Typically it's said for companies that experienced massive growth in valuation. For example, if you got $400k in NVDA 4 years ago it would be worth $4M today. In order for your compensation to stay the same, you'd need to get a $1

For those curious about the illegal move, it seems like it's allowing queen side castling through the king side rook (or vice versa). eg. if this is the first rank, R _ _ R K _ _ _, then you could make the move O-O-O and end up with _

It actually sounded like she was running it at a loss. Or rather that if there was any profit, it was because she was taking pretty much no salary out of the company. I really hope it succeeds but I think this is one case where someone with

They're also paying $5M per year to maintain the servers and software. In theory they don't have to think about it but that just highlights the waste even more. I wish I could spend $5M without thinking.

With the increasing adoption of AI into people's workflows I think this is something that's really important to be thinking about. AI is a paradigm shifting technology whether you like it or not.

Looks like a way to take some market share from iMessage. I don't think this is going to change much for international markets where a lot of people already use Whatsapp but it might change things in the US.

If we remove all the double negatives it becomes "Judge keep FTC enforcing non-compete agreements" or "Judge stops FTC from enforcing compete agreements" neither of which make sense. The FTC doesn't enforce non-comp

I feel like if I were a billionaire or even a multi millionaire, I'd have better things to spend my time doing than worrying about taxes.

This might be unpopular but I think there are ways that taxing unrealized capital gains could work without being super radical. 1. Allow unrealized losses to be deducted. 2. Once a certain percentage of the gain is taxed, step up the cost b

The hard part of disconnecting as a manager is feeling like the team is blocked on you when you're not there. If you're a good manager then you enable the team to function without you. It's just tough to get that level of con

Well it's a good thing that author doesn't get to decide what the benefits are in that case. I'd argue this "regulation" is really a deregulation - ie, removing restrictions for Apple developers - which will lead to

A piece of advice I've taken to heart is whenever I'm sending something in writing, to think about how I would feel if I needed to repeat the same things in court or if I found those messages in the news. Not that I've ever s

It has a lot of parallels with Lego and not just the fact that they're both a bunch of boxes that you can attach together. I think the fundamental mechanics of Minecraft lends itself to a type of creativity that other games find it har

I think the most surprising thing about trends in modern executive class pay is just how steep it is compared to the median employee. It makes me wonder why shareholders outside the company are happy with it. For example, the Boeing CEO mad
