The article does not support this claim. My reading is that GOOG's HR department kept/keeps the salary curve artificially flat (over-rewarding low performers) to manage pay within a narrow band and thereby prevent…
>$25/hour flat rate? Why? That's not even half the market rate for an average developer. If over half the developers are worthless and you are buying an unknown quantity this seems equitable.
Ex post facto, such as the retroactive changes in CA tax law?
One perspective is that a friend got screwed out of shares. Another view is the real drivers behind the company were smart to not give a dispensable person a third of the company, and are seeking a discount on…
Receiver pays in the US.
The simple answer is that this perceived benevolence is forced upon Facebook anyhow, having a substantial presence in the EU and being subject to data privacy laws there. On the pg side of things I can only assume the…
uninformed prediction: "pg called us to correct their mistake, we got an interview and we're in" by the end of next week, though you might be asked not to talk about it in public. meanwhile, nothing will come of the…
No claim is made under the DMCA, it is merely made to look similarly scary.
That, or we buy a car to commute.
What I dislike about Euro VC is not so much this focus, it is their insistence on risk reduction in the above way coupled with low valuations not properly accounting for said derisking.
This is a javascript based demo which teaches you something. Think about it.
Some of the attackers previously lived as engineering students in Germany.
A key difference: the problems at LHR with the UK Border Agency stem from public employees effectively holding travelers hostage to extort higher pay whereas the the terrible way DHS treats foreigners is so by design.
google the symbol names and you will see the javascript is copypasta.
The fake achievement racket is reason enough for my future children to grow up in Europe.
How do other founders deal with non-committal VC nonsense? I feel like only taking targeted meetings where social capital gets spent on introductions to avoid this takes too much serendipity out of the equation.
10% may seem fair when the company is small but it will cause trouble later. What if the company becomes Facebook? Will future hires be angry that a short-time contributor gets 50x their equity upside? Will investors…
With regards to founder vesting, it is worth pointing out that if the fallout happens before the one-year cliff he gets nothing (if the usual terms apply).
If you are charming like me you can get a SIM card at a T-Mobile store for free (did so last week in SF). Everything is negotiable.
UK taxes are low but that is because public infrastructure and healthcare there are comparatively cheap and shoddy. It is not really a European country in that sense.
My guess: when zero board seats go to investors. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Watching any live TV in the UK, even when avoiding all BBC channels, is subject to this mandatory payment. Hence it is, by any reasonable definition, a tax.
The emotional drain came as a bit of a surprise to me, and I am not even invested much in this forum or the idea of making a career via YC. I too have built and exited startups previously (without the warm embrace of an…
The Roman numeral M (mille) means 1000. M^2 therefore equals one million.
University in continental Europe is very much like what you describe, though a shift in public attitude towards higher education as a means of job qualification is (sadly) changing this.
