I mean pyramid scheme of course.

Others have said it but: So you decide to work for free for one of the richest companies in the world, to improve their product. Your reward? You get to invite other people to work for free too.
Think I'll pass.
Nice proof by jello, but you could have saved them 900 pages of dense math if you submitted this a few years ago..
[...] Much as we saw during SN9's ascent.
Do you mean SN8? SN9 has not flown yet. It just went through its cryogenic tank testing yesterday though, and will fly some time in January. And did you mean ascent or descent?
Haven't read TFA but it sounds like sampling at big box stores and supermarkets your population is biased towards people who go out and do the shopping, with a greater chance of having been infected?
I bet in many households that is going to be the same person more often than not, and that there's a big population of people who are mostly sheltering at home that was not sampled here?
This sounds like a disguised attempt at bragging about your stereo equipment. Queue Spinal Tap reference.
Haven't we had enough yet?
A big table is hard to interpret. Here's histograms, including means, standard deviations and links to the CSV data that I took from their HTML table:

In short:
PS4 games have a mean installation size of around 7.2 GB with a standard deviation of 11.1 GB, while Xbox games have a mean installation size of 10.5 GB with a standard deviation of 12.7 GB. The summary is misleading in saying that games "often" weigh in at over 40 GB. It's quite rare.
The link above breaks it down across "Major" and "Indie" games (division as at the article link). Short story there is: "Indie" games are on average tiny compared to the average across all games, while "Major" games are slightly larger.
Nothing should play unless I press play. Geez.
Thanks for taking the time to express what I've thought about the culture in slashdot comments for a long time. I also find the stubbornness and blindness to these issues among commenters strange, given the otherwise clear, open and logical thinking people here seem to strive for.
Since I don't work on this type of stuff myself, I may be a bit ignorant, but why not build it on top of APITrace? And in what way is APITrace lacking?
Obviously they didn't use enough cars.
Err I mean 2008. Time flies..
When I was going to the KDE 4.0 release party at Googleplex in 2010 (my only US trip), the pilot failed to put us down at SFO three times in a row. During the first two attempts, I remember thinking "wow, that was pretty close". He finally had to put us down in Oakland instead, where we had to sit on the runway for quite a while before the customs there got their act together and could process us.
This was a very misty January day though, and I have no idea if this is common at SFO.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!
