   What a silly argument, decoupling the company's status from the contributions of its high-performing employees as if they're independent events. Google probably runs at 25% profit margin, so $10M/y savings equate to $40M&#x2F

   This site is misleading, tricking you into entering your name on an ad. Also one of the individual country's input fields triggers Chrome's CC popup.

    It does seem like an article written by a person with a personal agenda against that particular startup's founder. Maybe a disgruntled employee of that other failed startup that is mentioned in the article ?

    I find it really sad that Sonos resorted to this. In my mind, this means it is struggling to find it's place in a market that now includes all the big names. I own a Sonos play:5, a couple Nest Hubs and some Amazon echoes, and even to

    You might want to search for "esp32 cam" on Amazon. For ~$10 you can get BT/WiFi, 2x 240MHz 32-bit CPUs and a 2MP camera.
