Hi Jacob. Paul Graham's comments are only accurate if you apply reflective practices and gain the learning. There might be some learnings, but they are inconsistent, weak and and easily lost. If you only have one conversation a day, then you'll probably think about it later that day. Taking notes allows you to reflect on it later, especially if you have a busy schedule. Jarvis talks about this, but you'll see reflection being promoted as a necessity in many learning theories
Need to bring back some of those brownbag lunch & learn events, starting with "SPICE up your clocks"! Except people might not be comfortable sitting in the same room these days
EDIT: Looks like I was wrong when I thought IPv6 was backwards compatible
IPv6 is backwards compatible so why would we "finally roll off IPv4"? IPv6 has been "here" in production for over a decade, and has seen slow adoption. I suspect it may be another 8-10 years until IPv6 gets close to a majority, but wouldn't IPv4 still be in-use?
What would force a roll off of IPv4?
Either way, I too would like to know more about how IPv4 space has appreciated/depreciated in the past decade
This also reminds me of university costs. They're allowed to continuously increase prices non-stop, but then the politicians want to just cancel student debt. They probably should have just capped the prices instead
> 20% of that, 14,000 searches per second, seems a meaningful number of searches to scale to.
This is only part of the story. 20% to me is not really meaningful. More importantly, Google wields power to affect the 80%. 20% is a paltry alternative.
What About the company? Did you join for the mission, is the mission something you still support, is the mission something the leadership actually conveys or is it lip service, do you feel you’re in a position to be impactful for that mission.
Sometimes you might get a crappy job at a company with a cool mission (such as SpaceX) but it doesn’t mean you have to leave. Transfer internally!
I agree with it all, except the last point, and with it's inclusion this loses it's strength as it seems to indicate violence. Perhaps "peacefully resist" is an alternative everyone can agree with. Nobody wants violence
I think thatguyagain is making a good point about infinite regress. Should we all add a thank you to our github pages, thanking every dependency, library, framework, to Stroustrup, to Stallman, to Linus, and to John von Neumann?
In an ideal future of course
