Same is true of tattoos. Having a tattoo at all used to be a signal of it's own somewhat regardless of what that tattoo was - not so much anymore

Can you elaborate a little on point 1? I also somewhat recently had an expensive ambulance ride in SF that I'm dealing with - Insurance told me it was out of network, but would negotiate down on my behalf. They were able to negotiate a

Your comment implies that Mark Zuckerberg has not run a business.

Correct - as mentioned the cost savings still work out. The defect rate is around 30% (Nowhere close to 1 in a million).

This is awesome - thank you! I went through a similar exercise described in your link in evaluating the utility of the tool I described above. This is a nice write up of the logic. In my case the % occurrence of the defect was very high and

Yup - To do a proper write-up that would actually be interesting to read would require divulging IP.

That's an interesting concern that I hadn't considered if I'm understanding you correctly. I'm imagining you could have a situation where a downstream process change helps mitigate the effect of the upstream defect. In t

Care to elaborate at all on those additional misgivings? One thing I could see is that the material might not be very mind-blowing to someone who already has a software background.

This is pretty spot on. We know why the defects happen and why they cause downstream test failures, but we lack the ability to prevent (all of) them. To clarify on that 95% value because it is admittedly really vague: That's actually a

Totally fair - I developed the tool for a product that won't be released until early next year so the cost savings are estimates based on expected production volumes. Its performance in a lower volume development environment has been c

I just started in UC Berkeley's MIDS program. My only two misgivings about the program thus far: It is 1) pretty expensive and 2) geared towards working professionals rather than academics, but my employer is helping pay for a good chu

I work in manufacturing. We have an acoustic microscope that scans parts with the goal of identifying internal defects (typically particulate trapped in epoxy bonds). It's pretty hard to define what size/shape/position/n
