I'm guessing you have 0 insight into how monopolies work.

I work in integrity (keeping bad stuff off the platform). My job is to reduce the harm Meta causes. So I'm at peace with myself. I don't think I could work in any other area of Met…

I also work at Meta. The chaos and instability is awful. But I think they could fire pretty much everyone and the ads business would still continue to grow at nearly the same rate.…

I work at Meta. 1) Work with top minds in ML 2) Money But I have enough money now and no amount of more money (that Meta could reasonably offer for my role) would make it worth sta…

A lot of money is moving into treasuries, which is causing the 10 yr yield to quickly drop below 4%. https://www.barrons.com/articles/10-year-treasury-yield-junk...

If building an app on a platform does not increase the networks effects of that platform, this will always be the outcome. Good platforms get more valuable with more apps: iOS, Win…

I put them in ziploc sandwich or snack bags. Keeps them from getting tangled, easy to see what each one is, and easy to rummage through.

I work for Meta. Do you have any examples of this on Meta platforms? (Facebook/Instagram?)

I owned zip folders for a while during the windows Vista days. I could have sworn the code was originally purchased, not written by someone at Microsoft. Honestly, it looked like i…

I'm currently self employed, but I just accepted a role in big tech. After 4 years I was able to set up my recruiting company to run without me, so I can earn about $300K-$500K per…

It's still strange to me to work in a field of computer science where we say things like "we're not exactly sure how these numbers (hyper parameters) affect the result, so just try…

You should answer the question...

In 2007 I worked in Office Labs at Microsoft. We explored the idea of creating presentations on an infinite canvas. It was pretty cool. It took inspiration from Seadragon. It was c…

Love the section "Valetudo is a garden" "But, at the end of the day, you must understand that it is still privately-owned. You’re on someone else’s property over which you have no …

Google is a data scraper. OpenAI is a data scraper. Pretty much every major company uses data obtained from a data scraper.

This is huge! I've had so many business ideas that I've killed at the idea stage because giving 30% of revenue to Apple or Google made it not viable. Might be time to revisit them.…

I didn't know there was such a thing. :) Might need to get him one for christmas.

Yes! Only happens on archive.is for me.

I've been introducing my 10yr old to Godot. He's been building games in Scratch for the past 6 months. He loves Scratch, but is also frustrated by it's limitations. I thought he'd …

That sounds like exactly what I was looking for. Impressive!

Let's say I'm building a CRM and I want to have an "industry" or "cities" table that is the same across all tenants. I want a copy of cities in each tenant for referential integrit…

Is there a mechanism for replicating shared/system data across tenants? Can I deploy into a specific AWS or GCP region?

Would your service work for this scenario? We charge $20K-$50K for our services after they are completed. (We do contingent recruiting.) Some customers ask if they can pay over tim…

It is not that expensive to set up a team of engineers to keep a product working for 10+ years. Microsoft had/has this. They called it "sustained engineering". They don't do any ne…
