This is exactly what happened here. Keith Teare had 75% equity in Edgeio. So he was majority shareholder - similar power that managers have. He basically said he wanted to start N number of startups under the umbrella of Archimedes Labs. Th

This gets played out in all companies every day: You do something interesting in your spare time, your manager jumps on it out of nowhere to take credit and soon enough he is the visionary leader while you get transformed in to dude doing e

PowerShell is fundamentally flawed system. The object oriented language does not belong to shell. It’s simply too verbose and awkward for repeated fast interactive use. When tons of commands starts with get-*, that’s 4 extra keystrokes befo

Syntax is supposed to be composible and intuitive. One shouldn’t have to keep looking docs to find out how to do X. PowerShell has pretty bad, unimaginative and non-intuitive syntax. I was actually chosen many times to keep scripting in old

I'm wondering if rackless Ruth, Google's bean-counter-in-chief, is behind all these. At Bing, bean counters often had calculated that if you cut down index to half (after certain size), you reduce half of the cost but don't l

Have you looked at Alphabet or other big company board? One thing you will notice is that lot of board members are actually from giant investment funds (3 in case of Google, much worse for companies like Microsoft). Regardless of who owns v

No it isn't because there are other dozens of such outlets there. I can't buy dozens of subscriptions for everyone doing good reporting. Either they have to come up with some subscription bundle that covers large number of outlets

To me it looks like US Congress is dirt cheap. Just few thousand dollars to pass laws that would have massive impact! Top countries spend billions on military and trying to revive their economies. With a tiny fraction of that budget you can

WaPo had been doing great reporting these days. I just don't know how much money they lose in ad revenue by being behind paywall. Any summery of the article?

Yeah, and the first thing Jonny Ivy would do is make car more thinner and beautiful while completely screwing up battery life and usability. No thanks. If it was in my hand I will take iPhone out of Apple (or wherever Ivy is employed) and

Key here is long term. If you are investing for long term and choose hedge fund then you are a sucker. Smart investors choose hedge fund only for short term investments and only because they know the fund is trying to exploit some informati
