Wouldn't be sure about that. Plenty of companies will catch up quickly especially ones like Palantir.

The whole food industry is based around carbs [especially here in US, where you have corn syrup even in meat]. The dietary recommendations in US are still based around eating low fat [0] instead of massively limiting carbs. However study af

gRPC is a great, but has a ton of small problems including a catastrophic documentation (in some cases we had to read byte code to figure out what to do). The biggest issue for us was however was that there is no middle server that could ha

We used RabbitMQ extensively for almost two years but the problems we were encountering along the way weren't worth it. We ended up talking to the dev team too often to solve catastrophic issues that took down our whole production for

We're using nats for synchronous communication, sending around 10k messages each second through it. Must say that the stability is great, even with larger payloads (over 10MB in size). We're running it in production for couple of

Have you ever looked at any proprietary solutions like Google's PubSub? We're running on PubSub for over year now and outside of some unplanned downtimes it's scaling very well. But as we're looking to branch out out of

1) Fair use is incredibly hard to identify, especially as the intent in the center of all of it. 2) This is easy once you go multi-site. We [0] are actually doing that across many sites. [0] https://pex.com

Thank you. Can't comment on their technology as I have no idea what are they using. Our service is very complex environment that consists of many different parts and pieces. We run at a huge scale (many thousands of servers) and indexe

I know you didn't ask for this, but I took the liberty to run the video you asked for through our data and here are the results [0]. As you can see, pretty decent amount of them found across many different sites. These results look muc

We're looking into this for couple of years now. We're doing some steady progress, but far from a final result. The problem is incredibly complex, because Fair Use doesn't have any quantifiable metrics that you can translate

Yeah, those are fun ones. We [0] are dealing with most of those. Here are some fun ones based on Shia LeBouf's green screen performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXsQAXx_ao0 - https://vk.com/video

Congratulations to the team on the release. It's exciting to see more companies entering the market. We built a similar service [0] although from the first look it seems we took a different path. Our approach is to crawl all videos and

Depends on the use case. For instance if you're mapping the data to database, you can't send null variables. Or you store the defaults (waste of space) or you send it as another type. In our case we've now over 1T of rows. St

1) Cap'n Proto doesn't encode/decode messages thus it's nuch cheaper for processing and memory management 2) protobuf in the proto3 design doesn't cary default values. So if you have a bool field and want to explici

As others pointed out, Canada recently made mandatory their eTA program which is very similar to US ESTA, so the differences are non-existent anymore. Original text: The number is huge. For instance the whole EU doesn't need visa for C

Some companies allow their employees to sell a portion of vested stocks whenever they're doing a new round. SpaceX is one of the top examples I know of. This is how they retain the top talent.

We do it. And I know of many startups that also followed Quora's example. Definitely not everybody does it, but also it's more than 0.

True. What I meant is that the servers are going to be terminated in 24 hours, even if they don't need the resources atm. AWS doesn't terminate them up until they don't need them. Also I personally find much easier to underst

We're processing videos, a lot of them. Roughly 34PB worth of data every month. Additionally we're running our search engine at top of it with couple of other services. You can check what we're up to here https://p

Spending on GCP is more predictable than on AWS. Also the general behavior is more predictable. For instance all pre-emptible instances are terminated in 24 hours. On AWS based on when they need the resources. I believe that whatever GCP do

My subjective opinion is that a reader would learn more from a person that went to discover a new topic and wrote down the steps and knowledge acquired along the way. The reader is essentially taking the same steps, learning the same things

I'm aware of the streaming replication. But the cost doubles immediately. Which in our case represents tens of thousands dollars every month. Now this is a tradeoff. Do I mind to fix some shards from time to time or burn salaries of 6
