Great work and as a product guy, I find the preview environments feature explained on your website to be a potential game changer. Being able to spin up and seed environments on de…

We needed a tool that gave us the same experience as Heroku but on AWS, so we went with Nullstone ( https://nullstone.io ). Everything is nicely managed in a style you'll be famili…

I believe he was using the source article. One example was a leap in public polling around how our government functions (33% jump in being able to identify the three branches of th…

Also highly recommend the book “The Phoenix Project”. It highlights common pitfalls and solutions through a narrative of a character thrown into their first time leading a team.

So we’ve created one loophole. What if I buy multiple properties below the threshold? Is the limit per household? If so, does this apply to people heavily leveraged with little net…

The special treatment is at the time of sale. My comments were in response to taxing the appreciation at the time of a new loan (such as taking a second mortgage).

This would also affect most home owners. They purchase a home, it goes up in value, and they refinance or take a second loan rather than sell the property. The wealthy do this as w…

Yes, but the idea is to set controlled fires to prevent these larger uncontrolled ones. It not only requires regular controlled fires, but when they are performed, for how long, an…

I remember a friend talking about how he didn't take Youtube options for some consulting work he did for them in their very early days. This was almost exactly 10 years ago and his…

TL;DR - The money available to any one company is small (hundreds of thousands) which means it could only ever be a supplement. Since they are very difficult to apply for, it could…

Wheeler’s delayed choice excitement is referred to as a thought expirement both by the physicists in the article as well as the first line in its Wikipedia entry. Like Einstein, he…

TL;DR: There was a loophole found in an older thought experiment that indicated that at the quantum level, nothing is real until it is observed. A discovery was recently made that …

I remember reading this when it was originally posted years ago and have had time to think about the implications. I am just over 40, so most of my class reunions were organized th…

Allan who also responded is fairly inline with the answer to this -- except one key point: the company can write whatever they want into the contract regarding recourse, but the IR…

They likely were giving her additional grants later in the life of the company upon reaching certain milestones to make up for her dilution at a strike price that required millions…

We can agree to disagree. As a two time founder, I had to go through a lot of discusssions with our legal and even my own to grasp the upsides and downsides of what Elizabeth did b…

As stated before, it doesn't work that way. Google the horror stories on those who have excercised options (and held the stock) on a liquidity event who had to pay taxes on gains t…

That might seem like the common sense answer, but is the danger in exercising options and holding them. In this case, the previous poster was correct -- once they forgive the loan,…
