The Boba Guys result is a real kick in the nuts. Using a shitty paperish straw for the environment but the core product being so high in these tests.

Cool. Rolling your own BI seems fraught with peril at most orgs where I imagine the buy vs build decision is always buy. How many PowerBI or Tableau seats do you need before rollin…

Did you buy the cards or lease the system?

I’m assuming this is visually just some racks in (probably) Azure data centers and is leased not owned.

Emad from Stability estimates this at 4M/month. https://twitter.com/emostaque/status/1668666509298745344

Tax payers end up fronting the bill for all this bad behavior :-/.

Good. Thank you. I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth here.

Really impressed with this. OpenAI has its foot on the gas!

There are tons of data brokers that get near real time user level location data from mobile apps (usually not from ‘name brand’ apps but from the long tail) and then sell this as a…

This definitely exists in the US as well. You can see a variety of caste discrimination lawsuits against tech companies.

Secondary sales and secondary sales rights generally impoverish the common engineer versus founders and exec management. It is extremely rare to find a scale-up that has had second…

CarPlay is an absolute must for me for Maps/GPS. No other system I’ve used comes close. (I haven’t driven a Tesla). Siri is also miles better than most in car voice systems includi…

I don’t think I got the word in question. What was it?

Apple’s tight-fisted control of browser engines on iOS leads to worse security and privacy for the whole platform.

I think similar to other situations e.g Starburst with Presto/Trino. There really are a limited number of devs pushing a long the core projects and a lot of people needing support.…

Awesome! Really excited for CH.

If you don’t need joins, you can filter, aggregate, and manipulate a table in SQL in Google sheets already using =QUERY().

This is a bizarrely misleading take from iOS 14 privacy labels. Use for ads optimization/measurement/targeting does not mean sharing with third parties for FB/IG or anyone who runs…

Databricks seems on a convergent evolution towards Snowflake, between the two of them I’d rather be starting at the position Snowflake is versus Databricks.

The CSAM numbers are presented awkwardly. The FB numbers suggest FB is way worse, but the FB and Twitter numbers are platform reported rather than externally identified. FB and Twi…

Are you using public/legit APIs for all these services? Seems like you might be at risk for TOS violation for at least a couple.

(Too paywalled didn’t read.) Not sure how they measured, but I’ve definitely been working weirder hours but probably less. In my personal experience having no commute was crossed w…
