Agree - I worked at one of the firms on the tech advisory side a decade ago. I do think some of the Big 4 realized they had lack of talent staying and have improved their working conditions. I was on the partner path there - but ultimately

I understand everything in the world to the deepest depth. Let me explain, because this is a bit of sarcasm. I realized after years of being a specialist, that deep knowledge can be hired for at a price much less than the cost of achieving

'Allow' and 'not enforce for motivated individuals' are very close together.

Is it absurd? My leap seems smaller and more logical than the alternative. The technical fact is that each of these features exist, and are used daily. A device which does not have a hardware cutoff switch, which you've allowed to list

I do have precedence in logic, right? Alexa/Siri/etc must listen for their voice cue prompts to activate, and discarding all other discussion. So I must trust that corporation would discard if not applicable. Without a hardware cu

Ha - nothing subversive or illegitimate! I'm an engineer ha. The effort cost is minimal (walking to another room) - the downside cost if I was wrong (data mining by a social app for ads) was worth it. Insurance companies analyze purcha

You are right on - the fact that I even needed to think about whether I should have to be concerned with it is where I was headed. Devices do listen to all sounds to listen for their "prompt" - how do I know what is actually disca

I wholly internalized that there was a real problem when I started taking my phone to other parts of the house, placing it in a drawer before returning and shutting the door to have an in person conversation with someone.

I think the term now in use is UAP - Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

1B Lines? And this is just from a "rails new" command. Had to for some levity.

Absolutely - fully agree.

People focus on the white privileged males.... ignoring that the U.S. is full of uneducated, broke, white males with little going for them. The country is like 70% white... so of course on a numerical basis you're going to come across

Totally agree with your perspective. I'm now on a lower difficulty - but still rewarding path - that can still scale over time.

ha ha ha ha ha. Ok. As a grizzled founder, who is becoming numb to the entitlement that is easy startups, easy funding, easy results. I know many founders - and they were broke, broke, broke (and went broke to bootstrap). This 'finding

OP Wow - nicely done. Amazing persistence that needs to be shared more. The founder's story is not uncommon of most actual successful startups I personally have observed. To those who have cush jobs, dream of startups - this is the rea

I apologize if it took it that way - was an early morning, no sleep day.

As an engineer speaking to someone who is clearly also an engineer - you're highly discounting the levered impact proper, high quality leadership makes on a business.

Thank you - I was wondering what a "Private Equity" file might look like...

Very true. The Blackberry "pearl" was amazing at the time.

by czbond 6y ago
Whew. If true, that is quite a fall pretty quickly from a world where they owned a lot of the market.

While I'm not discounting your assumption about limited quantum use cases for now, I'm going to suggest that when we think hard about a problem - we as humans usually don't see the true potentials of a technology. We usually

Broad statement, I don't agree with. Different personality types take wholly different things from the same content. I personally feel (and this may sound hubristic, but it isn't) is that the CompSci background raised me to a whol

by czbond 6y ago
A comment on the CompSci part. For me, the CompSci degree was the best part of my entire technology background. I loved the classes that stretched the mind: Automata, multiple algo classes, etc. The downside - is once I had exposure to thos

Possibly. I believe God is a programmer and systems architect who wrote algorithms that control the bits (quarks/muons/atoms) to run the Universe.

by czbond 6y ago
I disagree a bit. Because some autist can code and remember special case algorithms, doesn't mean they can have a conversation with people, convince them of ideas, or participate in the world. In this example, one can say "thank y

I'd suggest "most" is liberal. A few is more likely.... most corporates take it as an offense (someone may be fired, only the most enlightened of CISO's in progressive orgs treat it as anything but heresy). In SilVal - s

Props to you and your team for treating them fairly and knowing how to council in such a difficult position.
