<p>I'm listening to the Giants on the radio, and it looks like the data feed is about one pitch behind. (I suppose for gambling reason.) It would be neat if there was some way to sync a stream with the animation.</p>

<p>Obviously way too easy to take over these 'orphaned' packages if it can be done in an automated manner. GitHub/NPM/etc doesn't have this issue, they need to stop equivicating. Sounds more like an anonymous FTP site.</p>

<p>Why do you feel that most christian sects cannot decide they are heretics? We're not talking about some Lutheran Synod politics BS, they have this whole fantasy/scifi book and theology.<p>Obviously it's a free country, so they can say whatever they want.</p>

<p>Nah, from a more intellectual protestant tradition -- they were not fighting doctrine and I remember at least a couple of those from Sunday sermons.<p>None of that remotely resembles the Book of Mormon, so honestly you are just really shitty at whatever you are trying to do.</p>

<p>Well, the New Testament (what Christians care about) is entirely set in the historical first century Roman Empire [0], all places are accurate and known to exist.<p>The Book of Mormon postulates some fantasy world perhaps not unlike Middle Earth? And also weird theological stuff from 19th century science-fiction? Sorry, that is a different religion.<p>[0] expect for the last book of revelations of the future.</p>

<p>>  aggressively rebrand<p>That had to be 20 years ago? Not that anyone likes the cable company.<p>As a comcast customer, their core internet service seems really solid. It comes in through some sketchy 1980s cables installed by some company who got bought by some company who got bought by Comcast. So occasionally a router in the back of a gas station blows up, the cable system wasn't exactly built to AT&T standards.</p>

<p>> although the reason is unclear to me<p>Not at all complicated, you don't get to add another book to the bible and claim to be the same religion.<p>I grew up in a very liberal christian church. Their take on mormons was "really nice people .. still heretics". Obviously there are bigger problems out there.</p>

<p>Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but there's no obvious switch to "just turn off all the legacy stuff, thnx".<p>Also, there has been a huge amount of churn on the tooling side, and if you have a legacy app, you probably don't wanna touch whatever build program was cool that year. I've got a react app which is almost 10 years old, there has to be tons of stuff which is even older.</p>

<p>Just pointing out -  a lot of snowy areas are very aggressive about plowing (and salting). For most people this is probably like "don't drive tomorrow" and not some need for knobby snow tires.</p>
