You’re not the target user here. In highly secure environments you can’t just “pip install your-thing”.

Can occur in a VPC without direct internet access. For the average developer this isn’t usually an issue but in highly secure corporate environments this helps a lot. Can’t just do pip install X in such situations. Even the S3 proxy solutio

Yes, it’s silly. See it all the time. Insist on FQDN and then aparently don’t understand what a FQDN actually is.

“Tammany Hall” is basically the answer to “why” for just about anything that happened in NYC prior to the 1960s :-)

The data for use in model training is worth far more to Palantir. They can spin it as being nice and helping with COVID-19 but in reality Palantir couldn’t buy this data even if they wanted to... so they got the U.K. government to give it t

Not a huge Airbus fan in general real but the A380 was a pleasure to fly. However Airbus was just wrong on the business side. It was the wrong plane built with old technology at the wrong time. It’s also not clear why Airbus didn’t focus mo

There’s a difference between censorship and a book publisher deciding they don’t want to publish or sell a book. This appears to be a case of the later. He’s free to print and distribute his book, but no private company is under any obligat

This is absolutely at the foundation. Would add to that get regular sleep and enough of it. At some level our bodies are like machines. Feed it crappy fuel (food) and don’t give it good maintenance (exercise and sleep) and it won’t run well

Most large corporate environments don’t have the CEO as the sole controlling shareholder in the company. While CEOs are powerful and have a lot of autonomy on day-to-day decision making they too are generally employees employed at the discr

Zuckerberg has always made it clear to investors and employees that Facebook is not a democracy. Mark is in charge and has full control of the company to do as he pleases when he pleases. When they IPOed he made it clear that’s how the comp

At this point in the US most companies will refuse to say anything about you other than confirming that you worked there and what your title was. To do anything more is a potential litigation minefield. Laws are getting tighter too. It’s no

This is a very hard problem and thinking a product could do this without extremely high error rates is naive. Any implementation should use this as a supplement only, not replacement for humans. For example a human watching 10 checkouts and

Never sure what to think when reading these articles. Sad story but what he did is tantamount to taking your whole net worth and betting in black in roulette. Do you feel bad if the person loses? Doing this as a side bet with some extra mon

Seems to be very localized ups and downs. In the core of cities prices are crashing and people are trying to get out. Meanwhile in surrounding suburbs prices are rising and people and getting into bidding wars. It seems that many want to st

This may not be nice or demonstrating customer obsession but it is probably a good way for them to make money with business customers. For better or worse Zoom has obtained “iPhone status” in corporate IT. What killed the Blackberry was whe

Yes, but with caveats. This is what happened with call centers in the US which broadly went to places like India with big outsourcing firms. That back-fired big time when the quality of service went to crap with companies rushing to bring t

Will admit to bing one of those that watch some of the adverts to the end. It’s certainly compelling and engaging filmmaking. The content is good. Criticisms that the content is often shallow and more about the person than the topic are fai

There are some legacy things in place for now, but not building anything new there now. It’s basically off the table for new builds.

Most going this direction are, rightly, treading WFM as people treated travel reductions. Few are saying you never work face to face for any reason ever... but it shouldn’t be the default without any reason. For better or worse the days of

In articles NYT reporters have often shamed their own site for the number of 3rd party trackers the site uses. I’m guessing a combination of that reporting, a general public shift against this sort of thing, along with serious questions abo

There was a lot of talk and press about how Jet was struggling to integrate into the Wal-Mart way both technically and culturally. What will happen to the Jet office and team in Jersey? Will that just become a Wal-Mart Office now?

The first time I got in an Uber and saw a Lyft sticker in the window and a driver with two phones on the dash is when I knew for sure this whole “new economy” was doomed. Both the user and the supplier we’re just gaming multiple apps to fin

Yes, it’s as if the business models of these companies have forgotten all about price elasticity... especially when the “price” is crazy low (because you’re losing money hand over fist)

Yes, the cost of customer acquisition is certainly part of the current mess. While probably not strictly a gross margin issue, in practice it in effect is since that is very much a direct cost associated with the transaction. There are cert

The bogus Adjusted EBITDA metrics popular with financially unhealthy startups and others really does need to stop. In most cases these metrics may as well just say “Hey, if for a moment you ignore all the things about our business model tha
