George Hu cut his teeth under Benioff during the most meteoric rise of both Salesforce and Benioff's celebrity. I would be very surprised if Jeff's desire to be a public facing CEO would even cause George to notice, let alone bris

The decline of Twilio's position has been as pretty clear for the last 18 months now, and has been a topic of conversation longer than that. Twilio never had the margins or control of their environment to nearly the degree you need to

It is really impressive that everyone was able to evacuate the plane. From some of the videos online you can see that there was a significant and increasing amount of smoke in the cabin. It is a testament to the evolving design of commercia

You can read this the other way. Russia is so inferior to the US that something like the downing of a drone does not necessitate a response. If it's clear that you can and will act when and where you want, then responding to the bellic

I've experienced the same thing. In commercial projects in some places, the contractors actually just file liens right away "as a matter of practice". They automatically expire 60 (or some number of) days after the last day o

I think the tide has turned on the Lightening. I know that dealers near me are trying to sell the ones they have.

I am a very happy Tesla customer, but I have never purchased "Full Self Driving (Beta)" for any of my vehicles. I feel like the promises that have been made about FSD and the amount of money that has been charged for it over the y

I just don't know how to think about what to build anymore. Not to detract at all from this (and thanks for making the source available!) but we now have entire classes of problems that seem relatively straightforward to solve now, so

Bell and Telus had mastered the art of extracting government incentives to pay for their fibre build outs as well. They would demand subsidies in the 100s of millions of $ in some cases. In one example they had Fibre running to a city in No

In 9th grade I was a "VP" of a group called aPC. We were couriers. I used to walk down the hallways of my Jr High school thinking how I was so fucking cool and not one single person around me knew it. :)

We don't advocate complex pricing models. KISS is often the best approach, although some complexity does have its place. The real complexity comes from when you need to make changes to your pricing and have to manage grandparenting, up

We've been primarily OSS, so free. We do have Tier Cloud with customers actively using it, but it has been invite only so far. It's a fair point though and I think we can put pricing up now in advance of making it publicly availab

HN has given me so many great book recommendations over the years. Things I truly would not have found myself. I really get excited when I see someone mention a book in a relevant topic thread.
