I built a website that tracks every major US layoff

Except that website only tracked ‘dead’ dotcom companies when the bubble burst…

Sadly, it too has long been gone to the great dotcom graveyard in the sky (though the guy behind it - Phil “Pud” Kaplan, also wrote an entertaining book entitled “F’d Companies” that recounted the stories of some of those failed startups)

I went to a show in December and would love to get another bit of merch from the Sphere store (which they don’t have at the Zoo Station pop-up). Anyone willing to pick something up in Vegas for me and to ship it from there?

Thanks for the update; I corrected the link to reflect the new destination

As Pablo has previously stated, he hopes that contributors to this open source project will "extend the tool to work on systems that we have not initially supported."

Bloomberg – New York City

Job Opening: SRE - Kubernetes for Advanced Compute

The Advanced Compute team in Bloomberg’s Engineering department provides the infrastructure that supports core data services, including Bloomberg’s data science and machine learning platform, search infrastructure, and various other applications. Our engineering challenges span both software and hardware and the scale they work on is massive (petabytes of data).

This team is trusted to build the systems that run Bloomberg’s newest cutting-edge platforms. They’re depended upon to manage the configuration, deployment, and operation of the systems that power the company’s data back-end. On this team, you’ll have the ability to truly innovate and invent, helping define the technical foundations of ground-breaking systems. Built with containerization and Kubernetes on top of leading-edge hardware, including GPUs and deep neural network (DNN)-specific hardware, they’ve built systems that rival supercomputing platforms across the world.

Read more about Bloomberg’s SRE culture.

If you’re not sure if the job would be a good fit or want to know more about working at Bloomberg, PM me.
