I'm sure that's what Zynga employees thought too. Sure, accept less than your market rate, but there are lots of trapdoors before the cash ends up in your bank account.

The CEO just had a higher price than most other people. To get $16bn cash from Facebook is hilarious. Next time a start-up says they won't pay you market rate because of x, y, and z just walk away and laugh. For the sake of a few thou

Thanks... How do I decide between CouchDB and CouchBase? What are the major technical differences? Is there a philosophical difference?

CouchDB, CouchBase, TouchDB, PouchDB... How is anyone supposed to figure out who/what to use for the long-term? CouchDB? CouchBase?

Don't forget TOM.COM. His nickname in Hong Kong is "Superman" so everybody trusted him. During the first dot.com he jumped on board the IPO wagon resulting in mom and pop investors getting absolutely fleeced. I think after

It's mostly faux outrage. There are many fields and industries where women outnumber men, yet not a peep from the usual suspects.

One would hope they've located some servers there. Otherwise they're just reselling servers, which makes their claim to "open a new datacenter" even more of a farce!

I'll respectfully disagree. They are implying creation and ownership of an entire facility. They want to market themselves as being bigger and stronger than they actually are. I guess hustling and bending the truth is rule 101 in mar

Do you really need to be rich to do the things that interest you? If not, and you're not in financial hardship, start doing those things you love now. Enjoy your life before responsibilities and old age catch upto you.

Ok, this is nonsense! DigitalOcean did not "open" a data center in Singapore. All they have done is rented some racks / colo space from Equinix in an existing facility. http://www.equinix.com/locations/s

It's sickening to see all these cash rich tech companies being worshipped, yet they don't pay their employees what they're worth, for generating all that value. http://pando.com/2014/01/23/the-t

Marissa Mayer hired a guy, paid him millions, then fired him because he was crap. What makes you think Susan is any different? Right time, right place, right connections, you get the job. We'll never know if somebody else could have

Maybe the moderators will ban this post manually? At some point there will a rather innocuous post which will be blocked, and it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I think it's coming. I think people are sick of the

I use both. I dont think Git 'won' but it is more popular. I suspect many git users dont even know why they use git except because they were told to, they probably never tried hg or know anything about darcs, bitkeeper, etc.
