   I don't know of any public resources on the topic, or of any law firms that are particularly adept at this. However, I have seen it done in practice. I'd recommend talking to a law firm that's well versed in startup corporate

   One way to avoid the whole stock option / RSU mess is to structure your company as a C-corp that is wholly owned by an LLC, and give your employees membership units in the LLC. This is a very unusual setup and it'll take a good la

   A loan of the exercise price + 40% to cover taxes sounds like the best of all worlds to me.

   I am probably exactly your target market. But I'm also very particular about the way I fly and optimize for status. The variables in my case are that I'm only really interested in UA flights out of SFO. The likelyhood of a deal li

   I don't know I'd be willing to pay $8/mo for a service where I don't know if the notifications will be timely enough or of actually good deals. But I would happily pay 10-15% of the ticket price as a finder's fee fo

   Even though it's slower, I avoid the latter form as a matter of style. I think it's super important that if a method yields, it's shown in the method signature. Otherwise, your code won't be self-documenting, and it&#x27

   Good point. Edited my comment to reflect it was bad math.

    EDIT: my napkin math turns out to have been closer to "toilet paper math" because it was completely wrong. See child comment for details. Interestingly, Charmin as a brand has revenue around ~2.5B[1], which when multiplied by P&am

    Not to mention that you'll probably have to pay for those options at a strike price equivalent to a valuation of $3M+. You only make money on the difference. You'd end up with a sub-100k pay day.

    This has always been my favorite way to generate IDs, though I typically do it with a 64bit integer and a custom epoch. Being able to store keys as 64bit integers is much easier to work with, and also much more efficient than b64 encoding.

    Curious, why the resurrection? Personally, I found the post distasteful, though not enough so to merit a flag. I think its us-vs-them tone and cherry-picking of facts makes it very easy to dismiss outright. I think that does the women in ou

    Selling $11M in bitcoin on the open market would likely crash the market. According to blockchain.info, the average day sees about ~7M USD of bitcoin traded. Not to mention any of the negative signaling if people got wind of the sale.

    Responding to GP; I think it's a tiny bit clearer with `== true`, but I don't feel particularly strongly about it. I wrote this code without caring too much about style and cleanliness. However, I don't agree that the shortes

    LoDash actually, not Underscore. Mostly because it's included by the game already. The code should run as-is. That said, it does occasionally get stuck. I think I have a bug with the direction indicators.

    Doesn't seem like a fair comparison of the language implementations, since Python is running on modern hardware, and BASIC isn't. It'd be more interesting to run a BASIC implementation from 80s on a modern CPU and compare tha

    I sometimes take Uber/Lyft or UberPool/LyftLine to and from work, which costs me ~$4-7 without surge pricing. Most of the time I walk. I probably spend ~$40/month on commute to work via Uber/Lyft, walking the rest. That

    You can get between any two places in SF in less than 30 minutes by hopping into an Uber/Lyft. And the distances are small enough that that trip will never be unreasonably priced. Plus, everything that matters in tech is located in eit

    I'd say the biggest resurgence in tech on the west coast is not actually in "The Valley," where you spend your time on the 101 between Palo Alto and Mountain View, but rather in San Francisco.

    Om is built on top of React. I'm not sure how you reconcile "React sucks" with "Om is the future" given that.
