Well, if my understanding is correct, he made something like ~$120M when he left Google and a similar lump sum (most in Uber stock) when Otto was acquired by Uber. I don't think he'll have problems in paying bills and rent (if he

I have been looking for a house to buy in SF for the last 6 months. What's been very interesting is that most of the houses we have reviewed, did not have solid foundations (many being 2-unit condos). They are all located in liquefacti

I had the very same reaction after reading this. A long post that describes how bad patent trolls are, a general call to embrace the fight, everyone should join the fight sponsored by Cloudflare and together we can win! But, if for whatever

We have offices in Europe and US. While today we travel multiple times a quarter between the offices, I can see how people will not want to cross US borders no more than once a year. I also wonder how this (plus all the shenanigans on borde

If they are calling from California, they are covered by the 2-party consent state law. It's very easy to get accused of wiretapping under these laws, so watch out. Last, even if you get such a recording, it'd be an unnamed guy sa

In Italy, where racketeering is very common in the South, we have special laws and protections to fight it - because proving it, it is not easy at all. You get threats that are implied and not explicit. If "something happens" you
