Buy the stock and enjoy the ride.
So you've seen the move "The Circle"? Complete transparency for everyone then?

I work in healthcare software and recently did a spike building a voice assistant for the EMR. We compared Google, AWS, Azure and Nuance's voice and intent recognition and Nuance blew all the others out of the water. When it comes to understanding medical terminology Nuance is way ahead of anything other providers have. Dragon has been around for 23 years and has been THE product for VR in the medical field for at le…
Dragon's actually been around since 1982 (39 years). Sad story about the founders, Janet and Jim Baker, though. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/15/business/goldman-sachs-an...

There is only one English "conversational" voice that I see ( which seems to be the best). Is there a way to make the others "conversational" if not, is Zoe the best example? Did you find any competing product that came close? Thank you
I’m referring to the speech to text product. What’s the Zoe thing?

At the time, there were only 3 comments on HN I could find. One of them was certainly questioning the decision: [1] But wmf was right on the money [2]: "Maybe Apple thinks they can outdo the Cortex". [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=171511 [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=171879

> Facebook's acquisition of Instagram? Google's acquisition of YouTube? Android? DoubleClick? Amazon's acquisition of Twitch? I could go on. These examples are not comparable to what the OP was saying, e.g AOL/Time-Warner, Compaq/HP are mergers of giants with lot of employees.
Ok fine. Here ya go: BoA/Merrill Lynch Shell/Royal Dutch Sanofi/Avantis Glaxo/SmithKline P&G/Gillette Roche/Genetech Exxon/Mobil Conoco/Philips Disney/Fox AT&T has had so many successful mergers that the government has basically had to split them up every time because it made them into a monopoly. Should I go on? EDIT: PS - DoubelClick in 2007 was considered "BIG". It had 1200 employees and was bought for $3.1B. Whic…

I don't know, I wouldn't welcome it either that's for sure. But the github acquisition went pretty OK so far. I don't think it will be disastrous. I'm referring to the various overtures between MS and Canonical lately, a lot of collaboration going on. https://pulse.microsoft.com/en/transform-en/na/fa2-canonical... I don't think it would be the end of desktop Linux but it would mean a focus away from the core principl…
Considering those collaborations with Microsoft, I've seen some reports of Microsoft wanting to change Windows so it's based on the Linux Kernel. Seems like a long shot but...
The issue with Windows is 30+ years of legacy cruft and APIs that are all bundled in, mostly in user-space. Needed for backward compatibility which how Microsoft won and keeps the “enterprise” market.

I remember people being flabbergasted by the price they paid for PA Semi. Dividing the price by the number of engineers seemed indeed ludicrous. And yet, here we are.

The iPhone’s magic was all about the software to me.
