Already seeing startups out of funding and not able to raise more being given away to companies that can assume the payroll and running costs. We've had 5 such approaches in the past 6 weeks of which 2 we have taken over. It is going t

Pretty happy with my loaded up Studio performance wise which has replaced Mac Pro's I've had for the past 3 generations. Thunderbolt changes the upgradability by just plugging stuff in as needed. Only RAM is a concern this way.

These guys were a complete joke; and a good example of fleecing the VC community. Good riddance to bad rubbish

A cert issue like this is pretty trivial..... concerning if they have nobody who knows how to fix it.

TomTom like Here and Garmin are fighting to try to stay relevant in a market that has been seized by Android Auto and CarPlay. The issue is the car vendors do not want to surrender their navigation and entertainment to Google and Apple as n

And even more interesting is that family usually owns multiple brand dealerships sometimes to the point of almost a monopoly in the local market.

Very true, it was the end of the DEC Alpha as Compaq chose the Itanic.

i860 did well in embedded applications and for awhile was the mainstay in most RAID controllers and network communication processors. Not what Intel wanted from it but it did have a long life in such applications. I spent many years worki

Good point and 10% is low. Let’s say you are in Bay Area and 1 hour commute each way - so 2 hours a day. Even if you put in 10 hours at the office it’s still 20% lost time in the commute. 20% is a lot of your “working time” to be non-prod

Wonder what the Turo terms of use say over such things....

Up42 only exist due to discounting pricing below commercial rates with some loss-leader pre-purchase discounting model. History has shown that when you sell something for less then you pay for it; hoping that users don’t fully use their cre

Banks, credit card issuers, and many brokerages suck from a tech stack perspective. During the y2k times I did a lot of contract work porting old COBOL code to be y2k compliant. The number of seriously spooky security things was mind boggl

They have an 8 tile version in internal testing for the next generation Mac Pro workstations. It won't launch until 3nm is ramped up. But that is when it is completely over with Intel, AMD, Nvidia completely.

Cruise has been a disaster inside GM for awhile now with a lack of progress to bring Super-Cruise to all models all across the US. They have had several tenders for the data required to build out the Super-Cruise maps but these have all bee

From Ubiquiti directly -- he tried to sell them Home Assistant. When it did not work out he left abruptly in what was described as a "temper tantrum"

Hey Robbie - glad to see you. Yes, the iOS app was transferred prior to Nabu Casa ramping up their current approach. Too bad; if you hung on you could have gotten some $$$ for it. It would have made me happy to see you financially rewarde

He tried to sell it to Ubiquiti but they did not bite. So he ramped up the Nabu Casa approach to "control" the top community developers to ensure he did not loose control of the project. It can only fork if momentum to fork; and

It's a yearly state of the union. You are informed of what they want to inform you about. Nothing "open" about it.

Home Assistant is great, but it will face huge hurdles as the founder tries to cash in on the popularity. It's already underway. 1) Nabu Casa was founded with a claim that "it will all be transparent and reported" as to inco

Check out exchange funds, or sometimes called swap funds. They are designed for this exact purpose.

You are using Upwork as a broker. They get a slice by being the middle man. Their job is to ensure stuff like this doesn't happen. Tell them to fuck off and find another platform; and pay them nothing.

Major issue. We use ASML for wafer cut/packaging. We were just advised of delays up to 18 months.

You would be shocked at how much "military critical" software is built on OSS tools, libraries, and code bases. More shocking are the primary contractors charge top rates, contribute little to OSS, and try to hide the OSS usage f

Sadly this is usually the case in big beasts. The measure of performance, success and efficiency is very different. You have 3 choices: 1) You either accept this is how it is, collect a paycheck, and live with it. 2) You try to change it.
