Yeah but you can spin up everything you need in a day. Then you can shut it all down. If you’re a startup, it can make a ton of sense.

Yeah. There’s a lot of startups, but only a few that are actually promising from a risk reward perspective. VC investing is about home runs. So they all fight over investing in a few companies

People are too focused on data collection. We get it, surveillance is everywhere. It’s taking up a quarter of the front page at any given time. Anyone have anything intellectually novel to say? Or can I go write a bunch of articles about the same topic?

Propaganda

Herman Miller chair

Almost everything in society is built by a few people. The best ideas and processes come from a small minority, the rest of us are just along for the ride

I completely agree. This level of censorship is indicative of something.

Yes this is true. But there aren’t that many of those jobs.

It’s only big deal in the USA because outside FAANG, technology really doesn’t pay that well. There are a few other companies, but your income is capped elsewhere

It’s a violation of the constitution for an individual state to change voting laws like that

Election rules were changed in unorthodox ways due to a global pandemic. You have to admit that the election was unlike any other on recent memory.

The losing side, given this unorthodox election, wanted some validation of results, as well as to legally challenge the way they were done (PA's changes).

The response was one of derision and essentially shutting out the right from discourse. No effort was made a conciliation. This had the predictable effect of galvanizing people that there was indeed fraud.

If you think that these people had no reason to be angry, you aren't paying attention. If you can understand the frustrations and lead up to the BLM movement, but don't even want to pay lip service to this, you are either a horrible person or stupid. Take your pick: evil, ignorant, or both?

Get really good at cdk

Propaganda

I can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not

FAANG -> put all extra money into the stock market

I know you’d like to believe this. But I see a constant stream of challenging software problems at FAANG

Nobody trusts the media. So people will believe what they want. There’s no source of truth

Funny to hear the difference in press coverage between this and BLM

Hey! Made this as a throwaway. I’m an SDE 2 at Amazon. Currently looking for an opportunity to leave the corporate world and build something new. My skill set is AWS stack, big data, machine learning, some React. I’ve spent considerable time on large scale distributed systems/spark/ml research. I love to code, especially when not encumbered by enterprise systems. Previously I worked in investment research and had a minor machine learning startup exit. If anyone is interested in a technical cofounder I would be great! For reference, I have about 7 years experience.
