The one thing that can be said about lockdowns is that it's not some obvious clear cut "it definitely helps a ton" type of thing. If that were true we should see nations and US states with strict lockdowns do much better th

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who knows the general compensation strategy for all the major tech companies. They don't pay based either on value added or cost of living (which is why compensation is higher in the Bay

Has your answer to the question "would you recommend going for a PhD?" changed since you started?

The developing experience I don't agree with. I find Android Studio (being essentially IntelliJ) so much better than xcode. I only use the built in emulator for smaller projects but what do you dislike about it? The things I miss in xc

I agree with your overall point but as a small nit: usually founders hold common stock, so they will get paid at the same rate as employees (bar "acquisition bonuses" and other similar things).

It seems like start-ups could catch up, at least somewhat, by offering more stock. Right now founders are still ending up with an order of magnitude or more stock than the first few employees. There are certainly situations where that mak

One of your pleasures, which is awesome for you. I wish I enjoyed cooking, but I don't, so if you've been through this a million times maybe it's time to stop assuming it's some universal joy?

For a lot of people assigning a "reasonable" cost per hour spent cooking results in cooking for yourself being more expensive.

This article is really weird, because the person in Dogpatch says they were granted OPTIONS not stock. So it's possible that this doesn't even touch on liquidation preferences and the strike price was just higher than the sale pri

Having eaten both the quantities really are that different. A typical American sub has much more sauce than a Norwegian sandwich has butter. Kalle's is so flavorful that you don't need a lot of it, but I agree it would be the most

Around 500kcals sounds about right. I wouldn't really call a single QP a big meal. I think your comparison to other subs is off thought. Depending on the meat of the sub you might be reducing protein, but the Norwegian sandwich definit

It's kind of a bummer to see so many comments going straight for the judgmental angle. I think you will be happier as a person if you try to take on a more curiosity driven mindset. There are a bunch of pros to eating like this, and th

These sandwiches are really tasty. Simple things made well can be really good.

How expensive are you seeing? Paying someone on the order of $10 in total (fee + service charge + tip) for them to bring you your food can make a lot of sense if you consider the amount of time saved.

In this story it sounds like the king was kind of stupid. And if the deal is no longer good, just walk away, but now with more options than OP.

Right. Spend 5 minutes flattering the king, and benefit from the outsized rewards from it.

There seems to be a valuable lesson for OP about the cost of not playing ball here. Assuming OPs side of things is mostly true it sounds like: - OP was working for a bad director, one so bad that they eventually got fired - Instead of placa

It will be very hard for anyone outside of the people directly involved to have an informed opinion about this, simply because Google will never release their side of the story. That being said, I have seen several people claiming "I w

That all startup employees work 80 hour weeks for 50% below market salary is not something I think is true at all. I would like to see a source on that start-up employees (not founders) work significantly longer hours than other tech worker

I don't understand why you think such black-and-white thinking is needed. The correct thing should be to appropriately discount the options to account for these things instead of saying it's zero. Sure, walking in with the naive a

I don't think that's the right way to think about it. Everyone got "screwed" on equity, including the founders. Separately Amazon decided to set up packages for employees they thought were to valuable to lose. If an earl

It does feel like a lot of the news are misrepresented or skewed. Take CA as an example. This was FB acting as a developer portal and the following happened (to the best of my knowledge) using Apple as a substitute. 1. Your friend downloads
