    Jeff Dean and co at GOOG just released a paper showing how machine-learned indexes can replace B-Trees, Hash Indexes, and Bloom Filters. Execute 3x faster than B-Trees, 10-100x less space. Executes on GPU, which are getting faster unlike CPU. Amazing. arxiv-vanity.com/papers/1712.01…

    The terms "data cleaning" and "data wrangling" should be retired. They undervalue and trivialize the work. It is the design and construction of an organization's data products that outlive any particular model or dashboard. It's the bulk of the work and it's hard.

    In Cuomo's America, this nurse in Israel that grabbed a pizza boy to vaccinate when a vaccine was about to expire would be fined a million dollars. x.com/erlichya/statu…

    Here's a prediction: This is the moment Buffet has been waiting for his entire career. Berkshire has 125B in cash and a universe of distressed assets to buy (when the time is right) with real, underlying value. Buffet is going to end his career in a blaze of glory.

    Microservices are such a fundamentally and catastrophically bad idea that there are going to an entire cohort of multi-billion companies built that do nothing but contain the damage that they have wrought.

    All the dunking on the Zillow team––ICs and leadership alike––is not a good look. Business is hard, they took a shot, and they missed. Can happen to anyone.

    Disney acquiring LucasFilm and Marvel for 4 billion a pop turned out to be a steal in the streaming era. By comparison, this year Netflix got the rights to just Seinfeld for 500 million for 5 years. Can't really fathom what would Marvel and LF would go for today.

    From the talk about the rewrite of fb using Relay and GraphQL. This feature is so amazing and intuitive. Deliver js only if the graphql query returns data that requires that js.

    Degradation of Uber customer experience under CA’s new regulatory regime is pretty shocking. 5x wait time. 2.5x price increase. Thanks AB5!
