The bonds are great for investors because most of the the terms in there are designed to screw over the customer. These bonds are securitizations of SolarCity leased solar panel rooftop systems. The salesmane I met with in NY told me that w

In kind interest payments let the lender increase the principal balance instead of actually paying interest. In this case it would be like issuing 10% more equity per year instead of paying the 10% in cash. It wasn't mentioned in the

Originally, the web server was intended to be a very simple program with most of the complications in the browser. Most web app backbends are similar to this where all they do is query a database, cache or other web servers. This type of

Facebook's mobile web app is very good. In fact it is quite a lot better than their native app on Android. I believe most of the examples of bad mobile web apps (eg: twitter, linkedIn) are because the organization focuses their resou

This is a good article. The title says conquer technical debt, but much of the article is about becoming comfortable with the technical debt. In fact, all code is debt. As systems become larger, they are harder to modify and maintain. A

Title should have been "Engineers Shouldn't only write ETL." I agree with the author's statement of the problem, but not with the proposed solution. Succinctly, I think the problem is compartmentalization and specializ

I believe the algorithmic ordering is intended to optimize other variables such as "time on site," because if you stay longer they can show you more ads. It seems like the conspiracy stuff would be much harder to actually do, lik

Great post, I agree. It's also interesting that the constant increase in demand leads to continuous and increasing destruction of the environment and consumption of natural resources. Perhaps less demand will be better in the long ru
