Wow. So your great-great-grandparents moved to America, killed most of the local population and now you think you own the place? The USA is made of immigrants. The sad thing is, those with the most options, who pay the most taxes, will do j

If punch cards were 160 columns wide, we'd all be enforcing that as the maximum line width. It's arbitrary. I typically go with 'about 1/3 of my screen width' so I can develop in multiple windows without horizontall

The solution is not to try to disrupt the main product but to artificially compete with it. Google could release a new, unbranded browser with all the experimental features. Early adopters would flock to it, the comfortable majority would h

I presume every business who doesn't run all their services on their own servers inside their own building is also just a billing dispute away from downtime. And even then if you don't pay your bandwidth bill you'll still go

Fascinating. I found a bug in Stripe's python client a while back. They acknowledged and fixed it in less than a week. From a technical perspective Stripe 'just works' in a way that all SaaS vendors could learn from.

You haven't seen precision until you've tried an induction stove. Instant heat, almost no residual temperature (they heat the metal of the pan directly rather than firing radiation / hot air at them) and super easy to clean.

I got pinged by Google about a year ago (after being narrowly rejected 9 years ago) asking if I'd be interested in re-applying. I said, "Sure, why not?". I was immediately asked which department I wanted to join and why. I sa

Feels like how things might have been when home electricity was first becoming pervasive. Lots of dubious devices and a laisez-faire approach to eg. electrocution risks and fire hazards. After enough public outcry regulation is introduced,

I sat next to someone who worked for a well-known company on a plane on the way back from re:invent last year. They were ripping out Oracle and switching to AWS with extreme prejudice after one too many 'guilty-until-proven-innocent&#x

If they provided an identical quality of service with 25 employees for $2m nobody would bat an eye. I'd say the fact that the team is so lean is justification for higher salaries in and of itself.

I think most firms that tried it have since scrapped it. It turns out to be about as effective as firing a random 10% and promoting another random 10% of staff. Consider: a project is floundering. You put your best engineers on it to try an

By that logic productivity in all industries could be improved by introducing flogging / periodic executions of lowest performing staff. What's more likely: someone takes a risk knowing that if they fail their kids won't be h
