Apparently for a while their internal tech org was a number of fiefdoms with huge number of contractors and no central vision. They have changed that post-bankruptcy, bringing in s…

I dont have the source at hand, but soviets also preffered republicans to the left, since they could always make a dral with republicans while the lwft was too ideological.

Well, a good question is what are you offering the senior applicants, other than (hopefully competitive) money for their time. Are there interesting problems to solve? Is there pot…

You defer to the tv ratings and PR campaigns to define ‘civilization’.

To further add detail, the un resolution is focused sqarely on kelbajar region, which in any negotiation logic (madrid, kazan, etc) was slated to return to Azerbajan once the statu…

Please stop spreading propaganda. The khojali massacre has not been confirmed anywhere but azerbajani sources. In the meanwhile please refer to bombing of stepanakert with cluster …

Judt start doing it in your current role. Be the person who sees the end to end, knows how to deliver it, and show others how to do it. The person writing tickets probably is tired…

My partner and I capitalized on dropping rents and just moved into a large 1br with amazing views and garage in SF, for a marginal increase in rent. I am hoping that with tech movi…

I remember an article which was saying that a lot of startups are just solving problems for the 'millenials' that their moms used to solve. Laundry, making food, making appointment…

MapR is great while you are in their ecosystem - once you step outside and try to bring in technology thats not supported by them, you run into little showstopper bugs and complete…

Its still there - storage is still mainly HDFS, but computation layer morphed into Spark on Yarn (Mesos as a scheduler is barely used). Barely anyone runs classic Mapreduce jobs, S…

0:51 in that talk. Though it doesnt mention arecibo specifically(i might have mis-remebered it) its still a fun thought.

There was a talk by Steve Blank where he was explaining US investment into radio astronomy(arecibo for example) by military projects aiming to establish the signatures and order of…

Looks like another "cherry-pick your customer" fin-tech startup. They do extremely well in the first stages of growth, but exhaust the potential market pretty fast and then go into…

Thank you for writing this - there is so much empathy in this.

Welcome to your Saturn Return. While its a random astrology term, alot of us feel exactly the same way at the later end of 20s. Time to break the routine and reinvent yourself. Thi…
