at a large enough company with an independent enough board, sure. but these committees are largely driven by ceremony and politics under the guise of having to do with objectivity.

many companies have instant acceleration on change of control, with regard to the vesting point.

No, they neglected it because they originally wanted protections afforded to “common carriers”. Now they are trying to have their cake and eat it too.

No. If the pilot declares an emergency the pilot is in command, effectively.

There is lock in to the wider ecosystem beyond a particular phone feature, eg. iMessage, iTunes, HomePod, etc. Plus, apple has a huge lead in CPU and GPU performance and this is only accelerating, paving the way for future potential phone f

It's the same in the USA. The percentages are just different. In the USA, if you are quoted $100k salary, it costs the company about $120k+ (depending on how you account/include things). Yes, it complicates things, and makes compa

It’s not common but isn’t completely unusual. It can be structured in different ways but is often referred to as a “breakup fee”. My sense is it’s much more common on larger deals than smaller ones, though.

Thanks for the grafana shoutout. Glad you find the Postgres support in it useful. Out of curiosity, re: constraints in your example couldn't you easily do something like removeAboveValue(50) when retrieving your data from these faulty

I don't think its fair to say payroll should always be the largest expense. Different businesses have different cost structures. I used to run a hosting company and as we scaled up our bandwidth and infra costs eclipsed our payroll cos

10 friends sharing a t1 falls apart if more than 1 friend wants to stream a movie at the same time. Or if just one friend wants to stream a HD movie. A t1 is 1.54mbit.

Really psyched to see this drop, the new engines performance looks amazing. And performance was already pretty stellar to start with! Looks like Prometheus is also now the most popular tsdb on github! The grafana team is working quite heavi

Maybe predatory is a strong word. Many OSS projects would characterize them that way though, I think. Your point about impact to the ecosystem is a fair one, but in some cases it is more co-opt rather than contribute.

Nope. For an example look st elasticsearch. Pretty predatory.

Sorry, you are associating aws and ec2 with the advent of non capex intensive web hosting or dedicated servers. Prior to ec2 there were plenty of cost effective hosting options beg rackspace, rackshack, softlayer, digitalnation, verio, thep

It's a great system. The swiftness with which the singapore government installed electronic sensors _in every single car in singapore_ was also breathtaking. Bloomberg tried to do an ERP in NYC when he was mayor, but he couldn't g

It's funny to look at the history. When Singapore separated from Malaysia, many people thought that Singapore wouldn't be able to survive as an independent nation island state, with no natural resources. Today Singapore has the la

Yeah airlines "yield management" and "pricing" departments are indeed a black art. But, by and large, they're still not "personalizing" pricing. Instead they are basing pricing on factors like demand, dest

How many times do we have to do what? Google is absolutely selling your data to advertisers. If you mean they won't sell it to them in raw form I guess you're technically correct, and I'd of course agree with you, but I don&#

Have no idea why you're being downvoted. I think your point is salient and under appreciated. Certainly from my own experiences it's easy to get caught up in the product and the tech, and not focus enough on the biz side of things

Yes, pilots are trained, and the design helps too. You first rotate the airframe at Vr speed (velocity rotate). Pilots are trained on their aircraft how much to rotate, and the design of the rear fuselage allows for initial rotation. Once y

Because they tend to have big egos (even fighter pilots will admit that ;-) and spend a lot of time telling flying stories.

So why weren't employee protection or training part of the tax break? Same point.

So companies should follow the law? I think you're really arguing for better employee protection in the USA ?

I think people who have that view feel that corporations can't arrest you, can't seize your assets, can't restrict your travel, etc etc.

because at the time very few people had the guts to?

leaving money on the table aside, wouldn't that have annoyed the people that paid more for the higher range? ie. their best customers?

Then it wouldn't be, by definition, a normal bsd license.
