Re: Slash spending and layoff employees

I'm sure you don't mind me covering for Will Godfrey, but as he already tried to put it;

People are most intelligent when hungry and a bit cold.

… which means, he already had a plenty breakfast, as obvious as it gets. ツ

The study he likely wanted to source:

»Always Gamble on an Empty Stomach: Hunger Is Associated with Advantageous Decision Making«, from 2014.

Source: National Library of Medicine · National Center of Biotechnology Information – PubMed Central (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/)

URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4207792/

The phenomenon is called ›Empty-Stomach Intelligence‹.

For instance, here's some article from 2006 from the NYT of it (https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/10/magazine/10section1C.t-1.html).

Re: Slash spending and layoff employees

As posted before, you likely mean that phenomenon nicknamed "Empty-Stomach Intelligence". See my post above.

Oh, and another thing, Qualcomm tells court: Apple handed Intel our chipping source code

Re: They already tried and failed to make this claim

> That's why Qualcomm wants to see Intel's source code - they want to go on a fishing expedition.

That's so laughable and hilariously stupid to even consider, it's a joke.

Who again dominates the market with superior GSM/UMTS/LTE/5G-modems again? Intel?

Then again, who hasn't finished any of their noncompetitive products in time when it comes to mobile modem-stuff? Qualcomm?! Or Intel?

As if Qualcomm needs ANY of Intel's lacklustre expertise to advance any further ...

See, you know Hanlon's razor?

„Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.“ — Robert J. Hanlon · Murphy's Law Book Two: More Reasons Why Things Go Wrong!

The thing is, I for one finds it betimes way more fitting if you turn that aphorism into some bon mot already – by twisting the meaning of it right around. Curiously enough, most matters are delivering way more precise findings by doing so.
