Which alternatives have you been introduced to?

So, from you experience, what were the main show stoppers for the startups that you had the chance to see/observe?

Building things that nobody was waiting for without a sound businessplan. Grossly underestimating required technical knowledge and investment being a close second.

I’ve heard google has an alpha version of this for internal use only.

From time to time they let it run loose to clean up their products.

We were going to adopt it but after internal discussions, we’re worried they’ll euthanize it after 22 months. We’re pivoting.

Based on some comments in this post and the posted article, it seems we are assisting to a power shift, I wonder who will replace the US and how long will it take.

Most money would have been on China, but the PRC has decided to sabotage itself.

What makes you think that it wont reverse? Look at what is happening to the chip wars between Us, EU and China, and the energy crisis in Europe.

My thought is that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of globalization.

That happens every time an empire declines. The Roman empire had a globalized economy, and that ended up collapsing into the medieval period of hyper-localization. The collapse of the Dutch and British empires had similar results. The American empire is collapsing now, and globalization is the first casualty.

Fun fact: Victorian England even had several very successful uber-like businesses (phone ordering aggregators in this case).

I don’t understand why they haven’t used identical hardware, network latency and CPU context switching can be tricky to measure correctly.

faang like facebook or netflix? I think it’s time people stop using this acronym

Even in India people use FAANG where 3 of these are missing. It’s become an equivalent now of top payers who are also stable employers.

do you have any way to back your statement? otherwise it’s just dust in the wind
