it would be great if it were as simple as re zoning. unfortunately it's not so easy. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/03/11/upshot/office...

>how many colleagues from your previous jobs do you really keep in touch?

i still hang out with people i met at my previous job over 5 years ago.

power outages that aren't weather related are not increasing. https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/surging-weath...

When there's only two competitors and the margin is only 20% in some subset of the population, that's not "very high market share." EU-wide, Android is >70%.

this is just not at all true -- companies have private betas that they monetize all the time. yes, the company provides lower guarantees on the product being supported. but the customer gets to use a product far before they normally would if they waited for general availability. that's the core of the idea behind a beta, not related to if it's paid or not

how do you define "real value" for products? i guess it must not have anything to do with profit in your world?

lol, what are you talking about? they do give a date. and the date given is so absurdly soon that they couldn't possibly hit it even if they got millions of $ in orders.

> Orders ship by November 2023 from San Francisco, CA. Short production run, these will sell out very soon. Free shipping to anywhere in the world. Return for any reason within 2 weeks of receiving your order.

are you considering using this in production somewhere in the next few days? your reply comes off as absurdly aggressive, especially when you mention no intention of supporting the project monetarily. and that's on top of this question being addressed already, as other commenters pointed out.

maybe don't come in so hot next time.

source? does not seem like it based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_private_equity_and_...

it's even simpler: stop using C/C++. responsible for 70% of CVEs.

what makes you say all of a sudden?

FINRA works pretty well

i always cringe when i see Singapore used as a comparison point with developed nations. it's a single city and has an authoritarian government. how is that at all an apples to apples comparison?

While not as popular as he was, he's still pretty big. I think the main reason is likely because he hasn't published a new book since 2019, though that's coming in September later this year.

This is mentioned in the second sentence of the linked article.

Any sources for these claims?

>You don't pay someone $200k to churn out CRUD

I've got some bad news for you about what 90% of FAANG work is like

>Graham's manager told him something stunning: The finished project, which Graham worked on for more than a month, wouldn't see the light of day.

are you kidding? I've worked on projects way longer that ended up getting scrapped, and multiple times at different FAANGs. this guy must be quite inexperienced to be "stunned" by this.

if you don't want this risk, go to a smaller company. it's really that simple

Uber is not profitable

you ask for a solid source but provide among the shakiest of sources yourself

that's what in store pick up means -- you still get the phone right away.

IMO code review is way too late to be talking about API semantics unless you're at a really tiny startup. Once you get to even 100 engineers, this stuff needs to be hashed out with stakeholders before you start writing code. this can be as easy as a 10 minute conversation, but sometimes it's not so simple and doing it up front will save you tons of time.

>it’s like a room on a cruise ship — the boat is gonna sail one way or another. So it has to be sold.

super shaky reasoning. the less rooms that get sold, the less likely future ships are to sail or even be built. individual decisions matter in aggregate

whenever you see the word "systemic," you can be sure that what follows is going to be painting in broad strokes at a population level and not something that is actually relevant to decisions an individual can make.

our salaries are not insane given how much value is created. the amount that is captured by peak capitalists is insane.

ultimately you need to get away from being reliant on a salary and become a capitalist yourself. otherwise you're just one of billions that are a few bad breaks away from starvation.

what is your definition of the word most? it's wrong.

> The lesson here is simple: you are living in a small niche. We all do. Your experience is not representative of anything but your own.

hmm, really disagree here. if you look at history the consolidation of "networks" is insane. we used to be way more fragmented, now if you pick the top 10 social networks worldwide you probably cover 90%+ of the internet connected population. hell, Facebook alone has 40% MAUs of all living humans!

a few hundred years ago what eg newspapers had that kind of reach? nothing even remotely in the same league.
