My apologies.
Phew, I'm not alone. Word for word, to the letter.
If you replace entrepreneurs with journalist, you get the same picture. You have some top tier, and then you get every hack that writes a web column that "shouldn't even bother trying".

FCC, computer fraud and abuse act, DMV. You should have thrown in plane to come up the most regulated industries where you are HIGHLY restricted in what you can do with your device.
I've listened to Justin all the way through this from the start on the other side, it's interesting seeing this from your perspective. Thanks for sharing.

I like it, there have been a couple projects where this would have cut time in half.

Some of the controls were hard to navigate on an iPad Pro. Time in particular was hard to use, not enough space. This is a fault of the resolution of the pro, but if the targets aren't big enough, I'm scrolling the page instead of the hours.

I don't understand why we're doing this. They will eventually be contaminated in the next 500 years and that's not long evolutionarily speaking. As tech becomes cheaper and the third world starts breaking into the "modern era", we'll have more failed satellites embedded in the sides of every moon in the solar system. And NASA legitimately struggles to make these devoid of life. An exuberant little nation punching a little above its weight category certainly won't.
There are a lot of institutions in America that look really good on film, but the reality doesn't match the ideal.

Comment out all but the first and output the result. If it's what you expected, uncomment next line and output the result. Is it what you expected. Repeat... Debugging is just a specialized form of troubleshooting so the same rules apply. Bring the system to a known good, and increase until you find where it breaks.
On 1.5 billion cows with an average release of 70-120kg per year (I went with 90kg) you'll get a reduction by 1,350,000,000kg of methane. Thats a difference. A single percent drop from one of the main contributors of green house gasses is huge.
