While number of active users still grows, one have to ask a question, who is left on facebook aside from dopamine junkies and bots. The only reason why I didn’t delete facebook is …

We are hiring for remote engineering roles and are finding it increasingly difficult to assess candidate quality now that AI tools can assist with take-home tasks, online tests, an…

It is actually a common practice, if you want to terminate the lease, to stop paying and get evicted. However, they may still be liable to pay for the three or four months they use…

Totally. I don’t like narration around dividing between “poor” and “rich”. I rather see value providers vs nonvalue providers. A billionaire investing his capital in the business p…

I love it. It reminds me of a story. My friend who joined the Big Search Company as tech lead was asked to report progress in four places. He thought it was ridiculous. So instead,…

I wonder why they didn’t disable radar for a few weeks in existing cars before actually removing them form new cars. Probably Tesla will be able to patch it with software update. G…

You might want to check out the report below. It should be a good explainer for importance of zero knowledge in context of blockchain (a bit more in context of scaling than privacy…
