> I just throw them away and buy my own regular potatoes to supplement. Please don't do this if you can avoid it. I used to do the same (not with Blue Apron admittedly, but food in…

While I generally agree with your main point, I have witnessed engineers who espouse equality publicly until their own remuneration is the topic of discussion, at which point self-…

It's usually in the underlying option plan I believe. I think the challenge with changing the 90 day window is that you run the risk of the option not qualifying as an ISO. If that…

> I'd expect that in most high-growth companies the impact of individual contributors quickly gets washed away after they leave I'd argue it's the opposite. Early employees often h…

I think they started their life as a crowdfunding platform but then pivoted to focus on payments. I remember seeing their logo on the ESPN fantasy football site a year or so ago, s…

Unfortunately, he's probably not helping his cause by hanging around at this point. I'm sure he has his reasons - family, mortgage etc - but a lot of recruiters likely treat those …

> Most assholes don't have that level of reflection so I'm not going to be too harsh I think that's what differentiates your run-of-the-mill asshole from a sociopath. While the aut…

Two general rules I follow: 1. You want me to indemnify you? Hahahahahaha. No. 2. You want to indemnify me? Sure, sounds good.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that before. I still value a lot of the work they did last year, but it's a great reminder to keep a critical eye on what I consume. Now, please don't tell me…

Why do you say that? Their political coverage and some of their deep-dive investigative pieces have been top drawer IMO.

Funnily enough, I'm also a subscriber of the FT! The app has the full newspaper ordered in the same way (Lex, The Big Read etc) and provides a pretty great experience for a digital…

It's amazing how many people I know who have subscribed to the WaPo in the last 12 months. I know, I know - echo chamber - but it gives me great hope that quality news organization…

Yes, I think that's the key distinction. Kodi is available (for example) in the Play Store so selling a box with it pre-installed is not illegal. However, if you go the extra step …

Want to know how I know AI is over-hyped? All of the VCs who were bullish on Bitcoin a few years back are now "thought leaders" on AI.

It's a little of both. If your employer doesn't cover 100% of the premium then your share is deducted from your pre-tax salary. Healthcare is often one of the factors up for negoti…

I realize that the parent comment focused on Uber, but my concern is directed at the personalization of the post. This was posted under Travis' personal Facebook account. It was a …

> What I also hate is that Uber tries to play the PR game and show themselves as the great guys here. Forget that they pay their drivers peanuts, that drivers have to drive up to 3…

That is quite literally the definition of a minority :) Seriously though, I take your point and this is a reminder that if we ignore vocal minorities spouting hate, eventually they…

And share with others. This is only one poor guy, but there's plenty more like him out there who have done everything right and jumped through the USCIS hoops to get here legally w…

It's not legal, but per my comment above Kodi offers a pretty good solution via a Mi Box, Roku, Fire TV etc. Exodus has pretty much every show you could wish to watch on demand, an…

We pay for Netflix and have access to all of the Amazon content via our Prime subscription and then we just use Exodus on Kodi for everything else. I'd love to see a legal Exodus e…
