Instagram is a perfect business case on how to integrate an acquisition and make it better than it could have been on its own. It should be studied in business schools as to how to not fuck up an acquisition. So many companies buy things th

You would think a professor in Constitutional Law would be eager to plug a whole that the police were taking advantage of, namely suing the money instead of suing the person. Yet all there was was deafening silence. So disappointing when p

The fact that this monstrosity of justice has continued, even under presidents such as Obama, make me so angry and upset. It's exactly what happens when you let the police do whatever they want, without someone to curtail their behavio

The author has the privilege to not have to raise his child the way he was, because he is very successful and rich. Once you have economic wealth, you reach higher and higher on the Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs. He and his children have

I meant the politicians, you're right. I updated it. I stand by my words though that the politicians are disgusting. I feel the same way about Democrat politicans as well, though.

This statement is wrong. He has always been fair and lawful, to say otherwise shows ignorance of his breadth of work, not only at the Supreme Court, but his entire career. Roberts is an honorable man, regardless of who put him in.

State and Federal governments should outlaw any non-recyclable plastic. I'm okay paying higher prices, but they should streamline the plastics that are used in packaging and in products so that everything can be recycled and consumers

Finding therapists is very, very hard. Not only do they have to be good, but they also have to mesh with your style. I've gone through this tiresome process. You need to go in with the attitude that the therapist is going to suck, and

Your definition of diversification is flawed. Their customers are diversified not only across product sectors, but across the globe. Unless internet traffic or engagement drops, which it hasn't yet and probably won't until a new t

I disagree, I don't think anyone can contribute meaningfully in 3 months. I think a one year cliff is perfectly reasonable for a startup. We will agree to disagree, but I don't think any startup will agree with you, it rewards peo

Sounds like Cap Table hell. If you're only there for 3 months, why should you get rewarded when chances are you didn't contribute anything to the company? I think a 1 year cliff makes even more sense for a startup than an establis

Facebook and Google and others make their money globally. They don't actually make a lot of money from Silicon Valley that's just where their workers are. I can't think of a more diversified, protected stream of income than o

No, only global variables are zero-initialized. Neither stack variables nor malloced memory will be zero-initialized. OP should have memset to 0 or calloced the memory.

Not even this works. They forgot to force the last byte as a NULL, which is a classic bug in C. Either that or memset the char array before using it. But what the blog poster did is a pure bug.

You only need 1 good show that would encourage people to keep their $10/month Netflix subscription. So I assume that extremely high ratings has no particular advantage, but they need to have very high breadth in terms of population cov

I have a Honda Fit and it's a beautiful car. I am in love with it, and I don't think I will ever buy another type of car again. The maintenance costs are ultra low, much lower than my Honda Accord. But there is no way it gets 35 m

REITs will be terrible investments in a rising interest rate environment. Right now its survivable but as interest rates keep going up, they will get hammered in value.

I'm an old programmer (almost 50). I completely disagree with you. Young people are very, very smart. I hate old programmers that think they have an edge over young people. I've worked with kids who could be my children, and they
