I have been reading a lot about computing revolution in 60s/70s. Seeing a lot of parallels to today. A bunch of enterprises spent millions on these IBM/DEC machines but didn't see any ROI. But then a lot of consulting and product companies popped up to help with that.
IBM/DEC had crazy high margins during this time (similar to Nvidia/micron etc) but all withered away eventually. In the end the...
Why isn't the stock down though? Was this priced in?
The twitter profile didn't say parody!
Experienced sought after talent wants to work from anywhere while the young fresh talent wants to work in person, unfortunately they won’t get the mentorship needed as the experienced folks are all remote
The house mortgate/equity ratio is much lower this time around 40%, vs 60% during the last bubble. That would actually protect housing prices this time around.
It came true, but instead of Python being fast, all the apps are slow. And we AWS is making $$$ hosting these Python apps on 10X bigger machines than what would be needed if written in a faster language
Super exciting. The question is would the world accept “better than human” results or would it expect 100% accuracy. Airplanes have been self piloting for years now. But pilots are still required by law
Almost flat subscriber base, 10% more revenue, ~5% decreased profits.

Apple is probably waiting for the EU laws which would actually force them to do this. Until then this would be on the backburner
Selectively restoring data only for certain rows is super hard. But the communications by Atlassian has been the worst I have ever seen in the industry.
So dropbox always deduped data at it’s backend without any such user facing change. How is this better than that?
For static websites, hosting them directly on S3 with cloudfront, or on cloudflare might be a better option?

hb.sbs -> How about some b*l s*t
Wondering if folks would be interested in a framework to run/deploy the self hosted items here easily on the public clouds..
Populism (from both sides) is going to destroy this economy
Neat demo. What are the scaling limitations?
Don't trust the current super old and not at all tech savvy government to do the right thing. But I do believe the anti-trust laws must be updated for tech.
