Amazon's operating expenses are significantly larger than Google/FB.

THis means they've never earned a significant amount of cash net of operating expenses

They've also dumped a ton of money into capex, even still I don't think Amazon has ever gotten close to the retained earnings of any of the other four companies.

TBC, parts of Azure are now starting to migrate to pure linux on linux.
Isn't it clear from the article, like everyone else pointed out, that things going forward in Icaza's org are open? As in cloud and developer tools?

You're talking about older things.

I don't think you know how Electron apps work.

Slack and Microsoft Teams are both Electron apps. Web tech under the hood.

Mmmh, so I wonder why I know people with iMacs? This is precisely targeted at the cintiq + iMac market. The dGPU on this is roughly equivalent to the iMac.

So (449) dollar graphics card, the 1070 + (200) dollar cpu + Case (100) + memory (150) + psupply (70) + mobo (150) + hdd/ssd (150) + Wacom cintiq with Digitizer which is what 2500? + an sRGB monitor at 4k 800?

= 4-5000, with a shitty box and shitty experience and you get none of the engineering that went into the product.

Plz continue dreaming up dev boxes that only devs could love. Feel free to throw in some glowing cold cathode lights, too.

Okay, seriously. The iMac comes with a 395x mobile gpu. It's pretty comparable to the 980m. The 1070m and 1080m don't exist yet. If you guys actually knew more about hardware than nothing, maybe you'd realize that it's not possible to get a 1080m.

iMacs and Macbook Pros (top of the line 15-inch with dGPU) have always used mobile GPUs. Also, illustrators/designers don't need dGPUs. That's why the designers/illustrators at hte tech companies that you work at can use macbook 13 inch laptops and 15-inch laptops without the dGPUs

What would you expect appropriate bands to be, then? For tenured/non-tenured faculty?
I'd argue that Google Research (Jeff Dean) is still not what MSR is by reputation.
Do you know what MSR is? K, thnx please try again. Do you know who Leslie Lamport is?
