The issue is similar to the black swan phenomenon. Publishers are deciding what will sell based on what sold in the past, but the next great surprise success almost definitively has to be different than those in the past. You need some ability to inject books into the system which don't fit the historical mold.
The best way to do it is probably For publishers to also publish books they think are good, even if they're prospects aren't great. Most will fail, but a few will win big. In a way, it's just like venture capital.
You're wrong because we all get the joke, and are over it. It's a very conscious branding choice to label themselves as counterculture and edgy. It won't appeal to everyone, but it clearly is a conscious marketing choice, and you'd have a hard time saying their marketing isn't going well.
I think your time would be better spent telling MetRx or Ensure to change their names, considering they are brands which are not very successful at capturing the market Soylent is dominating (the bottled-nutrition-by-choice market).
As far as I can tell their only issue is quality control and customer communication, changing their name wouldn't fix either.
Can someone explain why notifying the device of exercise and eating is necessary? Is it because 5 minutes is too low of an interval, or because the glucose sensor is slow, or because the body relies on other eating and exercise cues to regulate insulin.
Cloudflare has a pretty simple policy. They only censor content when they legally have to, or when it's child porn. That actually opens them up to a lot of heat from people who aren't big fans of the KKK, the Westboro Baptist Church, or botnets. BUT they don't specifically allow botnets as a weird method of promoting them, it's a widely applied policy.
I would bet things would be a fair bit easier for them if they agreed to take things down which most people don't like, but from my position they are taking a very principaled stand for free speech. Are people on hn actually arguing we want more censorship on more places on the web?

The Slack/GitHub model is to sell visibility to the company. X of your employees are using this, do you want to know how? Do you want an SLA? PCI compliance? $100k/yr.

The vast majority of what you learn in a CS program was published in the 50-70s. Just because it's a little outdated doesn't mean there isn't a lot to learn. Also, don't forget that you can always change schools, as hard as it might seem, it can be the right call.
