A Sonos Community forum thread where people are voicing their complaints: https://en.community.sonos.com/product%2Dupdates/the%2Dnew%2...

I do find the new app bafflingly lacking in even simple UX things. It's currently not possible to reorganize the play queue, or add songs to it.

On a more funny note, the app complains about lack of bluetooth access every time it starts. The primary case for bluetooth is to add units to the system, so it's not something that should be needed on a day-to-day basis.

Well, there's one.com, which I believe is a fairly honest hosting provider.

On top of that, there's the Worldcom scandal.

FAANG is shorthand for Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google, not a specific tech stack.

Couldn't it be a simple test of whether the applicant had read the posting thoroughly? It's a quick filter to remove anyone who didn't manage to fulfill this no-effort criteria in their application.

A lot of applicants simply send their resumes to any position that is vaguely relevant, without diving into the details of the role.

A little bit like Van Halen's "Brown M&M clause": https://effectiviology.com/brown-mms/

This is way too simplified.

May as well be shutdown of a department or project, where everyone gets off-boarded. Believe a lot of the recent GOOG reductions included very senior people who just happened to be on low-priority projects.

They also seem to be going after Terraform Labs, which is an active legal entity in South Korea (Edit: Actually appears to be Singapore now). Impeding their current work on (I kid you not!) Terra 2.0 may still prevent a future ponzi meltdown.

I would say that it qualifies quite clearly as off-topic as described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Good question. I googled, and it may be "unregretted attrition rate," or URA, which represents the percentage of employees that managers aren't sad to see leave the company — whether they part ways voluntarily or otherwise.

> Only got to use it once though.

Expected the next sentence to state that you were now married, hence the "single-use".

What files are in the purchase package? Does it have a vector version of the logo? 1024 x 1024 resolution doesn't sound like a lot for a number of purposes, eg print.
