Comment "reversing a position" (Score 1) 31

I've only been paying attention since 1990 but every single time a feature they don't offer "is stupid" until they offer it.

Even when I liked the company this Cluster B behavior always bothered me.

If there's an example of "that's a really nice feature our competitor has but we don't offer it yet" I haven't seen it.

The closest I can think of was offering WebObjects for Solaris. Not sure if that ever shipped or we just had a beta. I bailed from that Healthcare IT team when the CIO pulled funding for two-phase commit among disparate patient medication systems with the rationale "even if medication errors kill someone it'll be cheaper to settle the lawsuits than pay for the license." Enough people left that they outsourced and everybody still hates that replacement system.

I learned too late that MBA's don't care about quality.

Let them do their thing.

I remember in High School the Camaro guys couldn't stop talking about how their Camaros were better than Mustangs but the Mustang guys never felt the need to denigrate the Camaros.

It's a matter of nature.

Of course, that's why they hid the disclaimers in the article where nobody reads them. I seriously doubt Anduril actually cares about any of that, or even takes it seriously. They want to sell some expensive laptops to the US military and "USA USA USA" currently turns enough peoples' brains off that it makes a great marketing slogan.

holding the value of the asset directly on the blockchain. For example, the blockchain holds the actual bitcoins I just mined.

WTF does that mean? A blockchain holds numbers. That's it. There's no such thing as "a bitcoin." Bitcoins are numbers. The Bitcoin blockchain has a mechanism where transactions (not bitcoin) are trackable, but that's definitely not the same thing as "value."

physical share

What is this? A share is a portion of a company. There used to be certificates that said you owned some number of shares but those weren't shares, they were just pieces of paper that proved ownership, and even those are virtually unheard of today.

The right way to do this is to hire a group of developers and have test volunteers report workflow problems - then FIX them - then iterate. That's the point of choosing an open source solution.

Eventually there would be no problems remaining.

But so many possible scenarios exist that it's impossible to guess what happened here.

They use TSMC and Samsung, so South Korea, Taiwan, or, theoretically, the US.

Components sourced from U.S. and allied-country suppliers account for more than 90% of the BlueChip prototypes’ component procurement cost.

Both South Korea and Taiwan are US allies.

The more interesting question is what are the 10% that they aren't sourcing from allies?
