Apache Flink, Flume, Storm, Samza, Spark, Apex, and Kafka all do basically the same thing. I feel like this is a bit overboard. And this is before we talk about the non-Apache stream-processing frameworks out there.

* Apache Flink is an open source stream processing framework

* Apache Flume is a distributed, reliable, and available software for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data.

* Apache Storm is a distributed stream processing computation framework

* Apache Samza is an open-source near-realtime, asynchronous computational framework for stream processing

* Apache Spark is an open-source distributed general-purpose cluster-computing framework.

* Apache Apex is a YARN-native platform that unifies stream and batch processing.

* Apache Kafka is an open-source stream-processing software platform

That's disappointing. Anyone heard anything about Grubhub?
This changed for almost all promotions around when this slide deck was allegedly made. Now, below L5, it is more or less conventional, because your director effectively makes the decision. So your manager now has a LOT of influence, for all the promotions people care about (the mandatory ones). They had explicit promo budgets per org at least once. So if anything the more recent changes were made to facilitate something like this.

What was really interesting to me about this was that although it did seem like a good way to avoid politics, what the original promo process actually did was incentivize fire-and-forget projects that would be more promotable if they touched as many other moving pieces as possible. This to me explains a lot of Google.
>> Facebook needs mobile, which means they need Apple more than Apple needs them.

> Is that actually true? Last time I checked iPhone only had a 20% market share.

But it's a relatively premium market segment that Facebook can't afford to lose. If they cede it, they're taking a serious risk that a serious competitor could emerge on the platform that turns them into the next MySpace. That 20% could pull the rest of the market its way, since whatever they migrate to would likely be available on all platforms.

This isn't a far-fetched idea. It's basically what Facebook did with it's initial rollout exclusively to the Ivy League schools.

> Imagine iPhone users can no longer WhatsApp/FB-messanger with their Android using friends. How many people will think twice before buying an iPhone again?

That might have been true five years ago, but Facebook's products are much less compelling now, for a whole host of reasons. Cross-platform replacements would quickly emerge to fill the niches Facebook was driven out of. Many people would get mad about not having Facebook on their phone, but most of them would get over it. But others are already primed to abandon Facebook, they're just waiting for a push.

> Apple is in the disadvantage here.

No, Facebook is, since their dominance of social netoworking is so tenuous that they need to convince people to use spy-VPNs to stay on top of emerging competitors.

Great documentary. I can heartily recommend all of Al-Khalili's documentaries: "Atom", "The End of the Universe", "Shock and Awe: The Story of Electricity" and "Chemistry: A Volatile History" are all excellent. The last two are my favorites; while his documentaries on physics and quantum mechanics are good, they describe scientific phenomena that are pretty difficult to understand, let alone visualize, and it ends up having to be a little over-simplified, or explained with unsatisfying visual analogies. The ones on chemistry and electricity are a lot more (no pun intended) grounded, and include some fun demonstrations.
My first remote job was for a company I had been working onsite for a few months that also had a small amount of people working remotely. I didn't join the company with the intention of going remote, but at some point I decided I wanted to work remotely so I just asked.

After that I joined Toptal and got a couple of projects through them.

IMO Toptal is not a bad choice to get started in remote work, although long term it's better if you find your own work.

Tip sharing as a concept is well extended.

Having seen the wrong people get rewarded bonuses, RSUs and raises all the time. You are just better off with a salary band/pay grade and give money uniformly across the band.

Ideally 'top performers' are supposed to be rewarded for 'top performance'. But in any subjective evaluation you are just dealing with cooked up documentation to prove a person did something, therefore deserves extra. Pretty much any and anyone's story can be twisted and narrated in a way that could sound positive or negative, to reward or punish respectively.

You are better off with a tip pool and paying it across the band.

Showing URLs is essential. Google isn't able to determine what sites are safe. You can test it by signing up for a lot of Google Alerts. I get fed many shady URLs in Google Alerts and have clicked on some of them accidentally because the URLs aren't displayed in the emails anymore. If the URLs had been clearly displayed, I wouldn't have clicked on them.

A tool that warns people when something appears wrong with a URL would be useful, but hiding URLs from users would be a terrible idea. It will create a generation of people who don't even have the capability to visually scan a URL to see if it's safe.

Technology shouldn't be dumbed-down for people so much that many people who are capable of learning how it works will never see enough of the details to become curious. I've even met professional web developers who don't understand URLs well due to the current URL trimming in most browsers.

> Apache Flink, Flume, Storm, Samza, Spark, Apex, and Kafka all do basically the same thing.

Well, no, you went too far.

Kafka is primarily used for communication & data transport, by most people (can be used in other ways, and it has the KafkaStreams library that enables you do to some computation on said data - but it is, primarily, a transport & communication mechanism; also maybe storage, if you squint right)

Spark and Flink might be similar on first sight, but if you look a bit closer you realize Spark is primarily geared towards batch workloads, and Flink towards realtime. Sure, you can do micro-batch in Spark and pretend that's realtime stream processing, but the focus of it is fairly clear - as is the focus of Flink. So both have legitimate rights to exist.

I'm not sure about the others, haven't used them. There may be indeed consistent overlap - but I'm sure they are different approaches. What's wrong with that?

DeepFocus: Learned Image Synthesis for Computational Displays
On the contrary, I didn't go far enough. I didn't talk about Apache Gearpump, NiFi, Beam, Ignite, or Trident.

I know there are subtle differences in each specific technology, and that's probably the same justifications used to support the thesis when building yet another very similar framework.

> What's wrong with that?

I believe it drastically reduces adoption of these tools because many of us avoid what appears to be bandwagon technologies as we don't want to consciously add layers of future technical debt when a majority of these projects will be abandoned.
We got skyrocketing wealth inequality solely due to the breakdown in the value of the dollar after it became unlinked in 1971 and with the Fed system becoming an asset inflation device for people with capital. Take a look at any commodity priced in dollars after 1971, as though wages were going to keep up with that dramatic real inflation.

Just try keeping up with even 3% inflation if you're a median wage worker. Meanwhile, the rich can easily beat that inflation and move their capital around pursuing higher returns. Inflation massacres workers over time.

If you have 0% inflation, and your wages go up 3% per year, you can make some real progress in a society over 20 years. If you've got even just 2% inflation, and 1% net real wage gains, you're going to struggle to get anywhere once recessionary set-backs are accounted for.

While that 2%-3% inflation is eating your wage growth and pushing up consumer prices, it's also rapidly destroying the real value of your primary middle class asset: your house.

The Fed loves persistent inflation because it debases the national debt, which is drowning the US Government. It's terrible for the average person.

If the restaurant pays you less due to the expectation of significant tipping, then I do have a bit hard time too see why the practice of Instacart and restaurants differ that much. I guess you need to be American to understand this tipping logic.

Not turning out to be a great week for Apple. Even if they do receive a large number of bug reports, I would like to think they have the resources (let's face it, they're not cash-strapped) to resolve something as critical and privacy-focused as this. Their failure to do so makes a mockery of their users who pay a significant premium for their products, often in the name of privacy.
I don't see how my previous comment was confused. It was drawing a distinction between "server wage" and what Instacart is doing.

I never claimed "server wage" laws apply to this situation.

Also, the term "wage theft" seems like it doesn't apply to "server wage", because "server wage" is a construct specifically created by the law, whereas wage theft is something that's illegal.
Despite the unnecessary beef with the term “user”, the author seems to sugarcoat the only metric that matters at the end of the day - $$$. All of these altruistic reasons designers and app creators claim will help their users is just another way of saying we need more $$$. Let’s be real for a minute and admit that our job as UX designers is to figure out how to squeeze more $$$ out of users.

Is this legitimate? I can't tell anymore when I read articles about climate change, because both sides seem to mix in some lies or half-truths and misrepresent what the situation really is.

I've read parts of the IPCC 2014 report and they seem to be contrary to what the article is about. On the other hand, some of the things I read in the report did make me question the validity of the conclusions, particularly the parts about what their climate change models can predict. (According to the report it's not much because of our inability to model clouds properly.)

I see what points the article is making, but it seems more like politics to me than trying to inform me of the truth.

Maybe it would be a good idea for you to actually understand the problem domain you're inventing solutions for before you start thinking up far-reaching methods to mitigate a problem using a method that is unlikely to be used the way you intend it to. Especially if said methods have the potential to impact actual people's lives in a very negative way.
Instacart is dynamically adjusting down wages in response to tips; restaurants have a fixed wage, with a legislated minimum — even if it accounts for average tips.

The difference is that one allows the customer to dynamically adjust the wages in response to service; while in the other the company is pocketing that variance themselves, rather than passing it on to workers.

It’s simply fraud to pretend one situation is the other — there’s a distinct and meaningful difference in who pockets tip variance.

That teen’s mom is a lawyer. There’s still something legal-binding about faxes that Email doesn’t have. At my former employer, we (a remote office for mother company) were sometimes told to send some info via a real fax and there were no ways around it (other than overnighting the original).

Also, it’s amazing to see she did so much to try to notify them. Yes, not being technical, she couldn’t figure out that security team email, but I wonder why all of the Apple people who were getting signals from her didn’t forward it to that team...
Ah sir, you could just ask me directly https://lukaszkups.net/notes/tips-for-beginner-programmers/ ;)
I said "you went to far" to claim Kafka, Spark and Flink do basically the same thing. It's reasonable to use all 3 of them in the same team - so they clearly don't do the same thing.

> I believe it drastically reduces adoption of these tools

As does any competition. Tons of smartphone makers = less adoption for any one of them - and many will close down. Still not a bad thing.

I started at Google right around when this deck was made. I never got a holiday gift. I got three "badges" for this (one for not getting a 2016 gift, one for, at the time presumably, never receiving one, and one for being in the first year of employees to have such a distinction). In a very characteristic example of Googliness all three were silently rm'd from the central server in between when I got my morning badge summary email and when I got to my desk. To be explicit, that means it became company policy sometime in that hour for those badges not to exist.

They re-architected the promo process for 95% of promos (according to another comment itt, but for sure closer to 80% than 20%), making it more conventional. Allegedly to prevent orgs from promoting wildly (for... Some reason I guess), "promo budgets" were floated. This rightfully pissed people off because Google only promotes you after you demonstrate consistency at the next level, meaning you would be working at LN getting paid as an LN-1 for at least another cycle if not longer. It also really upset the orgs that are structured by function rather than area. Allegedly these budgets never existed, but personally, after my management chain bluntly and directly lied about the Maven contract, I never believed anything they said. I'm sure they're all excellent people, but capitalism gives us all incentive to do things we otherwise wouldn't. Lying about Maven, and restructuring promo to make it your managers decision, were certainly company policies. Budgets might not have been, but then, even if there's no evidence now, it took us decades to find out the truth about Tonkin Bay.

So, for a brainstorming deck, a lot of stuff from it actually happened. Given that, you have to start questioning how accurate other parts are.

I left Google recently, though I knew what a "company" was going in and didn't expect anything different. I was very sad to leave my immediate team, but not at all sad to leave Google, mostly because of how glaring the difference is between what they say they value and what they actually value. I wouldn't even begrudge them the honesty; every other "conventional" company somehow manages to keep employees.

The COGS and labor on a 15k wholesale order is likely 10k, so not getting paid is a big deal.

I wrote up a checklist for the release procedure of the app I work on at my company. I cannot stress how much it made my life easier.

There were a few (too many) manual steps, like updating websites XYZ with release notes, and using this checklist made it all so much simpler to keep track of what I had done / need to do. I also added direct links, removing much friction.

Other than that I don't really use checklists.
