I have an Aunt who is no longer able to find a job in the industry she originally worked due to a legal battle with someone who is well known and respected in that industry. She has a job in a different industry now and makes significantly

Normally services like this make you add a DNS record and/or file to the target to confirm you are the owner.

Fair enough. Maybe it is more like .1-1%. I made up the 5% number off the top of my head tbh. I'd really need to sit down and see what % of startups actually go public. That would be a fairer number to use. 1 in 20? 1 in 50? 1 in 100?

I'd say the options are worth more like 5% of whatever their value is when you get them. They aren't worthless but it really is a high risk gamble that you are going to get value out of them.

It is an abuse of monopoly power in this situation to pay below market rates. You don't screw people who had faith [investors; early employees with equity] in you. They shouldered a good deal of risk and you knifed them in the back by

If you got into a legal battle with your employer, there would be consequences to future employment. The same is true of investors. A legal battle with a company you invested in might close off access to future deals. Now, a reasonable pers

Yes, but they should pay market rates for the stock. The article made it sound like they were trying to buy it up at $4 billion evaluation when they knew they'd be auctioning some off for $10+ billion.

There was a half hearted attempt http://pdf.aiaa.org/preview/2001/PV2001_3363.pdf However, it wasn't an identical attempt in terms of materials, process, etc...so I'm not sure it really counts.

What we do at work is every developer has their own VM on an on-premise server in a locked room that is rebuilt/destroyed as needed with the full stack. So maybe he just wasn't being clear?

I'd like to do something like this, my problem is I generally don't know anyone I trust that much that is also technical enough to make use of it.

Ya this seems like hyperbole. I clicked on it thinking it was that annoying sound from older TVs when they are just 'on' but nothing is play [no static, etc].

That sounds very weird but different job markets I suppose. Why do you think that is?

I don't do recruiting and I don't work for a startup. ;) But this is true.

And this is why all this "cooperation" is a real problem. It is basically an end run around the legal authority they've been given in regards to domestic v. foreign surveillance capabilities. Realistically, the only way to se

Haha, you'd never send me one of those emails so we'll never know. <3

That is pretty impressive. I guess more people respond to cold email/calling than I would have thought. Personally, I always click spam on that kind of thing unless I've shown somewhere that I'm actively searching.

I used to play Diplomacy in High School and we all pretty much played that way. ;) I generally assume that is how people in the real world behave as well and I'm usually right. It is part of why I'll never be a libertarian, when t

It is alot like Diplomacy. You want to be honorable/nice until you are playing for the final outcome of your career, then you stop playing nice. The CEO at one of the places I've worked basically screwed over 80+ people to get his

1) Access a page you control to check. 2) Silk is the only one I know of that a mere coding error could cause this. It isn't like Chrome and Firefox have a fleet of machines and code designed to act as an always-on proxy.

Ya, I love the Resistance. The only problem is, 3 of us that play are too good at lying that none of us ever trust them which makes the game really, really hard to win. Everyone usually ends up losing as much as they win because of it. Ther

That isn't what I meant. Amazon's business model works. It just doesn't take "100% of the profits" by any stretch of the imagination. Sorry if that was unclear.
