So to summarize, 6GHz offers a wider frequency range, allowing for more wider channels, and is not used by anything else. As long as WiFi 6 is the only thing using the specific frequency band the AP can assign devices timeslots for both sending and receiving, improving both performance (fewer collisions) and battery life (no need to keep the radio on outside assigned timeslots).
There is no special reason that MS workloads that should be on Azure. AWS is always bragging that they have twice as many Windows VMs as Azure. The only two features that I’m aware of on AWS that won’t work for Windows is lambda and Fargate.

AWS SDKs, documentation and support for Windows/.Net Framework is excellent.

I’m not making any technical arguments against Azure. I haven’t used it besides what is now “Azure Devops”.

As far as Kubernetes. It’s inconsequential when a major corporation is considering which cloud provider to use. Most existing workloads on prem are not using k8s. That goes back to knowing how to meet the customers where they are and knowing how to do a “lift and shift” as phase 1.

Nice write up; agree with some thoughts, disagree with others.

Think this is daft though:

> The word "native" has always bothered me. No one can seem to agree on a definition, but we all agree that "native apps" are always optimal.

> I propose the following alternative definition of native: an app that behaves to the quality standards of the platform it's deployed to.

> A well engineered Electron app will give you "native" platform fidelity, regardless of programming language.

These are simply things I disagree with, and I find it troubling to see them promoted, because I've heard them before, recently, in person, from colleague.

You can argue that 'native is better' or not, but really? Do we have to fuss around with wording and pretend there's some magical alternative definition of what native means, in order for us to cool and be writing 'native' apps?

If I define 'native' as, written using sql, can I run 'native' queries in my database?

I mean, I get it; the point is that native may not be best, for many reasons.

...but it bothers me that I've heard people talking about how to define native; imo if you've gone down the rabbit hole of 'define all your terms to mean custom things' so you can call whatever you're doing whatever you like, you've lost the plot, and you're deliberately deceiving people.

That's bad behaviour, and I don't respect it.
Phones are one of the most likely things to break given their usage. So then you'd be locked out of the account. Requiring a smart phone or a phone number to authenticate but a high bar in certain regions of the world as well as against privacy-conscious people.

Here's a anecdote about phone and required 2FA: I was in Laos needing to pay rent when my phone broke. I was locked out of TransferWise to get my paycheck because their 2FA is behind their proprietary app so I couldn't authenticate on my laptop. Luckily I had just enough cash in my bank account. Too bad the bank only had 2 2FA options; 1) behind their proprietary app which doesn't allow rooted devices (despite root for more privacy tools on Android) or 2) SMS in which I was in another country so I didn't have access to my home SIM.

Because I needed a new phone to fix this issue, I went to buy a new one online. I couldn't pay for it because I needed a working phone to confirm a payment with my bank.

All of this could be solved by allowing TOTP (which doesn't require a phone) or FIDO2 (which I have a key).
In a large company, sure, but in Google? They nuke their own stuff all the time, users be damned. Since AWS offers a larger ecosystem, and doesn't have the Google product TTL of like 5 years, I really don't know why anyone would use GCP unless they're going for multi-provider redundancy
My experience has been, especially if your application layer's in a scripting language, pushing as much data-fiddling to the DB as possible will save you serious performance headaches down the road, even if the application layer implementation looks OK at first. They're all really slow and memory-inefficient, and often moving that stuff to the application layer also means more queries (else, typically, why not do it in the DB?) which means more network latency, which an be a real killer. In a lot of cases fixing the performance means, at the very lease, re-implementing a bunch of what your DB already does to support fast & efficient data manipulation.

I've also seen the application change on top of the DB way more than I've seen the reverse, so I'm inclined to avoid putting data manipulation in the application when possible. That way it's there, for free, when we need a second application to access the same thing, or when we break off some chunk of a program into its a separate service and re-write it in Go because it turns out to be a performance bottleneck, or WTF ever.

Big labs don't work any faster than small labs, they just have more people to chase more projects; generally it's the same amount of people per project as a small lab. Chances are if you got scooped it was just because someone got started with the idea before you did. After all, the future directions at the end of the paper are usually active research by the time you are drafting and submitting for review.

Getting 'scooped' isn't so bad in biology at least. If you were thinking about XYZ and someone publishes X and Z, great. Cite that paper, now you don't have to bother so much validating X and Z and can focus on strengthening your Y argument or adding argument W to your paper.

It seems perfectly reasonable for Oracle to defend itself in court this way. It's kinda like an automatic win - if they get the Google lawsuit, then hey - bank... and then they will likely lose this case - but the stakes are pretty much tiny. Also AWS would have to go after a bunch of open source replicas of S3 too - which they probably DON'T want to do. And if they don't, Oracle may have a counter case in that it was unjustifiably targeted. However if they lose the Google case, then hey, they did nothing wrong here. Seems like a win win for Oracle.
Yes, I know.[1] My point is that the current political environment is especially averse to systems which trade private gain for public good. Central Valley farmers have been successful in running out the clock and extracting huge payouts for their land because they can leverage public sentiment to forestall land acquisitions that are both perfectly legal and rather run-of-the-mill. In most holdout cases California courts would order a sale rather quickly, but the state doesn't avail themselves of that option nearly as much as they could. This is how Georgist systems seem to become corrupted--an appraisal results in some sympathetic character (an elderly person or even a businessman) effectively being forced to move or sell, exceptions made, formulas tweaked, inexorably regressing the Georgist system to the status quo ante.

California is a great example: HSR battles and Prop 13 revenue dilemmas are things that land value taxes are directly intended to resolve in favor of the public wealth. But both of these phenomena have strong public support propping them up, directly and indirectly. Prop 13 was passed precisely because the public was concerned about the threat of people being priced out of their homes, and that sentiment is at least as strong today as it was back then. Land value taxes would systematize homeowners' worst fears, and they won't be placated by arguments or even evidence that shows that they're better off on average.

I'm tempted to say that people are just irrational or that the public often wants contradictory things, but that would be lazy--true but lazy. In any event, my point is that resolving these things requires more than simply engineering a system that works better on paper. Incentives have to be aligned not just in dollars, but also in votes; not just at the outset, but also on an ongoing basis. Georgist land value taxation schemes are fundamentally predicated on consistent, long-term application. Once exceptions are made it crumbles because not only do perceptions of unfairness increase, the utility of the regime declines. This is true of alot of things, even traditional land taxation, but it's especially true of land value taxes.

[1] Or at least I'll concede that point. It's not obvious to me if and how prospective public works projects would figure into land values under a Georgist system, especially in the rural areas where HSR battles seem to be the worst. (AFAIK, the more urban areas in and around Fresno were acquired and bulldozed rather quickly.) Particularly with land value taxation, the devil is in the details.

That was probablematic in the heyday of all the various Unix vendors. It was pretty common for some machines to vent front to back, others back to front, or large differences in depth, etc. So if you weren't paying attention, you could easily make a multi-stage heater stack in a single rack.

Probably still an issue today, though there's a lot fewer vendors and variation.

When you say "Be willing to work with consulting agencies and accept their markup on your rate.", are you saying that they should pass on your cost to the customer? Or do you advocate reducing your rate to acknowledge the customer-acquisition-cost of the agency?

I've struggled with this myself. I am firm on my rate, but I also haven't really considered that it might make sense to reduce it in the case that someone else is finding the clients.

Not really in biology at least. If you invent a fancy new way to measure gene expression and use it in your paper, reviewers are going to ask for that result compared to the existing gold standard experiments to test gene expression. If there are no existing gold standards, you will need to support your claim with more experiments that lead to the same interpretation in different ways.

Reviewers are there to make sure you dotted your i's and crossed your t's, and will burn you if they can't easily determine that while skimming your paper over lunch break.

I'm saying that ISO standards have might have no bearing on copyrightablity of APIs, or enforcement of that copyright. Copyright was never intended to protect against use in any implementation like Oracle's argument for API copyrightablility here. The idea of copyright at the time was protection against strict copying of the same (or close enough) implementation, and therefore ISO standards don't really protect against copyright claims.

At the very best it's extremely grey area in the law.

I think as a profession we've been bad at quantifying and communicating the value of clean infrastructure and good development practices to the business. Why should they pay you to make things "nicer"? One of your big customers is threatening to churn if you don't deliver this new feature! To them, it sounds like you are asking them for a ton of money for better feng shui - pseudoscience with unclear benefits - when they can directly see the benefit of delivering features to the customers.

Instead, I think we need to learn how to measure and quantify the value of a good codebase and good practices, and communicate that to the business. Google's error budgets are a step in the right direction here, but I think there's a lot more that can be done.

Well put. I think that with Microsoft products (at least for us) it's assumed that we will experience crashes, bugs, data loss, etc. At work we are all Microsoft (bringing in your own hardware is not permitted anyway). At home, I'm mostly macOS and Linux. While those aren't perfect either, I do not expect issues, whereas with Microsoft products I've simply learned to expect them.
The general idea behind the question is brilliant, but I doubt its usefulness as an interview question.

When I read that in his book, my first thought was how I would answer it in an interview, and I think the unstated subtext to the question is:

"What important truth do very few people agree with you on that is big enough to feel important, but I will not feel threatened or offended by?”

"What heretical views you have?" is a great question to ask a friend over a beer, but as an interview question, it's the liberal arts version of those horrid interview puzzles.
I think this comes down to correlation versus causation.

The fact that someone (perhaps yourself) valued a property highly recently is correlated with that property having a high present value. But it does not cause it.

It is possible the million dollar purchase was a mistake, or that something has changed and it's now worth far less. Valuing a property highly may cause you to have paid a lot of money for it, and that might be a reason to assess the current value highly. But that's very, very different from valuing a properly highly because you paid a lot of money for it.
