When I first recruited devs in latam 18 years ago, I posted job ads in the local newspaper, local job boards, etc. (I had no idea what I was doing tbh). I think today I would reach out to the professors at the local universities, many of wh

For anyone who has worked with a tech company based in Florida, this has been the norm for 15 years. It started with Buenos Aires/Argentina based devs in early 2000s and then clusters started popping up in Bogota, Mexico City, Santiago

There is an elderly gentleman (71) here in Miami Beach that has been running the same 8 mile run for 49 years now, every single day[0]. I think he's missed a few days over that span. It's both incredible and awe inspiring (and may

Why can't they put electric vans or buses in these tunnels? shuttling everyone in 4 person cars seems inefficient... Lay down a track, and they can be autonomous very easily (compared to relying on tesla self driving tech)

This is neat, have lots of questions about how sturdy the connections are between TEUs. Also How difficult is it for the captains and crew to pilot a ship like this? How much cargo capacity has to be forsaken for these to be installed? 20 T

As board member of various non-profits here's my advice on this: Contribute to a few OSS projects. Don't donate 5 hours to humane society of brooklyn or wherever you are based. That won't move the needle much for humane socie

Despite all the people in the comments here dragging this. I think its useful for both early career employees or investors to read lists like this. This gives people frameworks and lenses through which to better assess the companies they ar

from what I understand the tesla solar shingles aren't hurricane code compliant in Florida yet. So the thing would make the house uninsurable.

what about power generation at the charging site? i.e. solar on the roof of the charging station. Small scale hydrogen cells? Local battery storage on site so its not all simultaneously drawing from the grid? (I'm not an engineer, just

I am just glad this has nothing to do with Apple inc. I clicked thinking it would be some sort of app store thing. Long live honeycrisp!

I think that would only explain $4B or so, they said their hole was $10B. Or do we think the FTT leverage multiplied the exposure?

Why do people keep porting DOOM to different obsolete platforms or recreating it in Javascript? Is there some internal "cool" factor for doing this in super niche geeky dev communities?
