Underpaying what baseline? A recently hired software engineer at Tesla, while not giving specific figures, said that the base comp was competitive and the options were $100k+ over the standard 4-year vesting schedule. I've heard simila

I'm not sure I follow your math. Facebook had the following figures at the close of 2017 per https://investor.fb.com/investor-news/press-release-details/... : Earnings (Q4 2017): $4B Earnings (Y2017): $16B Rev

Can you provide any links or books that'd provide guidance on speaking "their language"? Seems like a wonderful opportunity to educate. I'd love to learn more as someone that tried to raise money, albeit from a smaller s

Take this with a heavy grain of salt. It's an idea I've had -- even though I don't have motivation problems -- that I have yet to do. (I plan to within the next three months.) Hire a part-time project manager. A good project

When you say aim for 10 years net: if the company nets $100k/yr, you think it'd be reasonable to ask for a $1M sale? Where does this 10x multiplier come from? I thought the prevailing multiplier (for small SaaS) was 3x net.

Seems par for the course don't you think, SpaceX didn't receive much coverage for their grasshopper tests or Falcon 1 flights either? In fact, most of their coverage has just come in the last couple of years after working diligent

The reason is most likely because they saw this on the front-page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16085873 . I've noticed that people like to submit items that are tangentially related to those that popup on the f

Except there's no argument to attack. They never offer any argument or solution and instead seek to spread basic fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD). It's most certainly valid to attack the person when that person has shown a patte

Your comment history shows a rather singular affliction for climate change submissions, along with a very common dismissal.

Thank you, to both of you, for the explanation.

Can you explain this in more detail? I've never used this construct, but I was unaware of its consequences. You've piqued my interest.

I may be conflating the coincidental timing of two events: I mistakenly thought Google Fiber -- in addition to wanting more internet access and faster speeds from incumbents -- was a response to Google's NN concerns, as well.

Yes, I forgot about OneWeb. I'm hoping for the same from either company.

I don't claim to know what Google's motivation is/was with Fiber. But isn't it funny that the company with the most money, one of the best brands, some of the best engineering talent, and access to the deepest bench of l

This, exactly this. I've felt the same increase in development velocity; and an equal increase in confidence. I'm able to deliver systems and walk away with 99% confidence that no one is going to come back to me with a problem. An

Maybe you can help me understand something because I hear this a lot. You manually debug and run your code through "the happy path and edge cases", if I'm understanding you correctly... so, does it really take that much longe

Very clean and easy to read, thanks for sharing. That code is amazingly illuminating.

If I was you, I'd definitely reach out to the author(s). They're usually surprisingly responsive. And they love to hear from people interested in and using their work.

Sure, and what of the users' applications running in the Docker container. It's just not the type of "run anywhere" I was expecting based on the marketing/hype. And the more people kept saying "package once, ru

Stanley might change his tune if he broaden his experiences a bit. A close friend of mine is a 20-something, now, Chief Engineer at a defense contractor working with the big private names and USAF. He was a hardcore Linux guy before taking

Yeah, I'm not sure what these people are talking about. I lived quite well as a single male working in Manhattan proper with a sub six-figure salary; living in Hoboken, and commuting maybe 15-20 mins everyday on the PATH. This was arou

Who explained this to you? Do you have any books, research papers, or documentaries I could look at on this topic? This has to be one of the most insightful comments I've read on the topic of large conglomerates and the American econom

Different people have different reactions. That line is actually what piqued my interest. Since AP CompSci in HS it's been hammered into students that any sort based on comparisons has a strict lower bound of O(n*log n). And sorting is

Absolutely, I count myself lucky. :) And yes, I think that's the right idea. Start out with children's material and progressively move up to more complicated material as you become comfortable. Without subs is the best idea too. H
