I can see that. In my experience, it works to have a subject matter expect at as a consultant/mentor to a few young and hungry employees. Essentially, the expert can help lead a team through big technical decisions or when there is a r

I was on the train from Boston to New York one time, and a bunch of Salesforce employees (sales) were also in my car. Let me first say their sales team is relentless and never gives up. However, at one point they were speaking with a prospe

Interesting. Recently, I saw a local news program for the first time in years, and I couldn't believe how many negative and depressing stories they ran.

It should probably be called "CoPilot" and issue significant alerts as to when it has a poor understanding of the situation so the driver is aware to at least be more alert.

Interesting. Thanks. Verisign's revenue per employee is definitely off the charts as is its operating margins. I remember reading this article though: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/feb/28&#x

From a technical standpoint, what would the risk be if Verisign screwed up? If they could only afford low rate engineers, would the risk go up significantly?

This is not new though. Robert Smith pioneered the idea that while software companies didn’t have tangible assets, they had stable cash flows. In the public markets, data providers like IHS Markit, MSCI, etc. have used some debt to rise the

I agree, but more from the point of view on what if a new unordered implement if discovered 10 years from now that’s better? Would a new type have to be added?

I think the big difference is that you can re-implement your website in a new web framework, open source it, and then get traction, etc. You can also do this with ETL frameworks (i.e. Airflow) too. Disruptive software is easier here as deve

It likely should be a combination. If processes are so different than the "standard" vendor approach, is there a good reason? Step two would be answering what is the key 10% that is different to customize.

Well, push the commodity price to the limit. LVMH designing purses with diamond studs? Bedazzled dresses? Jewelry shifting more to intricate designs, brand increasing in importance, and more use of gold or platinum? If a girl in Iowa can ea

The above comment is correct. De Beers bought Lightbox to position synthetic diamonds as for “everyday jewelry” rather than special occasion jewelry such as engagement rings. So it essentially is to help protect diamond price levels and the

I get the feeling that large acquisitions wouldn’t help Apple given its culture and emphasis on tight integration. Also, it’s R&D budget on an absolute level is pretty large.

They are moving whatever they can to count as cloud and bought RedHat to continue to “grow” cloud as they probably ran out of things to move.

I completely agree on Alphabet as of late. Maybe they can justify having a hardware division for phones as a necessary cost center in order to facilitate R&D developments for Android. I’d even give Veerily the benefit of the doubt as it

The corollary to this is working in the area that the company appreciates the most. So, for Apple, it might be design, for Google, software engineering, for Salesforce, being on the sales side.

My general feeling regarding any company is work closest to the source of revenue. This way, your performance will be attached to what drives the business performance.

From my recollection, Ballmer continually overpaid for random acquisitions that screamed “in the moment hot thing” versus well-thought, strategic. From an outsiders view, the whole we must take over the world syndrome manifested into trying

I find this very true for things like movie reviews or product reviews. You likely will be bombarded by a ridiculous amount of similar content for weeks after you no longer have any intention to watch similar content.

I’m not a big believer in MPT as correlations are unstable, but a simple rule of thumb would be anything over 10% as having significant exposure. With some big tech, there’s some diversification due to different business segments, ex: Amazo

One way I found helpful was to look at ORM libraries like sqlalchemy to see how they queried each db to translate schemas into objects.

Those would be issues as well as enabling the higher bidder versus the best prospect (in her mind). I suppose it could be weighted based on both levels of desirability. I think a similar system without the social and implementation complexi

Politicians care about taking down Facebook’s or Twitter’s power mainly to leverage it for themselves or because they view it as an existential threat.

I've also heard that a significant amount of the detected fraudsters are simply let go. Essentially, a company would rather ask the current CFO to leave about learning the information rather than admit it had a CFO who was able to stea

Many if not most trading decisions are not executed from a NYC office. The exchange servers aren’t in NYC either, but like that matters.
