Not a terrible story, but I was an early employee in a startup and was given a small batch of options to start (and some measure every year as bonus) -- nothing exciting. I think the strike price was like a $.05 a share or something with 20

Asianometry is quickly becoming one of my favorite tech information sources. Rapid, in-depth information that's very clearly explained. Always happy to see it showing up here.

Meet more people? The gross statistics back it up. The average American eats about as much seafood as the average Russian, which is surprising considering one has ample fisheries and coastal areas and the other doesn't. Both countries

I think it's interesting that there are comments even here that say something along the lines of "once I learned that the octopus is capable of thinking I stopped eating them (even though I eat other animals much higher up the evo

Yeah, I'm being reductive. But my impression as an American is that you don't have to get very far from a coastal area for seafood to pretty quickly diminish on the plates of the average person...and there's a lot of the U.

Octopus is a pretty great cooked food, not as a sashimi. In Korean cuisine, at least, you find it stir fried, with noodles, in rice bowls, in soups...all sorts of things. There's several different kinds commonly eaten, from very small

The Mound reeks of the kind of bizarre projects that are usually accompanied by significant graft. I have a feeling that somewhere in the WCC there's a person who was planning on getting kickbacks from the construction or demolition co

Snowboarding and skiing have entirely different early difficulty curves. Skiing is much easier to pick up at an early level and "get down the hill" with. But I think once you crest that initial curve it takes longer to become re

What games does the Index support that the Quest 2 doesn't? Honest question since the Q2 works fine with Steam VR.

It's almost impossible to understand how minimal and spare of a design the Speccy was. Yet it fostered a creative community that produced literally thousands of titles. It's something of a lesson in how you don't need the mos

I actually think it's a shame. It seems that many English Lit departments (and associated K-12 pedagogy) have arrive at a kind expected & trite monoculture of thought. There's a tremendous value to being able dissect a text, f

I'm not sure what country you're in, but in the U.S. the problem is in how it's broadcast now. The broadcast rights never should have been sold exclusively for such a long time and NBC is a terrible steward of sports and the

What makes nonsense like this work is that there really is a percentage of people who actually completely buy into the nonsense and find it all very "inspiring".

That's a really good point. In fact I did buy the Switch to play both BotW and SMO. I keep forgetting that Nintendo first party titles are so dominant in sales vs. other large franchises. I keep thinking they're just large on t

Same boat. After the Wii I was done. If I wanted to put money into gaming it was going to be on PC. The Switch isn't the most powerful, or has the best library (Nintendo first party games notwithstanding), or the most portable, but it&

At the very least, you will get injured doing farmwork. I don't have statistics on hand, but I'd wager the need for emergency medical support is likely far higher than a white collar office job.
