When I interned at AT&T a few years ago, I asked a manager I respected whether they were worried about Google Fiber coming in and eating their lunch. "No", he said. "We'll sue them for every mile of fiber they lay do

Okay, I like how backwards compatibility is preserved. I worked with mongoDB at my previous company and we ended up not being able to migrate to mongoDB 3.x. I think it was because we forked 'eve-mongoengine' and couldn't mer

Congratulations on the funding! I don't understand under what specific use case ArangoDB works best; the comparisons section lists Cassandra and Neo4j, and my understanding was Cassandra was for something like chat apps and Neo4j was f

Wow, this is really cool! I built something kind of similar after college as a proof-of-concept and to learn JavaScript/React: https://yingw787.github.io/traveltile_docs/ I worried about the monetization model, si

If you haven't seen this Twitter thread, it is a good read. Tune your credibility factor to maybe 0.6-0.8 before diving in. https://twitter.com/atomicthumbs/status/1032939621636661248

I think that's true to a point, but we are way past that point. We're at the point where when the government works with the private sector, a worse result is created than if the government had created it alone, or if the private s

It's a conflict of interest of course. The good thing is that it hurts a lot of people, especially people with disposable income with the power to change things, and especially people with stores of capital/influence. It's

And then there was one. I do wonder if we can halt and revert the deterioration of the Civil Service before the whole "civilization is two days worth of food and water" scenario arrives. If it does, I think it'll be through s

Documentation and variable naming are not dumb enough. Remove all documentation and use Hungarian notation incorrectly and I'll invest.

I know some people who develop on top of Tensorflow; from my conversations with them, Tensorflow's moat is Google making a lot of breaking changes by incorporating a lot of new functionality. I've also heard complaints that the on

Maybe. At least our company won't touch GPL code; as one colleague described to me, if you violate a proprietary license, a company will come after you for money, while violating a GPL license gets the EFF involved who will come after

So...what is the future of enterprise open source? Is there a future for enterprise open source? If you start a company and open source your core/clients, your product becomes part of AWS, and AWS runs you into the ground. If you mix i

This is really cool Tom! A couple of questions: - I don't have an electric car charger, but my understanding is that the charger is usually located inside a garage, meaning that the host would have to let the driver into the garage&#x2

I'm not a manager, but I've been in some leadership positions in the past, and I can say my efficacy came from my ability to persuade others to do the things I wanted to accomplish, and trust/delegate to others much of the ex

And it's a wrap! A big congratulations for all those who made this possible, public and private entities. The United States has almost restored its ability to send manned crews to space, via re-usable, cheap, and privately funded/

Ah, gotcha. I was thinking of the latter, haven't seen the former. I still think it's an induced, unnecessary dependency and I'm not sure I myself would trust something like this. But best of luck to the creators, I hope thei

I think our company has a policy against using shortened URLs, namely because: - If the company goes out of business, then our documentation and business logs have a lot of dead, useless links that can't be fixed after the fact. If it&

I don't get why there aren't any laws formulated at the federal level to ban cashless stores. Not accepting the U.S. dollar as direct payment is pretty much refuting the sovereignty of the U.S. government, no? It also concentrates

It will be cool to see how they evolve the design language as the product lineup widens. I wonder if they will still go for "sleek", or if "boxy" will be in.

I'm less comparing the helicopter approach with airplanes, and more comparing them to multirotors, where I think a lot of the autonomous flight hype is coming from, and where the use cases substitute rather than complement each other.

I think Sikorsky's probably ahead in the race for realistic autonomous flight. Sikorsky isn't a trendy/hot company by any means, but they're reliable, they deliver, and they have the contact infrastructure with FAA and N

Interesting proposal! I have a number of questions: - How much configuration is still required by the end user to leverage Dockup? How would it be different from a Vagrant/Docker setup where you would define a Vagrantfile and Dockerfil

Been experiencing robocalls too. I use Hiya, but it's not a complete solution. Now I just let every call I don't recognize go to voicemail unless they call twice. It really sucks for the elderly, the sick, and the otherwise vulner

What exactly is Canadian data? Is it data generated by Canadian citizens? What if people change citizenships? Is it data generated by all people on Canadian soil? What if you post something while transiting the Arctic Circle in an airplane?

I think high rent prices are bad for a number of reasons: Less flexibility in starting a company: You can't choose to bootstrap unless you do it as a side hustle at a megacorp, and it's hard to not compete with a megacorp because

A number of questions: Do you guys support fuzzing by protocols? Syscalls, REST, or SQL? It might be faster to extend protocol fuzzing than fuzzing by language (I'm not sure though). It'd be cool to have a fuzzer for Apache Calcit
