Many would. If you're not rich enough to be able to afford being jobless, risking getting fired over a simple task is a very hard decision to make.

I second the part about US startups. Compared to what Oracle delivers (really solid database clusters with everything enterprise customers need built in), their cost is actually not that high compared to other enterprise software. Especiall

I like that the engineer refused to do the job. The founder managed to get someone else to do it, but refreshing to see engineers stand up to bad business practices.

With CTEs, the optimizer won't execute the queries but create one optimized version. If you materialize them, execution times can be many magnitudes higher in cases you only end up using small parts of the queries.

Honest question for those who have worked at several software companies: What works best? The chart displayed with Google with lots of connections but also a lot of complexity, or the "traditional" Amazon chart?

Looks like they published some kind of a "master NOTAM" now with all important information to restart as soon as possible. https://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_otherdis.jsp?advn=31&adv_dat...

More modern systems are also down once in a while. With aviation it's just more visible because one system can affect a lot of people. I'm not sure when ATC systems (which I would count NOTAM to be one of) have last failed, I alwa

I never doubted that. The question is if they could've worked without a ground stop by having ATC give them all info.

by dx034 4y ago
The question is, how will ATC know? I'm not that familiar with their systems, but maybe they rely on them to get critical information?

That's still including margins of cloud vendors. OpenAI had Microsoft providing resources which could do that at much lower cost. It still won't be cheap but you'll be way below $5m if you buy hardware yourself, given that yo

The thing is, most Mercedes employees are over forty. So while news outlets might exaggerate, Mercedes doesn't really. They tend to only publish products when they're ready.

by dx034 4y ago
And Mercedes has been pumping huge amounts of money into it for at least a decade. They're just much more conservative than typical SV companies so they only publicly announce products when they're ready.

It's important to note that healthcare is much cheaper in Germany than in the US. In addition to that, compensation for injuries also tends to be much lower. That massively affects the costs of accidents.

It's legally possible but no car uses it. Mercedes might be the first but they're still limiting at lower speeds.

Even with cheap Solar, many regions will still need Gas or similar fuel for electricity and heat generation in winter. If that gas can be transported and used with existing infrastructure, that'd be a huge bonus. So there's defini

They said it's about kitchen/household items, so that doesn't seem to fit. Also I'd be surprised if that store got sales that high in a few weeks.

Of course they do. Their APIs are just way worse and documentation can be really bad as you have to connect to decades-old systems. But once it's up and running they will honor their agreement.

It's fine to stop learning at some point. But that's for when you're retired. As long as you still opt to work (and a congressman definitely had the option to retire), you also have to keep up with the world.
