This is so true. Now I know how to describe the work I'm doing!
I like the analysis and optimism in this article, but it does not answer a key question: who would pay for this social network that truly "brings the world closer together", if not advertisers? What is the business model?

I notice that many people of the tech industry are heavy Twitter users, from CEOs of big companies to startup founders and hackers. If I want to get a sense of what topics people in tech are talking about this week, which Twitter accounts should I follow?
Some of my friends are using OnePlus and very happy about it. They praised the high refresh rate of the screen and the camera. Their version of Android is also pretty clean, comparing to other brands like Samsung.

What would be the ideal situation? Like you said, having too many competing companies doesn't lead to great services at low cost because of the extra overhead and lack of volume, and having a monopoly gives one company too much power, then isn't duopoly a nice equilibrium?
These heuristics are interesting. Do you have concrete numbers for some of the big techs?
Not just NA, all EMEA employees are recommended to WFH as well, with the exception of Italy, which is mandatory WFH. Anyone know how other companies in FAANG are handling EU offices? Situation there seems direr than the U.S...
As a user, I do find AMP pages load faster than canonical pages and provide a more consistent experience across sites.
I wonder if publishers that put resources into building AMPs see increased traffic to their website? If so, that's a win-win situation.
I think if you work on a stable piece of software with good test coverage and CI/CD process for a long time, you'd meet all 3 requirements and develop good intuition about that system.
How valuable that intuition is and whether it is transferrable to other system is another question.
My intuition tells me that these three conditions are correct. Should I trust it?
While these conditions intuitively make sense, the example that he used to support his conclusions feels very weak. If the only information I know about this person is she read fluently at a young age, I don't think I can make a good guess of her GPA in college at all. There's no "right intuition" in this case, because so many other variables are in play.
