Or set up a rotation with a few other coworkers so that _someone_ can always take a sales call and pass it off to them if it’s during your off/focus day and vice versa for theirs.

I don’t think you need 51% to affect things at the margins. At one company, we were early to the “remote is OK” and “remote is good” camps. It helped a lot with recruiting and retention, and let us hire a better talent pool. Post-COVID with everyone offering remote the benefit has dwindled for companies early to accept remote work. I think someone offering 4 day work weeks would be able to hire talent they wouldn’t normally be able to. If the promise of “same productivity, less hours, same pay” is true, then they’ll outperform and out recruit.

Mass strikes are certainly quicker though.

This is pretty cool! Do you have ways for elegantly handling grandfathering old customer plans, scheduled rollouts of new pricing, etc? I think more than testing/changing the value of the $tier_2_price variable is how you communicate and/or apply it to existing customers.

… what do you call it in casual adult conversation?

Figure 2[2] from the article is pretty good.

Additionally, the 10% will probably only last for a year or two, at which point it'll be earning 1-3% and we'll have all jumped through these hoops for $100-300/year.

It’s also possible to… “move” to California for long enough that a “Cancel” button magically appears in your account setting a page. This was true for WSJ who otherwise wanted a phone call with hold times.

Vercel is also only free "For personal or non-commercial projects." Otherwise starting at $20/mo/user no matter how few builds, requests, or bandwidth.

Tax reasons means evading taxes by not reporting cash transactions.

I think that's exactly how the conversation would go, followed by no refund and $0 in credits actually getting delivered.

FYI when AWS had their little oopsie with the EC2 management APIs not too long ago, I couldn’t connect to an instance via Systems Manager. I also couldn’t adjust my security groups to enable SSH. I also couldn’t shut down the instance. AWS refused to provide any credits as their SLA only covers when the instances are not publicly accessible.

For example with USD, this also requires not just transacting in USD once a year, but hedging in the national currency, as many crypto earners and traders are learning. If you get paid 1 BTC when BTC is worth $50k, you really should sell and hold 15-50% of it immediately to cover your tax obligation. If the price drops to $20k, you can sell and book a $30k loss, but you may only be able to deduct $3k of it against your $50k in income, leaving you in a bad spot come April 15.

I think that would be really difficult to keep clean.

Yes, but you get the benefit of .7x exercising with the cost of never exercising.

Exercise, no successful IPO: lose $x exercise cost

Exercise, successful IPO: lose $x exercise cost, gain $y share sale benefit

No exercise, no successful IPO: gain/lose nothing

No exercise, successful IPO: gain/lose nothing

Service exercise, no successful IPO: lose nothing, maybe gain some AMT credits or capital loss carryovers

Service exercise, successful IPO: lose $x exercise cost plus interest, gain 0.7*$y share sale benefit

Your best best case is exercising yourself and getting the IPO, but you have to weigh that against the likelihood of it occurring and your personal risk tolerance for the $x cost to exercise.

I would never buy a lottery ticket, but I will always accept even .01% of a free lottery ticket.

It’s not options * strike price, it’s options * (fair market value - strike price), which is usually 0 at issue and is $$$ if you exercise and sell after an IPO (or after subsequent funding rounds/revenue growth which bumps up FMV).

It works out in the event that the shares end up worthless.

The first $50,000 of group term life insurance is not taxable, so the tax penalty here should be reduced by about 10% [1].

Second, either Google is getting shafted on their premiums (they may be) and over paying by more than 44% ($200/$450 from the article), or on average this is a net benefit to employees over the possibility of opting out. Consider employees with health problems that could never get term insurance on their own. The real story might just be that Google should find a better priced term life provider.

If you turn off notifications they will use text messages to contact you. I’ve never gotten a spam text message from them, which makes some sense as they’re more regulated than push notifications.

Yeah, and they can be stupid expensive for small side projects with a handful of contributors. If you want a Netlify site with a background function that serves 10 visitors a day with 3 people occasionally logging in or pushing code, you pay $57/mo to execute $0.0001 worth of Lambda functions. Maybe it's worth it if things take off, but before then you're paying a lot for very little. So, you host on a DigitalOcean droplet or directly on AWS, and bear a migration cost if you were to choose Netlify as soon as things start growing.

What are people doing with entity resolution/record linkage? At Doximity we use it to match messy physician, hospital, and medical publication data from various sources into more coherent data sets to power profiles and research tools. Mostly with https://dedupe.io/ but with some custom tooling to handle larger (1m+ entities) datasets.

Thinking about this, I think you would end up with something like O(s^2*b) where s is the size of your biggest block (e.g. all the "Smith"s or company names containing "Inc." if that doesn't get removed), and b is the number of blocks. This would be at least n, so O(kn) with a big k makes some sense. If you have some way to get away with not comparing every element in a block to every other element, e.g. exact string match only I think you could get away with O(s*log(s)*b), but most of the time the matches are not going to be good enough.

Coinbase did make an SEC filing copy of the blog post: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001679788/000110465...

> On May 16, 2022, Coinbase Global, Inc. (“Coinbase” or the “Company”) issued a blog post (the “Blog Post”) relating to its hiring plans. In connection with the Blog Post, Coinbase affirmed its expense outlook for the second quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 that the Company provided on May 10, 2022 in a letter to its shareholders announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. A copy of the Blog Post is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

> Coinbase announces material information to its investors using filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company’s website at www.coinbase.com and blog.coinbase.com, as well as press releases, public conference calls, public webcasts, its Twitter feed (@coinbase), its Facebook page, its LinkedIn page, its YouTube channel, and Brian Armstrong’s Twitter feed (@brian_armstrong). Therefore, Coinbase encourages investors, the media and others interested in the Company to review the information it makes public in these locations, as such information could be deemed to be material information.

> The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

So whether or not they were required to communicate the slowdown, they did at least consider the post to be material information that needed to be communicated with investors.

Is there anywhere with the LD50s (or lowest lethal dose) for dogs and different compounds? My dog eats anything she can get her paws on, and sometimes I'll search things to find "NO DO NOT GIVE DOG <x>" but if you research a little more you find "If dogs eat 500 of <x> they will get an upset stomach."

I’ve seen more places use it. Sometimes called “magic sign in” or “magic links.”

As a user, I don’t prefer it, but I’m also very comfortable using password manager.

We implemented it at Doximity but I’m not sure how it changed sign in experience/metrics. It’s gated behind the “forgot password” link now rather than the default/only option. https://auth.doximity.com/magic_sign_in

Doing some reading, it looks like configuring RUA will send an aggregate like you mention, while configuring RUF (F for forensic) will give more granular details.

You could use a separate wallet for your ENS name.

That’s correct. It’s pretty infrequent that I assume I know better than the market is pricing.
