This is a good point. EDS during the 80s and 90s used to hire smart people with no college degree and send them to Texas to learn how to code for several months. They built their workforce this way because the demand was higher than the glo

Agreed. I helped setup a company on this last year and they're very happy. There's a 'Deploy to Heroku' push button install that was incredibly easy to setup. Great job Metabase folks.: https://www.metabase.co

Very similar to our progression, do you have a good way you manage your data dictionary and catalog?

Looker on top of Redshift. Events streamed in from Segment and ELT transforms managed by Airflow. Looker gives you nice visualizations and charting with RBAC and some some lightweight ETL functionality. The real advantage of Looker is their

The article is about what cancer eats, not what you eat. The world’s leading neuro-oncologists I’ve talked to don’t believe diet matters.

Yeah, agreed. They don't seem as unwelcome as other ad forms.

We'll know we hit big podcast when they take away the 'skip forward 15 seconds' button. Advertisers will demand this like they did with video.

Slack's long-term value prop isn't chat, it's the platform. If you've used any of the great bot apps it hosts (PTO Ninja for example), it's easy to imagine a future where these kinds of apps replace whole swaths of

Agreed. I'd be happy if they brought their video chat up to the standard Screen Hero set. It was one of the best pieces of software I remember in recent years.

I'm pretty sure you just described the first phase of every product's lifecycle. Everyone plays on the same field, early adopters start winning, everyone else follows... eventually you monetize it and it becomes clear that winners

I tried dealing with Quest recently and gave up. They don't answer their phone or do and hang up. The more I see these breeches, the more it seems like it mostly comes down to someone either implicitly or explicitly making the decision

Google isn’t the web. To make the point that they’re dictating web standards is like saying that walmart makes people sick by only placing unhealthy products on their end caps. Like it or not, it is Google’s store and if you don’t like it,

I'm sure this is true. We've (unfortunately) now experienced this at 4 different hospital systems. The customer service is alarmingly similar. Hospital: "Call your insurance company and ask for a break" Insurance Company

My experience is that hospitals have switched to a zero tolerance policy around this in the last few years. They'd rather make no concessions and sell bad debt for pennies on the dollar than set a precedent that there are alternative c

My wife went through this about a year ago. They do this because brain cancers are so invasive that you basically want to remove as much brain matter around the tumor as possible with minimal functional deficiency afterwards. This is a trad

Yes. I think that's what I'm saying and I also think that it is great that coffee shops are popping up to solve the job to be done of providing me with an affordable space to work at the cost of a few cups of coffee. One thing I&#

I work remotely and find myself working from a lot of Starbucks. The music level seems consistent no matter where you go to the point where it feels like a policy. It is just loud enough that you can't drown it out with a good set of h

I encourage you to go test ride a steel vs an aluminum frame on a bad street and see if you still believe this. I guaruntee you will be surprised at the difference. My aluminum road bike with a carbon fork is an entirely different experienc

I think he left SEO as a reason out of this article. We're now building websites as much for humans as for google crawlers to read them, which means meeting standards of accordance in order to even participate in the SEO game. H1, H2,

I think the world seriously needs to consider what we're going to do about Brazil under the leadership of a right wing populist who gained presidency via the support of commercial agriculture. This could be the end of the Amazon as we

For some it actually reduces their financial burden because you can appeal to have your property taxes repegged to market value. As long as the economy doesn’t tank with the housing market, it can be a welcome adjustment.

If they were required to disclose their output schemas, researchers and journalists could help laymen figure out the implications. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just public.

I would like to read that article which talks about feature parity and support. This felt more like a hit piece. I didn't see a lot of evidence of 'best' other than broad generalizations. Would love to hear your followup in a

This is very helpful, thank you and I hope you continue to broadcast this message. It is definitely changing my thinking and I don't see major media outlets working to explain the technical advantages of these new technologies. It is,

Are you saying that 99% of hazardous nuclear material is consumed in its own process? What does 'fissioned' mean in this context? Also can you comment on whether this requires more or less uranium ore inputs than prior generation
