Docker has at least one product (Docker data center) that is aimed at enterprises. I know because I was almost going to go work there on that product. It's not just a container company.

That's a fair question. My reading is that their only differentiating factor was battery, but that wasn't accepted. OTOH, you can never prove that a thicker phone with higher battery life succeeded was because of extended life :)

That's not a reasonable reply though. Thicker phones were made and they flopped in the market. I'd be happier if software updates did not screw up battery life every now and then, like they do on Nexus.

Depends on your alternatives and your current level (of experience). For a brand new grad, if you can get into any product company, you're better off than going to Infosys, simply because of your next options. If your other options a

Hey hey,I actually upvoted you because your comment was greyed out. Sorry about the somewhat rude reply earlier, I'll blame that on caltrain.

Yeah, same feeling here as well. In his otherwise excellent book Shoe Dog, Phil Knight spent a paragraph talking about Rob Strasser, an early employee who left for Adidas, and about how it was a breach of loyalty.

Hey, this happened to me. The reason was that one of my older phone numbers was available to Google somehow, and it made that number a backup number to Fi. So when I dropped a call, it made a call to that old number, which is now owned by s

> " the real way you pay for it is via your time" Very true of my on-campus degree from Gatech as well. There wasn't any flexibility in spreading out courses due to my visa status. Tech tends to expect grads to leave in 1.

One counter-anectode to your examples (and your condescending "point"): I spent six months (Nov '16 - May '17) with my license yanked away after a seizure. Uber (and Lyft) changed my life at that time. The last time I wa

It's a regular room, nothing special (in terms of using the word "cabin"). 4 years ago at San Diego interns were 3 to a room, regular engineers were 2 per room, and I guess at some point it became 1 per room. Kind of useless
