Come back in 5 years and let us know if that's still your opinion. Maybe you'll get lucky, but most people aren't.

We must not use the same 24th and Mission BART stop. IMHO 24th and 16th stops are disgusting . I use them both often but I'm never happy to.

It definitely still happens; one group I recently worked in at Google used LOC and CL (pull requests) counts as a metric during calibration. One engineer I worked with got his code review count up by becoming a well-known rubber stamp, and

Ditto. First time I reported it but never heard anything back from the police. Second time I didn't even bother.

It's personal preference but (to pick an example) many other large cities in the US have both lower crime and lower cost of living. For some folks those attributes weigh heavily in the mix of things they think make a city "good&qu

You write that you currently work full time at Microsoft, a company with a large developer tools division that actively develops several language compilers. Have you reached out to managers in those groups to learn if they have (or could cr

The network doesn't exist in a vacuum and that 17EiB isn't free. People had to buy real hard drives using dollars (or whatever) and they have ongoing opex to keep them spinning and connected to the network. Those dollars come from

> many orders of magnitude cheaper than anything else out there How does this work? Are other providers earning many orders of magnitude in profit, or are filecoin's storage costs being subsidized somehow?

Sure; until a company that actually understands this stuff comes along and eats that company's lunch. In the long run, reality eventually wins.

In fact, you want the dismiss button to be easily discovered and used. Dismissals are an important signal about the quality of the content; just as important as clicks. When you make the button impossible to use you rob yourself of that s

I used to work at YouTube so can speak to that; I assume the other high-value properties are similar. YouTube runs many geographically distributed datacenters and can each more-or-less independently serve user requests; there's also su

By that logic, all fiber is "dark fiber". :) As I recall, "dark fiber" came into use after the dotcom bust left lots of overbuilt and unused network infrastructure around that companies could buy up for years after for

Ditto. I left Google in January, extremely burned out after 7 years. I'm taking some time off to let that settle down and to rediscover my love of software. It's coming back, but slowly. I find myself in a similar boat to the post

That's still an improvement, IMHO. And the degree to which you get bitten by the same problems depends on the size and culture of the company you're joining. Small, agile (usually young) companies tend to be better in this regard

Right; the point is that rent did not universally increase.

I think making that sort of thing illegal raises a lot of thorny free speech and press freedom issues; a related and perhaps more approachable question might be: should it be considered journalistically unethical to produce such a headlin
