Where are the young companies trying to replace them? There are all the AI companies, but Google and Meta both have competitive chatbots, and OpenAI is signing weird deals that don't make it look like a long-term player.

I don't understand how no one's brought a racketeering suit against them. > You wouldn't want someone looking for your website to find your competitor instead. For a small fee, I can make sure that doesn't happen.

I understand how the US and EU have different electrical outlets, voltages and frequencies. The systems developed independently, standardized on compatible versions locally, and standardizing globally would be very expensive and almost impo

People like to say "big tech sells their data." This is actually rare. Almost every other company you deal with willing gives it to big tech, and they just hoard it and run ads with it.

> Why do you assume it's a drag for them and not a competitive advantage? Because despite them being very open about it, no one else does it, and every distinguished engineer who pushes a weird tech choice will justify and defend it

I know Jane Street love OCaml, but you have to wonder how much it's cost them in velocity and maintenance. This is a quant firm blogging about a programming language they're the most famous user of.

Whether or not it's efficient isn't as much of a concern as if it's being gamed. Reports of growing university administrations, increase in the cost of an education, and biases in the publish-or-perish model show the old mode

She shouldn't have signed the nondisparagement agreement when she had juicy material for a book. These are usually a severance thing and not a term of employment. Some employers are extra clever and make the contract secret and the arb

Between his fashion accessories and Joe Rogan appearance, I'm convinced he hasn't. Five years ago, Cheryl Sandberg would call him on it. Today, he's surrounded by yes men.

I want to get enough time at $MEGACORP to have FU money. After that, my fear is a lot of smaller companies are working on thing even more boring, but with less scale. Gluing a domain-specific API to a few LLMs sounds boring. I got into tech

True! But it's crazy that the risk, successful startup didn't even beat established tech for returns.

I was a hired early to a startup (my hiring manager was the CEO) that's now public and worth $10B+ that you've heard of. It took them over 10 years to go public, and I would have done just as well putting my money in FAANG, but wi

I wonder how much the current work environment contributed to this. There's immense pressure to deliver, so it's not surprising to see this.

On the other side of this, I doubt the police would have done anything if they reported it stolen. There are questions online about "what if a former employee doesn't return their laptop." They almost always end with "se

It's weird. You either stay quiet or be loud and expect to be out of a job. The mindset is "will this help for PSC." I'm not bothered by the free speech policy decisions or Trump political contributions. Especially in li
