Hashicorp updating the Vault terms so people don't "docker run vault" and run a competing service. Sure. I get it. Hashicorp changing the Terraform terms.... absolute dick move. Terraform is not an open souce service ; it&#x

While this is a very welcome improvement in terms of functionality, I can't help by feel that the re-use of "restartPolicy" to mean something similar, but different, when used in a different context, is a very poor decision.

This is throwing fuel on the fire, not only by increasing demand in an already supply-constrained environment, but by the government of california committing $300M to fairly-directly invest in residential real estate. It's also not ent

That's a fair point, but wasn't that $95B valuation based on an ~$500M fundraise primarily to the irish government (as well as, I'm assuming, any funds that had participation rights)? I'm not saying it doesn't loo

I completely agree with your point here, but I also don’t agree with this announced decision. There should definitely be a place for a company to hold $10M without risk. Maybe $20M. That doesn’t mean that it needs to be the same place for a

Taking out 7-8 figure loans to exercise start-up options in a private company in a time of decreasing valuations and market uncertainty sounds like a pretty poor idea.

Yes. Unless you (and your team) are well-versed with python and how async works, and all the dependencies you use, is it very easy to accidentally do something blocking in async and lose most of the benefits.

By that logic it works the other way too. They miss out on interest on funds that were delayed in being sent to them.
