I don’t like most thing FB/Meta does. But, I must admit they are the only big tech sharing so much openly. Other big tech should take Meta as an example here. I thought I’d never say this : good job Zuck on AI!

Yes, but in majority of cases you still need some legal entity that can convert crypto to fiat so you can actually buy stuff with real money. Would be enough to forbid that and crypto is pretty much done.

I don’t watch Netflix anymore because there is no content worth paying for. I kept it for a while because my kids were watching cartoons now on paramount+. So I cancelled Netflix and now enjoying some quality content on paramount like start

Parents should chillout; my kids go to private schools, they have a great math program but even that is not enough and most of their friends end up taking additional math class outside school. I refuse to do that for my kids. The amount of

Negotiation is all about leverage. More often than not leverage is on the employer side. People look for a job because they most likely need one; unless they are in the fortunate position of working for fun and they don’t want to retire jus

Annotations are a great way to get rid of boilerplate and noisy code. For instance, I find Spring @Transactional a much more effective, less bug prone and productive way of dealing with db tx vs having to manual code and handle exceptions,

I don’t think 225 or even 300 would be enough. Especially if you have kids. I don’t think people truly realize how home ownership has become completely out of reach for most, even for tech workers.

The only reason I still pay for the most basic Netflix subscription is my kids, otherwise I would have cancelled it.

I really hope this is the end of complicated reactive frameworks! I love the old blocking spring controller paradigm, thread local and so on. It makes things much easier. Never liked webflux, so complicated and hard to debug. Simple things

Prices are driven up by people’s inability to be financial savvy. People keep overpaying for things like cars and houses. Any drop in prices by few % makes it look like a great deal, and people fomo into it; when in fact prices are still in

Especially for seasonal trips, people will start cutting out abnb. It is advantageous for both parties. Airbnb fees are outrageously high, plus I have to basically cleanup the entire house before leaving. They are like car dealers, they get

Still, I don’t see OpenAI having a strategic advantage. Until today, Google still has a defacto monopoly on search. Their secret sauce made them leader in the space and so far no other company has been able to come up with something better.

What’s OpenAI long term strategic advantage? Google, has already shown they have something like ChatGPT. They just need a new CEO and to feel enough pressure to make it a company priority. I think it is just a matter of time and all other b

You should have read my first comment where I said that it is not convenient _unless_ you can charge it at home. And here you are … “thanks to solar panels” … you are the exception not the rule. Many people don’t live in houses, let alone h

When you start getting closer to $0.20/kWh https://www.fueleconomy.gov/ then there is no much different between EV and hybrid. If you then account for the fact that EVs can easily go for a +$10k over the hybrid equiv

EV are still too expensive and if one does not have a charger at home, it does not save that much money over ICE, plus it comes with the inconvenience of wasting time waiting for charging. It is that simple.

Google has shown they can build amazing AI that can play chess and go, nice … then what? They built borg and gave k8s to the world and then what? OpenAI took the stage on ChatGPT and AWS dominates the cloud. This goes back to way promotions

How much of their revenue came in because of acquisitions like Segment? That said, sustainable growth is ok, Twilio's head count growth was "wild" to put it mild.

That's insane! I think a good future indicator before joining any company is their hypergrowth ... avoid at all cost. Smoke and mirrors. When you hear CEOs blathering on doubling, tripling etc .. headcount ... run ...
