I think you meant $850 million stock option grants

Is he really? The title is so mis-leading. Coach of SV - Bill Campbell. Yoda of SV - Knuth? Not really. Knuth is more like the Yoda of CS. What is SV really? He is so far away from…

I always wondered about single individuals having an out-sized impact in tech. It is usually system/teams which make things happen. I am skeptical when one person is given most of …

Can someone comment on what the official police report said and how it differs from the private report? If you can provide references that will help too. My search abilities failed…

I will always remember him as the guy who would willingly collude with other mentees of Bill Campbell to not hire engineers from each others companies. Willingly trying to keep the…

Is there design/architecture doc for Cadence. Wanted to learn the design goals, non-goals, alternatives considered, trade-offs made for building a system like Cadence.

Age discrimination for older software engineers is real. It gets enforced in subtle ways. It is up or out culture at the end. Age discrimination doesn't get the same coverage as ge…

That Google is no different from all other companies in the valley as the values the company espouses are just fluff when rubber meets the road. Executives are exempt or excused. D…

Is Page still actively involved in Google? With the walkouts, and anger at Google's top level management for paying hush money to Andy, does he still have credibility with employee…

For a long time, I don't think they even had a formal paternal leave policy or only had a just a couple of weeks for Dads. They are definitely a late mover in this area. They had t…

I don't see anyone above Staff level or many product/marketing/sales people in the signed letter. Are staff+ engineers, manageres and non-engineers at Google mostly supportive of D…

This title is so misleading - Google sacked 40 employees over a period of two years.

Is David expecting Acton to show gratitude that Facebook bestowed him billions of dollars? Did Facebook do charity or was it doing business purchasing WhatsApp? If you believe in m…

Will there be a presentation or commentary on these slides?

These are not rumors. Multiple news sources reported the misconduct and Andy had to take a leave of absence from Essential. Andy would have hired a stellar law firm to protect his …

You are right. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/29/technology/andy-rubin-and... https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2017/11/29/andy-rubin-ta... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=…

No one really knows why he left Google. Was he forced to leave silently with support for good optics around his departure by Google or he just left abruptly dropping everything he …

some incoherent ramblings... I would be curious to see the list of employees who quit for this purpose. They are making a statement. They might as well publicly disclose their iden…

Walmart was forced to pay $15 Billion by Amazon, I think. Amazon-India is already a force to reckon with in India. They have a ton of customer love in India, and they are killing i…

Broken documentation: Architecture image is missing. https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/architecture.html Hope someone from the team reads this.

This response from Tesla comes across as cold and shows no empathy to the victim's family. "We are very sorry for the family's loss" sounds so hollow after reading the rest of the …

The title is click-baity. He took leave of absence from the current company Essential because reports of an in-appropriate relationship at Google surfaced publicly? Leaders and boa…

What is Joe Hewitt doing now?

Interesting that branding is not important/creatively skirted when negative news is involved. Doesn't come as a surprise. Wondering, if this is intentional. Difficult to imagine th…
