Except CNCF ecosystem looks more like open stack these days. A collection of software that half works together and eats up the majority of your time doing undifferentiated ops. Devs should be focusing on the business and growing business me

People beaten over the head with a progressive education is concerning. The leaders of today are the bigots of tomorrow. The future requires us to think for ourselves

Is there a country with balanced gender ratios in STEM employment? I wasn’t aware of such

It doesn’t help that politicians face as much hardship in removing old laws as adding a new one. Leading to us always creating laws and rarely removing them.

I’ve actually been suprised feminist aren’t pushing for this. It’d help their overall narrative. You have similar gender gaps in nursing as well.

“ Without teachers’ bias in favor of girls, the gender gap in choosing a science track would be 12.5% larger in favor of boys.” Does this not mean we have a gender bias towards females in STEM at the education level? If so it’d turn around

Which is not a concentration camp.

The us does not currently have a concentration camp. If they do please let us all know so we can put a stop to it. On the flip side. The CCP has been committing a genocide by UN standards and has previously admitted to organ harvesting.

The arm MacBooks will mean developing ARM code for your server is easier than x86. I highly suspect we’ll see a switch from intel to arm in the server space in next 5-10 years. The cloud vendors have so much to gain by building their own ar

Earthquake damage isn’t covered. And California has relatively dry mild weather. And we are talking about a 1.5 million dollar house in Bay Area being 1000 sqr ft with insurance rebuild cost of 300k+. Chance of needing a rebuild are very, v

Don’t forget owning a house the “cost” is mortgage INTEREST, property tax, and insurance premiums for owning. With interest rates at 3%, property tax fixed to track inflation for life thnx to prop 13, and California home insurance stupidly

I’d argue they didn’t face an existential threat. Causing the employees to stop focusing on the business. Same thing that brought down intel. Like intel (of the past). You can coast and the money will keep coming in. Up until it doesn’t.

Smaller companies with presto won’t get the same performance benefit. Snowflake & BigQuery get the ability to have multiple customers on a large cluster. It’d be cost prohibitive for a single smaller customer to have all that compute si

And a household pays a single rent. This means I’m average ppl can afford 6% increase to rent. Afford might be poor choice of word though

I actually think rent going down in sf will open up a lot of opportunities that wasn’t possible due to cost. So much culture left sf to Oakland due to cost. As SF rent gets cheaper, I suspect we’ll see art, food, and activism jobs come back

The USA does 5903 million metric tons of co2 annually [1] You’d need 1.5 million of these to remove just the USA’s yearly co2 emissions. [1] https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/inventory-us-greenhouse-gas...

I tried YouTube music. But it’s so repetitive and playlists are just the same songs I’ve listened to recently. I miss google play music and Spotify style discovery. Curious how you found Spotify to compare to YouTube music. As google play m

The best math professor I had was atrocious at teaching. If not down right abusive. Taught me how to ask the right questions. How to capture requirements and learn on my own. Top Universities aren’t their to teach. They are their to empower

Agreed. Been debating switching to Spotify. But not having ads on YouTube has been amazing.

Exactly. Pinterest still is holding onto existing sf office space. They are right that it probably doesn’t make sense to pay top dollar for this spot when other spaces in east bay, South Bay and Seattle are cheaper with access to same talen
