I understand that centralized systems are much more efficient than P2P when it comes to high bandwidth communication. But as of today, it would be possible to create a completely decentralized Snapchat (signed ephemeral videos that are shar

No, this incentivizes different models to reward content creators. Torrents are technologically a super efficient way to promote discovery. Off the top of my head, artists can make money off live events, live streams, interacting with their

Then make them take some tests to get accredited rather than an arbitrary income barrier, or net worth gatekeeping. According to that logic, someone with $2M net worth is just as likely to lose their shirt as someone with $50k net worth if

This would be more applicable if the interviewing process had any correlation with on the job expectations. Working on a job also requires: 1. Communication about expectations with team lead, PM and other stakeholders, vetting requirements,

FYI, interviewing.io has its own tech screen performed by codility.com. One of their questions could be likened to a novel, and by the time I read through what computations I would need to perform to alleviate the protagonist's issues,

My take on this is that: yes, a small minority of devs are substantially overpaid for their work right now. I don't think it will stop, since even if there is a glut of new developers, the ones with production experience at scale will

Always try new activities. Be on the constant lookout for activities/skills that can open your mind to new paradigms. Learning languages/instruments/martial arts comes to mind. Build relationships with people around you that

Smart move, indeed. A minor chance of contact with E.Coli seems more dangerous than documented certain heart disease, cancer, and wait for it.. more E.Coli!

This sounds very (pardon the pun) promising. The prison system in the US is skewed to punishment rather than rehabilitation and utilizing tech (intelligent calendar) will help reduce prevent people missing court dates. My only concern is ho

This illustrates the difference between having laws and enforcing them. Some countries have strict laws, but little enforcement, so marginalized people can break these laws as long as they fly under the radar. With technology, it becomes tr

In my experience so far (devOps and managing infrastructure) it is a great way to run one-off scripts in Python, JS and now Golang to invoke other services (eg. step functions, or other lambdas), publish to SNS topics or describe tables in

Seeing this from another perspective, shouldn't Reserve's engineering team have been able to pre-empt this kind of attack? If they could do a postmortem and determine the requests came from a single range of IP's (assumption)

Its not just work though. It can be learning a new framework to build an open source tool or something that can generate side income. And in my experience, I sometimes get unstuck on "work stuff" by a chance conversation at an eve

Its totally doable, just be wary of your surroundings and try to move with the flow of other bike traffic. Moving as a herd makes you more predictable to cars.

Perhaps self driving cars might never support highways in places with inclement conditions to begin with, which is totally fine. I agree with the other commenter about "smart" highways with embedded markers to let the vehicle know

I thought about this idea too, but in practice, this should be what equity/options is designed for. So, a promising developer at small company A gets a lower salary, but greater share of equity that he/she has to forgo if they lea

Yes, it is a metered connection, but unless you implement the metering, you don't know how much data you're leaking. For example, in some plans, Netflix data is not counted towards the plan.

The problem might be either: 1. Bitcoin is not a bubble, and this wealth transfer ends up benefiting some males substantially. 2. Bitcoin is a bubble, and the people arriving late to this party might end up being bag holders (women and men)

This is an interesting observation, but what would the ideal gender ratio even look like? In the software industry right now, it is still common to have teams with little to no representation of women on technical teams. The decentralized n

Hi Peter, thanks for doing this AMA. Is it true that your place of birth affects how long it takes to get a Green Card? I am a naturalized Canadian (on a TN Visa in the US), born in India, and entertaining thoughts of applying for a GC here
