And... no you won't. You make decisions that weren't your's to make.

Haha they clearly screwed up with hundreds of thousands of people watching a blank page. On Bloomberg they are already streaming it and it just took off.

Oh, is it better to have an entirely text-based service like a phone book? Surely that will help with retention.

This company has a shite hiring process. Ask you to submit pull request on github with answers to a challenge (and you can publicly view other people's answers as it is a public repo).

The answers were straight forward and I didn't pass. And I could see my answers were the same as other people submitting. Very odd company.

Hah. You can lose people hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets and because it is magic internet money and not real money, you are coding instead of in jail.
Re:8×8 has acquired the Jitsi team and technology from Atlassian on Friday November 09, 2018 @05:16AM (#18413499)
Yes, I've used them for the last year and their software is horrid and can barely be used to make phone calls without crashing frequently. Also, their support is quite crap.

That said, they pushed out an update about 3-4 months ago that improved stability a lot.

Re:Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash on Wednesday April 11, 2018 @05:24PM (#16815836)
I would argue that the people who can afford a Tesla are rich people and thus likely well educated and are safer drivers.

Poor people with bad cars, no education and unsafe driving practices probably have more accidents.

I don't think these stats mean much.

"99% of people survive and our software bug only drives a few people violently in to concrete barriers at seconds notice and decapitates them. It just so happens that your loved one is now dead but he shouldn't have used our product, as he knew it didn't work there. kthxbye"
Re:Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash on Wednesday April 11, 2018 @05:16PM (#16815752)
I totally agree. I am a massive fan of Tesla but this response is absolutely atrocious and disrespectful.

They refuse to acknowledge a bug in THEIR software which drove his car in to a concrete barrier and pin all the blame on him. Even so far as to tease him and ask why he would even use their product in that area (which Tesla allows).

It must feel so so so sad to have your loved one die and then to read this heartless BS from tesla.

Re:Tesla owner drives 452 miles on single charge on Wednesday August 26, 2015 @01:15AM (#10121193)
No. The Model S will break the car for regen purposes if you are in gear. So you will lose speed but get a tiny bit more energy added to the battery. It's better to just go into neutral because that whole process is inefficient.
