Strangely, I'm not seeing a wide enough condemnation of this. Another country is building destructive weapons, bringing down LEOs; how is this a good thing? All the while the region suffers from chronic poverty, poor access to clean wa

Everything you mentioned was done. Including assymteric patterns, the bolts couldn’t be put in the wrong way and had arrows with color markings. The installation engineer literally “hammered” these in the wrong polarity. “flight control sen

When the inbox categorization system was rolled out by Gmail, I thought this was over engineering and the average person wouldn't need this. Fast forward an year later, I'm surprised how good it works. My inbox is filtered clean o

It surprises me that you think the tech aspect of Uber is the biggest. It's not; the biggest aspect of Uber is operations. For every city you have onboard, you need significant people on the ground that work on driver recruitment, deal

Really depends upon the goal. If you're a venture funded startup then the find is aiming for a 10x truth from you over 7-10 years. This will translate to 2-3x Y/Y growth for the first years of the startup. Ofcourse, if you're

That's where tech like kubernetes help in making your app/service portable. Or having common APIs like between s3 and google cloud storage. Twice the persistence means always having at least one backup and thus the occurance of do

Not a US citizen but I find the whole tipping experience rather stressful and an additional item to worry about. I like it that Uber has it built into the service and there's only one thing to pay. I'd rather pay a flat increase o

Beat me to it. Using "head" is a good scalable title. It works for both large and small sized organizations and for people who care about titles, it looks good on paper as well.

I believe that is deliberate and if Facebook wants to succeed beyond tech companies, it will do well not to add any programmer-happy / commands, @usernames and single-threaded chatrooms

While I understand your point, the danger in this over simplification is that it encourages brute forcification. If 10k hours were only enough, our typing speed would keep increasing. But that's not the case; to improve you need to be

Well, if you look at how we've done things over the years: - We used to have our own machines in our own data centers - Then we started renting machines in data centers - We then moved to the cloud model where we would get compute capa

I do feel for your situation. It's apparent that this was the management's plan and you might not have been communicate to. Excited about Parse 2.0 nonetheless!

There really can't be a one-size-fits-all. New devs must earn the right to commit without review (post-commit-review), devs with proven quality records get post-commit-review, sensitive code areas get pre-commit-reviews.
