Google has taken over some space (unclear how much) in Starret-Lehigh and Alphabet/Sidewalk have space in Hudson Yards. The new offices down by Houston are years away.

If you think of 1994 as late 1990s, sure. Cookies have been around almost as long as the web proper, and vilified for about the same amount of time.

I have a single user G Suite account. The admin UI has a panel where you can pull up some delivery information about messages using various search criteria, and you can delete messages by message id. I haven’t seen anything in the UI which

The US elected Donald Trump as President, who then reversed the Obama Administration approach to Iran and reimposed sanctions. With respect to Slack, if they intend to IPO in 2019 they may be going through a due diligence checklist as other

Go to NYTM and maybe other meetups in your "space"…there's always people looking to get in on the ground floor on something. See if you can found a company while working for PTC without compromising your job/equity in PT

The groundwork for the redevelopment of LIC was laid in the City's failed bid for the 2012 Olympic Games. While the bid failed, Bloomberg continued to push for redevelopment and IIRC lead some rezoning. Would not surprise me if devel

I’m guessing 100% here that it’s the number of options or RSUs roughly equal to 15% of the salary. Even if it was 20% of the current salary it isn’t a good deal.

So, stay in your current job, set aside the 25% of your income you'd be losing by going to this startup, build up your savings, and find a company willing to hire you at or above your current salary. Don't subsidize a startup by t

Let's say you make 100000 today. They're offering you 75000 plus 15000 (20% of 75000) in equity which is likely vested over four years with a one year cliff. So, you stay four years. You've earned 300000 and now have 15000 i

four11.com, an early (1995?) opt-in contact directory. Vaguely recall it supporting LDAP. When Yahoo bought it in 1997 they promptly shut off everything but the web mail, much like Comcast buying Plaxo a decade later and killing most of the

Infrared used to be used prior to Bluetooth to transfer data between phones and PCs. The speed was useless for anything significant but you could send small files (business cards, text files, etc).

The current US government approach to immigrants, legal or otherwise, would seem designed to convince immigrants to go elsewhere. I think China will be fine given that it can simply shut down exports to the US if Trump's tariff pet

Caveat: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. I'd start by finding and consulting an employment law attorney, they can best walk you through your options under California and US Federal law. Beyond that: document everything d

I remember Cello, I think I even tried the beta port of it to OS/2. IIRC it died fairly quickly after Mosaic appeared. TCP/IP on OS/2 2.x and Windows 3.x was provided through shims or DLLs. I think out-of-the-box OS/2 ca
