I mean sure, but in a practical sense the company becoming the only seller of gasoline happened through anti-competitive behavior and not just because they have a superior gasoline…

I think mileage varies man. You get a good probation officer and can basically do as you please. You get a crappy one and they show up randomly everywhere. It also depends on if yo…

As someone who has consistently worked out 3 to 4 time a week for many years I believe and of course have heard many people speak to all the positive effects of exercise. I think w…

I think you are looking at this from the consumer side, and I completely agree with you. Consumers are probably none the wiser on the original intended region of their phone and sh…

Thanks for sharing I'm definitely going to read into it a bit, and I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about South American economics nor have I spent a lot of time there.…

The manufacturers have contractual agreements with certain carriers in specific regions and get reduced rates because of the purchase power of those markets. It's not ethical in my…

This is from about 10 years ago. So the carrier apis were a little different then, but the answer is both were necessary to update depending on the test or in this case carrier.

I worked for a start-up that was struggling for money. The CEO had a bunch of relationships with small carriers in the US. One day he asked me to create a program that rooted a spe…

From my understanding they don't dogfood a lot of gcp products internally. That's how you end up with janky integrations between their products. It's really frustrating at times to…

I feel like the Wall Street Journal has been pretty balanced on the FTC's case in regards to the MSFT/ATVI acquisition. They have noted Lina Kahn's strategy and how it is meant to …

I'm actually impressed that this OS patch strategy didn't cause more outages over the years. It seems like there was no health check before starting more restarts. I'm also surpris…

The point of the lawsuit seems to be to create case law that would influence standards and/or a requirements for automotive security features.

It was surprising to me, but my kids like going into retro toy stores and getting things more than getting newer stuff. Some things can be more expensive but generally these places…

> 1. Make it work 2. Make it good 3. Make it fast Anecdotally, everytime someone tells me Kubernetes is overkill and then follows your approach. In a year they end up building the …

I agree with you, but I think a passive voice is used correctly in that sentence you are referencing. It puts the emphasis on the impacted employees and then goes on to speak to th…

I think this is just a matter of opinion. When something severe happens it's natural to not use the most harsh term to describe the event. It doesn't seems like something malicious…

I think structured interviews can be just as easily biased as unbiased. I'm not disagreeing necessarily about being structured with your interview practices, but I find this to be …

Do you see how playing this game of writing iterative tests would actually provude slower learnings than prototyping a call to an API and receiving a result that would inform a ser…

I see what your saying in regard to me trying to appeal to emotion by using a topic like abortion. However, my intent in the example was/is that emotions are high in these topics a…

There are a bunch of weak arguments here. > How would we feel if aliens stopped the mass extinction events that led to our existence? This statement is just appealing to emotion an…

Staff has negative value when demand growth doesn't meet a companies forecasts. You are right there should always be positive output from staff, but it doesn't mean that there is a…

In general layoffs especially when they are proactive, which in this case they seem to be, show investors that the company is being fiscally responsible. This isn't an indication t…

We didn't have much tooling outside of typical things you would find in a Linux distro. It started with trying to isolate a node having issues. Then looking at at application and k…

Agreed, one of the craziest bugs I had to deal with was we had a distributed system using lots of infrastructure. Said distributed system started having trouble communicating with …

Obviously you are correct in that the Fed doesn't print money. That does seem like a misconception. However, they do make money more available by lowering interest rates and QE. Th…
