I also read the same guerilla advertising for an alternative between the lines. If I understood it correctly from the article, the alternative itself is basically more of the same, but with a stronger signal.
So they basically will launch 300 satellites with an alternative that will face the exact same issues once jamming output signals increase too?
I like this post, and reality is of course more nuanced. You can read it between the lines of this article as well: by taking smaller more frquent steps (posting more regularly in context of the article) you can recover faster and and try more ideas in a short amount of time. I guess this is also what a lot of modern development methodologies and start-up mentality rely on too, so I hardly think I'm sharing something new.

Of course you still have to take the plunge no matter how small.
In the Netherlands by law you have the right to retrieve any written internal correspondence regarding your interviews as to ascertain it was a fair decision and decision making process.
Side effect of this is also to keep any bias out of the equation and, being on the other side, easier to call out colleagues making inappropriate or downright discriminating comments (which in my experience unfortunately happens everywhere still)
Interesting, I'll give this a try. I'm hoping one day to retire my subscription/cloud-based back-ups with something docker based that still back-ups to multiple instances (local and remote).
True. I think extreme circumstances might also lead to extreme motivation (obsession) and possibly achievements, skill or knowledge. Whether self-inflicted or caused by surroundings.
This case clearly the iceman is at the center of it all and the article was a tough read to me. With the grinding downwards spiral so clearly summed up in all the events I'm sure the interviewed people are now seeing all the red flags in hindsight.
I don't know how it is for other countries outside the US, but in the Netherlands it doesn't add up at all. E.g. Russian social media site VK.com ranks #4 and another 5 Russian sites (in Cyrillic, which most Dutch people can't even read) decorate the top 20:
