There are golden handcuffs called RSUs, shares that are distributed to employees over a longer period of time. The longer you stay, the more shares you get ;-)

Trucking startup? Convoy sounds like an ordinary freight exchange to me, where truckers trade available loading space against transport orders. For each assigned order, the trucker pays a transaction fee to the platform. Plus there are addi

Its very common for people from Salzburg/Austria to shop in the Berchtesgaden region, however with bigger distances from the border this doesn't make sense. Re Austrian products cheaper abroad than in Austria - there was the curio

It is indeed true that we have a lot of supermarkets in Austria, which might make logistics more expensive. But nobody ever explained why we need so many supermarkets from just 3 chains (REWE, Spar, Hofer - everything else is neglectedable)

Fellow Austrian here. Nice price comparison project, but the elephant in the room is that grocery store prices in Germany are 20-40% lower for the same product. Explanation from the supermarket chains are shady at best (more stores per capi

Past performance is a poor indicator for the future performance of a company - just look at the Top Nasdaq 100 constituents for '00s,'10s and 20s. Google is in maintenance mode and not necessarily the best company for rapid promot

A sales contract is always a bilateral agreement between two clubs. Hence you cannot stipulate that the selling club will earn a share in ALL future sales of the player. Only a law could do that.

To me this boils down to Churchhills adage "Don't trust a statistical report unless you fabricated it by yourself". There are so many subtleties when translating business questions into SQL e.g. was the average deal size in t

Doesn't backstage offer auto-discovery of docs, ie create docs folder in repo, throw in some markdown files and everything gets picked up? If so, what kind of maintenance was required?

The copy/paste python function looks nice, but why don't you publish this as a package on pip? Would allow for automatic updates through pip vs copying the function manually into my source code every n months. Transparent license&

In Northern Austria you find a lot of "no gps" signs at the start of agricultural roads. Seems that many lorry drivers rely on google maps for navigation and those small roads are ill-suited for their vehicles, e.g. due to weight

There is indeed a lot you can do to avoid overcrowded sales departments, e.g. define minimum order volumes your prospects need to hit to let your salespeople interact with them (and refer them to an external reseller otherwise). Invest in o

GraphQL Performance is abysmal, because query language is completely detached from the way data is stored and encourages you to select as much as possible.

Exactly. Tech-oriented shareholders are longing for growth, so PE firms often acquire tech companies with a large customer base but no stellar growth story. Besides cutting costs, they also charge customers more. A classic PE game is to dec

Fun fact: German synthie pop band "Münchner Freiheit" used a very similar synth intro in their 1986 hit "Tausendmal du" (a thousand times you). Their song was published just 6 months after Kate Bush released "Runnin

Internal cams in laptops are considered commodities by the laptop manufacturers: they need to put any HD webcam in their product or no customer will buy it, but nobody picks a laptop model just because it has an excellent webcam.

The whole webcam market is in a sad state with little to no R&D and ridiculous prices. How else is it explainable that the 8-year old C920 is still considered a quality leader?
