Do builds go through stage role out? For service like Cloudflare.


So many crypto sites are down. Coinbase WazirX CoinmarketCap


Also WorldCoinIndex.


I was surprised, Hangout chat self declares "Gmail is down".

Usually you would expect "not reachable" or something similar. It is like server is returning error msg to client that service is down.


Probably never thought such a thing would happen.


We could put some use to your tech experience, if you are okay to relocate to India & completely open to fresh new start. if so send me a mail at sid@justunfollow.com http://justunfollow.com

This sums up why we use internet.


That's not really true. Look at "grinding" in MMOs. I don't think people enjoy the process of grinding, just the end result (some virtual coins or whatever). It's really a Pavlovian brain hack.


Its great, Why do I feel 7.2B is very low?

The acquisition includes distribution channels around the world, factories, devices, R&D and softwares including google maps replacement Nokia Here, which in my opinion very good too.

When we compare this to a software starup Tumblr with 1.2B this seems very less. I could be wrong and missing something big.


Nokia has lots of debt too, which makes It cheaper


Correct me if I'm wrong, but Microsoft is buying only Nokia's devices & services business, and debt will stay in Nokia. I tried to find any mention of the debt in official press release documents but I couldn't.

> Nokia has lots of debt too, which makes It cheaper

No.

Nokia has a net cash position of about €2 billion. (Was €4 billion before buying out the Siemens half of NSN.)

No debt is being assumed in this deal, and no cash is going along for the ride to Microsoft.

In any case, debt makes a deal more expensive if it is being assumed -- not cheaper. If it stays with the original company, then it has no effect on deal price.


I agree with this.

I switched to windows 8 from Android and suddenly I realised this is underrated. OS is well build but suffers a lot because of perception. Apps are limited of course but there is a great potential.

A developer build a cool Instagram client for windows phone called 6tag. In 1-2days he got 2 million downloads, not to mention you have to pay to remove ads & upload more than 1 video. The ux is really cool too.


The original logo reflected fonts from early 2000 and the new one is light weight font,Microsoft started using it few years back before Apple adopted it.


Exactly.


Nice idea, I am also submitting our new launched app http://justprecious.net
