It's the internet which means you're shown the one IC that worked but not the 20 that didn't... Just like a grad student paper! :)

If you're willing to go 10um then it's even easier and one can use a DLP to go maskless.

> What are better alternatives to LinkedIn, for people who want to get that rare serendipitous message from a recruiter?

The only one I know of is to have a personal social network of people who know you and are directly familiar with your work. Every rare serendipitous message from a recruiter I've received resulted from a referral from someone I directly knew.

But rare is probably the correct qualifier. I have 25 years experience, I've received four, followed up on two and only one resulted in me changing jobs. None came before I had 10 years of experience. YMMV

Wait, two men jousting on sheep!? How does that even work.

> Suing implies they think they shouldn't have been fired

Not necessarily. Unfortunately law suit as media event is a thing now.

I would think state level actors have enough tools to deal with this issue. If nothing else they could go the old fashioned way and just, you know, follow you.

Just out of curiosity, what was the fail rate for that rework?

I don't repair/upgrade iPhones or anything, and I'm an EE not a trained technician, but I do need to swap BGAs from time to time and my rework rate for 0.4mm pitch BGAs is not the best. It works say, 3 of 4 times. But compared to colleagues I'm pretty good. But that rate is way too low to run any kind of viable business, I would think.

In this situation you're doing literally the same rework over and over, which helps, and probably have equipment and stencils specific to the job, which helps.

So I'm curious what kind of success rate was achieved if you don't mind sharing.

> What features in Office are essential for those users that you don't get from Google?

Backward compatibility with existing documents that are already in Word. Also, for those knowledge workers who aren’t in tech, the high likelihood that the recipient can open the document with correct formatting.

Lots of reasons. Here are some: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-law-school-applicants-sho...
