I have personally seen this happen (ex-Amazon managers coming in and turning the place toxic) at 2 separate companies now
It's basically impossible to prevent people from using VPNs without some serious governmental control over every telco - which of course may be the case in the UK, but I don't think a site operator can be held liable…
The crucial word in the headline is "recorded". I doubt that record-keeping in the 1800s was as comprehensive as it is today. Additionally, from the article: > the CDC started monitoring TB in the US in the 1950s.
And HN famously took this approach from Reddit, who do the same thing.
Most of these features were available in Scala and Clojure 5-10 years ago - even though OpenJDK claims that they took these features from ML, I'm glad they are catching up to others in the JVM ecosystem.
Not just time cost, but also monetary cost. At least in tech, most jobs exist in a small set of metro areas where housing prices are incredibly high. Pushing for more remote work enables more flexibility in where people…
I'm a Pulley customer for our startup - it's great, relatively straightforward and no hassle. Also much cheaper than Carta with less overhead
Thanks to an increasing supply of jobs in India, salaries have been rising at the top end of the market. In another 5-10 years, it won't be much cheaper to hire in India as compared to the US.
It's likely that they just chose Kotlin as "better Java" - many companies do this and I can understand why.
And this is precisely why the law is so toothless in WA. It was intended to kill non-competes for low-wage workers (McDonald's workers, etc), not for tech workers. That's still a good thing overall, but techies don't…
It's because WA allows for non-compete agreements for employees above a certain income level, whereas CA bans non-competes outright. So it's much more difficult to get top/high-ranking people to leave MS/AMZN since they…
Most of the more modern Javascript SSR frameworks support hybrid in some capacity (Remix, Next, Svelte). I can't speak for Angular as I've never used it.
I think the license change is a pretty bad reason to feel smug - unless you are building a competitor to or platform on top of Terraform. Spacelift is stuck in a weird place because of this, but most users won't be.
Usually the investors - the funding amount means that the founders and early employees can get paid a living wage at least (as a former VC-backed founder I can say that they probably don't get paid exorbitantly). But…
The rumored valuation was around $200M, and the product is pre-revenue right now. So that seems pretty ridiculous.
Also Obsidian is a small team (< 5 people IIRC?) and they don't have to monetize as aggressively to make back the money that VCs have funded them with.
No chance. If the Twitter/Mastodon debacle taught us anything it's that federated networks have a long way to go before they can achieve anything close to mass adoption.
The irony is that Reddit already has this feature, but that goes to show how poorly they market it. They also sell NFT avatars (though cleverly, not describing them as NFTs in the UI)
You do see it in some places around Midtown/Times Square - just not as frequent as in SF, and that area has been crappy for a long time. I love living in NYC but we could become like SF if we're not careful.
I agree that overall population metrics tell a story of both cities' decline, but in the context of startups it's important to understand who is moving in/out. Tech workers who are upper middle class are typically…
Or Rust, which is very popular on HN.
Reddit has way more than 700 now. I worked there until 2019 and they had ~600 when I left. That being said though, I would guess the employee count is still around ~2000 or less.
Unfortunately, in a highly regulated environment like finance or healthcare this is the norm for opsec reasons. Can't have disgruntled laid-off employees taking revenge actions against the company or customers.
They did raise funding. It's unclear to me what their business model would have been (compete with Vercel?), and maybe the struggle to find one was why they decided to go for an acquisition.
Acquihire - you're not looking to buy the framework itself, you're looking to get the people who built it to work for you instead.
