Imagine if LinkedIn wanted to use Firebase to launch a new product. I could easily imagine a 1,000x hour over hour growth as the social media grows. If I was LinkedIn, I’d be very upset if Firebase pulled the cord when everyone was looking

The company scaled to support the world’s largest economy. Remove that. Recognize they can’t compete in #2 (China). Then how can you justify their current scale? What do you mean by more popular than any meta or us app? WhatsApp has 2b mont

TikTok's main user base is the USA. If TikTok sells their US app, they can't support themselves on the rest of the world. TikTok isn't even the leader in China. US Meta can definitely support itself at it's current size

I view my blog as a public diary. It tracks what I am thinking about at various times in my life/career. Continue to write, because it helps me refine my ideas, practice my writing skills, and snapshots my mind.

you're not wrong, but I think the underlying premise is: "We have limited resources. Lets identify the most impactful places for our $$." Presumably, people with social disorders will be much more expensive to house than some

At my job (eng count ~1k), the EM's are responsible, with TPMs helping monitor the metrics. Teams are given a fixed budget per micro-service and if that spend exceeds that budget, you need to find the money from another service in our

My sense is _most_ resumes are actually reviewed by a human. Most job postings aren't getting 1000s of applicants. If they are, 3 people can review 1000 applications in 2 hours (30s look).

Oats can be very expensive, depending on where you are. When I was actively body building and on a business trip to Singapore, I couldn't find any reasonably priced oats at the the grocery store. When you're dieting, once you know

Maybe you can pay $1 to access the profiles that paid $20 or you can pay $20 and access the profiles that paid $1. I believe this is basically how seeking works

you're probably right, but I think this is a bit different. You're effectively selling a gender "badge" on your profile. Either (real) gender can purchase that badge, but if you want to be marked as "male", it

My mom is celiac, so I am familiar with what products contain gluten. I think there needs to be an "check the label" response for some searches. A few products I tested that I know can have gluten, but don't always: soy sauce

When I was at Yelp, we shared log files in gists. the infosec team loved this, b/c they could scan the gists for PII and token leaks easily.

I typically use Gitlens to get the gitlab or sourcegraph links. Expiring links might be nice... I have a lot of old gists that don't need to exist, but I'm too lazy to manually delete them. I don't think such a tool, I would

I understand that AI can encourage users to engage more with the platform... but the original idea was that FB would count AI as a user, not that humans would interact more with the AI. If FB was trying to mislead about their user counts, t

I still don't get it. why would they need an AI model to inflate user counts like this? There are much simpler ways to create users than spending $100 of millions on gpus. The technology of batch inserting rows into a db, and AI chat b

by itake 2y ago
I don’t understand. Presumably, this will create more engagement for the human users, because there is more content for the humans to interact with. Why would they count an ai model as a monthly active user?

If they were profitable, then they wouldn’t have shut down… Presumably, their cost to serve was higher than what their customers were collectively paying.

Where does the money come from to pay for that? As an employee, would you want to work for 6mo, for no promotions, bonuses, stock? Seems like they could have had huge layoffs, to try to maintain, but maybe they thought the sale would go thr
