To recap: - no one locked down APIs - you could access a wide variety of them - no limits on them - they were slow and unreliable As APIs became reliable & fast, they imposed limits on them So not sure what was lost considering it soun

Yeah, that’s my point. It’s not like they’re dumped onto the side of the yard, when they get decommissioned they end up going into these or parts can come out of them. People make these comments then have no problem swapping their car out e

The cognitive dissonance that happens with tech workers believing their own work isn’t some form of blood money in the end is comical.

Heroic feels a bit strong, but overdue I would agree. It’s an area that’ll always exist and has been neglected by US industries outside of the company’s that are just government contractors (General Dynamic, Lockheed, etc) as the supply poo

Yeah, I’ve lived the life of straddling .NET Core and ASP.NET while also dealing with React vs Angular2+ and having half of the system in the script bundling hell that was razor views and all sorts of craziness. That experience is actually

This exact type of thing is why when I switched to the dark side (product) and sat in management meetings where often non-technical folks would go “we could measure by lines of code or similar” for productivity I often pointed out how that

Don’t worry about it, fair question and I wouldn’t waste calories on folks who can’t find it to be kind, especially with the job market as rough as it is now. Good luck, you got this.

They can and will. California will go after you for them. Happened to a friend who had documented 7 months in another state.

Yup, I hated reviewing California based book of business. Everyone is upset their rate is going up but the issue is lack of ability to use predictive underwriting because of what you said and more.

This is always a fun topic for me. If everybody is sharing all the risk that’s the same thing (obviously I’m being simplistic) as them underwriting the risk themselves.

Yeah but that’s compounded by access to the information & who do you trust. Also human nature is to look at the odds and not believe you’re going to be that 1 in 125,000 :)

Yes but less so on the rates themselves & rather do you have enough cash to stay alive without going under. They’re obviously related but less regulatory focus on rates, more on cost of business and that. Edit: Basically you can run at

Yeah, sure shoot me a DM and when I’m back later at my computer I have some. I didn’t deal much on commercial insurance btw, I have _some_ awareness of that.

Premiums is what I’m referencing, yeah. So, it’s a complex thing but the state has a vested interest in drivers being insured because of state / federal funding for roads, infrastructure and all of that. The original intent was to stop

I’m not sure you read my post then as it explains I’ve seen first-hand actual loss data because of supply chain & other costs leading to an unprofitable offering being denied by the state without any valid rationale other than “he didn’

by brogrammernot 2y ago
Yup, exactly. Even worse for the consumer is that insurance rules say you have to “offer” insurance in the state to get your license. Well, you don’t want to drop your license but really don’t want to have a bunch of policies. What do you d

by brogrammernot 2y ago
It is through reinsurance mechanisms and the way you build the portfolio. If you can’t use predictive attributes, many not allowed in California, you’re not going to get reinsurance interest because you can’t really balance the risk across

Their comment didn’t add anything to the conversation, contrasted with yours I’m sure you can see the difference. I agree with your commentary, my point was that they’re (insurance companies) unable to use the information they learn or newe

Thanks for the insightful and thought-provoking comment.

Alright, I spent years working and building 0-1 insurance products. Let me peel back some stuff that’s been happening behind the scenes. Some officials are elected and some are appointed which all depends on the state. Appointed officials a

That’s quite a stretch of a comparison. You would expect a bicycle from a bicycle manufacturer and be rightfully upset or annoyed if they sent you a unicycle but presented it as a bicycle. It’d be generous to say Gemini is even producing a

Completely agree. Friends who work in the shoe trade industry also say it’s nonsense. Jordans have been and continue to be one of the most sought after shoes for people’s collections. Edit: yes, it’s wild but there’s a market for collectibl

Looking at the flights and seat map, looks like most of the seats are pay to upgrade for the extra legroom. Is that what you mean with like 40% of the plan having extra legroom? Options seem to be: “Standard legroom (79 cm/31 in) Conve

When I was a developer, nothing extra. Now that I don’t write production code and run teams, direct reports don’t either but I keep track & tell them to take a Friday off or log off early to help make up the difference. If they aren’t g

Super interesting. So, Houston to LHR or is it Houston to Amsterdam? I’m from the southwest so Houston ain’t a bad jump since I usually have to go through LAX.
