Good question. Too many variables to predict what will happen: - The user base may not shrink, if they figure out how to build a competitor to TikTok. - Some of the new projects may bring more users - They can monetize WhatsApp

The market will be challenging because the big cloud players offer their version, but recently there were a few successful database companies: - MongoDB - Snowflake - Databricks These 3 are probably the biggest, but there are few others whi

My guess: Tibco has been owned by Vista for 6 or more years. They trust the management and they'll use them to reorg Citrix - reducing finance, HR and marketing expenses.

Tibco is owned by Private Equity, not VCs. Very different type of companies. VCs own a company on its way up, PE onws its way down. Some times a company is sold immediately from VCs to PE. In some rear occasions a company owned by PE can g

There are a few in the call with the analysts [1]. - Multiple references to the FSD. Promised FSD to be ready this year again. - Dojo may not be ready and not faster than a cluster of GPUs - Solar installations are dawn In general very posi

SHA256 uses "one way function" - "easy" to compute, but "hard" to reverse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function

Same thing in a private company. 45 days to get a server + approval from a VP depending on the cost.

I worked on both cloud computing and on premise project. Before cloud computing the risks were different: - much harder to scale. It was much more common to over provision and have machines and bandwidth being unused for years. - when we w

My comments are directed at the general performance of Video and Audio components. Zoom implements their own protocol which performs better than the WebRTC. Their codecs are also better optimized, on of the reasons being that VP8 lacks hard

Many people shame the startups for fake it until you make it, but IBM with Watson and Watson Health did exactly that for years and 'serious' analysts were predicting how their healthcare AI efforts will increase their revenue. Com

Thank you for the detailed answer. These are really interesting use cases, which I didn't think about. For the local government sessions, it seems that a webinar product is a better option.

I don't work for Zoom, so this will be my best guess. WebRTC supports VP8 and h264, but it really depends on the platform. h264 is not free and may not be available. The screen capture API will give them a video stream which they need

Genuinely curious: which are these areas where Zoom shouldn't be used?

a few comments from somebody who worked for many years for a competitor to Zoom. The article author complains about some relatively minor details but completely misses the big picture. I'm not going to talk about the availability and q

I don't think that the main problem is the regulation. The regulations are a side effect of how difficult and harmful these experiments could to humans. In the software business when a project fails we can just used a starting point fo

What is your conclusion from that video? He posted another one which is more balanced [1], but even in that video he pushes the usual bitcoin talking points like protection from inflation which don't make much sense when the underling

I don't think that a dealership in California will allow you to leave the lot without an insurance. You can't test drive it without a driving license too.

I have 2 personal projects, one in C++ about 90k line. The other one in JavaScript (ReactJS). The full rebuild of the JS projects takes longer than the C++ project.

The big difference is that Bulgaria has a currency board, which was agreed to with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. This was done to stabilize the exchange rate and the economy in 1997. The exchange rate has been fixed fo
