I'm not an expert on this, but when you exercise stock options you have to pay taxes on the fair market value at that time. In some cases it might make sense to exercise stock options before you can actually sell them (e.g. if you expe

It just seems like a national pastime to post as little information about yourself or anything you're associated with anywhere online at all. As an expat that it makes it hard to stay in contact with many people. It's everybody&#x

I find the whole premise of this article a bit weird. It starts with "Good news". Why is it automatically good news that educated people use social media less? I'm a German living in the United States and find this part of Ge

I thought that was just based on URLs. Similarly when I open a yelp.com link in my mobile browser it asks me whether to open it using the Yelp app or the browser.

On the one hand I agree but on the other hand I think group work is an important skill to learn. This will be almost always necessary in a work environment. I think a good compromise is to require each team member to be responsible for an i

The fact that you see it as self-entitlement when someone wants to come back to their job after a pregnancy and cancer treatment shows how wrong the current attitude in the US towards a healthy work / life balance is.

I wouldn't call it a delusion. Investors were valuing Twitter at close to $40 Billion because they were expecting Facebook-like growth. Now that they don't see that growth they currently value it at around $20 Billion. Based on si

I think the main benefit is that they could easily do night-time delivery with this. Usually people have their cars parked at home during the night and they don't have to wake you when they just leave the package in your trunk.

That's a good point, but it also depends on disposable income. If after rent (or mortgage), food and other basic necessities you have $1000 left per month then it doesn't make a difference whether you earn $100,000 in SF or $60,00

They positioned themselves very well in certain critical areas and I doubt that they will be easily replaced by competitors. For example in the ebook reader space most competitors already went our of business and Amazon is now close to bein

I think you're very wrong here. In-house recruiters also use Linkedin, I don't know why that would put anybody in the "high risk hire" category. I got my recent job through a recruiter contact on Linkedin and I'm pr

Sure it can get complicated, but there are also some safe ways to fork. Imagine you fork at the very beginning of your program before starting any threads. No danger in that. So the language could at least allow it (but provide the proper w

The salary in this example is per year, the rent is per month. So actually a 10% rent increase is $1200 per year and a 1% salary increase is $1000 per year for a net loss of $200.

I definitely would not say that most people agree to this. Otherwise it would be very surprising to see Google, Facebook, Apple, Samsung and many others growing their presence in Silicon Valley.

Maybe, but I doubt people buy a $500 watch just because it will still be nice in 100 years. That might be the case for $10000 watches.

I actually liked sites like eHow, but I'm probably in the minority here. If I wanted a quick answer for a question these sites were providing a good, quick answer. They are not going into a lot of depth, of course, but if I want that t

I don't understand this part: "91 percent of all reviewers gave it one star. The next lowest-rated movie on IMDb — 1.8 stars overall — has a more even distribution of ratings, with only 71 percent of reviewers giving it one star.

I'm not sure if it's actually a lane reduction, they might have also just added 1 lane to the previously existing 2 lanes. The big benefit I see is that you're never entering the opposing traffic lane, so head-on collisions a

If you move on to the next problem, then your test finishes and forces you to move back to the original problem then you just had to do 2 context switches. If you never had to wait for the test result then you could have eliminated those.

In general spammers deal with those things pretty quickly. They can just quickly add a regex to remove everything starting with the "+" and then you don't have any unique identifier any more.
