The numbers I've seen on blind are mostly accurate. The issue is that people only report on blind when their comp is at p95 of market. Making $350k is a bit of a trope on blind. You either make $350k, or peanuts.

Almost certainly not. In aggregate - may be, but looking at individual user search history without strong business reason and approval would be a quick way to get fired. Generally, people have very little to be scared of big tech rank and f

> Do FAANGs hire such old ICs? I can only talk about one of the letters in FAANG. Just my observation. We definitely hire 50+ or even 60+ people. In my experience, all of the internal processes are designed to remove individual bias. You

No. I know that my total expense in a given year will never exceed $X (Premium + out-of-pocket max). Worrying about every single transaction is not worth it.

No this is not normal. The important thing you need to decide is whether you want to drag this through the legal process or simply cut your losses and move on. To get a lawyer to pursue this seriously may cost thousands. Either way, I think

To offer a counterpoint - this is a blog post made by Fred Wilson with the exact same title. Fred has the prerogative to title his posts whichever way he likes, and I would not want some random HN poster to add a subtitle to Fred's tit

Historically, anti-trust authorities have been more concerned about horizontal integration, not vertical integration. On top of that, Apple is not even the largest phone maker in the US, owning around 13% market share. For an anti-trust sui
