If I may ask, what kind of functionality have you been trying to implement in a Kong plugin?

Marco here, Kong's CTO. We hear you, we are aware that plugin development is not as easy as we wish, and we are planning to rollout a few improvements next year to make it mainstream, including: - A built-in Lua plugin API that abstrac

Oh come on, you know what he meant. This is getting to a point that even genuinely talking about it, and rightly so, risks backfiring at you because there’s always somebody willing to make 10 extra mental steps to find it offensive.

In a society that offers both, why would anybody choose marriage over a civil union?

by fosk 9y ago
I thought marriage was about love, but if it ends up being about managing resources then why not start something like a company with equal(or not) shares, vesting periods, etc? It would make more sense to me because it's a more efficie

Of course Travis still thinks that, he is the founder. He cares about the long term survival of Uber, not about an exit event. Uber is in a complicated industry, in complicated times with very aggressive competitors. It just takes time, but

Yes, at a 30% discount. Seems like Benchmark is pursuing other options to avoid selling at a lower price (although with a huge return on their investment regardless).
