    Went to one of the unofficial hiring events by Ring in Sunnyvale, the mood seemed positive with all the leaders and many showed up primarily wanting to jump ship from a sham of an org called FireOS. But I don’t know much beyond that, new product category for amazon and they have unlimited budget I’ve been told..

      Nothing wrong with copying, as long it's done well.

      Amazon and Google has slightly different smart home strategies. Amazon will build as many devices as possible for the hime while also partnering with oems. Google only plans to build a few and let oems and the Android ecosystem do the rest, while concentrating more effort on making it smarter.

      Eventually most oems will have both Alexa and assistant on their device to get all customers. The differentiators will be smartness and taking it with you (phone). Amazon's edge is buying from Amazon.

    Twitch people seem to be happy. That’s my only experience with acquisition people
