Having spent some time with Google as SWE, I think Google was by far the best engineering company I have worked with. Even Amazon, Microsoft were terrible when it comes to software engineering. I am one of those engineers who do not care ab

BS. Most cars drive on freeways and interstates most of the time, especially the large trucks etc. traffic in residential areas is generally pretty low and it more only during mornings and evenings. This is just war on cars.

P2P is a loss making feature for nearly everyone involved. If you have some other way to obtaining users and maintaining growth, you are better off not supporting P2P payments. P2P payments are also extremely tiny portion of revenue.

California's politicians are corrupt and incompetent. PG&E is a great example of this. PUC of California is supposed to protect consumers but consumers right now are paying record high energy prices in California for a third rate s

No one is forced to use G or M but they make better products. It is not monopoly. There are excellent alternatives available very easily. Comcast, ATT are different. You simply dont have much of a choice even in cities meant for internet. S

This is not a forum of geopolitics experts but I think this wars is the biggest threat we currently have for tech progress. If Russia takes over Ukraine next step would be proxy wars in Europe, breaking down EU/NATO coupled with US dom

Other than garbage airlines like Frontier, I have never had reasons to complain about any American airlines that much. Competition is so fierce that they all are pretty bad in my opinion.

I think we should all take a pause and just appreciate the amazing work Google, OpenAI, MS and many others including those in academia have done. We do not know if Google or OpenAI or someone else is going to win the race but unlike many ot
