Tl;dr it will take a lot longer than most people expect to get back to ‘normal’. Summer 2021 being normal is a maybe at best.

I'm glad it's out there - for most people, the 'boring' software dev career at a larger tech company is better off financially at critical junctions in your life and often lets you solve more challenging/advanced pr

It’s as if DB want to be hated even more. Is their business model tied to doing the most evil things possible?

I think the difference now is that even a small company can aggregate data from all over the world which makes it more valuable- therefore a good data scientist/ engineer can be paid more than just ‘middle class’

I think the central banks and government will prevent any future collapse of that scale. Don’t fight the fed. They have more money than you.

If this is just retirement money, so what? It rebounded pretty well since.

But as things get automated and cheaper that’s actually negative gdp growth. So it won’t pay your retirement

The rich will not give away their stuff. You’d probably have to give away 90% of your wealth to be level with the rest of the world. Also it is communism and it doesn’t work in practice.

Question: now that we know that Intel is dead and stuck on 14nm process why has the share price not tanked yet? I mean it should be trading on the future PE?

How much iron is wasted in the process? I’m pretty sure they are not able to recycle 100% of the oxide and there must be some material losses. Also what temperature do they need ? I assume they are making their own bottles so I wonder if a

There is a huge difference between trading binary options or spread betting and holding a portfolio of FAANGS stocks. It’s very unlikely that you will lose 100% of your money if you’re holding more than 1 stock. Even ‘dead’ stocks like Boei

The way the market is structured retail traders are indeed the tail. You have founders, seed rounds, angel investors, VCs, Private Equity and maybe eventually public stock market. So by the time retail traders get their hands on it, the va

you misunderstood - it's not limited to cryptocurrency or even DLT - in making the whole scheme elaborate you bypass the traditional AML/KYC regulations - anyone can buy your 'token' without setting up a legal account o

why does it need a distributed blockchain though? Why not just put it in a database?

It's a virus not a bacteria so the proteins don't disintegrate. The probability of transmission outside is small as sensibly people limit the time outside, but the flipside is they stay indoors, in confined spaces together, which

Articles like this make me wonder how everything even works if basic math functions can be so wrong and how a simple concept like floor can have different definitions/ implementations

I’m happy to hear what’s on the market currently. I’m still using older Apple hardware which works flawlessly. I wish they’d kept the network products in production.

Well, the country is reliant on tourism. But bad apples are everywhere, I think such people need to be held against their will until they are no longer dangerous to others.

Both AWS and Azure will still grow, but with macro situation as it is, a slowdown is almost expected therefore prices in.

Not an expert at all but moderate dosage should have no side effects. Regular Overdose by 2000-3000% can have some long term negative effects.

Multi generation homes used to be norm but societies became wealthy enough to move away from that ( and various frictions it creates) looks like we’re literally moving back. Good for the environment, bad for the economy and mental well bein

Great Britain is now much more desperate. It needs to compete for market share and access to markets like a 3rd world country but without the associated cheap labour so high tech is one of the few anchors where Britain might have USP. But

Yeah, but it’s not cheaper than AWS or rather it can’t be profitably cheaper IMO because of lack of scale. So as long as AWS option is good enough, as a CFO I’d go in that direction. Nebulous claims like cloud neutrality don’t pay the bill

In the broader market there’s still hype for SaaS businesses which Redis can easily become because everyone wants to be a rentier and earn passive income.

This is such FUD. I run a company in Poland and pay flat 19% on profits. You can also choose to pay 32% but you can then include a lot more expenses. If somehow you feel neither option is good enough for you, you can run your business fr

Interesting but the way you phrased it, doesn’t sell it particularly well - it seems to simply hide the underlying dependency complexity a few layers below. It’s still a node.js app with all the pros and cons of npm etc.

Arguably Pieter might be at this point already and he doesn’t care. With the right tech and more people he could scale some of his businesses further but he deliberately doesn’t want that as its diminished returns for him, personally.
