I use Site44. It's hosting synced to your Dropbox folder. Just edit your index.html locally and it's pushed when your Dropbox syncs.

Facebook vests quarterly - there actually isn't a one year cliff. In the last picture, salary + signing bonus + (4 * Quarterly RSU) + expected year end bonus gives you the total pay for the first year.

It's not traditional actually. We vest quarterly, and I've sold my stock as soon as I've received it (two vest days so far). My third vesting is November 15th. The last picture gives you my estimated total comp for the year,

I just checked Wealthfront and it says my rate is 44%. I'm working on increasing it to ~60%.

No problem! I appreciate your support. I've sold my stock as soon as it's vested. I'm already overexposed to Facebook.

That's a good point - I added a small conclusion which possibly helps.

No moral lesson here - I suppose my point is that you rarely get to have such a clear-cut comparison of what would've happened if you took the other path at the fork in the road. I can see where it comes off as gloating, though. Do you

When I chose Facebook, I believed that Uber was a better offer. A $100B+ valuation for them seemed plausible to me. I thought I was going to be making $35-55k less. So, I actually was not a genius here. It was total luck. People rarely exam

I chose Facebook over Uber on 1/18/2019, which grossed me $92k.(huntermonk.com)

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. This is correct. I've never worked somewhere where challenging leadership is so encouraged.

Thanks, this is helpful. Why do we care if every integer not equal to 4 or 5 modulo 9 is the sum of three cubes? Just for fun?

I grew up next to Dallas and just moved from Austin a few months ago. Both cities value relaxation quite a bit. Naturally, there are motivated people and pockets (that will probably comment on this), but those are exceptions. That's wh

I feel the same way. In Sam Altman's most recent interview he talked about hours of use per day being an important metric for a new product. It seems like the first high-use product in this category will be a lightweight regular lookin

I agree. Mobile is already maturing. By the time web technology is good enough to create a native-feeling experience, we will be on to the next runtime. (Disclaimer: I do iOS consulting, so hugely biased)

Ah ok - that's what I heard through Capital Factory. However, I can't imagine it would be more than 2 (you said a couple) orders of magnitude off. Do you know approximately what the amount was?

I see what Joseph is saying about that macro trend. In Austin, RideScout (Kayak.com for transportation options) just sold for ~$100m to Daimler AG with only tens of thousands of user. The importance to Daimler was seeing all the driving and
