I think in this context, it is meant to describe how the underlying hardware AND software work together and to describe the potential cloud (public or private) opportunities of both.

Very true

I googled and added it up (just out of curiosity) using the BOM, and total cost was ~$88USD (not counting shipping)

Also, the OS is FreeRTOS (Open sourced by AWS/Amazon in '17) if anyone is interested

Hey Greg - serious question - The A320NEO has a very similar engine placement as the Max8. Wouldn't that air frame be faulty too if the problem was solely due to engine placement being in front of the wings?

Greg - Serious question - How is that air frame on the Max8 faulty due to engine placement when the A320NEO has almost the same design?

Agree completely. Being isolated from people and not making connections can be detrimental. Being in a co-working environment and being able to have small interactions can make a big difference.

My opinion is if you don't need a tech lead, great. But, most teams do. Someone needs to be there making a final decision. Also, it depends on the company and the type of team. If it is a government organization and the majority of the development team are contractors, a tech lead is most definitely needed to advocate in the best interests of the government entity. In this scenario, the tech lead would need to be a government employee.

Forgot the quotes, but yes, "LAZER"-Walker.

Love the idea. Good jorb.

You bring up a valid point. Presenting a picture as the only means for authentication removes the benefit of digitized confirmation. Pics on the app store link appear to show a clock of some sort over the picture, but even that could be easily recreated.

This is a great, great article. It gives you insight and makes you realize how intelligent he really is. Compared to Steve Jobs, I would bet Gates' IQ is a full 10-15 points higher. However, what Jobs lacked in intelligence he more than made up for with charisma and ability to relate to people. Highly enjoyable read.

That's a great story. Thank you for sharing!

> More interesting was the fact they have given up screening on academic credentials.

I agree. I've always thought screening based on a three tier system based on how quickly you can solve problems, quality of solution and personality (ability to get along with co-workers) would more accurately reveal the best candidates.

Politics.

Even taking it a step further - If monitoring my phone calls about my kid being sick and puking in the back seat of my car keeps me safe from assholes, be my guest. Listen away.

They didn't release all of the details. We would need to know which makes and models and years this does/does not work on. In the videos they only showed Honda products (Acura) (The MDX was a 2000-2006 model) but does not work on GM or Ford. So this is most likely is manufacturer specific.
