Yep. Just like relocating between cities while at the same company will cause your payscale to adjust. Look at the US Federal Government, or most state governments. There is X Pay for the position, and then that pay has a modifier based on

I'd rather we be in a situation where we have to make sure businesses pay their taxes, then a situation where we can't pay in cash. Right now, the payment industry is very consolidated and Visa/Mastercard have a monopoly on t

That would be amazing. And I could believe it. Not properly setting up and configuring auth could result in long duration of auth tokens, which could be sitting around unknowingly.

Or mine. There is no direction, and everything is encumbered with complex business logic so you're waiting weeks for a S3 bucket.

I wouldn't go into a new project using new tech or with the goal of using new tech. That's setting yourself up for failure. Go with what you know. You should look a new tech as something to be experimented with and tried out in a

Robinhood's has only two things going for it. 1. It has a massive userbase that most likely doesn't have exposure to the larger financial world 2. They have a large enough user base, where they can route orders through dark pools

That doesn't require a microservice to do. If you're breaking an app apart so one part can use redis, you have something seriously wrong in your engineering culture.

There's two orders out. The 2nd one targets ByteDance and prevents US companies from doing business with them.

I'd love for the US to adopt a standard that is bank agnostic, like ACH, but allows for near real-time payments from P2P but also person to business payments. It's a big problem when Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal control a large pa

I'm fine with Ads. What I'm not fine with is: - Intrusive Ads that either demand attention or mask themselves as something else - Ads that are based on targeted information pulled from other sources, such as other websites. - Ads

You can't just go out and start an ISP. That's like saying I can go out and start my own bank or make my own payment processor.

I treat every meeting I'm in as optional unless I was specifically asked to be in it. Seems to work, but it depends greatly on where you work, your culture, and what kind of meeting is it

I'm applying to work at ByteDance, and this whole thing is quite interesting. I'd most likely, if I get an offer, ask if they would wait to see how this plays out. Last thing I would want to do is join a company that's having

It's selection bias. We're inundated with stories of how Person X changed the world with their software, or Person Y who solved this amazing issue, or Company Z is doing this cool thing- with out realizing that we're only see

Wow. That's a great way to not only piss off the judge, but bring the full wrath of the federal government down on you. Piss off is not the right word, because it marginalizes what happened. But man, that judge is not going to be on yo

The cloud is always going to be slower the physical hardware of similar specs. This is fact. You don't use the cloud for performance. You can't unless the provider is exposing those kind of metrics to the system. Some systems, suc

My first through is why is Facebook doing this? Why do they have a division that's developing Robotics? Promising though. Much of the cost of running cable is having someone mount the cable, drive 30 feet down the road, and mount the c

Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Uber, and others as well. They all need to be broken up and have restrictions imposed on them. Apple is the only company I can see that won't be hit.

I will be very curious when the Google Anti-Trust suit drops to see how the tech world reacts. We've seen a lot of consolidation in the past few years- Google seems to be gobbling up any tech company that collects a lot of personal inf
