how about researchers making less than jr dev barely out of school?
How to configure WebPack is worth more than how to compute a Z transform, apparently.

Same here. I can imagine Boston Dynamics stepping into arbitrary dangerous situations ranging from construction to rescue to military to mining to anything else. Slack's tech moat is minor, network effects are not considerable (not enough companies using slack to connect to third parties) and Microsoft is destroying them.
They've been trying to sell their robots to all of those customers for years, but they're still way too expensive for the benefit. As I see it, they're a very risky venture with their value mostly being in a hypothetical bright future.

Feels like we said this about previous buyers. All I'm seeing is another sucker to keep the money rolling for more of these sweet viral robot demos that never seem to materialize into much of anything.
