100% agree. It is shitty and rude. Not to mention it does not even make sense.

SVB has billions of dollars in client funds. Once you start having cash in the millions it isn’t practical to have all of it FDIC insured.

Microsoft changed to an OS agnostic strategy with the switch from Ballmer -> Nadella.

Those kinds of analysis are total bs. Real cost is most likely a lot lower.

The $42/mo thing was a hoax. Several news outlets picked it up since it looked pretty legit. In hindsight, the price point should have tipped us off.

They actually have done massive stock buybacks. The company is just an incredible money printer.

It really isn’t quite that simple. There are Intersex people who have ambiguous genitalia and there are several viable chromosome combos besides XX and XY.

There is an AWS Aurora serverless now: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/building-ser...

If most of your candidates cannot answer the question, but you would still hire them I would drop the question. Knowledge of when to use an index is more valuable than the specific…

Childcare is substantially more expensive and the public schools are not very good. You almost have to put your child in private school, and you are looking at $20k-$30k/year/child…

Lyft Line recently added this option. You can wait 10 extra minutes to save a few dollars.

There is no $5mm payout in this scenario. This is the paper value of the shares, which you must pay taxes on since the IRS considers them income. In other words, the IRS thinks you…

This looks really well done. I've used a bunch of different transit apps in SF, and all of them are extremely awkward and hard to use. I'm very hopeful I can use this app to replac…

It's a fair question. I'm honestly confused about why this blew up in the first place.

If that were true why aren't their uproars over any of these projects: https://github.com/grosser/pru https://github.com/colinta/ned https://github.com/aljungberg/pyle https://gith…

I have my doubts the folks criticizing it actually read the code. Even if they have, what's the point of shitting on someone's pet project? Note that none of them actually give a r…

Yes, that was my exact experience with Hibernate. I spent two years working on apps that used Hibernate and I never felt like I really understood how it worked. ActiveRecord for th…

Your comment is making me feel like a loser :P Can you explain what you mean?

Author went to college. Look at his questions from another angle. Would you hire a CS grad who couldn't answer the question "What's your favorite programming language?" I think his…

Ignoring that he has built a successful company (while needing to hire a ton of people to accomplish it) seems very selective to me. Also saying that "Maybe he'll be a winner in th…

I have to admit, I'm surprised at how polarizing the words "winners" and "losers" are to people in this thread. Replace the word winner with successful, and does it seem so bad?

Author is definitely a winner. He founded Bleacher Report. Disclaimer: I work there. It's fine to disagree, but it's a pretty lame attack him based on a selected portion of his bio…
