Sad to hear. At one point I realized (due to his name) that three non-fiction books I read in a row all referenced his studies, despite spanning entirely different subjects. Clearly an influence on many authors and researchers.

For the folks incredulous at this number, senior staff level (IC7) and higher at top tier tech companies can get there, especially with stock appreciation. Stock/RSUs would comprise the majority of the compensation.

Totally blatant. My sarcasm didn't come across, I suppose.

This is a fantastic article and I have shared it with many, many engineers in the past. It's one of those totally counterintuitive things about career growth. It's all about accumulating scope as one grows into a senior-level role

Check out fractional reserve banking - banks do indeed add to the overall money supply with every new loan.

Same here. After religiously following Slashdot since '99 or so, I eventually realized that the links on the Slashdot front page appeared on HN days prior. It was not long before HN became my daily go-to. Just occurred to me that it&#x

It's not that the media thinks Facebook is weak, but rather they're actively working on weakening it. FB was traditional media's darling until they realized they're losing advertisers and subscribers to social media, at

And into the rabbit hole of gun kata scenes I go. Equilibrium is such an underappreciated movie.

On top of the high price, you don't get the Oculus Store either. I think you can theoretically sideload the consumer apps, but it won't be a straightforward process from what I understand.

+1 to everything simplyaccont said. Long term projects were a tough beast to manage given the short-term incentives. Usually those got done by breaking them up into milestones and hitting those. That said, my general impression (as a first-

My sole experience in Big Tech consists of Facebook and the post more or less matches what I saw there. It seems to me, though, that the author views "no process" from a very positive lens, with no discussion of negatives. Like ho

Curious if any P2P networks existed before Hotline. I recall using it briefly before Napster burst onto the scene, and always considered it to be the pioneer.

That's a hell of a stretch there. Anything in the tax code can be a loophole if viewed from the right angle. I don't see anything unethical in taking advantage of a LAW that trades early risk-taking for some later tax break, for t

This is just three years before Jennifer Ringley created the concept of a "camgirl" with JenniCam. The information superhighway, as it were, really was the wild, wild West in those days.

The ethics I'm disputing are those of not grandfathering in those folks that have made financial decisions based on existing tax law. I would have made very different calls (quite likely more beneficial to my situation) had I not been

It has nothing to do with "deserving" it. Tax breaks exist, generally, to create specific incentives. In this case, the incentive is to promote small businesses by parking cash with them at an early stage, despite the added risk.

Whom do you lump under "owners of businesses"? Because early employees are impacted as well, seeing how they own company stock. And there are a lot more of those, than just the founders.

I'm an example of a not-even-particularly-early employee that joined a startup at Series A, exercised the majority of my options almost five years ago, and have been holding on to the now-public shares with the intent of taking advanta

The article is generally reasonable, but it makes the common mistake of conflating leadership and management. This is specifically about directly managing a team. One can lead large groups of people (armies, departments) and huge projects s

The originals are, by the way, available on eBay. I got a couple (Nu Pogodi and Avtoslalom) for nostalgia's sake. Work with modern batteries too.

When I went through this about 3 years ago, the approach for System Design was to read the Data Intensive Application Development book, go through the Grokking System Design course, read all the summary materials I could find, watch a bunch

It is funny. I keep all manuals around, just in case, on rare occasions throwing away the ones for products that I no longer have. Yet not once have I actually gone back to a physical manual, finding it easier to grab one online (as I did i
