I think this write up is very fair for a solid engineering team. Is it groundbreaking and eye opening? Absolutely not, I’d say the most “hmm I didn’t know that” part of the entire thing was the part about R-Trees and S2. Is that bad? Absolu

P2P is for decentralization. Why would a centralized entity want to implement a decentralized service when they can create a centralized version of that same service faster, easier, and cheaper? P2P is _hard_ with a capital H.

Gonna just chime in and mention Yahoo for Hadoop (yes I know Big Table was Google), and Zookeeper. Great tech started at Yahoo, but they didn’t (unlike today) make too much of a fuss/self-pat-on-the-back about it

I think you’ve mentioned a HUGE part of the interview process that interviewers forget: you only have 60 mins. 45 mins if you leave time for questions (which you always should). It’s an incredibly difficult task, and deserves significant ef

Funny you mention this, I was just reading [1]this article related to the quote on "putting your eggs in one basket". Conventional wisdom says "diversify". However, I'm of the belief that you'll need high risk

I mean seriously though. I love how various media platforms ALWAYS talk about Bitcoin as a failure. What? But then again, they only think of “success” as some idea cut from the same cloth as current capitalist alternatives - the very altern
