Regulation harms business (mostly smaller) in the short term. Consumer pays for regulation in the long term.

Pretty much any regulation harms business. The smaller the business, the more toll new regulations usually have on it. The more regulations we enact, the more big companies grow and small companies die/not started. It acts like a posit

I believe that Google has good intentions behind pushing AMP. They want websites to load faster. Everyone wants that. I especially hate those bloated news websites. But AMP is a wrong solution for the problem. If Google wants to make web pa

It seems like they are just making it more explicit that companies must cooperate with the police. Isn't it already the case anyway if there is an appropriate court order? At least they are not suggesting to compromise or limit encrypt

The company I work for develops software, including mobile apps, for smaller banks and credit unions that can't afford their own development team. We have more than a thousand clients and all of their apps are basically built on the sa

The problem with nutrition is that it's a very sensitive topic for people. Everyone wants to hear that what they eat is healthy, so "science" delivers on that demand. For myself I decided to go with WFPB diet because pretty m

I like the interpretation of minimally processed food as something that you can fairly easy make in your own kitchen. Freshly squeezed juice is fine. Packaged juice from concentrate with added refined sugar is not.

I usually just ignore 5-star and 1-star reviews. Many of five stars are either fake or people who just bought the product and are too excited to leave an unbiased review. Many of one stars are from people who are not satisfied with the purc

I think most companies can't afford to do Google-style interviews. Google can do it because it's a dream company for many people, so they are willing to invest a lot of time in preparing for the interview. Google-style interviews

I don't have any studies to back it up, but I know someone who used to take it every day and she said it's harder for her to fall asleep without it than it used to before she started taking it. Naturally our body adjusts to anythi

I occasionally use Melatonin to help me sleep on planes or adjust to new timezone, but I don't think it's a good idea to take it regularly.

If two companies offer offer same salary and similar in every other sense, but one doesn't offer free food, I will choose one that does. If the company that doesn't offer food has +$20 salary per day, I would probably still choose

My understanding was that all (or most) applications are processed in 4th quarter of a fiscal year. That's because lottery is done in April (with results in May/June). So, comparing quarters of the same year make zero sense to me.

One thing people often don't realise about interviews at Google and other companies with similar interview standards. You can't casually apply for those. You have to prepare a lot. At least for a month (probably much more) before

I think Uber has a big bet on self-driving cars where $7 per ride can be sustainable. The hope is that they can use investor's money till then to subsidize rides.

A couple of years ago we did a load testing comparison between MySQL and Postgres for our Java-based project. MySQL throughput was 5x better. I'm not sure if it was JDBC driver issue or just database configuration wasn't perfect,

I have a mixed feeling about this. On one hand I definitely agree that it's good to know lower level technologies and that's something I always ask people in the interviews. I think it's important because I know it. On the ot

I've been thinking about it quite a while. I think a big part of it is that when you finish one work item or project you need to move to something else. And people generally don't like change. I noticed that it gets even worse whe

I didn't realise it makes such a difference. I'm going to implement it in our apps. Do you have any suggestions on when to show it? I would imagine it makes sense to show it only after some reasonable time. Let's say if user
