It will make Venmo/Zelle obsolete as banks will offer fast transfers natively. So no need for another app just for transferring money. However Venmo does have a nicer UX so customers will likely stick around since its “fun”.

The US never invaded Russia, so they didn’t have the kind of power they had over post WW2 Japan. Anyways even with that kind of power, the prevailing economic ideology at the time the Soviet Union fell was of extreme neoliberalism, so I dou

Racism does actually restrict your competitiveness, theres been a bunch of studies done on this. Regardless of the availability of sufficiently skilled Japanese labor, humans are pretty non-fungible when it comes to specialized skills. Losi

US Federal grants are involved in almost all research done in the US, so this likely means that the vast majority of research papers will become open access. Open Access will mean that top quality research will no longer require membership

Im tired of saying this but it’s absolutely mind boggling how fucked up it is that one of the main exports from America today is vaccine hesitancy. Science skepticism has always been a thing; its only in recent years though that internet ha

If you’re gonna wildly speculate then by all means go ahead and make up the most wildest shit imaginable.

I would leave. Not because I don’t like the office; but trying to force employees to do this doesn’t sit well with me. Remote first with optional office for those who chose to should be the default strategy. Anecdotally Ive continued to rec

I did not negotiate this but we get some Fridays off and I use unlimited PTO for the others to make it a 4 day workweek (except when oncall). When there’s a deadline or shits broken Ill put in the effort but for the most part its a 4 day wo

It seems pretty silly to discourage sale of Vietnamese made furniture in Vietnam.

A convergence of many reasons, including the uncertainty caused by locking down entire cities. TBH its likely that it was a question of when not if this would happen. Will be interesting to see the geopolitical effects of a diversification

Agreed. In tech especially, certain minority groups (East and South Asians) are over represented so our processes must evolve to deal with the situations that result from them.

This is a good first step. Anti racism/casteism is a cat and mouse game though. The only thing Im certain of is the rabid caste discriminators will develop some sort of coded language to keep discriminating without being caught. My poi

I don’t think this is some sort of malicious conspiracy or evidence of anti whiteness or whatever. Processes are created for the common case and when there is an uncommon scenario, it is new territory for everyone involved and someone has t

Maybe wild idea: generate a unique text identifier for the image + an s3 url, log that identifier rather than the image. I guess its logging metadata rather than the actual data.

There's benefits to using bare metal, but generally only for situations where you really need them. e.g. if you want to run hardware accelerated apps, run your own virtualization/VMM (like firecracker) etc. So yes, for the most pa

You do you, but even if you don’t expect to make it big its not a good idea to leave money on the table.

You’re asserting a bunch of things but the facts you’ve based your theory on are wrong. SF Chronicle did some excellent reporting on this: https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/article/sf-drug-crisis-w...

Respectfully I would ask you to rethink your perspective on what the point of work is in human society.

It does. Im not suggesting it be the model by which we help all the poor. Better solution: invest in welfare benefits and social programs. However if the choice is between paying extra v/s throwing people in prison Im not ok with the l

Because going after the vulnerable first in your quest for restoration of morality as a solution to societies problems seems like just another way to punish the poor/ lower classes. Elite corruption is also directly responsible for cre

If that were true then Im fine with this kind of unofficial sales tax to support people who are in desperate enough circumstances to be compelled to shoplift.

This would be pretty amazing if you could price it right. I don’t think AWS will maintain its dominance organically forever. Cracks are already showing. There are too many expensive managed services; maybe fine if you have the budget, but f

Income inequality is a separate (albeit related) problem from economic growth. Immigration generates more value, the fact that most of this value is captured by elites needs to be fixed with appropriate actions (higher taxation on the extre

Illegal immigrants can’t participate in vast sections of the economy precisely because of how well immigration checks work. They can only work for the informal sector/low level jobs.
