Decentralization. Although this term does not yet apply to the avenues through which this outreach occurs, but give it ten to twenty years and that too will change.

Hands down, the number one problem in hiring and retaining senior engineers is being able to match the compensation level. FAANG-type companies have a huge difference to practically everyone else. Startups, especially, can’t match the salar

Tone is relative. Although the words individually are not incindiary, the post being replied to was equally incindiary in nature. Subtlety in verbal attacks does not have true distinction, other than one having (weak) deniability of malevol

I actually gave a talk about automating influence on social media with what effectively amounted to chatbots, as a part of the 2016 election. Many of these factors were used, but also a few other interesting elements this article didn’t men

This isn’t always true, fortunately. I’ve seen JetBlue attendants yell at people who kept trying to jump in boarding classes. Line cutters are scum.

Why is this surprising? Their entire business model for having a news wing is to funnel traders into their terminal. Being the first to break market-relevant stories sounds like a plus, not a negative, even if the incentivization model is p

“Warning: if your threat model is a state-sponsored agency, you are better off without macOS, see OpenBSD.” While my excessively paranoid self is inclined to agree, I am curious as to the author’s reasoning here.

Having been in a mixed-race relationship where one partner is brown, I can tell you firsthandedly that if you think racism is rare, then you’re probably white or Asian or you have consistently lived in areas where racism is actually rare. I
