At least you got quite the story out of it, how did you find out that it was the capitalization (also: what is the standard, now I’m doubly-curious)? Chalking that up to growing pains is quite big of you. That’s a monumental multi-person sc

Yeah, but Kevin McCarthy isn’t out to actually regulate anyone. He’s just paying tribute to His Orangeness, and maybe offering some red meat to republican voters, before he loses his position in a few months. This is a risk free move, given

That might not be the best strategy if you’re only compensated for wins. I could see a lot of downsides though — only going after slam dunk cases, hyper-focus on biggest potential payout cases, etc.

I feel like you could just pay higher salaries with the same effect (and maybe less of the downsides of incentive structuring). But I agree on the premise, the revolving door exists because of wildly different compensation levels for the sa

Web developers often don’t have a choice whether to ship bullshit or not. Hell, engineering managers and directors often probably don’t have this choice. The single greatest feature of AMP (which I dislike with great passion, don’t get me w

"We have built a lot of technology to assess whether or not we think a review is authentic” Really now? Has amazon considered firing those teams? Because that tech is beyond broken.

Quicksight ( https://aws.amazon.com/quicksight/ )? There are some other 3rd party sources that can utilize athena querying like ChartIO and Looker as well.

No, the Great Depression lasted 10 years, from 1929 to 1939 officially (and, for instance, the djia took until the 1950s to recover to the bull market levels that preceded the Great Depression).

Respectfully, I disagree. If you use the services listed in the article, you're not really talking about that many more components than you're going to run on your own box. You've got a DB (dynamodb), an app server (lambda)

Yeah $5 for a single point of failure in one data center of possibly questionable quality. Versus 20 a month for an app spread across availability zones for the all-in price, resilient to failure on single machines, etc. A single downtime e

That sounds exactly like financial debt to me. Too much (financial or technical debt) is an anchor, healthy amounts of debt result in not being able to do everything / having some limitations but overall you're in a good place, a

Huh I didn’t know about the stock angle. Apparently it was a purchase agreement since they were pre-IPO, not a giveaway. So he got some pre-ipo financing and a look at great research tech. Very cool deal, thanks for the pointer.

Why the mouse? That was a holdover from Steve’s time at Apple, which was famously “borrowed” from Xerox PARC. Unless next did something special with the mouse that I’m unaware of.

Take home assignments, discussions about work history, problem solving at an architectural level, the list goes on. Programming to algorithms in a live interview setting is about the least realistic way to gauge real job aptitude. Tons of t

I agree with the manufactured bit, but given that generations are fluid, and alternative policies exist for realigning bad tax policy (inheritance tax), i fail to see any kind of grand problem. SS in the US will run up to a 10 trillion do

Amen. You have to compare assets vs debt, and then you have to compare asset growth projections vs debt growth projections, as any responsible finance thinking would go. Even then US debt provides a market function, so debt on a governmenta
