+1. Have a chevy volt. Something like 90% of my driving is on electric, but you are still able to make long distance drives.

What killed it was lack of marketing it as a better hybrid & the smaller size. If I had kids I'm not sure I'd of bought the car.

I wonder if they put the volt drive train on a crossover how it'd sell. EV Range for the groceries, gas for the long distance road trip.

I'm using chromeos as my primary computer. However I also have a Linux workstation at my desk.

So chromeos is more my mobile/meeting computer.

I believe most enterprise shops sell what they don't have. But they also know by the time the customer is ready they'll have it built & ready. The customer is also aware of the current state and timelines.

For theranos and fyre festival. I'd say it was less playing timing to their advantage and more fraud.

the benefit is outsourcing operations. If he used dedicated instances he'd need to manage his SQL server, disks, deal with hardware failures...etc.

7k$/month is cheaper than hiring an additional head.

Google let's you choose. But yes common practice.

A huge benefit of fronting the costs is getting points on the spend, it adds up quickly

In this case amazon produced, stored, and shipped counterfeit goods.

Ebay only allows 3rd parties to have a listing, much like craigslist.

How isnt Amazon liable for this / sued?

If Walmart did the same there would be various lawsuits

Reminds me of the JavaScript craze of 2010-2015. With a new framework each week on HN.

Give it time it'll mature and people will be burnt out from all the changes

32% of `cloud` marketshare. Cloud includes things like Salesforce's SaaS, Oracle DB in the cloud, Office 365, gSuite, ...etc.

I'm sure if you look at Compute, Storage, and Networking cloud spend, AWS has a much higher marketshare.

There were Arab Jews. Most the Arab countries kicked out their Jewish population.

Her job is not just to cut costs. And its not a simple job by any stretch.

From the pay data I've seen Google pays more median total comp than others. Uber, Pinterest, AirBnB, Lyft...etc might pay more but not in liquid comp.

How are they different? Both are targeted.

Sure the tracking ads aren't as good, but imagine they were just as highly targeted and relavent.

To quote the top reddit post:

"""

This is why I watch Linus for entertainment and not for learning. I enjoy watching these videos because he does things that I cannot afford to do myself and in my opinion the projects are entertaining to watch. The Techquickie videos are great to watch for learning, because they actually spend a lot of time on having correct information.

I love ads that give me relevant new information.

Linus tech tips is a great example of this. Some of his reviews are paid sponsorships, however the info is still relevant.

Same goes for Casey neistats review of the diji drones.

Sales people don't get anywhere near that kind of commission.

Most SWEs I know are not making more than they bring in profit.

Some of Google's services.

We were also in an ice age back then.

You'd be surprised how dumb people are about this stuff.

Agreed. However many tech companies are over valued right now.

"The problem isn't them eventually getting paid, the problem is them lacking money in their pockets right now to pay the bills they need to pay right now."

That's the comment I was replying to. If they need money to pay their bills they can get a 0% loan for their missed paychecks.

There's obviously reasons to be pissed about the shutdown.

You can make an offer of 80-20 then do financing with 80-10-10.

Once they accept the offer all they care about is getting their money. Note you still Need to show in your offer letter that you have the cash to do 20% down.

Note an 80-10-10 is both an 80-20 mortgage along with a 10% loan.

Another interest free loan for government employees.

I believe federal employees still get a paycheck for missed time. Just they won't get it till government opens back up.

There's plenty of orgs offering government workers interest free loans.

Many lenders in Bay area don't charge PMI with an 80-10-10. And you can also have the mortgage be a 30 year fixed loan.

I considered 80-10-10 over traditional 20% down as a way to lower my risk and leverage cheap interest rates.

Put the other 10% down in a diversified stock portfolio over 10 years would likely fetch > 4.5% apr.

> Apple has a good challenge in front of them for the next 5 years, they have enough cash in the bank to ride it out and try some moonshots, but there will be some big changes/chances in the next 5 years, and I'd be willing to bet that Cook will leave as CEO by 2024.

I don't believe apple's shareholders would let them burn a singificant amount of their cash reserves for R&D over next 5 years...unless investors truley believe said R&D has solid ROI.

Investers could also ask for all that cash to be issued to them.

See altababa / Yahoo for example

Unless you knew the us government would know you did it. And this was to show them just how much you've compromised the us...and are making it known.
