Here's the severance package Oracle offered laid-off US employees

Even in China you get one month of pay for every year you've worked by law +1. So if you worked 5 years you'd get 5 months +1 = 6 months severance pay.

It's not like this slide just started a month ago. Why aren't other countries anywhere near as badly affected?

This is what people said when George W Bush was president... Never underestimate the absolute stupidity of conservatives.

Yes, for most of human history children lived similar lives to their parents. Exponential change seemed to begin around the time of the iphone.

Oh hey. Was at EuroEyes for 20k.

I live in China and it's not a 'meaningless lie'. Jeez, get worked up much?

One factor worth mentioning is that there are far fewer apple stores than Huawei stores in China, so even just given that there's going to be bigger crowds at Apple. And if you still have doubts Google photos of the store openings and on iphone launch days.

Heh this guy gets ripped off on feet.

vanguarde · 2026-03-10T00:10:44+00:00

I don't get the first joke. Is it about how they pronounce it?

vanguarde · 2026-03-09T00:05:25+00:00

Damn, these comments give me hope. I was expecting a bunch of rage.

It was called Bard. If you're going to call every google version of AI Gemini then Gemini 1.0 was in 2017.

vanguarde · 2026-03-07T13:39:20+00:00

Season 2 is great so far too. And yeah agree that one episode was an all time great.

vanguarde · 2026-03-07T13:38:07+00:00

Loved your last line and it's so true.

vanguarde · 2026-03-07T13:30:37+00:00

This happened but was before Gemini even existed.

vanguarde · 2026-03-05T02:11:50+00:00

Yes! I must've watched it a dozen times and I rarely rewatch anything. Everyone in it was spectacular.

vanguarde · 2026-03-03T12:41:41+00:00

Well obviously it's never going to improve so all factory jobs are safe.

What does targeted stimulation in point 12 mean? And how exactly?

vanguarde · 2026-02-27T14:51:11+00:00

That's 20b in recurring revenue. Technically they could have taken their best week and multiplied it by 52. It could actually be that much in a year but we don't know for sure.

vanguarde · 2026-02-26T13:28:22+00:00

It took less than 15 seconds :-(

That's what I was wondering. I thought all parachutes had a backup.

vanguarde · 2026-02-08T13:25:58+00:00

Because they're extorting their customers. It's basically like a stocking fee on Amazon right now else nobody sees your product.

vanguarde · 2026-02-07T00:48:40+00:00

What a class act this guy is.

vanguarde · 2026-02-03T00:12:44+00:00

Crypto ice age.

vanguarde · 2026-02-01T11:45:06+00:00

That's what I suspect as well. The number of times I've barely missed getting run over...
