We made some heavy modifications to the user model to allow for authentication with a few different types of identifiers, including composite keys. Django expects you to set a single USERNAME_FIELD but we had to support more than one and th

The defaults in Django work fine for most people. I've used rails before and it's a great framework but python has a much better ecosystem, especially if you're doing anything machine learning ralated.

1. Changing the base user model is not that hard if you're starting a new project. It took us a few hours to make that change. 2. Nothing is stopping you from using multiple files for config. We use a config module with a separate file

Revenue based market share is more relevant than unit market share for most businesses. Apple pulls in 2/3 of the revenue in the mobile app ecosystem and gets to act as a gatekeeper between most consumer startups and their potential cu

Supermarkets purchase their inventory so it's in their best interest to sell it. Amazon doesn't really care if the 3rd party seller's inventory never moves because it doesn't cost them anything.

Hardest part of building computer vision models these days is collecting and annotating data. A self serve tool like sagemaker doesn't solve that problem. As a computer vision company your best bet is to focus on a specific industry or

Speaking of iPods, has anyone been able to find a modern replacement for a nano or shuffle? Ideally something with bluetooth. I'm guessing the best bet these days would be an apple watch.

It wouldn't make sense for them to compete with Uber and Lyft while they're busy losing money on each ride. They could launch a delivery only platform and attempt to leverage existing ride sharing drivers but then they'd have

I doubt Amazon would want to deal with all of those employees. I'm not even sure that they'd want to handle deliveries for other businesses. With Uber they have a 24/7 flexible contractor workforce and physical interaction wi

Why did they buy Whole Foods? They could have easily opened up a few hundred grocery stores too. Uber has around 4 million registered drivers and millions of daily users and a huge team of engineers working on these problems. With Lyft and
