Every browser starts out like this.

>The Model T of phones

Not even remotely close.

>Arguably one of the greatest inventions in the history

Good joke.

Oh wait, you are serious.

My fucking sides are in orbit.

Who the fuck would buy this. There are literally millions of them out there.

I wish I had 65 grand to spaff up the wall.

If you work for Amazon, your life isn't tough. Work may be tough, but this is a first world problem that we shouldn't even be discussing. Stupid article

I said sane people. Crazy people can do what they want.

Remember a decade ago when chrome was a good browser that didn't eat up all your RAM?

I imagine this came about when an engineer at Google left a few browsers open before going to lunch and came back to his super computer frozen and locked up, opens task manager and sees the browsers using 77gb of ram.

Ya, from my experience, everyone I've worked with in tech is very humble, extremely nice, and just a normal person with incredible talent/drive. Nobody is living a crazy lifestyle. They just might have a nice house with nice things and go to other countries for vacation. They're not buying lambos or living in mansions.

Isn’t memory-saving the opposite of energy saving? Everyone always complains about memory usage, but unused memory is wasted and can be beneficial to use it instead.

It's not that hard to make a board, but what use do 99% of people have for their own pcb? And then the problem comes when you try to sell it actually designing for rf regulations is legit phd level voodoo work.

I think they summed it up quite nicely. What's your take?

And what about every other year when the stock surges 30%. Is that because of the workers? When things are good, it's because of the workers. But when things are bad, it's the "poor reputation/service of the company."

Good grief. These employees took a job where the comp is outlined ahead of time. It's heavy stock. You'd have to be highly regarded to not understand the risk there. There's a chance to smash your total comp target, but there's also a chance to not hit it. That is fair.

Exactly. They want all of the upside with none of the downside. Life's tough.

> The company won’t issue more restricted stock to employees to help them meet their target compensation for this year, some of the people said.

Nor should they. That's the whole point of receiving stock as compensation. When the company does well, you can exceed your target via an increased stock price. The flip side is of the company doesn't do well, you may not meet your target. This should obvious when you take the job. If you want a job where there is no variation above or below your target, then take a job that pays 100% in base salary.

No, it’s free in the US too

If you can design a basic schematic, you can design a basic PCB. And if you can open and understand schematics for some development boards, you can design a basic schematic.

That being said - it's still way beyond the skill level of an average guy. Sure, it doesn't actually require a PHD - but most people don't even know how to use an Arduino board.

But for those who want to get into hobby electronics or even embedded proper? There's never been a better time to do so.

Cheap and capable PCB fabs, free open source design and simulation tools, downloadable datasheets, open SDKs, readily available components and hardware tools and plentiful resources on how to use all of that. 20 years ago this just didn't exist. 40 years ago, "hobbyist PCB" involved hand drawing the traces, manually etching copper with corrosive chemicals and drilling all the holes - for projects that today would be considered basic.

Something to buy a year after release, after MS has acquired, maybe. I have a hunch there's going to be a looooooot of disinformation about this game in the lead up.

Shareholders make a dollar I make a dime, this is why I shit on company time.

And if it’s a blizzard game that is online only servers will be overloaded for a week after launch

Time will tell what works and what doesn't.

I sold mine for $550 1 year after the debacle ended. I even sent the fireproof box they shipped me to return it in. I never returned the phone, ebayer scooped it up in minutes after it went live. I always wonder how much it might have sold for if I didn't use buy it now.
