I don't fully agree with arguments that Silicon Valley is full of America's current meritocratic elite scratching each other's backs. But I do think that tweet speaks to that argument. The board's responsibility to share

I think there's an interesting story to be told in how Winograd started with "pure AI" approaches to language understanding like SHRDLU, gave it up in frustration, and then helped to found the field of human-computer interact

Every decade or so I wonder what's up with that effort. Doug Lenat left Stanford and moved to Texas to focus on Cyc... and I always wonder when he'll return triumphantly to Silicon Valley with a "100% complete" knowledge

Thanks for making this point. "Cult" as a word is used so often that many folks can lose sight of how actual cults can be such a huge challenge for some individuals, as well as those people's former friends and family. More p

I'd be curious to hear if anyone can speak to how this compares to: - Citus columnar storage for Postgres, now owned by Microsoft - Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL compatibility layer - Timescale hypertables

I bought a Subaru car a few years ago and am now treated to their magazine in the mail every few months. It's pure "greenwashing": lots about hiking, camping, dogs, beer, arts and crafts... nothing about carbon emissions, exu

We use a nice SaaS service for time-tracking and invoicing called Harvest. I'm thinking of it, as when you go to delete an existing invoice, it has a similar prompt to this GitHub prompt. But instead of having you type in the org and r

They sure like their email at Google. At most other organizations, sensitive email chains would be open to discovery but would just end by saying "call me" :)

My own frustration is not with the overall product line names. My frustration is when specific options of each product line are discussed in relation to each together in documentation. Take the example of "GKE Ingress for HTTP(S) Load

Is there a single thing called Google Cloud Load Balancer? My understanding is that there are about half a dozen different managed load balancing services that all have very different operating characteristics. They all have very generic n

A fair amount of my own confusion with GCP's offerings comes from their decision not to use proper names for their services. AWS may have arbitrary names that don't follow any patterns, and Azure may have names that are grandiose,

Great to see a new option! Apigee and Mulesoft went "enterprise." AWS API Gateway and GCP Endpoints kind of stagnated. Seems like the only option for small and medium-sized SaaS businesses that want to sell access to APIs is to ro

After the big measles outbreak at Disneyland in 2014, California tightened school vaccination requirements: Senate Bill 277, passed in 2015, removed personal belief exemptions for mandated vaccinations. Senate Bill 276, passed in 2019, furt

Instead of pointing a finger at Facebook, I'd scoff at C++ and the way in which the language has grown where orgs build up their own utility libraries rather than depend on a standard library. That said, this is an issue for other lang

A few observations: - TikTok surpassing Google.com to place #1 - YouTube.com + Google.com still dominates - for all its traffic, Twitter looks like the odd one out in terms of actual returns as a business (profit, stock cap, etc)
