a coworker of mine got one of the prior models of samsung flip and the mechanism jammed such that it now won’t fully open. max it will go is like 5 or 10 degrees shy of flat.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
i definitely want something like this and perhaps apple will one day be able to put one out that doesn't suck; i'd really go for an ipad mini that i can fold and slip into my pockets

but until / unless that day comes

i remain,

2009 was the year of the Motorola droid for me. a couple weeks in and it deleted all my text messages. a year or so in it would freeze when anyone called, making the phone ring until I pulled the battery. a year and a half in and the top half of the touch screen stopped working. a bit later I lost it in a bar and I was glad to be rid of it.

google was supposed to have had the most talented software developers who could pass their hyped iq test, knew all the craziest algorithms, and that was the result.

I had one of those loathsome things too. It was pretty great though because it had a real GPS chip in it two years before any iPhone did

they’ve put it all into optimizing projects for RSUs and personal compensation so more time can be spent doing “interesting” things like reinventing programming languages, package managers and other “algorithmically interesting” problems

this is correct but misses the bigger picture. they’ve optimized Google itself into a host for projects designed for this exact purpose. essentially there is the money making company (ads, search, youtub), and then there’s a parasitic organization whose purpose is to accomplish nothing other than to spin up perf-oriented projects for the benefit of their team members.
