Product management is what you want to do, project management is what you actually do, program management is what you say you do.

If these are already expensive, there must be a lot of value for the data itself? Why not make that your core offering? If you're able to automate the process and provide more data on top, you'll definitely have an edge over them.

Aren't there services that provide normalized financial data? I don't know about the UK, but I've seen in other markets. If your USP is more towards analytics than data wrangling, it might save you a lot of headache to offloa

So many years of software development and we just haven't figured out a way to communicate project timelines cleanly across all parties. If leadership hears a project is going to take one year, what they actually hear is two years and

It's the ecosystem. Without an ecosystem there will be less adoption and consequently less investment in the OS. Where I stay, so many services offered exclusively through Android/iOS apps with no alternative. Even government serv

The numbers would quickly be blacklisted by websites. You need a very large pool of numbers and make sure you don't reuse numbers too often. Not sure if it's practical.

If a country does not allow their citizens to exchange currency, then this is as good as a black market and comes with the same risks as obtaining currency through any other black market means.

When did you previously have a stress test before this? Would you also mind sharing what your blood pressure levels were at?

Most people own a home for living and purchase it maybe once in their life time. It's the wealthy that engage in speculation and use real estate as an investment vehicle. This kind of behaviour creates an artificial demand for the reso

It's a phenomenon world over, a very direct consequence of wealth inequality which is increasing at similar rates everywhere. Even in the best countries, the top 10% holds 50% of wealth. The remaining 90% is completely priced out as th

I've come to believe that people rarely change through their life. I can't think of many people neither in personal nor in public life, where I've seen a fundamental change in value system. But people are really good at putti

I think you're misunderstanding my point. I was talking from the receiver's point of view, not the initiator. As far as the job market is concerned, when the supply/demand is so skewed and everyone is doing this kind of sales

If that were the case, the sales wouldn't have mattered in the first place. The article does suggest cold emailing as a tactic, so if someone is looking at a stock standard cold email template and thinking, "hey, this guy sounds e

I dunno, a better lesson to take away from this is, don't fall for sales. I think more people will do better to learn to evaluate others by what they do rather than what they say. If you don't know better, reputation and first-han

I didn't realize either until I saw this comment. The tone of the blog post also felt like it was coming from an individual rather than an organisation, which is not typical of Amazon. I don't know if this was a recent acquisition

Really good. I have one more proposal. Capital gains tax that increases progressively with gains, and decreases progressively with duration i.e. incentivize significant investors to create long term value instead of chasing quick exits.

I mean that can be said of any research, couldn't it? 400 years back, nobody would have dreamed that studying why these dots in the night sky move will help us understand tides on earth. 200 years back no one would have imagined that t

There's also maintenance lapses, faulty repairs, defective parts, and as far as software goes I can think of n number reasons how a ghost can manifest itself inside program logic. This is a new gen plane that relies more on software th

You're missing the point. If one wants to be anonymous there are ways to do so. If we willingly give up anonymity in exchange for free in certain cases, that's our prerogative, but we must have the choice of not needing to do, whe

I did say most cases, not all cases. There are some concerns that are considered cross cutting, to have made it into the standard. For instance, many clients will handle a 401 by redirecting to an auth flow, or handle a 429 rate limited by

Sure, there's some nuance to it that depends on your application, but it's the server's responsibility to do so, not the client's. The status code exists for this reason and the standard also classifies status codes unde

by potamic 1y ago
The point of status codes is to have a standard that any client can understand. If you have a load balancer, the load balancer can unhealthy backends based on the status code. Similarly if you have some job scheduler or workflow engine that

Using the phone's RF modem itself would be the ideal choice. Why aren't there any userspace applications over this?

This is some remarkable intuition. Electromagnetism wasn't even developed as a theory. To observe such varied phenomena like how nerves communicate or what comprises matter or the behaviour of light and postulate they might all have so

A better analogy might be something like medicine. There are many drugs prescribed that are known to help with certain conditions, but their mechanism of action is not known. While there may be research trying to uncover those mechanisms, t

I have never been able to understand how Bell's Theorem disproves hidden variables. The argument I hear is that when you measure spin of a particle pair 120° apart, they agree only 1/4 times instead of the expected 1/3. But w
