    There were loads of DEC multia workstations selling cheap at some point. But even those where a pain to get booting into linux of FreeBSD.

    There was an Apple presentation that claimed lower decompression energy usage: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2015/712/?time=4... On an iOS device this is a pretty hot…

    It's called covert channels. It could be done by flipping some unused/ignored bits in ip4/tcp headers in a stream of traffic that goes past a collection point.

    What's wrong for asking for the same terms as the latest round? Let's acknowledge that there is an opportunity cost for early hires.

    These side-letter deals and exits optimized for founders are probably not legal since they are often not in the best interests of shareholders, but I've never heard of them being i…

    It would probably make taxi medallions worth even less money. Package delivery subcontractors and couriers might also be out of business if a package delivery can be made on demand…

    I would add one thing, that the quota be issued throughout the year for immediate use. So you get a better signal of the winning compensation thresholds and so that people with ser…

    It's got to be cheaper than the USD $246,000 Javalin, which is often used against non-armored targets, like trucks and buildings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelin It's…

    What I'm curious about is the privacy policy. With the automatic VPN usage on wifi and the potential network architecture of the MVNO, Google could be in the path of all your cell …

    No, the big difference here is that Google's MVNO is dynamically switching between multiple providers. Most MVNOs are just resellers of a single network. They may migrate users bet…
