Also, a quick knee-jerk question. How did Cassandra, HBase fail to meet your requirements? I am sure you must have evaluated existing data-stores before you went ahead building your own.

side-question to OP who is probably the blog author: Which software was used to generate the diagrams? Haven't read the blog post or the paper but SIGMOD is a prestigious conference. Congrats on the great work.

It is really fascinating to see the self-driving car space. I have been assuming that Google is way ahead of everyone else, and that other tech companies literally didn't stand a chance including Apple. If traditional car companies are

Thanks for pointing me to this. I didn't know they started offering 6 weeks leave regardless of Gender. 6 weeks feels half-hearted though but better than nothing.

You know what I find unbelieveable! In spite of several people calling out that Amazon doesn't officially offer paternity leaves and that it sucks, Amazon leadership is simply doing nothing about it. Google/FB/Linkedin/N

For a second, a thought crossed my mind that Amazon is actively trying to change its external perception after the NY times article and is trying to cozy up to developers. I found this on Glassdoor. Apparently, it will take a long time for

Amazon is turning a new leaf. They stopped publishing to any major conferences after their last significant paper, DynamoDB. My perception of Amazon is that they take everything from open-source but don't actively give back. Amazon and

Facebook Live will decimate Periscope. They should have sold when they had a chance. Too little too late.

More like 8-12 years, if you switch a job without getting a I-140 approved and 12+, if you switch jobs and GC process gets reset for each job change.

This comment at best should be neutral. Why the down voting. Just curious.

Greg, I don't know you. It is pretty incredible reading the blog post and what you have signed up to do. Kudos to Sama for the vision, and all the amazing people you were able to get together for the shared mission. Making the org non-

For 2015/16, new college grads at good companies total comp is in the range $120-180K, and they definitely have access to good social networks within the company and outside. Is there a large group of next generation people I am missin

I admit this comment might be insensitive and will probably ruffle the feathers of many but I was purely thinking from the point of view of economic impact and who drive(s) the innovation engine here. VCs, People who made it in tech, hungry

Among the people who voted, this is the number for Taxable household income for 2016 More than $150,000 16% Prefer not to respond 11% Rest of the % are all under $150,000. Good senior engineer/product people make way more than that.

I was wondering who are you and why are you doing this? Are you doing this profit? Doesn't seem like it. You seem to be a great guy! Keep up the good work. World needs more people like you.

I am not a tax expert but I have heard that as long you put the appreciation money back into a house purchase, you can keep all the appreciation upto 500K tax free.

Any machine learning experts here? How is the problem of finding empty slots in your calendar formulated as an ML problem? This is an honest question to learn.

What? Yes, it is underlined in Safari but not in Chrome. I am checking what is different in Chrome. I don't have any fancy plugins/extensions in Chrome which blocks images other than adblock.

Couple of things about the Medium article itself. It is not obvious that "Reed Albergotti’s recent article." is a link. No anchor tag styling css to know otherwise. On clicking the hidden link I see the following " This link

This is awesome! Thank you. This is especially helpful for programmers who are good at other languages and want to get a feel of go quickly over a weekend. Much easier to map the existing mental models built over-time to the new go programm

Glad I am not the only one who feel this way. Some benchmarks between load ptr/store ptr and the read-write lock would be helpful. Also simplified code-blocks for each of the approaches and more details into pro/cons of each appro

I used to wrongly think you need a PhD to be able to win a Turing. Diffe proved me wrong. He serves as an inspiration to anyone who mentally feels inferior to PhDs when it comes to making significant contributions to the field of Computer S

This is great! I hope this becomes the new norm for all new startups. If a start-up doesn't want to follow this then it really shows the values founders believe in and the kind of company they want to build. Is this kind of plan unpopu

It doesn't make sense to allow commercial real-estate companies to take advantage of prop-13. I thought, the whole point of Prop-13 was to ensure that old folks don't get thrown out their homes.

I want to learn more about dynamic sharding. Will be great, if people can help me out here. I get the feeling "my googling" skills will fail me.

Also, most people are supporting a mortgage + one/two kids + spouse. It is easy for a person with FU money to just quit the job on a whim, and search for a new job. A majority of software engineers are still scared of being unemployed.

Feel terrible reading this. Is rest of the Alphabet upper management completely oblivious to what is happening inside Nest? Don't they care? Isn't leadership about doing the right thing. If people are getting abused, Alphabet&#x2F
