A classic bit of satire and HTML form humor that reflected Fry's focus on products and ambiance but not necessarily employee helpfulness: https://web.archive.org/web/20200130175501/http://homepage.s.

Why is it so bad in OH, USA then? Absolute rubbish, they can’t or won’t come close to good. It’s cheap wine that can’t be paired with anything. Objectively , what are the steps they need to take to blindly pass for good?

Good article on what's possible and how to do it, but is row level security scalable in any way for a production application? Not so much on the performance impact of any one query but maintaining the definition of what a role can or c

Funded by SV, vision alignment with SV which is probably more important than where it’s made. However it is certainly impressive that they’re making a lot of progress in a tropical latitude, a feat that hasn’t been replicated by many succes

Unfortunately a lot of mailed chicks die along the way, ignoring other aspects of factory farming, it’s a pretty cruel way to transport animals.

More broadly, Congress has failed to act with respect to campaign finance reform. Twitter's response gives me (some) hope that there could be a grass roots, free market reform of sorts. Fundraising becomes slightly less important if yo

It's fine to want preferred stock, but it's pretty rare for employees to ever receive it (unless they put up cash) -- it's reserved for investors to avoid a sandbagging + abscond with the money raised scenario.

In a tight labor tech market , unnecessary friction in hiring will be detrimental until you build a brand (your company is hockey sticking or the day to day work has wide appeal to devs) or find the “true believers”. In a downturn , go craz

I can't help but remember: past results do not indicate nor guarantee future returns. Unless someone can un-convince me of general macro-economics, not investing in fossil fuel companies will lead to depression of the fossil fuel marke

This like a good parallel story to the Cathedral and the Bazaar: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar The Cathedral takes decades to build and is fragile , while the Bazaar is quick to assemble

I have used it to success, but you have to allow for multiple answers to be given at each level that create their own branches of a tree. Which is effectively what the author illustrates as completely different outcomes. The group should ma

I think another correction to the diminishing value of stock options and longer IPO horizon is that insane hours are less common now, even at the peril of the success of the median startup. It's also a result of the tight tech labor ma
