As an engineer and entrepreneur not residing in the US, the value for me here would be to get into the tech scene without having to be in SV meetups or other events, because it’s obviously very expensive and I’m very busy. The problem I see

These companies are selling finished products to other companies. Think ERP. SAP sells one too, and so does Microsoft I think. Oracle’s I assume uses oracle db, which will require separate licenses and support. So by the time Oracle cranks

Most consulting contracts (software, design, business, etc) have early cancellation clauses for customers that want to cancel for no good reason. Usually they specify how much they’d be refunded from the retainer at different stages of the

What is concerning is it seemed like money had dried up, people were laid off. But at the same time, there seems to be so much cash available for AI. If this is a bubble,it will be interesting to see CEOs come back again, in tune, and say &

I think clients are the least to worry about. They can be built by someone else if the need arises.

I love Tailscale, but this post gives me the creeps. The internet succeeded because it was built on standards and was completely free. With Tailscale, I get wireguard is open source and we have things like Headscale. But the whole everyone

I would say every company of a certain size or criticality should have a proper IT team. It does not even need to be large, but they need to have the expertise and authority to veto certain decisions. I often see vendor deals being made sol

I think the problem with DR in this case is you will need to account for every eventuality of every line of code in every sw product you use. Because say, how do you handle the case that your fleet BSODd? Usually you'd rebuild them usi

It’s much simpler. There is no actual floor, but you won’t be able to claim it if it displeases the owners. https://venturebeat.com/ai/a-chevy-for-1-car-dealer-chatbots...

Eventually, experience. Today, create ADDs (architecture design documents), where you describe functionalities, apis, db schemas, flows, etc and ask for your more senior colleagues for review. The ADD should also be estimated so you don&#x2

I think that is too much infrastructure for just a link. I think links are fine the way they are today. There are other problems with the web, but it's not links. Also, simetimes taking a look is the same as acting on it. Clicking on a

Hashes are not memorable. I can’t give my gramma a hash, but I can give her example.com/recipe123. If she trusts example.com, or me, she should be able to trust the content. If she does neither, a hash will not save her because she nee

Seems like something banks can handle locally no? Adding necessary metadata and limits? At least until it’s updated systemwide?

VR requires too much setup. I have a PS4, bought a used PSVR set and realized I needed a camera that I did not have. Realized instead of buying a camera, I could upgrade to a ps5 and buy the new headset that did not require a camera, bc I p

Costs, blindly following their reference architectures will get you lambdas everywhere and microsservices everywhere and other upsells that will cost you a lot. Also, do not use their WAF/CDN, again, costs.

Interesting solution. I wonder if it has any gotchas that would make customers more angry if something fails in a way that would not happen with pure copper. Anyway, I think this is a great solution and they should totally hire you.

The number of times I bumped by head against a desk, after missing multiple deadlines and then out of nowhere having a random moment of clarity such has “this gives me X vibes, but it would be insane if this was actually the case”, and then

Is it possible that we’re actually constantly oscillating in time, but we never notice because all of us, our atoms all go back in the same order they moved forward, so even our brain’s chemical processes and memories go back exactly the sa

Prices are not determined in a vacuum. Sellers price things as high as possible based on what they think buyers can afford. If buyers can afford more, sellers will find a way to absorb the extra liquidity in the market. We will end up where

Contrast this with SVB failing and uninsured accounts (over $250k) being made whole. Well, they were not insured so whatever FDIC did was an exception. But I don’t think Synapse customers were SV startups owned by VCs who can collude in cha

JPMC is not at the size where these hits matter. You should think of it as basically a government entity often with more power than many other govt entities.

We invented technology and methods to make things that are meant to be difficult, easy (like food, transportation, mating, surviving). So now we have to invent more technology and methods to find an equilibrium for the system that we broke
