Lol. I would have thought it depended more on your relative position to the equator than on the season.

That's going to be interesting to see if others follow this as an anchor or buy more into the hype. Regardless it's still a large multiple of earnings...

Anthropic definitely needed money to continue to compete. That should relieve short-term pressure to go IPO in a possibly crowded field (SpaceX, OpenAI, ...).

That's patently false in my dialect at the very least... But also true that we have some strong local accents, and that people no matter their level should feel encouraged to at least try to speak French. It's the best way to lear

Them be fighting words! But as a native French speaker, I wholeheartedly agree that it is a tricky language. But there is so much pleasure in speaking it that I miss in English sometimes. Fabrice Lucchini (an actor) is speaking about the la

Thanks for the pointer, I hadn't. I think there is a couple of interesting things. First, it's still somewhat orthogonal to the High context versus Low context cultures (see the Culture Map), as in you can have people with more as

I know that's true, but I find that the images on my Pixel are starting to have a bit of an eery feel, with some of the details looking more and more like AI generated images. I'd give back a bit of the quality for more "natu

You're right but commercial leases for offices are usually multi year and larger companies usually sign longer leases (20, 30 years or more). They can be costly, though not impossible to wind down. So for those large companies, the sun

I'll let parent elaborate more on the intent, but the way I interpreted it was : Saying that a startup will fail (i.e. being a naysayer) and being right about that is the most likely outcome due to the current "success" distr

Agreed. To be fair, I doubt Maestro will take off like Airflow did. Airflow filled a void of an easier orchestrator for Big Data with a prettier UI than the competitors of the time (Oozie, Luigi), implementing some UX patterns which had bee

Sounds like a really good move by Databricks, in particular because a lot of the main platforms had implementations of catalogs to the Iceberg Spec, and several vendors, Snowflake included was starting to support Iceberg as an external Tabl

Oh could you expand briefly on what the stack looks like to accomplish this? Or do you have a write up on a blog/site you could share?

I live in the bay area, but yes a main is $15-25+ and anything fancy can go to ~$50. You need to add 9-10% sales tax + 15-20% tip. That's pretty pricey.

There is a bit of a bias to this. Higher salaries will get disclosed more, because if I get an offer below my current salary, then I can disclose and at the very least get a match or refuse the offer. At a lower salary, there is a higher p
