No it's not. Severance is extremely common, while this package is quite generous.

What is their cloud offering if it’s just sql templating? Why would anyone pay for that?

Because YC and other VC shops wouldn't shut the fuck up about crypto, web3, and blockchain across 2020-2021 and that sort of behavior doesn't get a free pass. Now they've moved ont…

I'm confused, I searched for both "crypto" and "web3" on that page and there are no results?

And it begins. We’re going to see a lot of VC-backed firms with mildly decent products or teams sell for down-round valuations to those who are still flush with cash.

This blogpost [1] explains in detail but the gist is: * Standard-deduction next year is $27,700 married ($13,850 single) * Long-term-capital-gains is 0% on first $89,250 ($44,625 s…

Would be nice if you earned a 401(k) credit/allowance each year so when you do hit it big you can rapidly play catch-up on the past 20 years or whatever.

It would take 20 years to pull it off, and tax legislation may change, but a married couple can earn next year ~$115k/yr federally tax-free ($89k long-term cap gains + $27k earned …

Week1 sales is a decent predictor [1] of Year1 revenue. They'll probably do about 1M unit sales by Christmas 2023. [1] https://newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/steam-the-state-of-long.…

Oh, I didn't realize they had a publisher involved too. Yeah, this is a nice payday but it's just a start before it's life-changing for these two hackers. Let's see another 300k in…

Are they? 300,000 units * $30 = $9M - 30% Steam tax = $6.3M in a single year take out federal taxes (just gonna call it 36% and ignore SFJ/MFJ), leaves them about $2M each. I'm sur…

> I don’t understand the bi-partisan dislike of Tik Tok. It's not hard to understand, it's literally because it's controlled by China.

Redis isn’t just a cache. That’s memcached. Also SQS absolutely sucks for a job queue as soon as you want to do anything like control concurrency or have job priorities, but if you…

Keep in mind the context of this thread. It's some shitty blog suggesting you do every fuck thing on postgres. Myself and the other guy are simply suggesting that running a single-…

Chiming in to concur. Redis is amazing and simple software. You can use a managed service like Elasticache or install the binary on a VM instance. Folks using a relational database…

Technically speaking the portion of the email address before the @ is case-sensitive. However in practice it is ubiquitous that they’re treated as case-insensitive across all mail …

Aside from maybe Company of Heroes 3, what RTS games have came out anytime recently at all? I want some mid-to-late 90s style RTS games (C&C, AoE, TA, War2, SC, SC2) where you coll…

Wait until you find out nearly every modern package manager installs stuff directly from github repos.
