    Depending on your use case, there is a way to proxy gRPC to Cloud Run in a slightly hacky way leveraging the fact that outbound gRPC works. You can run in GCE a gRPC server that wh…

    Here's my attempt at a summary. Wolfram speculates that the universe is a network of nodes and connections. This network changes over time by simple substitution rules. Specific pa…

    pg's argument is that if the average performance of one admitted group is better than the other the admission process has a bias. This example shows that you can have an unbiased p…

    I think I have a simpler counterexample to disprove pg's hypothesis than any other counterexample I've read in the comments. Suppose our goal is to admit the top 5 applicants with …

    I have no first hand knowledge of this, so I'm probably wrong. Maybe it's more accurate to say that the late stage investments are driving valuations up (ie the a16z analysis). But…
