He is relatively early at Cloudflare, joining via CF’s acquisition of his startup. My understanding most Tier 1 employers are paying $700k-$1.5m usd per year in TC. $75k is less than his tax bill. Also the home is in Texas (I think). So low

Firefox has ads on by default. I can’t develop apps to the AppStore without an iOS device, which is a source of income for me. Degoogled androids have issues with push notifications and banking apps There isn’t an AirPod pro experience on G

In another charity, I offered the 1:1 match. My reasoning was 0/ marketing 1/ credibility. Someone wealthy thinks the charity is important If you publicly give $2m, people might think, that’s probably enough… no need to give more.

must be nice... On iOS, I see ads for paying for iCloud. Entering my own apartment, the elevator has ads blasting on the tv. Wont even start on Windows or web browsers.

I probably would buy/read it, but I wouldn't rush out to buy one. I barely passed stats in college and I wish had a better intuitive understanding.

Not that I know about these things... Some people buy used hot rods on Facebook Marketplace for around $100k, then trade them in to a dealership. They claim they only paid $5k for the car and their labor increased the value to $100k, then u

criminals can’t deposit their money into a bank, but they can buy a $200,000 Lambo.

As others have touched on, you're applying black and white thinking on what should be a gradient. Artists and scientists have famously been prosecuted for different communication. But at the same time, communication gaps also resulted

The friction in my story resulted in 2 unhappy people, a relationship lost, when what should have been fun experience for both.

I love/hate how Google translate assumes "Anh" means "brother" or "em" means "girl". This confusion has resulted in Vietnamese people unintentionally describing incest or gay relationships. [0] -

I asked a Vietnamese woman if she wanted to play board games at a cafe with me. She got very upset and stormed off. 2 hours later, she messaged me: "sorry, I was rude, but I will not go to the casino with you." Common language, cu

Can't speak for InDrive's safety rating, but I would pay 30-50% more for Uber's safety tech (on a $5 ride) than a company with less funding. (I'm ex-Grab).

you're not wrong, but its really annoying carrying 2 laptops and 2 phones and 2 charging bricks [0]. Especially when work picks out the 16.2" laptop for you. [0] - Yes, I know there are 3rd party multi-port USB-C charging products

can you cite the source? I'd imagine temporary (15 minutes?) disruption would be considered in the design of pacemakers or blood glucose monitors, but if you're using this in close proximity for a long period of time... then would

The economic term is "price gauging". OP increased the cost of forex from 0-5% to 15% when his "friend" was desperate.

The economic term is "price gauging". You charged a $15usd (~15%) fee when your friend was desperate and willing, when the standard fee for such transactions is at best 0% and worst 5%.

If I was in that situation and I’d help my friend not try to make a buck off them when they are down. Between electronic transfer and just settle the debt later, isn’t really an excuse…

I’m informed on this topic… Can you correct the mistake? If I show up in China (or the USA) on a tourist visa with the plans to pursue a marriage and permanent residency, does that mean I get to backdate my permanent residency to the touris

There is truth to your statement, but high salaries and demand encourage locally capable people to enter the industry. Consider growth of CS graduates in the past 5 years or the number of people that transitioned into tech (like myself). In

(a) I responded to OP's comment about H1-Bs, not the article itself. Even then, presumably, they paused processing new visa and the people that have already obtained them may continue to stay. If they fail to renew GC during this time,
