The level of control depends on the term sheet. As far as I understand, there is always a degree of control/preference, even when VC's share is minor. I haven't heard of term sheets that would give total carte blanche to the

The headline doesn't seem to be correct. From the announcement: >Teams in Trello can be free... free Teams in Trello can have up to 10 open boards, and can upgrade to Business Class or Enterprise for unlimited boards.

>But was it worth $12k for less than 40 hours of total work? That's $300/hr. Similar to what lawyers ask. Although, I suspect that a lot more education is required to become a lawyer than a real estate agent.

The world has changed, but not that much. People do have mailboxes, mailing addresses and receive letters at least once in a while. Again, they drive cars, use public transit, walk on streets, etc. The real life still here, far not everyt

One of the most interesting explanations of emotions that I've read is that emotions are subconscious predictions produced by the brain (sorry, didn't save the link). For instance, happiness is a subconscious prediction of safet

It's not ridiculous. It just means that they are not ready to provide regular long-term technical support for Firefox users yet, even if it technically works in the current version of Firefox. The reason can be anything - lack of resou

I don't think the migration is caused by privacy concerns. Facebook has become ridiculously bloated with all kinds of features up to the point where it starts resembling enterprise software rather than an online consumer service. Even

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention destructive ideologies. Early Christianity contributed to the demise of Roman empire. Marxism and fascism destroyed quite a few nations.

Exactly. That's the point. Just pricing information (be it salary or car prices) makes little sense. Market transparency that you mentioned earlier makes sense only for standardized goods/services. Software jobs are not standardiz

Salary transparency is not possible and would be highly misleading because jobs are not standardized. A "senior Java developer" can be anything. Then you would have to provide a job description in a comparable format for every sal

The fad is not the technology but the hype around it. The expectations are overblown. Safe, suitable for mass use, understandable from a legal perspective, self-driving cars most probably won't happen in the next 10 years.

As a user I don't mind sending diagnostic information for debugging, but that should be transparent to me and controllable. Why not just show a dialog saying "a crash happened, here is what is going to be sent to us, uncheck items
