Every person I personally know on this list made it their life mission to be on the list. It was lost on them that the whole thing has become a running joke that everyone else thinks is just full of grifters.

Another “30 under 30” grifter goes to jail. Separately, I hope a few folks at JPMC got fired over this. Even the most basic of due diligence should have caught this.

I see the string of “30 Under 30” being a statistically valid predictor of future likelihood to go to prison continues. These lists feed on the narcissistic tendencies of grifters who are desperate to get on the list and then tell you about

Impressive round but it seems unlikely this game can go on much longer before something implodes. Given the amount of cash you need to set of fire to stay relevant it’s becoming nearly impossible for all but a few players to stay competitiv

Who is “Swami?” Although I suppose that’s just making the point that Amazon’s folks aren’t recognized leaders in this space.

This is a pointless feature that’s easily bypassed if you know what you’re doing. It’s there so someone can check a compliance box to make an auditor that doesn’t know much about tech feel better. That’s it.

And yet ironically, in the US at least, there’s a decent chance that plumber actually makes more than a physician.

That’s the doomsday scenario and thankfully “completely useless” is quite unlikely. However all viruses mutate and so it’s only a matter of time before the current vaccines become gradually less effective. We give people 3-4 new vaccines a

It’s based on a sample and extrapolated out so it’s entirely possible initial immunity was overestimated. Possibility for bias in the sampling of who was tested and such. Hopefully it’s just a statistical fluke but everyone is sort of on ed

Summary: This is concerning because it may mean that people who were previously immune (had COVID) are no longer immune or a new strain is infecting people even though they had immunity to the original strain. Either of which, if true, woul

This comes up every time Assange comes up. He’s not being prosecuted for being a journalist. The US has very strong protections for journalism that stand up to just about anywhere—-and honestly look great compared to things that have happen

Very little in this post is true and highlights the sort of false image people paint of the US: - Most people work multiple jobs to make ends meet: False - Low income people don’t have health coverage: False - The US doesn’t have any form o

A long time ago the best talent from PhD programs tended to stay in academia. That was considered the “prize.” Over the last 15 years or so the tables have really turned. Not saying top people don’t stay, but I now see much if not most of t

LinkedIn seems to be populated mostly with people looking to impress other people on LinkedIn. Problem is the only people truly active are those trying to impress others and the people all these folks are trying to impress aren’t there (apa

The fact that static old school servers in the cloud are more expensive than hosting it yourself is news to precisely nobody. That’s not the business case for the cloud. In 2020 if your tech stack is still a monolith of giant servers on a r

This is great. For many high velocity low runtime workloads this is going to be a result in a significant cost savings.

The numbers you describe are an opportunity but also a big risk. The problem with these app-based businesses is that there’s little brand loyalty. They spend a ton of money to create a market and customer base and round about the time they

1) The assets are not liquid. 2) Because the assets are not liquid the “value” of the assets is highly debatable. (Value of your stock portfolio vs private equity holdings). 3) Some assets are not free to own. Simple example being property.

I again suggest looking at other retail models. Grocery stores, department stores and such operate a sizable part of their business by simply providing distribution and shelf space for goods. They don’t own all the inventory on their shelf.

by code4tee 6y ago
Is a traditional store also not a marketplace for product manufacturers and distributors to sell their wares? It operates the same way. Drop off a truckload of your stuff at mega-mart’s distribution hub and they take care of the rest via th

By this logic though shouldn’t “store brands” at the grocery store or “CVS brand” medicine at the drug store also be “illegal.” Both those surely look at which brands are selling before deciding to make a generic to put on the same shelf at

Agree, but I’d consider the photo quality printing to be more of an edge case for most users. If one just occasionally prints a few photos there are other inexpensive services available. But if that is the use case then yes I’d agree inkjet

Inkjets are just not great printers, especially if you print infrequently. Laser printers used to be an expensive luxury but they’ve long since become a commodity. Get a half decent laser printer and it will work fine even if you only print

If you’ve ever been in a company with a toxic leader you can relate. It will literally destroy everything in the company. The toxic leader usually thinks everyone else is the problem, causing them to double down. It’s a vicious cycle that’s

This doesn’t make sense. Domain registration is different than DNS. Many would argue keeping your domain registration separate is probably a good thing. Sounds like your problem was with the registrar (making it hard to update NS records to

You live in the middle of nowhere and appear on Zoom calls. The rest of your team meets with company leaders in person. Who do you think has the best relationship with the leadership? Not saying it’s impossible to do this remotely but when

I saw a great quote recently that said something like “Everyone loves work from home until you lose a deal to the competition that turned up to your customer in person.” There’s an element of truth to this. Best advice I’ve heard is to say

Most people’s TVs at this point are basically a 1080 monitor hooked up to a computer (cable box) so I don’t see this as a big challenge. If a monitor is needed they are quite inexpensive at this point compared to what they used to cost.

Please no more chatbots. Use the underlying tech to build a better search engine, but please stop recreating the concept of a search engine in a “chatbot.”

Half true. While they do merge old concepts into newer things in the process they tend to kill APIs that were in use and other key components that wrecks integrations with it uses of the original product.
