I see I was wrong. I am not making up fake data, I read the data wrong.

I got my numbers from a projection that also had them at 11BN revenue by now. The actual number for 2019 is 4.1BN. So yeah, Uber makes earns very little per engineer/product member compared to healthy companies. https://inve

I wonder if the CTO really "resigned" or was kicked out. Uber's engineering culture is well known for not thinking about costs early in development. Moreover, ignoring infra costs, the revenue per engineer is really low, it

Do people questioning the intentions of this move, have actual experience using Oracle cloud? It seems that people really eat the marketing that AWS/GCP/Azure are the best cloud provider for every single product. Oracle Cloud&#x27

Clearly Google sees your part of the world as a third rate market. You should treat their brand the same way. In the USA, the perception isn't of Google as a quality brand. More of an also-ran. PS: I love their cloud services. I just d

They look bad. What is up with the prominently carved "G"? They feel like they were designed by a truck manufacturer.

It's one more of those meaningless demonstrations of support that social media has generalized. Communicating that "we're all in this together" is as effective as a giving "like" to the Facebook page of a perso

I talk to the janitor that services our offices at a really high end space near the Moscone. No way dude, those poor people are contracted by a bigger firm, they lost all sources of income over a month ago.

As someone who had to implement GDPR for a DSP, that doesn't make the data PII.

I wasn’t able to achieve the same performance with RedShift aggregates, I tried that first before I decided to migrate from RedShift to Druid back in 2014. We deal with dozens of dimensions per event and no combination of distribution keys

The sample was 185 patients. There are anecdotal evidences that support the medicine which claim to have more, the letter came from a French doctor too. The study is discouraging for sure though.

Not all data warehouses are designed for OLAP. As the performance of these systems increase, it is possible to satisfy OLAP use cases with some warehouses such a BQ, but they are still not ideal as your number of concurrent queries scale an

by DevKoala 7y ago
We have negotiated a flat rate deal with Google and have access to a higher concurrent query limit than 100, and even then, it is not the right tool for my use case. BigQuery is also far more expensive. Our users expect responses in the mil

Filtering by partial string match on dimensions. It is equally slow on both of them. For straightforward filters and aggregations, yeah, Clickhouse is faster. However I read a PR by the Druid team where they added a vector engine. If they r

by DevKoala 7y ago
You are right about Clickhouse, but other data warehouses are not optimized for the same use case of Druid and Clickhouse, OLAP. For example, RedShift and BigQuery cannot be put behind a user facing backend. BigQuery has a default limit of

by DevKoala 7y ago
Druid and Clickhouse are OLAP systems. The key here is “online” as in they are optimized to answer queries in a matter of milliseconds. Maybe things have improved, but RedShift is not really an OLAP system. The last time I used RedShift was

I have gone from Druid to Clickhouse. At this point, I don't really know anymore.

There is a pattern here.

Not in this case. At work, we use AWS and GCP, everything that runs on top of Kubernetes is deployed on both clouds. If I isolate the number of service stopping incidents this year for that vertical, I can find 3 on GCP's side, and zer

Upvoted since I was going to make the same comment. I have been dealing with some downfall from that issue today. As a user of their cloud services, my perception of their reliability is pretty low compared to competitors. I still like GCP

Google cannot analyze your user traffic if they don't have a pixel on your site. What are they going to do? Look at your traffic logs? Designing a website that has traffic insights while respecting your visitor's privacy requires

by DevKoala 7y ago
Nothing is “free”. You are selling Google your visitor’s data so that they can let you take a peek at a subset of what they collect.

It is hard to measure the impact of either, but denying that it had have a negative effect is delusional. Only in my circle, I count two individuals who own property exclusively for the sake of renting it out on AirBnB. I have nothing again

When you write it like that, they sound generous. In reality, they tried to pass the hit for Coronavirus related cancellations to the hosts and then realized they were in for legal trouble if they followed through.

AirBnB being in trouble is great news for a lot of people in SF. I look forward to seeing one bedroom apartments back under $500k.

Rose tinted glasses IMHO. HN back then was a lot of “I re-implemented X in new front end framework Y”. Where Y was Meteor 89% of the time.

I would guess that there are more great apps published daily than ever before. The issue is probably discovery. Even if you build something great, you are competing for attention, and people who can pay for ads get the most attention.
