I wasn't considering performance based bonuses. Either way, the company hopefully has a bonus policy that is at least enforced by HR when it comes to cutting checks. Either way - I think you may have misinterpreted my remarks about HR.

I feel good managers often delegate the decision making power to the group or team leads. This creates scale for the manager, and allows room for the development teams to develop leaders and judgement. Companies that are set up well also gi

Yeah, a lot of people make the mistake on what type of company it is. For instance, a lot of non-software companies may pay more and provide a director or executive level title to a developer and give them a team just to get them in the doo

Yup. It's likely the "fellow" or "principal" position. The technical impact crosses teams and organizations, and can reach outside of VPs as well. Especially if you are writing software "the entire company depe

Yeah, if your entire product's strategy relies on someone elses platform and you don't have multiple income streams, or ways to acquire customers, you'll be exposed to these sorts of things. I wonder how big Spotify's an

So much conversation and not a single reference to App Annie? Look at the data yourselves.

Simple contracts then are only as scalable, reliable, and secure as the code that runs off the blockchain. Arguably, that defeats the whole purpose because it is then who controls the code (since it is no longer decentralized), controls the

Puzzles and Dragons makes money from monster eggs and other power ups. If you can supe up your monsters, you have no need to pay them. It's copyright because they see the ability to update monster stats as proprietary technology. Only

Fair enough. I suppose as long as there are mainstream high quality non-digital alternatives then we should take those. I agree nothing I have digital rights to is "owned" by me. It's not like asking "ah don't like

I took this specific quote as killing yourself is the most merciful thing you could do for others. Dark indeed.

Pretty much this. Like Uber's unique problem is master-master replication?

In the grander scheme of things, that's scale and concurrency. Nothing about the code is particularly novel or difficult.

I too believe there is some meat on the bones of psychological egoism [1], the thought that altruism in its most purest sense doesn't really exist, because there is personal benefit (feeling good) to being altruistic. [1] https:/

I disagree its a solution looking for a problem. The problem is most internet/computing usage is done on mobile. Increasingly, this information is inside of Apps. This makes Google's search results less and less effective overtime

I still buy Blu Ray box sets. I own the shit out of those, and can watch Indiana Jones when the power is out as long as my generator is running.

Interesting. I wonder how this starts competition between Facebook and Twitch. Twitch is a form of community and social network, so is Facebook trying to compete for this attention? My guess is yes.

If anything, I get a little chuckle when I see this stuff. I'm sure we've all been there trying to make things clearer for the user. That said, I'm more concerned with the fact that I can't go to any web page these days
