I've turned down actual offers because even some medium-sized companies won't tell you which team you'll be working on when the offer is extended. I get that things can be fluid, but its such a meat machine.

Investors pull the strings. The behavior isn't the result of an investment, but failing to implement procedures after the fact to stop future incidents definitely can be. Not through action, but through inaction. Meaning, more ethical

Looks great. My main complaint is that the templates feature appears to be reinventing Terraform. Would have been cool if we could use the Terraform templates we already have, or even provide support for CloudFormation (given this is an AWS

But single node with unlimited room to grow is always a good value prop. Cockroach can market that, but Spanner can't.

I can't generalize for every school, or everyone at every school. I attended an engineering program at one of the top 5 schools by total international student population. Honestly, international students are cliquey. Many of them that

But the most successful products tend to be ones that can scale from zero to global. DynamoDB is a great example.

Given that Spanner starts at $650/mo/node + storage costs, I think Cockroach could still see huge usage as a self-hosted alternative.

Its probably a class size of 2, with Amazon. Beyond those two though, no one else is close.

When I say MacBooks... I mean the MacBook Pros. As in, what this article is talking about. Apple never reduced the size of the MB battery by 30%. Or added a second screen. Or kept performance they same (they improved performance gen-over-ge

Everyone talks about the downsides of the new MacBooks. No one talks about about how they reduced the size of the internal battery by 30%, effectively added a second screen, improved overall performance, and still kept the same battery life

This isn't true on the span of a single year due to market volatility.

Most people (think: GNU wizards) who do projects like this don't want to monetize; not for capability reasons, but for philosophical and social reasons. They think monetization is against some principal of free software, or their moral

It is his responsibility to capture the value of his work. The world does not owe him this. The world doesn't owe him anything unless he demands it. You're asking to have your cake and eat it to: Give software away (altruism) but

Honestly, I'm 100% more fine with Apple spying on me than pretty much anyone else. I'm less perturbed with the entire concept of spying than I am with who is doing it.

It is so concerning to me that the company has committed to spending an average of $400M per year on cloud infra when their revenue is only $200M, and they've revealed that user growth slowed from 17% to 3% in the quarter Insta release

Did you seriously just suggest that Amazon is generally regarded as a pleasant place to work? Amazon, the company that not 3 months ago, had an employee attempt to kill himself by jumping off of one of their buildings after being put on an

No. In what world would Snapchat be paying the rates that you pay at your Denver colo center? Why is that even relevant? They pay what Google charges them, which is $0.08/GB egress. Probably less due to negotiated bulk discounts.

by 010a 10y ago
I'm not so sure. $33M would buy 412PB of egress alone. At 160M daily active users, that's roughly 2GB per user. In just bandwidth. That's high, and they've probably negotiated some deals to lower their bills, but also co

That's true, but Intel has as much to lose as AMD if that cross-licensing deal is terminated. So I'd imagine that Intel would want to re-negotiate it with the new party, which is obviously a possibility.

People also die. By your definition, are all people destined to fail because we all die? Is no one worth remembering, or being called "successful"?

Horizon is a scary recommendation right now given the recent shuttering of RethinkDB (the company). It might still be a great choice, but I would give the community some time to coalesce and see where things end up before recommending it fo
