    I was exclusively using Dvorak on my home and work machines for 8 years, but switched back to QWERTY about 5 years ago. I loved the feel of Dvorak -- subjectively more comfortable …

    I've only worked at companies running in the cloud. Is there a console (open-source or otherwise) and other tooling similar to AWS' for managing your resources in your own data cen…

    Totally agree. I used to listen to music and podcasts on Spotify, but now use Apple Podcasts to listen to podcasts and Spotify to listen to music.

    What do you mean by this comment? The title matches the link and is also correct. This is Alphabet reporting, which includes Google and other related entities.

    The title of the article is a bit misleading. It implies that he's leaving with a severance package -- that he was let go by the company -- but the $105M is from selling stock from…

    To be clear, the $400m "bonus" isn't a bonus at all. It's an incentive package that's based on the price of the stock sustaining over 180 days, and the first milestone of this ince…

    > implicit bias and/or racism I think it'd be better for them to re-market this principle as "bias-free" or something more generic. Calling it "anti-racist/anti-oppression" is, fai…

    I would imagine that most auto insurance policies require seatbelts (under some general safety baseline provision) for coverage to be valid.

    Is that not what Amazon Fresh is, or is supposed to be, in the US? (disclaimer: work for DoorDash, but in an unrelated org)

    The title is a bit sensationalist. Looks like two CEOs of smaller tech companies talked about this casually on a podcast, while the title implies a _much_ larger number of people.

    You generally use 409a valuations, which increase in regularity and accuracy as the company matures (ie. gets bigger and closer to an actual IPO).

    Just speculation, but they may have children, and if so, prosecutors may have wanted to keep at least one parent out of jail.

    How competitive and safe are these compared to Boeing and Airbus equivalent planes?

    I'm curious why ISO exercises were ever added into the AMT income calculation. Exercised shares in private companies are generally very illiquid, and exercised shares in public com…

    I work at a company that spends a lot of money at AWS, and one of the many support channels we have now is through shared Slack channels. I can imagine that the main driver behind …

    Should the title be updated to include “Homebrew”? As is, it lacks any context and requires looking at the link to know.

    Cool to see a big company using Kotlin multi platform. It sounds like this tool is used internally. Given that, was it not possible to issue tablets of a single platform to users i…

    I don’t think this is virtue signaling at all. Virtue signaling implies, to me at least, a person that is trying to make himself/herself look better to others. In almost all cases …
