That doesn't really happen in reality. Convergence is fast and as long as your datacenters are topologically disparate enough, you won't have random route selection changes outside of failures, in which case, the connection would have fail

If by "completely" you mean "not at all" then yes. First 5,000 requests are still free, and the prices are very inexpensive at the low-end, and I'll bet at the high-end you are either generating revenue and/or could negotiate with them.

Again, a wild and broad conclusion based on my perspective that perks for employees are valid for actual employees, and not former employees. The company should have paid it out when he earned it. The employee should have requested it bef

Do you always come to these conclusions so quickly? I'm sharing my opinion, based on my experiences. I also explained that at my company perks are for employees, a status that the OP no longer maintains at Miso. Neither of us know the spe

At my company, it's a perk. And I love paying it out. And my loyalty is to my employees. I would bleed for them. But it's not to my former employees. As I approach 100 employees, many who have been with me for 4+ years, I find my stanc

Your analogy makes no sense.

"Because you are no longer employed by Miso, you are not eligible for this bonus." I must say, I completely agree. This is how it works. Your referral bonus is a perk, and nothing more. You didn't claim it. They weren't on top of it. Y

LPs need a two-tiered investing model. It's true, outside of the very few top performers, everyone else is a loser. Unfortunately, once in a while, a loser, or more likely, a new fund hits a home run. They should have a portion allocated

An employee who fabricates credentials is fabricating other things as well. Your statement is saying that you are making a conscious decision to continue employing a person who misleads and misrepresents. You might be okay with that, but t

It's worth pointing out that some business models only work at scale, which isn't a reason not to try and start those kinds of businesses. That's one reason to not try and squeeze nickels out of a growing business when you know you'll get q

The best part of seeing these is that the company can find out what at least one talented designer see's as their value prop and message and then map it to what they want people to see and understand. Design then supports that vision.
