If your budget allows for it, I'd recommend getting a Unifi Security Gateway (USG) along with a Unifi AP AC Pro or AP AC Lite depending on your Wifi needs. My experience with these Ubiquiti Networks devices has been great so far. The A

Musk is just a human like everyone else after all. You know like having emotions, making mistakes and stuff. How would you act if you'd come that far and then find yourself threatened by a horde of wild short-sellers and then the SEC?

If in doubt, consider trusting and using your gut feeling. In teams full of technical people, I have repeatedly made the experience that this skill — using your intuition – has either been unlearned, suppressed, or is actively or passively

I did not advice anyone to stay at a company for two years. And I wouldn't advice anything that drastical based on a short HN text and some vague interpretation of what op is up for. IF someone is unchallenged as you imply I'd say

I think I disagree about the red flag part. Why should you not be allowed to like it and feel valued while not being a stakeholder. How do you know that there is no way for him to become a stakeholder at some point in the future? Ever heard

While I agree to most of what you said, the attitude of paying based on what someone needs doesn't seem to be a fair basis for negotiation to me. The case you mentioned is surely an extreme that deserves an exception to be made and I h
