I personally decided to use a local file after all. Pros: + I can cache it for a very long time, so all my returning visitors don't have re-download it. I was very surprised to see that CDN's jquery had a very short 'Expire' headers + If my

That's not an option for me, my database is more than 20G.

My database is on their $20/month plan. I'm not sure, maybe I was just unlucky with Linode. Just to give you an example - I have an SQL query that was taking ~90 seconds on Linode and when I moved it became 5 seconds. Again, YMMV.

I'm not 100% sure, but my lawyers told be that if you're in CA and you have DE corp - you have to pay state taxes in BOTH CA and DE. Again, not 100%. I ended up with CA S-corp.

I think it's one of the best posts I've ever seen on stock options. Too many people think too much of their stock options, while in reality in most cases they are worth close to nothing. This is something everyone has to consider when their
