SulphurSmell··on Broadcom to acquire VMware for $61B
This is exactly correct. Hock (love him or hate him) knows exactly what he is doing, and is entirely unapologetic. He looks only at margin. You have $10B revenue stream at 2% profit margin? Hock will happily cut that in half for a 10% margin he can depend on. It's all about ARR. Great for shareholders and those with a mountain of RSU's... but not so great for employees. Was at CA...saw it happen.
SulphurSmell··on The Delicious Origins of the Domesticated Blueberry (2016)
I grew up in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Blueberries are a big part of living there. They grow wild all over the area, and there are always pickers scrambling around the rocks...free for all! Everyone seems to have "their spot" for best picking. I can say, for sure, that the small, intensely coloured berries I grew up with are far better than the monsters you find in the supermarkets.
