Op has 0 percent is how I read it. Op has options.

You are not a co founder, you are an employee. hint. founders get shares, employees get options. you are now in the situation of whatever you can bargain for, you can get, whatever…

Your credit score matters far less than you think. Your credit score is maintained by a bunch of goons in a protection racket. 'Shame if anything would happen to that fine credit s…

Redis loses data, it has to be a cache. And it range scans only on individual machines. Eg, it doesn't scale, you have to scale it. Foundation is transactional correct on a cluster…

It is a reasonable shorthand to say the only interesting transactions are multi row, and thus big table doesn't support transactions. More correctly, the only transactional guarant…

Why would it matter how they do it under the covers? You see correct transactions. The interesting tech in this space is aws redshift, in my testing a few years ago they dominated …

Bittorrent clients for windows and mac are generally malware infested pits of adware. Wherever i try to be virtuous and use one, i have to clean whatever i installed. I am sure i a…

Google maps results are on their way to death. I was recently doing a search having gone down to a three block area, did not show the result - Google pulled out a few blocks and sh…

While building all of airbnb is hard, let's look at a clone like outdoorsy, which is airbnb for rv's. It was very functional a year ago, and i doubt if it took a decent team more t…

On the other side , not annoyed. I transitioned from free gsuite to paid a few years ago. For my twelve (12) bucks a month, i get 2tb of storage, great mail services, all the docs …

Yeah, and more importantly, was the equipment designed to exist with that much guard band? And isn't the cell equipment specified to throw off only a certain amount of harmonics, o…

The only real question, imho, is why this wasn't understood when the frequency was auctioned. If we needed more guard band, we needed more guard band. If antennas point to the sky,…

California state offices have term limits, i voted for them, and they are terrible. No one can make a living as a legislator, so we have beginners and they are getting steam rolled…

There is a critical element the post doesn't state: a successful small project has (has) very limited scope of customers and use patterns. That is where complexity in writing datab…

Definition of arbitrary: 'based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.' (Google) Being first is not arbitrary. It is hard to achieve, and valuable. It…

I fought in the networking wars. Implemented a lot of protocols and a lot of protocol gateways. Calling the reason for TCP winning 'arbitrary' or even softening that to 'not based …

Maybe hard for surveillance though? A single railcar of liquid is 100 tons (I don't know if liquid methane is shipped, this is just a way to visualize - and this is a rough number.…

I left out JavaScript. It is not a simple language, with it's service heritage. It is bound up in the node runtime in a way that doesn't really work right for data processing.

Another way to analyze the problem: what other language would it have been, given the moment ml hit? You say compared to other scripting languages'. Let's list them. Ruby: no numer…

Very nice to read a balanced paper, but a hospital might very well ( and, I think, illegally ) give some transplant people priority. Isn't that what happened to Steve jobs? No one …

This post is quite nice in naming the people who did all the improvements. During this time, I was at a company trying to fit browser tech into consumer electronics, so we had to b…

The author states repeatedly that 'media' is trying to control 'us', but not what this media has to gain by mask wearing. The more likely goal is to continue spending money (or eye…

'Mandatory medical treatment' sounds like a big deal, but the tragedy of the commons happens with every vaccine. No one benefits much from their own vaccination, we all benefit mus…
