Yes, it's the standard in every legal doc I've ever seen too, but most companies have typically done some accelerated vesting as part of severance. Of course they don't have to, but it's a generally lower cost way of showing some good will.

Interesting, the _majority_ of developers I know write in JVM languages - mostly Kotlin for new stuff at this point.

Typically I see folks using the Amazon Corretto java distribution.

If you trust Amazon, they were never storing images of your actual palm but instead creating and storing unique hashes from that data. Again, if you trust them, they did it in just about the most privacy protecting way possible.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, but this is just so much more annoying than using my palm that not only links my payment method but also prime membership.

Now I need to tap through a stupid app and scan a code.

We always stopped at whole foods on the way home from the gym, and I didn't always have my phone with me or readily accessible. This will definitely cause me to cut back on this quick stop in / impulse purchases.

What is the sample rate on the barometer?

If it’s sensitive enough, a compelling skydiving altimeter app could be developed. Considering most purpose built altis used worse screens and cost 350+, could be a quite compelling use case.

I returned mine today after attempting to use it for work for a few hours at a time over the last week. I felt the same eye strain with my Mac as a mirrored display.

Zoom calls were cool, but nobody could take the Persona seriously.

After a few days the eye strain seemed to get worse and worse, until yesterday it give me such a bad headache I decided that was enough.

I could imagine companies issuing iPhones with MDM and corporate credentials preconfigured

This is already happening with iPhones & iPads, the Dev tools just aren't anywhere close to being able to match macOS. I'm sort of surprised Apple hasn't at least ported Xcode to be able to run on iPadOS.

That might have been true at launch five years ago, but the amount of content is pretty insane after all of the updates they've done to the game. Haven't run into really any bugs in 40+ hours of playtime.

Does your apparent Apple hate blind you to how many devices they are selling at higher margins than other similar companies? Not to mention their huge expansion into services.

Why does Apple have to be good at AI? Why do all of these big tech companies have to have a play for everything?

I ran into something very similar in DC. They let me unlock a scooter that was in a 'no-go' zone and began billing me, however it wouldn't operate because I was in that zone. I ended up having to walk it over a mile to get it to function, while it was billing me the whole time.

So frustrating they even would let you unlock these in the first place. I'll never use it again.

I'm curious the size of the companies you've worked in, and what sort of support, legal, finance, etc requirements they've had. Companies aren't just made up of engineers.

I see this same comment on every single one of these layoff threads and they always seem to be a bit disconnected.
