Elasticsearch and OpenSearch already support S3 backed indices. See features like https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/tuning-your-cluster/avail... The files in S3 are plain old Lucene segment files (just wrapped in OpenSearch snapshots which provide a way to track metadata around those files).
There are close Google <=> SpaceX links too... The Starlink backbone network uses Google Cloud features that appear custom built/aren't available even to big customers. Nearly all Tesla tech seems built on top of Google tech - for example they use various private maps API's for the in-car map display. And everything is built on top of protocol buffers, google's in-house RPC/serialization format.
Protocol buffers have been public for 10+ years (since 2008 according to Wikipedia). Given the mobility between tech companies, it's hardly surprising that the same ideas / solutions are reused across companies.
* tax co-ordinated investing - looks at both your taxable and tax exempt/deffered accounts and directs funds appropriately (for example, puts more tax inefficient assets in your tax exempt accounts)
You can of course do this on your own as well, so it's up to you to decide whether the additional fee is worth it or not. Also, not all robo advisors offer the same features - but most offer automatic rebalancing at a minimum.
Automatic rebalancing is not that useful as long as you're contributing, because that rebalances on its own.
Betterment's tax loss harvesting is good… unless you're expecting your tax rate to go up next year, in which case you want to harvest gains… also, it'd be better to not lose money in the first place. Since they have alternate portfolios like "smart beta" now which try to do that, their features conflict with each other.
The main problem is that every robo uses the same Modern Portfolio Theory based investing which despite being "modern" is from 1960.
As per the landing pages of the projects, ES has 1.6k contributors whereas ClickHouse has 803. The contributors page likely only lists the top contributors to keep the page load time manageable.
Yes, there is a base cap of $160K ($185K for HCOL areas like NY and Bay Area), and the rest of the compensation is RSUs. For engineers who are senior and above, RSU based compensation will usually be more than 50% of their overall compensation.
The Amazon Kinesis Streams team is growing and looking to hire software and systems engineers. The service is growing at breakneck speed and has spawned an ecosystem with sister services like Amazon Kinesis Firehose and Amazon Kinesis Analytics. You'll have opportunities to work on a range of domains like
- Hardcore distributed systems
- Challenging scalability problems
- Open source libraries and stream processing frameworks
- Customer facing features and new APIs
- Performance enhancements
As a core AWS service, your work will have high impact and high visibility. Your customers will be other software developers and you'll have ample opportunities to interact with them (search for Kinesis on this page just to see a few of our customers).

The comments in the original blog post suggests a gap of 60k with the offer. Your comment makes sense only if he was interviewing for a Principal Engineer position or something, but instead was offered an SDE-I position. Plus I'm pretty sure very few (if any) non-Principal SDEs at Amazon actually get 200K in the first year.
Yes. If you can be promoted directly from SDE-I to SDE-II, there should not be a ~60K gap between. I've had the described thing happen (start interview by assuming level 3, but hire at level 2), and the gap is more like 20K. In other words: they should have known better.
In AWS, if anything, it's the other way around. Devs always run their own services at first, and ops teams start helping out once the service reaches some kind of scale where a dedicated ops team makes sense. (source: I work for AWS)
Yeah I figured this out once I read the article about it on recode.
I am pretty sure a lot of twitter power users would freak out over this kind of feature. One that integrates something similar to moments, but within the context of your timeline.
But twitter is a global product so when I wake up in the morning in the USA and see something like that apology tweet. I don't want to have to dig to figure out what's going on.
> Once they establish dominance or once the smaller players run out of wall street sponsored discounts, the Amazon offers will also disappear.
My experience as an Amazon customer in the US has been contrary. Amazon is actually one of the rare companies that values loyalty and rewards existing customers. Most other startups (even ones outside e-commerce, like Uber/Ola etc. have offers that aggressively target new customers, but rarely offer anything for existing customers) Compare that to the experience of an Amazon Prime account holder. What started as free 2 day shipping now covers free 2 hour shipping, access to lots of media etc. at no added charge. A majority of the offers and discounts are also made available to all customers, not just new ones. Is this not the case in India?
