They’re also assholes as customers. Worked for a company that did monitoring for them and they were an absolute nightmare to deal with. They were so demanding of our time and liked to wave around legal threats so often that eventually management shelled out for a consulting company (who were SMEs with our product) just to manage their install.

Yeah this attrition is expected by Amazon. IBM and others did this earlier. If enough people choose to RTO they will do “real” layoffs and get a pat on the back in the news for not letting as many people go as they would have had to before. Optics I guess. IIRC this is the second round for Amazon.

Some are saying companies are doing this to keep their property values up but I think that’s only one facet. What I don’t see being called out often is companies doing this are hiring replacements overseas in tax havens and/or where they can pay less for talent. Real kicker is, those hires wind up being remote anyway to the anchor offices.

No you have to switch your vpn to Albania to avoid YouTube ads.

Especially since it was largely a failure in the racing series it competed which at the time was dominated for years by Nissan.

This would explain why some people I know that work there are panicking.

Used them since the company started but stopped this year due to the cost going up. Never had an issue.

I don’t know if it’s still the case but kernel support and related was nearly always an issue when I tested Raspi alternatives for building homebrew robots. OS updates were a gamble and support and documentation was not good to say the least. Raspi also has every HAT you can imagine to extend their capabilities too.

There’s a company doing this already. Giant battery sits behind the cab. They drive up, unplug it like a LEGO with a huge robot arm, plunk in a new one and good to go.

Hackernews is usually reliable to see what the new hotness is. But yeah this is a frequent problem.

Me too. Some development companies refuse to support it period or their games are unavailable to stream due to licensing etc., and that is the only reason I dual boot now. I would ditch it in a heartbeat otherwise.

IIRC the Voodoo 5 6000 also required an external power supply and people thought this was crazy at the time.

Pure damage control lingo. Anyone in the game for a while knows exactly how Broadcom operates. Theyre not hanging around while they squeeze the juice out until it becomes another SAP or Oracle. If he thinks a subscription model isn’t going to cause a mass exodus, he is a fool.

Arstechnica looking like a malware proliferating site itself on mobile.

I’ve seen them owned by the RSS functionality. So many little hidey holes. I can’t imagine how diverse their infrastructure is.

Never heard that phrase used there either. But uh… can confirm the rest. It’s a bummer to say the least.

Side note, never ever sign the first offer. They call it “first pencil.”

interesting. Usually they will try to start your car and take off using that signal boosting method.
