It is in fact not the practice of most publicly traded companies to award equity outside the tech company, even to highly-compensated employees.

Worth noting that the big pharmacies do not, from casual eyeball, appear to be wasting out of proportion to the amount they administered. (The U.S. allocated more than half of all doses to the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program and big pharmac

This reminds me of Cobol Cowboys (actual motto: "It's not our first rodeo."), a consultancy of aging Cobol developers brought in by banks/etc when the systems which run the economy need maintenance work done on them. ht

My highest charged rate was $30k, though I did have $50k accepted on a proposal once (engagement didn't happen). Presumably rates have moved up in last several years as everything else in tech is moving up (irrespective of whether my v

Experiences can be compelling without being addictive, which is a distinction I think sometimes lost here. Civilization is compelling and I for one have lost some sleep to Just One More Turn, but one rarely loses one's job or family ov

Happy to chat about it, HN, since otherwise I'd just be playing more Genshin Impact. My capsule review of the game nobody asked for: if you like Breath of the Wild, you'll likely enjoy it a lot. It is not as pure of an exploration

It's fascinating trying to get a good grip on how to capture the health of a portfolio in summary statistics. (I coded the dashboard to do this back in the day.) Average probably is not it, because of the distribution of startups along

We hear you, and are hard at work on making taxes easier. Moving money around is very core to what we do, and money movements between companies and tax agencies are one of the largest funds flows for companies subject to that sort of regime

Priority #1 is making sure it works in California; we'll need to sustain volunteer attention for days/weeks, etc, while working kinks out of the system. Broadly we will probably publish the "recipe" (rather little code i
