2020 and now 2022 are bloodbaths for anyone who was a new grad from 2019 until now. Not only have I been rescinded, but several friends and my girlfriend have been rescinded (we went from employed to jobless in a snap). My anecdata is that

Depends on the industry. At seed in computational biotech, we had a lean team. After validating our technology as much as we could, we played a lottery on AWS to get compounds. These workloads handled tens if not hundreds of billions of row

I've found that it varies. When I was at MIT, students and affiliates got credits and instances like candy (I feel like the school brand lowered friction). But then on Reddit, Stack Overflow, or Github I see a lot of people struggling

Also, Obama has two college aged daughters and that's where he gets his contemporary music from. Of all things to be cynical about... I'm sure a lot of parents have tried listening to what their kids listen to, and, on occasion, f

I wonder how much of this comes down to the researcher's expectations going from SVP at a 1k person trading firm to Senior Manager at a Google with 100k+ employees. Maybe they expected to punch in a much higher political weight class t

On a data driven platform of all places, we should be able to mutually acknowledge that one Tweet does not a pattern or movement make. I, too, can raise anecdata that I've never seen someone justify LatinX as a move to gain power. The

I don't think Latinx is a good example. The GP mentions there's no functional cost to `main`, and this is true. Latinx has a functional cost in that the Spanish language literally does not support the phonetics of Latinx. That phr
