I wonder who will be providing the actual service of identity verification for Meta or if they'll try to do it in-house.

Microsoft was founded before oracle and is among the top 5 largest tech co's. IBM and oracle may not be as big as they used to but they're still huge. oracle in particular is at a near all time high.

Just hilarious to me to lay the blame for 'bad' software at the feet of capitalism when one of the 'purest' capitalist countries, the US, is so dominant in this sector worldwide. Of the 100 largest tech companies, 62 are

I just don't see how this is a big deal, if you have a high bar for quality then don't be an early adopter / buy something on the day it is released. You can always wait and see how something develops, the outcome is no diffe

definitely not easier to deploy, at least if you're talking about how most people build software these days (what sqlite managed service are you familiar with? for mysql or postgres there's hundreds of companies offering this)

i don't protest, i just don't do the tasks they ask me to. i don't know my rating but I've never had problems booking Airbnb's. if they want me to clean they can't charge a cleaning fee.

not necessarily a problem with the db. rather the syncing strategy. i figure using a Cron with something like rsync would have worked

is $15/month really that much of an expense? i share my PostgreSQL instance across projects, really does not seem like that big of a deal to me considering it's such a big hobby of mine.

I really doubt this. Unless I'm working pretty directly with someone (that is, on the same specific project), it's hard for me to know how much they're really contributing. On my team of 8, I really only know how hard 2 or 3

How do you spot these people though? In a large organization, it's hard to know. Hell, even in my team of 10 people I only really know how much 2 or 3 of my teammates are doing.

An interesting idea that is then followed-up with a bunch of bad advice. I'm just not seeing how taking the advice here doesn't turn into your job being excruciatingly annoying to actually perform day-to-day. So maybe you've

who's handing out equity "left right and centre?" Any place that I've worked or heard of has given comparative peanuts to workers while the people at the top / founders are paid 100-1000x.

Sounds eerily similar to how companies generally operate, by paying the absolute minimum to get the job they want done. Interesting how people don't seem to like when labor takes the same aproach.

In fact, the legal default is that ISOs convert to NSOs, but the vast majority of startups force-expire them. Indeed we have seen that if no entity forces a startup to allow an employee-friendly policy to go forward, the company would rat

do you have a source for YouTube profit numbers? all I've ever seen is revenue stats with zero details on cost.

It's still unclear if YouTube is actually profitable.
