Pretty hype about this TBH. There is a long history of companies domiciling in say, Monaco, The Cayman Island, Panama etc to avoid taxes and regulations where they mainly operate. My understanding is that the current process in vogue for th

yea, thats not really the story in idaho/oregon area. A lot of the issue there is that lots of the land is owned by the federal government, and the people who live near by and are in ranching/mining/logging don't want to

this so much. Focusing on process and making the safest process will kill your team. Your best team members don't want to be hampered by a process that slows them down to protect them from their worst team members. The advantage you ha

I didn’t fire him because he made 2 mistakes. I fired him because I was giving him 10-15 hrs/week of coaching and mentorship and he wasn’t improving at all. The process that was bad was our interview process and our process change was

Absolutely terrible developers exist, some have 5, 10, or 20 years of experience. I have worked with at least two of them in my career. One was a co worker at a startup. He seemed smart and confident but he just didn't do any work and

The hiring managers don't have that power. Not sure if you have done an interview loop but I assume that as a tenure track/tenured professor you're going to be L6+ individual contributor in a research group. In that interview

I think its totally fine for a car maker to charge for OTA updates in a Saas/subscription model. The reality is that software requires long term maintenance and charging subscriptions is the only way to get a lot of the features to wor
