I agree you were screwed. But you were screwed because you didn't recognize that: * contracts where you as have no negotiation leverage to change the terms of the deal - are always bad. * business-to-consumer contracts are always set u

I am with you on this. Google needs to demonstrate enterprise awareness about needed guarantees. However, the bigger issue is that AWS isn't "broken". There is no compelling reason to look at alternative solutions. In particu

Yes as a driver you should anxiously check for cyclists - just like you should check for kids and other people that can be killed by your driving. I teach my kids that their number one job when driving is to not kill anyone.

No there isn't. H1-B workers can't leave their current employer easily. (green card applications go to back of the line, must get a new job fast if they are laid-off, etc.) H1-B employees are not mobile thus their salaries lack ot

Scary. I basically learned something I thought I knew - debt is bad. Really bad. We survived but it was only because we clamped down super hard and interest rates dropped. When times are good, cut your debt so you owe nothing. Get some savi

Humorous point of view. You are welcome to move to a place that permits employees to be abused. The hardest problem I have is hiring good people: Not taxes. If a business wants to move to out of the largest economy in the U.S. -- well then
