My assumption would be that it is a complexity thing. As a consumer of the service having a rate limit that is easy to understand and write retry logic for is a big plus. If the criteria is "x requests per 5 minute window" and I s

You can learn a lot when writing V2 of a thing though. You've got lots of real world experience about what worked and what didn't work with the previous design, so lots of opportunity for making data structures that suit the probl

Before you start your experiment, you calculate how many samples you need based on the estimated effect size you're looking for and how small you want your confidence interval to be. Small effect with high confidence => more samples

As an engineer I'm a small org I think it's our responsibility to educate the rest of the team about these risks and push to make sure they get engineering time to mitigate these issues. It's not easy, but it's important

I'm not so sure. I think there is some selection bias happening, so it's easy to say "Streisand effect!" When it makes the headlines but that ignores the times it doesn't make the headlines.

From the lawyer's point of view I guess you're making a risk judgement, presumably they thought the chance of getting a successful court order outweighed the potential increase in press of they happened to fail.

I suspect talent and hard work are pretty well correlated with becoming wealthy (say >$10m), but I think you then need a big injection of luck to take you from wealthy to ultra wealthy.

Interesting that the researchers have gone public before a mitigation is in place from Apple. Seems in pretty stark contrast to the industry-wide coordination that went into patching and mitigating spectre.
