Definitely not. Having your fuel economy measured in MPG but having your fuel tank size & fillups measured in L is always a fun game.

Issuing new grants almost certainly falls afoul of the law around tax-deferred equity that requires "Substantial risk of Forfeiture".

AFAIK most of the pressure is around RSU expiration, not options. So - no (Unless we're talking about Stripe changing this equity program even further)

Good. The podcast landscape is one of the few bastions of openness on the internet, walled gardens of exclusives suck. Plus, as other folks have mentioned, their podcast support itself is so much worse than dedicated podcast apps.

Sounds like for the best for the economy (also presumably, never going to happen).

The messaging here is absolutely terrible, but I suspect most premium users will keep their subscription. There was a similar uproar last time when they gated a bunch of popular features behind premium, but anecdotally it massively incre

There is a light. The problem is if only 1 is charging, you'll still see the "charging" light while the other slowly loses battery. I've dealt with this occasionally, from what I suspect is some buildup on the contacts d

Got a Mazda3 this year and the "no bullshit" infotainment stack was a huge selling point for me. Airplay integration using a knob is a little wonky in places (primarily interacting with maps), but I consider it a feature not a bug

Yes, but grants that convert to NSOs after departure are possible. Worse from a taxation perspective, but better than losing them.

Yet another reason not to join any startup that still does 90 day option expiration.

The dude was 100% cheating, but the internet vigilantism around this was awful. One of the many unfortunate side effects of the largest (english?) running forum being a glorified 4chan run by 2 idiots, one of whom then gets interviewed for

Serves static content (which envoy still can't do AFAICT) Simpler to set up for a basic proxy. For more complex usage though, nginx is certainly outclassed (at least the OSS version)

Absolutely agreed, but events like one-off secondaries can somewhat distort the numbers in that they put costs that should be amortized over many in years into a single quarter. You see similar at big cos 6mos after IPO when everything vest

Was wondering why their FY21 costs where much higher than first half of this year, this probably explains it: > Stock-based compensation expense for fiscal 2020 and 2021, and six months ended July 31, 2021 includes $32.7 million, $103.8

IME: the quality/convenience/size of Airpod Pros very much justifies the premium over competing products. Crucially though, the premium in this case is more like $50-$80, not $200

Oh shit you created indieshuffle? We're getting way off topic here, but I'm curious what your thoughts on the current state of the world on music blogging is. I was pretty big into following the music blog/hype machine scene
