The thing is these big companies don't really need a lot of great talent. They're fine skating by with masses of mediocre talent and a few great ones sprinkled in. So yes, they'll attract fewer great engineers, but it won&#x2

If it was 99.999% incredibly useful, the vast majority of stories would still be about the glaring failures. You can't draw any conclusions at all from that.

That's the key behind success with using something like Duolingo. Establish a daily habit with it and keep at it for very long streaks. The app is the tool to keep your habit intact.

The real problem is that each platform just doesn't have that much content. Everyone wants their own platform, and now the content is so fragmented that if you noped out of titles for very long you'd realize they have very little

The managers I enjoyed working for the most came up through the ranks and were better at my job than I was. But that was only maybe 25% of the time in the 20ish years I spent as an IC. The worst for me were the ones with no understanding of

There's only so much water in the well, though, and they might well be close to that limit. It's not an infinitely growable market, it's a niche product. True, the niche has gotten quite large in recent years, but at this poi

I saw this linked somewhere yesterday and bought an existing image of my neighborhood from late last year. Resolution is 0.75 meter. I'd describe it as notably worse than what's on Google Maps (which might be aerial survey), but s

Right after high school a friend of mine went into the military and needed a clearance for his assigned job on a nuclear missile submarine. Investigators came around and asked his friends back home about him, we all lied a little in his fav

Southwest and Disney continue to advertise on Twitter, so I assume they're satisfied with the tools in place.

The story I've heard is they're keys for OEM installations that are sold off without the hardware. So it's not legit by the terms of the license. On the flip side, I've known some to be used, and they never stopped worki

With a fraction of the people, they must only need a fraction of the space. Maybe it's some tactic to renegotiate the lease? Though that seems unlikely to work out.

There was a good indie film a while back, On The Ice, that I believe only had native peoples in it. It's a contemporary setting, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Ice

Tesla without Musk hype would be worth much less than it is even now.

It wasn't remotely ambiguous. People have lost their minds over Musk. It's not a good look.

I remember using some version of SABRE through CompuServe back in the day. All command line stuff over a dial-up modem, but it was novel and cool to be able to book your own flights with it. It would be very annoying to still be stuck on th

They're largely living off money from past films. Residuals help, but it's mostly the paychecks. Screenwriting is somewhat unusual, though, in that the official credits for a film don't always represent every writer who got p

From reading his timeline, it seems he felt major refactoring was the way to go, and it didn't seem like Musk was going to go for that. Wouldn't surprise me if he was right, but MuskTwitter doesn't have time to waste on refac
