There seems to be a certain consensual hallucination that happens with these acquisitions. The acquirer says "you're amazing, you do great work, we don't want to change a thing, you'll still be completely autonomous, we'll just help you accelerate". And there's a good reason for it, the employees came to work for Slack, not Salesforce and if they all quit then the acquisition will have been a waste. So Salesforce makes all the same promises, but at the end of the day there's reality. The second Salesforce bought Slack, Slack ceased to exist, and all the workers now work for Salesforce. There's no culture clash between Slack and Salesforce. There's a Slack culture that once existed, and now there's Salesforce culture the company those workers now work at. You can embrace it, you can be unhappy, and you can leave. But remember, you're at Salesforce now and those other 70,000 workers - they joined the Salesforce culture, not the Slack culture and they sure as hell didn't buy you because of your culture.
And all those promises about Slack being independent and autonomous? Well sure, that was the plan, but now Slack is a part of Salesforce and Salesforce makes decisions that make sense for Salesforce, not Slack. So no, you don't get your own sales team, and no, you don't get your own customer support team. You're part of Salesforce now, it doesn't make sense. Oh and no, you aren't going to get the benefits you were getting at Slack, you don't work at Slack, you work at Salesforce, and hey! Some of those benefits may genuinely be better. Those HR reps that sorted all your perks at Slack? They're working in a Salesforce HR department now (if they weren't fired) and they're working to give you the Salesforce benefits.
It's a tough message but when someone buys the company you work for, you no longer work at the old company, you work at the new company, no matter what anyone says.
This is really incredible. With a rooted android phone and these tools, plus a couple others [1,2,3], you can get a skeleton to implement a backend for any app you want.
The world of ADS-B decoders is an annoyingly messy one, but antirez's dump1090 is the oldest decoder there is and you almost certainly don't want to use it--The decoding logic hasn't been improved in more than 7 years.
Wiedehopf's readsb is the latest decoder, which is under active development, and designed to pair well with the front-end UI that is also under the most active current development, tar1090.
The world of ADS-B decoders is annoyingly confusing, mostly because people keep forking one executable (while keeping the same name) that does both decoding and web UI instead of creating a decoding library where we could pool our collective efforts at improvement.

Imagine you've lived in the same house your entire life. There's a big couch taking up half the living room, but one of the legs is broken. When you were really little, it tipped over when you sat in it, so you just learned to walk around the couch over to the not-very-comfortable armchair and sit there instead.
This was so long ago that you don't even remember learning not to sit in the couch. You don't think about how much room that couch is wasting or how much time you spend walking around the couch to get to the chair. Sometmies you stub your toe on the way around, but everyone trips every now and then. You've been doing this so long that it is completely unconscious. Hell, you can and do navigate the room in the dark.
Friends ask you about your living room furniture and you—completely honestly as far as you know—say it's all fine. You describe your chair in detail. It's not perfect, but it's serviceable. Certainly lots of other people have furniture that's in worse shape. At least you don't have any of those problems.
Then you sit down with a therapist for a few hours and they say, "Hey, what's up with that couch?"
