what does a large context window have anything to do with google's data moat?
Hosted Vitess sounds amazing - love this - 0 downtime migrations w/ Percona on RDS still suck and waste a lot of time
Also , I get the simpler tech, but complexity breeds failure - if you have a hybrid on prem / cloud model, especially with only 250k skus, at that point doesn’t it make sense to keep that exclusively in the cloud.
It’s a system that scans a barcode and returns an item at its core - this is still well under the limits of using an off the shelf system like Redis behind an endpoint
I ofc don’t know what I dont know, but super curious if anyone has insight into why such a complex system is required
Also, if this microservice is used for brick and mortgage mortar, can’t imagine more than a couple hundred per second? ( 2000 stores, 5 registers a store - and humans manually scanning items ) - why did that overload the micro service (guessing it wasn’t an endless exponential backoff)
Australian comedy show about government infrastructure- scary how similar some of the episodes are to the Massachusetts windmill example
Robinhood, is like any tool, and can be used in a positive or negative way.

Commission free ETFs and blue chip stocks are great ways to start building wealth (especially for novice traders who are not interested in specific tax advantages). Everyone should really read the book before trading
Wonder how much this supply chain dynamic ends up adding to the cost of the a380 in aggregate
Our goal here at Sympto is to supercharge the role of the nurse, automating the rote and manual tasks, and ultimately allowing nurses to focus more on patients who need their attention.
As you can imagine, with COVID-19, we are facing unprecedented demand from health systems, who need help triaging the expected massive inflow of patients.
We just closed a fresh round of funding, backed by investors in Modern Health, Udemy, Guardant Health, DoorDash and Airbnb. We are looking to hire a Founding Engineer who is interested in playing a critical role in helping the lives of thousands of patients & care teams across the country.

I'm always looking for ways to algorithmically optimize my meals, and currently Chipotle and their app does the best job of enabling this in a standardized way (can pretty easily get nutrition info and hook it into other apps) , but it ends up being pretty boring on a routine basis. Something like this, with an expanded product line would be really useful.
