Its a startup. You will become fantastically rich as a founder/early employee if the startup takes over the world. You don't take over the world working a 9-5. People entering this…

You're comparing a living superstar to someone who has been dead for over 40 years.

You're still incorrect. Those are "assets", the term "agent" isn't formally used anywhere in the IC

It's significantly weakening one of the US's greatest geopolitical enemies for a small fraction of the US defense budget. Even if you don't care about the US's geopolitical aims an…

An absolutely disgusting response, to the point where I don't think you read the article or have a vested interest in preventing action. This isn't about "the US recognizing the ca…

I used to work at the Rochester LLE! I never worked on capacitor logistics, but I heard that it was a PITA to work with local utilities to get those on the grid (but nowhere near a…

The Google Distributed Cloud Hosted project is a non-borg port of GCP that could be run by anyone.

The mods have all the leverage. They’re literally volunteer workers, they can quit their duties with no real downsides.

That was true 5+ years ago, but these days I can easily name 20+ companies that pay roughly the same or more at the senior level. Half your compensation at FAANG is name recognitio…

USDS requires an SF86 now??

"Fun" fact: There is another common internal service at Microsoft called Cosmos, and it is also a database. So now there is Cosmos, Cosmos DB, and Kosmos.

Depends on the level of clearance you're going for. TS/SCI w/ Full-Scope Polygraph (the highest intelligence community level) covers the last 10 years, with a heavy emphasis on you…

1. Presidents only need to go through the Iowa caucuses once (baring exceptional circumstances where they get primaried) 2. The Iowa Caucus has a fairly low correlation with nomina…

I worked on government projects at Azure for years. Their US Government cloud is a second-class citizen. Getting the average engineer to care about problems with their their offeri…

What is this comment even supposed to mean in this context?

"Will the government ever allow something like that?" It's not that they won't allow it, its that its largely useless. The dollar is fungible. Who cares if a dollar spent on a new …

I think calling for banning of A/B testing is a bit of an overreaction, don’t you?

I’m a bit disappointed that an article which isn’t even publicly accessible is rising this quickly. It’s a dead giveaway for people voting without clicking…

Three is not all.

An invasion of Ukraine and a tanking of the Ruble was hardly an unforeseeable circumstance in late January.

I still miss your meme's from my Duke days! Glad to see you on HN

The airgapped clouds existed before the JEDI contract. There were, and still are, other DoD contracts, JEDI is just the largest of them
