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?

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)
