Got to wonder what the ratio will be for cocaine purchased per share. This IPO looks like it's headed for the Guinness Book of World Records, but I'd be curious to see how it stacks up with other IPOs. My bet is Uber is the overal

My mom has SFSN and my brother has CIDP. From what I've seen IV IG is the only treatment for this kind of condition currently available and, even then, it's not a permanent fix. My brother has had it several times and it saved his

To me this seems pretty straightforward. App Stores are directly tied and bundled with the operating system. Within the device universe there are basically 2 choices of operating systems. This is an extremely concentrated industry with an e

I know this article is about Indian tech workers living in the US but it seems part of a broader trend in Indian society. I'm not Indian but I have worked and lived in India for a long time. In my opinion this problem is getting worse.

Not a lawyer but been through the incorporation process a few times: get a startup lawyer and commit to spending $2-5k just on legal fees in your first year. Each patent you want is $20k so you should probably not waste your time or money w

Haha, come on. If you're going to model compound losses you should at least try and address compound growth. Wealth taxes are desirable because they erode dynastic wealth. That's a feature, not a bug. This is the same kind of du

Similar experience and totally agree. How often do people go out of their way to improve a severely limiting code base? Not enough.

In general it shouldn't be the case that working part time disqualifies someone from earning unemployment or disability checks. It's pointlessly punitive and reduces health, happiness and productivity for the entire labor force.

ion precedes PartiQL by many years, maybe even a decade. The sole reason ion exists is to make parsing json faster and less ambiguous so that a few specific edge cases are handled efficiently. So far so good, right? The problem is that it s

In my (worthless) opinion, I'm 90% sure that Google wants to drive istio in the direction of supporting AnthOS and that's why they're vying for control of the project. It seems increasingly clear to me that their entire cloud

Totally agree with you. This is an attempt to make heroku for enterprise-scale systems. The risk, as a user, is that you end up locked into a ton of automatically configured, Azure-specific costs. It's a recipe for an anti-trust suit b

Oracle used to be by far and away the best database out there. Now I wouldn’t use it even if you paid me. It’s shocking how little Oracle invested in developing their products and services over the years. They are a distant second, if not m

There are wild differences between flex and ride sharing. Amazon already had an internal project that was going to compete with Lyft and Uber. It was called Rides and it was abandoned. Rex Tibbens headed that project and subsequently left A

VC investment is characterized by frequent losses with the occasional outsized return. From what I've seen, they have a pretty good record with this frame in mind. How do they compare, peer-vs-peer? It's almost impossible to say s

SNAP is set to be cut in April. It's essential that the program coverage not be cut during what is almost certainly a massively global recession. The most vulnerable will die without this assistance.

Once again, vastly better and more effective policy actions coming out of the House than the Senate or White House. A payroll tax cut isn't going to help service industry workers who lose their jobs due to demand falling off a cliff. R

This is more of a list of "why" you do code reviews rather than how to do them. In my opinion the way to do code reviews is to be didactic. The point is not just to tell people that there are problems, but to explain why they ar

Strongly disagree. At this point the app has made almost no money and legal fees will quickly eclipse the rest of the money that you've spent on the app. Speaking of lawyers, I'm not sure who did your incorporation work but it&#x2

Two quick points of clarification: For a while fibro and empty nose syndrome were considered psychosomatic until physical causes were discovered. I totally agree with you that psychosomatic conditions are not “made up” or “all in your head,
