California represents ~15% of GDP and 11% of the agricultural output including 33% of vegetables and 75% of fruits and nuts. Just saying.

I also despise the appeal to some false authority. The entire premise for the argument seems to be, "well, I was a nurse and had to go in even when I was at risk, so they should do the same". The fact that she was a nurse or felt

I have been using Feedly since Google Reader was shut down. Use it across iPhone, iPad and web. I also use it to capture other articles and bookmarks on my boards. I have subscribed to Pro for awhile but mostly for search and a few other th

On all sites/apps I’ve built offering SSO, we’ve gone out of our way to support linking of accounts and detecting existing accounts when claims like emails are found. Also allowing for merges after the fact. I would consider this a bes

Came to say this. Of course, having NFLX RSUs over the last 10 yrs would be worth more than the salary increase, just saying.

... except the choice is not a dollar now vs. a dollar of stock in 4 years. RSUs are calculated as part of your total annual compensation the same was as salary. A grant of $100k RSUs that vest over 4 yrs would be more the equivalent of $25

RSUs are more akin to salary (i.e., your RSU grant / vesting period = annual salary increase) than a bonus where you get the cash upfront. So yeah, if the choice was $100k signing bonus or $100k RSU, the analysis is different - but tha

Every single employment offer I've sent or received that included equity stated so in the offer letter, expressed either as a % or an absolute number of shares.

I tried it on a couple of sites I have with ~1k users using pretty heavily. I made $1.50 USD over a couple of months, and most complained that it was being blocked/giving security warnings when visiting the site. Not that I am making m

It's also misleading and intellectually dishonest to discuss the amount of income tax paid in the context of rate while ignoring the underlying income. E.g., "The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3

I am not making light of the situation AT ALL - but it's sort of weirdly ironic that the link goes to a 404 page in their "Social Responsibility" section.

This makes me happy, and hopefully it's just available as a base part of Visual Studio / part of all MSDN subscriptions. I loved Xamarin in principle before, but the price tag was steep. I inherited a Xamarin app on one project -

As a former Hamachi user and LastPass user/advocate, I had the exact same reaction when I saw this.

From my perspective, I think limiting QPM is better than limiting the number of documents that you can index. In my current case, I have millions of "documents" (in a Lucene sense of documents) but relatively low usage. Obviously,

My main problem with this is that a standard instance is $125/mo for anything beyond the free limits (10k documents, 50mB). It would be great to see pricing that followed, say, Azure Websites or SQL pricing... $20-40/mo for smalle

This is a truly bizarre post. I especially don't understand how they create myths that at least most people wouldn't think. Like do people really think Square is not PCI compliant? Maybe they're just trying to do some SEO mag

This doesn't surprise me at all. My account was banned for "invalid activity" in the timeframe mentioned. The automated emails said they wouldn't even tell me what I supposedly did wrong. I tried appealing and only got a

I was really hoping the "developers" portion would announce a Xamarin acquisition. Maybe at BUILD, but curiously as this talk was going on I got an email from Xamarin telling me to visit them at BUILD.

I think the shift towards cloud services is key here - just like today's OneNote announcement. But more than extending their tooling to competitor's platforms, I think this is a sneaky way to actually make their platform more viab

Curation of video is a fine idea, but I wanted to comment on the actual messaging of the site so far. Something the tone of the copy bothers me. "Let's meet Joe. Joe is an everyday internet user". "Joe is confused!"

CloudFlare also caused huge performance issues on a side project which I didn't notice until recently. I was consistently getting 1.2s+ responses on a couple of pages, and 600ms on a completely static page. So, not only did CloudFlare

SOPA Was the biggest misstep for me, and was the breaking point for me to migrate all my domains elsewhere. I ended up at Namecheap because I liked the way they addressed the situation.

The key to any defamation claim is that it is a false statement. Truth is an affirmative defense.
