I give you labour. You give me money.

GTFO with that family shit.

It's even worse. They already have something called Android One. I'm sure this won't cause any confusion.

This is the reason I think Amazon will end up winning the cloud computing race. Providing support is simply not in Googles DNA.

Ah yes. The good, old Google we all know and love. Introducing yet another confusing name for an existing product.

Not only is formal methods more effective for HW, the incentives are also more tilted towards HW. If you fuck up the HW design, well..you're fucked. With SW, "you can always push out an update" mentality exists. I'm not saying this to criticize SW, but this is more an example of how you conform to the ecosystem in which you exist.

>Sometimes I think people on the west coast seem to think of a city as a place that's supposed to stay the same forever ("forever" being defined as starting at about 1960).

No, forever is defined as "the day after _I_ moved in"

Crazy profitable? They make $7.5M in revenue with 70 engineers (in SF?). Sounds to me like they might actually be losing money.

This would make sense if the other entities were actually making, which they don't. Cut the ties to Google and everything else dies.

I'm surprised Verizon hasn't "transitioned" these legacy accounts to a "newer, better and faster" (cough) accounts..

I presume there are some legal reason why they haven't done so yet?

Just to be clear. Emil Michael never floated the idea about doing oppo research to her face. This was done during a gathering with some journalists where Ben Smith from Buzzfeed was present and reported on it:

"Michael at no point suggested that Uber has actually hired opposition researchers, or that it plans to. He cast it as something that would make sense, that the company would be justified in doing."

The only people Infosys discriminates against is people who don't like to be underpaid.

Adding this kind of friction only discourages people with good intentions. It doesn't stop people with not so noble intentions (who are most likely backed with a lot of money)

> They are the Walmart of online shopping;

What are you basing this on? Amazon (Prime) customers are way more wealthier than Walmart customers:

To this day, I'm still puzzled by the fact that the wage fixing incident didn't blow up in the press. Amazing..

As the article (and you) point out, the datacenter and mobile space is already lost to Intel and ARM respectively. The only path forward is through the IoT space. It's the only area where you might need something even smaller than ARM.

This is really a nice visual comparison of Google Maps and Apple Maps over the years.

The gist of the article is that Google has deemphasized roads in favor of showing places, e.g. bars, restaurants, shops, etc.

I think you're looking at this wrong. It's not that a startup chooses between young/inexperienced/cheap vs old/experienced/expensive. It's that a startup doesn't get to choose because startup life is brutal. It basically requires you to have no family and kids, so only young single people are willing to do it.

IANAL, but how can this be legal? Aren't they effectively agreeing not to compete? Surely this can't be right?

Yeah. Their biggest purchase is Beats at $3B, which is astonishing low for a corporate giant like Apple. I'm not sure whether this is due to prudence or just NIH syndrome.

To me, Twitter goes against anything stands for. Twitter is like the wild wild west. I really can't imagine how they would fit in with Apples very polished M.O.

There is a word for "right, but too early": wrong

Looks very nice. Too bad there isn't a C API.

No way a foreign company will be allowed to buy Toshiba due to national security concerns. One of domestic players will be to chip in and be partial owner.

Because in many markets, Comcast is the only provider.

Hey. CEO here. So you're telling me if I raise salaries I might hire better engineers? Hmm, wonder if there are any theories about this relationship.

Sometimes you have to tell the user what they they want (iPhone) and sometimes the user will say: "NOPE" (Google Glass)

It's still surprising to me how well they've been holding up in their Glassdoor reviews:

The PR department must work overtime to scrub any negative reviews.

I highly doubt that John Deere operates any semiconductor foundries. Those foundries aren't your normal run of the mill factories. They are $10B monsters just to get started.

No offense, but how could you avoid addressing the elephant in the room?

"Will my salary be COL adjusted?"

The "build it and they'll come" approach to planned cities never seems to work out. It looks like a city has to form organically to be viable.
