Autofocus can be for anything - Phone cameras, Surveillance cameras, Drone missile targeting systems, etc.

This sounds like it will fall into the same "echo-chamber" problem platforms like Youtube fell into. Note that with the social-credit system, you are docked points if you are frien…

Would you have made the switch if it wasn't closer to family?

A lot can be learned working with average engineers. You shut yourself out of a lot of jobs by avoiding average and will be probably screwed if the "above-average" places consider …

"Any tech company" was probably an overstatement, companies like Apple and Google are much more grounded in valuation compared to companies like Amazon, which had a PE ratio of 85.…

There are many ways to rationalize a war though, sure you can't take over others' resources without outright destroying them, but if your goal was to simply wipe a competitor out a…

Learning a new language doesn't necessarily deepen the vertical bar if the language cannot really be used to improve productivity/innovation on top of an engineer's current toolset…

This is a good point, though for most people, valuable skills are often "dry" and undesirable like plumbing, so someone who was really passionate might've persevered on his own any…

But you could arguably get the same result working for a larger company, getting paid market rate for a 9-to-5, and putting in a few more hours at home working on open source or ma…

Does their data remain though? If it does then your data would still be in danger of hackers if said business got attacked, etc. Aren't businesses supposed to treat customer data a…

Wouldn't a breakup/decentralization of Google, or any American multinational for that matter, just hand Chinese tech giants a massive advantage since the Internet as it is now heav…

But not all customers need the new benefits and prefer Patreon for being quick, cheap and simple. It would actually be damaging to Patreon if they didn't grandfather and changed to…

Highly depends on the team. I've seen teams where most members are remote but most teams I've been on shun working-from-home regularly. That and most companies pay based off "cost …

It's insane how many really, really, good people we lose to tragedies like this... 9/11 took away one of the founders of Akamai(the CDN company). Even the recent 737 crash took awa…

It's a different framing but this frame hides a lot of crucial information like the fact this venture used venture capital (and probably VC connections too) and hired many employee…

There was this one guy who lost a valuable Twitter handle due to him using his custom domain email (via GoDaddy) as a login email.[0] I'd like to think imagine Google is better tha…

This might be a poor PR move for Unity in relation to game developers. Many will read it as a cash grab with more monetization shenanigans lurking on the horizon and decide to swit…

Top dogs will always try to stay top dog for as long as possible and they are willing. It is what people would naturally do even if the stage was a video game, or if they were figh…

Not to mention it sorta insulates us from the political shenanigans of that region. Especially true if you believe Iraq was "all about the oil."

Odds are everyone's nukes are poorly secured, not just the U.S.. So even if we manage to improve security, it only takes another side to lose their nukes to a not-so-cool-headed ac…

That line is taken out of context a lot - the Declaration of Independence does not try to assert that all humans are equal in ability, its main focus was to state that all humans h…
