Starlink Teases ‘Community’ Discount for Shared Satellite Access. Here’s How It Works

SpaceX may soon allow multiple Starlink users to share access to a single dish for a lower monthly rate, according to a post on a customer support page.

How Python grew from a language to a community

When it first launched in 1991, Python “wasn’t lucrative,” remembers long-time Python community organizer Paul Everitt (now a Python and web developer advocate at JetBrains). “But we believed in it. The passion was there — we were doing good in the world.” Yet surprisingly, Python traveled a bumpy early road on its way to becoming the world’s #1 most popular programming language, safely ensconced in the nonprofit Python Software Foundation that would help it grow through the years. It’s a stor

How I do support and community

I could see myself running a hotel. A little world where the architecture is otherworldly. And of course, the service is impeccable – because nothing matters more in any business than how customers are treated. (source) I collected this photo as inspiration ~14 years ago. Feels good to finally use it. But while it’s normal for one night in a hotel to cost ~$300, most people expect the price of a month of using pro-grade software – some of which cost millions of dollars to produce and maintain

CookUnity Prepared Meal Delivery Review (2025): Chef-Centric Meals

It shouldn't be surprising if a plate of chicken lababdar tastes delicious. The dish is among my favorite North Indian gravies, a slightly edgier cousin of butter chicken that's a bit spicier and tangier but just as creamy. What was surprising was that this particular chicken had arrived in the mail. Specifically, it came in a microwaveable tray from CookUnity meal delivery service that looked a little like a white-label TV dinner—packed up earlier that morning in Seattle, then driven down to m

VTuber agency VShojo shuts down after talent exodus

VShojo has failed and I’ve mismanaged the company into the situation you’re all witnessing. So today I am sharing the difficult news that VShojo is shutting down, and I take full responsibility for the decisions that led us to this point. I’ve been doing everything I can to fundraise and right the ship these past few months, but despite my efforts, we are in a worse position, and those I care about are now paying the price. Over the past few years, we raised around $11 million to pursue a bol

The Demise of China’s Hottest Online Shopping Craze

During the height of the pandemic, a unique kind of online shopping became one of the hottest trends in China’s tech industry. Called “community group buying,” it allowed consumers to save money on everything from apples to iPhones by placing bulk orders together with their friends and family. The model, which was kind of like Groupon meets Instacart, proved especially popular for groceries. But now, China's community group-buying platforms are vanishing one by one. Late last month, Meituan, th
