Thanks for sharing the second link. It's the first time seeing it an encapsulates my own philosophy on alerting well, while providing examples of what to alert on. I've been with t…

Let’s be real, ad tech is a shady business with Facebook leading the charge. This shouldn’t be surprising to any ad executive whose performance isn’t measured by actual dollars gen…

A very small percentage would actually buy one and it would be very good PR. It would almost be a marketing expense at that point.

In this case political tension has very little to do with China and very much with India. India is one of the largest markets Apple has yet to penetrate, primarily due to excessive…

Serious question: does McKinsey have a track record of success and what we see in the news is a small number of failures; or are they just really good at selling the C-Suite?

I don’t think this is possible. Even large corporations have code leaked (Microsoft and Google) as well as secret government entities that take extreme measures. Probably the most …

I don’t have much experience with other video editing software, but when I had to make some walkthroughs of new product features DaVinci got the job done and the result was fantast…

Interesting. In the article it mentions Fortune 500 CEOs having highly regulated schedules without downtime (because they are meeting with different stakeholders all the time). It …

Curious if this applies to people who do not have the same wealth and power.

What is the difference between this and “labs” set up by companies?

For stuff I don’t really care about meeting any sort of SLA.

In my experience the shifts that line up with childcare are given to those with children who express the need. A job that respects childcare is more likely to retain those employee…

Most likely depends on what you consider professional. Turns out the qualifications for watching other people’s children are almost enterally age base. Even then there’s wiggle roo…

How does this stop the next one? It’s not the first time Russia has done this — and they have done it in European countries.

I’ll throw my hat in the ring... I’m 100% self taught, and have a humanities degree. I’ve worked in global 500 companies, as well as YC startups. I consider my greatest strength to…

I work on part of this problem on my team at my job. How we are organized is specific teams do exactly what you describe. I work on data ingestion and getting it to a safe place as…

Don’t worry about that. One of the reasons I got really into STEM at a young age was because of educational programs. Started with Magic Schoolbus, graduated to Bill Nye and copiou…

A kid

A little of my background: I'm self taught with about 10 years of professional experience, worked for fortune 100 companies and startups. I've been both an IC and manager. I have n…

You need habits that reward your dopamine triggers in a sustainable way. Some people that's big projects being done and they can ride that high. Others need small tasks and a check…

Who says it's only meant for one?

What? I've done it on some sufficiently large code bases, and small ones, and it was done way faster then a rewrite. With tools like 2to3 you can assign it to an intern and have it…

It is way bigger then security, and hits upon quality of life and reliability. Without a deterministic build I don't know what I check in actually works across environment, or if t…

Probably because it's more complex then that. Time is worth zero unless someone is willing to pay you for it. So by saving something when someone is unwilling to pay you more then …
