I feel the same way. There’s a shift that happens at around 80 people where not everyone rows in the same direction. Incentives become different because not everyone “lives and dies” together or by the same metric. By the time you are at bi

I see so this may be semantics then as the article agrees with intuitive decision making. I think I understand where we’re saying the same things. I will consider replacing my terminology in the future, thank you!

Respectfully, I don't think you took away the correct implications. Specifically in the implications section of [1]: "The key to effective intuitive decision making, though, is to learn to better calibrate one’s confidence in the

I don't want to argue the basis of system 1/system 2 as described in [1], because the point I'm taking away is more about whether they interoperate at times of decision making. The point I'm making is system 2 is a far m

Catering to the masses is indicative of catering to system 1 thinking. System 1 thinking is extraordinarily cheap compared to system 2. When a movie has good cover art, an alluring trailer and one name you've heard of before, it is goo

Years ago I was building a search engine from scratch (back when that was a viable business plan). I was responsible for the crawler. I built it using a distributed set of 10 machines with each being able to make ~1k queries per second. I g

This is so interesting! I noticed a sign while driving yesterday that was unbranded saying "high speed internet" and an arbitrary local phone number. I presumed it could be a reseller but my mind started turning on how I could cre

This assumes the client can keep state in a more reasonable way than a server can piece it together. Definitely a stateful event is more powerful but is likely more lossy. From what I've seen tracking simple events and then piecing the

I'm certain this type of data is tracked on most devices. In an optimistic outlook it drives a better customer experience because AMZN can capture trends in data to discover things like "oh people change the page forward too frequ

I couldn't agree more. I think our entire tech interview system exists to find people who fit the role you defined above. I wrote a post on this describing my thoughts [1]. What's strange is so many companies brag about how they h

I don't believe DNS supports regex and in fact a comment thread from 2010 on OpenDNS specifically states they do not support it [1]. A very simple solution for this is a load balancer. Nginx [2] works quite well and routing is a breeze

I think I fall somewhere on the spectrum between detaro and avree. There are times where embedding content into emails is incredibly simple (I do it all the time with screenshots rather than sending links that require auth.) However I also
