![]() ![]() And, of course, this new “Infinity Symbol” does not even have the fifteenth of impact, innovation or daringness of the one and only, Lucent’s late 90s-defining “Ring of Innovation”.Īlso known as “The Big Red Zero,” “The Flaming Goose Egg,” “The Coffee Stain,” and, my favorite, “The Devil’s Asshole,” Lucent’s swooping, red brush stroke was (in)famously designed by Landor in 1996 to much of the industry’s (the telecommunications’, not the design’s) mocking chagrin. The only admirable trait in this new identity is the color, even if a slightly more colorful purple could have pumped up the volume to the next level: A 4 out of 10 in my imaginary rating scale. Instead of a company that could literally be poised for world domination through telecommunication and 88,000 employees. There isn’t enough positive reinforcement I can offer to this criteria and the resulting icon: A too-soon throwback to the generally curvaceous persona of numerous start-ups during the dot com era. And so as not to disappoint, there is plenty of rhetoric around the hue: a) “ combines the stability of blue with the energy of red” and b) “ has traditionally symbolized power and ambition and is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence and creativity.” On the trying-to-not-be-generic typography they offer that it “is designed to aid readability and comprehension with upper and lowercase letters.” No word, however, on what the generous shading means. ![]() The identity was designed by EURO RSCG Worldwide - yes, I know: “Huh?” - and the resulting icon for the identity is dubbed “ The Infinity Symbol” formed by the literal unity between Alcatel’s “A” and Lucent’s “L” in what the press release describes as an icon that “looks as if it were drawn by hand” and, more importantly, “portraying the combination of two great companies creating a better future for its employees, its customers and its customers’ customers.” If that is not enough meaning for you, the new identity also symbolizes “endless possibilities for the future of the combined company, and its commitment to being a strong, stable and enduring ally for our customers around the world.” As glaring as the new identity is, it is the selected color that surprised me the most, as purple - a rare choice in corporate and brand identity, and perhaps Alcatel-Lucent’s boldest move in establishing a recognizable brand - is a very hard color to pull off unless you are Barney. This past December 1st, the merger was official and a new identity for the siamesed company was unveiled. In April of 2006 Paris-based Alcatel announced that it would merge with New Jersey-based Lucent Technologies, creating one of the world’s biggest telecommunications companies. ![]() ![]() This collection is manufactured with 100% quilting quality cotton.

If you're not sure, author a region free NTSC version which plays in America/Canada, and often in other PAL DVD players.Most NTSC DVD players do NOT play PAL DVDs well.However, since some PAL DVD players will have trouble with NTSC, you need to decide if you want to author both an NTSC and a PAL version.So if you need to choose, pick NTSC if you can't do both. Most of the rest of the world can play PAL DVDs and those players often have no trouble playing region free NTSC DVDs too.DVD players in North America USA/Canada and some other countries play NTSC DVDs and often have trouble playing PAL DVDs even if they are supposed to be region free players.Computers can read and play both NTSC and PAL DVDs.TrepStar authored DVDs are region free, but you still have to choose between NTSC format DVD or PAL format DVD.This is set within the authoring software.

The decision was partially a cultural one, as Budman thought employees would be more motivated to focus on efficiency and the product. On the flip side, other companies like Uber and WeWork, which have each raised billions only to struggle to find business models and turn profits, have shown that VC dollars don't guarantee a road to success.īackblaze intentionally sought to avoid VC funding, even though it took some over the years, according to Budman. ![]() And 16 companies valued at $1 billion or more have gone or are expected to go public in 2021 despite having zero revenue, marking an all-time high since the dot-com boom.

Revenue for the service grew 65% year over year, bringing in $14.2 million for the company in 2020.īackblaze, however, isn't alone in IPOing with limited funding and revenue. Now fourteen years after its founding, Backblaze believes its established the product and cultural foundation to go public, partially because of B2. According to Backblaze's website, B2 costs $0.005 per gigabyte of storage each month compared to $0.021 with AWS, $0.017 with Azure, and $0.020 with Google Cloud.

And they each far surpassed Backblaze in revenue, reporting $318 million and $1 billion last year, respectively.

"We're actually hoping this shows that it is possible for companies to successfully become public companies without having to wait as long as some companies are feeling they need to wait today," Gleb Budman, CEO and co-founder of Backblaze, told Insider.įor comparison, DigitalOcean, which offers cloud storage competitive to Backblaze's B2 offering, raised $456.4 million before going public earlier this year. ![]() ![]() And regulatory filings show that last year, Backblaze booked a net loss of $6.6 million on revenues of $53.78 million - nothing to sneeze at, but it only represents a small piece of a market worth tens of billions.

Deathloop continuously surprises and challenges players with mysteries like the secret location in Fristad Rock, and the cassette puzzle that follows. The DEATHLOOP pictograms puzzle in Fias Fortress can be a head scratcher. If you are unaware of its location then let us take you there. Completing the Fia Visionary lead, " Afternoon Delight," will shed more light on this next mystery. Deathloop Cassette Puzzle: Where To Find and How To Solve by Ash SeptemTo solve the Cassette puzzle, you will confront two visionaries of Deathloop Fia and Charlie who are entangled up in a bit of romance. The Order of Operations explains that the code is in a safe in Karl's Bay near the Yerhva (Queen of Riddles) machine. The Yerhva safe has another document that points players towards Fia in order to decipher the cassette puzzle. The console requires a code to open the next door. It’s definitely one of the trickier puzzles to figure out, especially because the four pictograms are scattered all across Fia’s fortress, and are pretty tricky to find. Inside the secret location, players will find a cassette tape console with a few empty slots, an Order of Operations document, and the Watching Paint Dry recording. The Deathloop Charlie’s Obnoxious Machine cassette puzzle is a conundrum you have to solve in the Afternoon Delight mission by finding four Fia pictogram locations. This is not the only quest in Deathloop with different clues and answers for each player. Colt must figure out how to break the loop and defeat his enemies by gathering intel and progressing a little further each time the loop is reset. The game follows Colt Vahn, a man stuck in a time loop and restarting the same day each time he dies. DEATHLOOP has a lot of optional content hidden in its four major areas, and the boathouse puzzle tasks you with saving a random person by solving a series of tasks. Mysteries and puzzles are a staple of Arkanes newest title Deathloop. ![]() They can then drop down and walk along the shore to reach Charlie and Fia's secret meeting area. The DEATHLOOP boathouse puzzle can be very difficult to solve in your first go, and if you arent quick about it, you can easily die and be forced to begin the loop again. There are likely a few Eternalists in this area that players can either engage in combat or sneak past.Īfter dealing with or evading the enemies, players will need to reach the edge of the cliff overlooking the shore. They will be able to see the plane wreck stuck in ice from the photograph. They will need to climb up on the rock and hug the right side to follow the path toward the shore. To find the location from the photograph, players must exit the Tunnels into Fristad Rock and turn right to pass behind the neon yellow sign. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Part V examines the Supreme Court's scurrilous Oliphant v. Part IV discusses two Indian law cases that the United States Solicitor General has admitted are based upon lies and racist stereotypes nevertheless, the cases remain binding precedent. Based both in impermissible racial stereotypes and a doctrine of white supremacy, this case law is overtly racist. Part III discusses six canonical Indian law cases. As this Article demonstrates, these obligations are highly salient to federal Indian law jurisprudence. In Part II, this Article first delves into the development of legal ethics and then explores the contemporary ethical obligations of lawyers and judges relating to truth, equality, and justice. This begs the question: Is federal Indian law, as it is currently practiced, ethical? Can lawyers comply with their ethical obligations while simultaneously citing overtly racist, factually erroneous cases in the field of federal Indian law? This Article will demonstrate that much of the current practice of federal Indian law is in fact incompatible with modern standards of legal ethics. Federal Indian law jurisprudence is often nothing more than racism cloaked as law. Furthermore, many of the restrictions placed upon tribes by Congress are rooted in antiquated jurisprudence. Even a case wherein the Supreme Court explicitly declares a law regulating Indian Affairs unconstitutional but upholds the law because Indians are a dependent, weak, and helpless people continues to be cited in contemporary decisions.Īttorneys in the present day United States routinely use cases based on white supremacy to argue against American Indian rights, and judges unblinkingly cite these opinions in federal Indian law cases. Jurisprudence loaded with grotesque 19 racist stereotypes and factual errors about American Indians remains valid precedent. Hitchcock, the American Indian Dred Scott, not only remains binding law but is cited without generating controversy today in fact, it was cited during the Supreme Court's most recent term. Unfortunately, change has been far slower to come in the realm of federal Indian law. Indeed, a war was fought, and the Constitution amended, to cure its ill effects. Dred Scott serves as a reminder of how far the country has come. ![]() The case's racist rancor runs roughshod over any precedential value it may carry. When Kansas Solicitor General Stephen McAllister cited Dred Scott in support of the proposition that the Declaration of Independence is a values statement rather than law, public criticism forced the state Attorney General to quickly withdraw the brief and apologize for the citation. However, most lawyers and judges would never dream of citing Dred Scott. They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit.Īlthough the case was effectively superseded by the passage of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, aspects of the decision remain binding law and have continuing influence.
