Did you look at Factset's datafeed? I've found its reference data and symbology to be pretty reliable. Cusips will cost a lot with redistribution charges though. You're better off avoiding them if possible.

This is something I've thought about and worked on over the last several years. I'm more than happy to have an in-depth conversation on it if anyone is interested.

Nasdaq already makes more money on data licensing than on trading fees or IPO's. Each time a professional in the financial services industry wants real-time display data, for example, they have to pay Nasdaq a monthly fee. Nasdaq and N

I assumed it to be a joke, or at least referencing that a person with a "white-collar" job in NYC at times feels like they live more like the middle/lower class than the upper-class. For instance, New York City made significa

It’s crazy to think about the fact the the Oracle lock-in is so strong that even a company offering alternative solution to Oracle has taken so long to move off of it. I wonder if aws will use its learnings and start to offer consulting ser

I think you have a point, but I would probably point to Adobe as what Apple should have done in the cloud, or even something like Airtable. I think Excel is such a lock in for some industries and Google is already providing a free alternati

I guess is there a reason to believe Apple would be good at providing enterprise IT or infrastructure services, especially when its become hyper-competitive? Delivering to enterprise is usually about customizing 10-20% around edge cases ve

I'm no expert, but there definitely are similarities. You could design a temporal table where a change in a customer's email always generates a new row versus an update, or you could just be capturing a snapshot of time-series dat

I would say Zocdoc is the best example of B2C company tackling a regulated industry (healthcare) through a marketplace that I have come across. It does seem to me that more startups are tackling the professional services layer with B2B solu

I’d argue that even in NYC, people associate less value with equity compensation. But, when most of the multi-billion exits have happened in SV, isn’t this entirely justifiable?

Maybe the context of the answer is more valuable than the answer in this case? i.e. we have 95% coverage on our core IP and CI setup for all of our source code. But, we integrated X for that service to get off the ground quickly, which wil

I’ve found the faceid to be a massive upgrade over the touchid.

I completely agree with this. But, also in think Google does have some advantages. Out of the box, their NLP algorithms seem much better than AWS’s offering. They also offer custom search as an api. I haven’t used it, but bigquery seems ver

I’m not sure I agree with the rule of two. Industries typically consolidate over time. Also, anti-trust rules typically prevent a rule of one. Several industries have had multiple competitors thrive though. Banking would be a good example o

Wow. That's incredible. I would say this is completely against what I would assume the expected behavior would be.

What's the problem with most projections though? How do they arrive at this number? It seems to me that this is similar to a startup offering 5 year growth projections. I mean, one problem in this whole assumption to me seems whether A

I think it make sense from a cost/benefit analysis. Swift was created to make it easier for developers to write iPhone apps. Open sourcing the code provides developers with example code (given it was a brand new language), and more eye

This is what the Maersk CEO said recently. Everyone is importing more now in case prices and tariffs rise. He also mentioned that US exports to China has slowed presumably because the Chinese government force the hand of Chinese companies m

Interesting. Do you think this is more interpolability between packages, i.e. Pytorch not being written or having extensive testing for TPUs, or most deep learning problems don’t fit neatly into the exact problem domain TPU is specialized f

Yeah. That has been my experience. AWS has way better customer interaction and will refund "small accidents" with credits. Google makes it hard to reach a person and won't budge at all on similar issues. On the flip side, the

I really liked this Messi article: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/messi-walks-better-than... To me, it really exemplifies that often it is better to slowly move into the right area, and save your resources for wh

This is a good point. When I grew up in Chicago during the Bulls dynasty era, Michael Jordan’s trainer Tim Grover wrote a book on explosiveness training mainly through body weight type exercises and flexibility versus heavy weights, now whi

In seriousness, isn't this where Microsoft should have a competitive advantage? If Excel integrates with Azure easily, doesn't it incentive Azure adoption? I guess I'm picturing a bank analyst running a derivatives model that

I think Linkedin is classified in the Productivity and Business segment.

Interesting. S3 does have object versioning, which I believe once enabled, causes the object versions to preserve always be preserved. I think the AWS equivalent though is using AWS Glacier and creating a vault lock.

What do you mean exactly by journaling? Do you mean that it supports an append mode or something else?

Would you say they are not good at services or data science? I personally think it's the latter. Maps and Siri are pretty heavy with ML, and I won't expect these to shine compared to say Google. Services like itunes, icloud, App s

This is very well said. Do you think when a manager jumps into critical parts of the codebase, it also causes an over-reliance on that person? i.e. Something is behind, the manager takes the wheel, and finishes it off over the weekend due t

Crunchbase has a Built With section. I'm not sure how its constructed, but I'm guessing it only looks at what it can determine from a company's site. I suppose github could be another source.

I saw that before. It's pretty crazy.
