Convoy like companies don't actually have capacity from my understanding: They are building a uber like platform to share extra capacity. <it is also funded by Bezos> So if Amazon is to build their own trucking-cloud, this is jus

I am super sure there is an acquisition of one of convoy et al by amazon very soon to build the AWS for trucking as well because they're going to have so much extra capacity in a matter of 2/3 years.

I would say work is a PQ of Queues - but overall sounds about right. As someone with a 25hrs/week meeting load, lists and lists of lists are pretty much my go to for keeping sanity!

One thing that I don't see much discussion on is a single income setup. My wife was employed when our daughter was born (oh lord 13 years ago) but we had hired help (this was in India - that was a very affordable option). Eventually sh

Let's say you bring up an issue about a bug in software you're working on. Let's also say you didn't cause it. But the moment you talk about it, I respond, 'didn't the code you wrote yesterday have a bug?'

I was 50-50 on the victim blaming comment to show up since this was HN and not reddit, lost that bet :) As much as blaming is wrong, I do believe in personal responsibility as well. I do not agree with the broad brush that's being used

I am probably missing something here - but, - who is scraping together their life on one hand and buying $800 gifts? - if you're really doing the above, why would you take a gamble instead of buying something currently available? IOW a

Startup or a big company - the deal you get coming in is probably going to be much bigger than anything you will get organically in the normal case. Growing inside the company is a very different deal compared to this and you have to work w

Just extending that line of reasoning, what about your organs powering someone who goes on to do such research?

Humans have specialized enough over time AND powers have become very entrenched. This agency you're talking about to improve the current system has reduced/disappeared over time because of that IMO. For example, Try as I might, I

Paul seems to write about obsession as something that can be cultivated. In my personal experience, this has been either a personality trait or extreme focus and hard work because of some expected reward. For me this article feels more like

We shouldn't fetishize control as much. In >15 years what I have seen is that OSS comes with a huge cost of attention - that you'd be better off focusing on your business need. Running most of these OSS even at a medium employe

Sorry I haven't looked through that site or even understood the plan - can someone summarize how the valuation is done? Will there be money back or credit if the valuation drops the next year? Also IIUC This seems to be a number that n

I switched to an unihertz atom and couldn't be happier. It is too painful to use normally - but you can indeed use if absolutely necessary. Has been a godsend.

A few points Re speaking your mind: - Talking is an incomplete way capturing your thoughts. (Gets progressively worse with videos / phone calls / emails / telegrams ...). You will never capture all you're thinking in a f

Ok -I mixed up some GCP terms with AWS ones then: At least in GCP you can 'reserve' stuff that you want to use and pay for the ones you actually use. I am assuming they cap the reserve - I am yet to run into a situation where the

I definitely agree - luck runs out faster than money when you're poor. Or the chances will be to secure basics rather than your future.

Right - that is moving the goal posts though: This was talking about being in the top x% of the rich. If you don't keep working at it, you will drop off that list pretty quick. It is pretty much a slippery slope when you don't kno

That's focusing on a small % of rich. Even to keep among the 'rich' list assuming you inherited it all takes enormous talent because money inflates away. There may be a bigger incidence of luck (I am not sure of this either b

I am guessing this isn't what you wanna hear but, They don't do a post hoc calculation. It is usually the salary + stock award that will vest over 4 years. For most companies with a flat vest, the total will come to 500k/yr f

I am probably missing something here: If I understand what you're calling a blue/green deploy correct, you essentially want the ability to run 2x capacity for at least a little time (deploy time). So why wouldn't you reserve

I would highly suggest vegetarian food seekers to try out cuisines that have worked out vegetarian options over time (Indian / Thai) rather than the options that try to substitute a green salad. I also have a HUGE resistance for stuff

I have always been curious about this: Are you for real saying you can take an "You're an idiot" comment with the same equanimity as the 300 word option? Email/Forums etc already loses a ton of context. Merge that with s

You should try tasting distilled water and see for yourself if water is tasteless :). The tastelessness makes it pretty hard to drink. Pure water is tasteless - the one we drink has a bunch of stuff.

Thanks! Let me also preface this a bit: I built that 5 years ago :). I've been out of AWS (in snap) for the past 4 years. So I will have to wait on the current owners to answer this. But last I checked, - faceted streams wasn't in

Sweet - I built the streams feature in DynamoDB (well tech lead). Awesome to see it on HN!
