Publish date is 2008 on that McKinsey doc, 2012 on the Google one. Decent chance it's a different world now.

For Google, at least, I believe it's 18 months. And that's quite new, it happened after the Oracle fiasco, which had all sorts of goodies like: Subject: Java class libraries With talks with Sun broken off[,] where does that leave

I don't think it's necessarily advertising. There's a huge societal narrative that education is "the answer." (No specific question given). The statistics imply that maybe it's not, maybe it isn't a skills

It's more expensive everywhere than it used to be, but the construction cost inflation is vastly greater in the US than in other developed countries. Construction is getting less efficient over time. https://pedestrianobserv

You can generally recognize a few broad themes pretty reliably. How strictly or loosely things are structured, the power distance between management and employees, etc. There are sometimes things too weird to make up that come through (One

Docker with docker compose is good for this. Nginx can listen on ports 80 and 443, other containers on the same network can reach it on those ports. I have a setup which takes env vars, so it's not quite the same as shipped, but I can

I've heard the military thing about Amazon before. It's got more in common with the army than any other big tech company (so many people!). For the VP/SVP wall, high level decisions at big orgs are always bizarre, it's s

The way they use privacy rules is incredibly cynical. Whenever it's something they want to do or something they want known they can slice through red tape with ease. If it's something they don't want to talk about their hands

That's harder to prove, what I definitely see is roles staying unfilled open because the extra $10k a year to snag somebody faster is an obvious cost but six months of lost productivity isn't.

This is basically how viruses get around antivirus. I think the virus/antivirus arms race has been more or less won by viruses, so it looks like this is the end state of the adblock wars.

1) Much of the system is very old, some of it dating back to the 30s. Replacing those parts is very complicated, it's not a 1:1 process. The improvement comes because new signals work under different assumptions. The current signals ar

I believe it's not core Ethereum that has issues, it's buggy smart contracts. They don't make it particularly difficult to write insecure contracts, though.

This isn't a situation like the North Dakota oil boom, where there's a massive spike on a small base that's clearly going to end. It would a long time to build out enough to have the potential problem, and a long time to decl
