I think they presented it wrong for impact. If instead of "killed" and "eliminated" they were saying that the internet made it possible to proceed without a sales team and that cloud computing made it possible to not nee

In a similar vein, Instagram was the first platform where I actually took a pause and realized someone had actually figured out how to give me appealing advertising over the internet. I don't use Facebook to know how they differ, it ma

The 30 days part is most likely a legal compliance bit to cover their asses if their backing data systems ever take a big dump. They need to use an asynchronous system to be tracking when your chat becomes "finished" and then like

Was MBS (mortgage backed securities) a typo here? My understanding was SVB had a huge long term treasury position on the books from before interest rate hikes that was in the red against the market. And their second largest tier was direct

Why does high school have to go first in the morning? When I was in elementary school I would wake up at 5:30-6am naturally and watch TV before school. Come high school and I was constantly not getting enough sleep with the earlier start ti

I would have to defer to one of my colleagues for most of the details on running data infrastructure on Kubernetes, I’m not that close to that domain. The major ones we run are HBase, Vitess (MySql), Kafka, Elasticsearch, Memcached, and Zoo

Your observations are correct. I wouldn’t portray it as an ideal system, just best effort. In the end we care more about the finer details being good funnels to follow up on rather than being exact. We know our real costs of resources, whic

You’re right, it’s not an either or for this as we tackle both less total data and making it smaller, although I probably failed to clarify that in this first post. At 20% of storage costs, the should makes a lot of sense to focus on. Once

That's a fair criticism in the edit. Part 2 will cover that a bit more. I did run analysis on the types of queries users ran against the data and what parts of the timeseries were used, which informed a bit of our solution. I don'

(Author here). Yes I believe you are correct with regards to tracking application utilization of say EC2 and other AWS resources. The post fails to mention this system is also tracking internal data dimensions like customer ids, such that w

It's a bit more complicated though, interest rates are part of that function too. Low prices & low interest rates: great for new entries to homeownership, but would require a surplus of housing Low prices & high interest rates:

Is it really a negative feedback and not just transient though? Sure it may cool things during the fire, but it also just destroyed some carbon sinks and worsened the overall emissions effect. Then the fire ends and it no longer has any coo

Stardock released their own spiritual successor already, so give that a try if you want. And as far as I'm aware the original creators are still working on their own successor.

I don't think Scala Native would be a good fit with Apache Spark. Starting with their work in 2.0, the Spark framework already started doing things like working with sun.misc.Unsafe for direct memory control over certain operations. I

Certainly getting into the conspiratorial, but telco providers have this concept of zero-rating for content they don't want applied to data rates. For example, there are zero-rating projects for stuff like calls to analytics platforms.

I think there is a growing dichotomy of companies. The ecosystem I'm exposed to, 6 figures for mid-level seems normal. I'd only imagine the very early stage startups would fall outside that. This is in Boston proper and Cambridge.
