I humbly suggest, get over such vitriol in a opinion & knowledge sharing platform like HN, maybe get some professional help. Just a sincere advice from fellow user It isn't a directed sarcasm. Writing like this isn't okay Quot

I hope this is a worthy & commensurate lesson for Elon Musk, who has been recklessly playing with the stock markets, flouting norms & trying to be an iconoclast in the not-so-benevolent way. Sometimes, hard lessons are necessary. Mo

I graduated in Electrical Engineering & I feel the spectrum of things one learnt in EE makes for a very well rounded engineer. That being said, only a fraction of PhDs awarded nowadays are "core EE" topics. I can safely say I

Just out of university, Intel offered me a job, pending a cursory background check & I would have been getting the onboarding details. Since all the hoops were checked, I declined other pending offers and negotiations. They declined it

This could be more likely viewed as a über-rich person who toyed with a company, its investors & stockholders in bad faith. From the 62-page lawsuit document, Twitter seems to have complied with his ever-increasing demands for auditing

If experience has shown me anything in tech scene, humbly my opinion feels that designers make all crafty looks for businesses but do not change much with regards to their personal choices. You could be right about the niche group. I would

Just a personal viewpoint: I wonder who's the target audience? Too artsy & eye catching for regular folks, with the backlight notification & sheer see through back. Too tacky for regular designers (I guess Jony Ive would go ins

The original Google Nexus type color configurable notification would be such a welcome addition. Got mail? Red blink. Got a tweet reply? Blink blue. Even Nokia E72/73/75 had beautiful breathing lights.

My biggest discomfort was with the Control center. It was way too hardcore frosted-glass effect. UI, icons were flat but that was easier to train your eyes - but anywhere toggles and sliders came up, it was just way too flat.

30MT 1 KM away is probably similar to ~5MT directly overhead by back of the envelope calculation. Sufficiently secure still I would say. None of the published warheads specs are 30MT & even 5MT would be the combined strength of few MIRV
