Not a stupid question, it's basically the job of the Investment Bank to help company management, the auditors and company lawyers to pull it all together. It's one of the main things they hang their traditional 7% fee on. I'

As someone who used to make pitch books in investment banking (not GS), I'll tell you some of the awesome things I saw from a user perspective. -- Funny when they mentioned fitting in a lot of text in a small space. I've never us

I heard an interesting theory, I wish I could credit whoever thought it up but I've forgotten. The theory is that the success Dirac had and all of the successes of the other luminaries around the early 1900 - 1930's (essentially e

I always see comments like this from individual contributors. I'll give you the managers perspective. You may be worth $150k, any one individual engineer could be worth multiples of that! Look at your entire engineering team, from bes

Absolutely would not bring it up. California has "ban the box" and as a practical matter: 1. most "boxes" on employment application ask about Felonies not misdemeanors. 2. I'm not an expert but the few times i'

It’s hilarious watching Google trying to be a consumer-focus company. What features do they lead with: 1) end to end encrypted, and 2) we’re constantly making optimizations 3) uses AI to reduce audio interruptions, 4) and Excitingly! Coming

i feel like the death of third-party cookies is not getting enough attention in the category of "death of the open web." if you are a small website, you "owned" that cookie. now small websites are going to have to stra

I wish they would have sued Spotify. Spotify frequently aggressively breaks Sonos for what I assume is anti-competitive reasons.

My guess would be along similar lines a sort of always on, low bandwidth, side channel. So activation and a bootstrap for the next generation of weird protocols apple would love to cook up. I don’t know at all how airdrop works, but you cou

I was thinking about this recently: is there ever a reason to put recursion in an everyday “workman” code base? Seems like it would be so out of place in a real industry code base, like a infinite loop waiting to happen. There are always be

Also, I feel like they are in an almost impossible competitive position. Their main competitive tool against aws is further differentiation by ‘moving up the stack” with more and more “do the tough stuff for you” platform services that fewe

Wow, this is a real indictment of goog’s plan to take the loot from ads and spend to diversify. They basically invented the cloud model, and if they don’t have the culture and the ability to expand to this most naturally of expansion areas

A true on-tap database. Seems like one of the last true differentiators. That and legit, lights out, load balancing. Both hard tech problems too.
