hatred··on Dear Unicorn, Exit Please
Most companies have a Right of first refusal clause embedded in the options agreement effectively limiting selling shares of private companies even after exercising options.

If they are RSU's , I am assuming they can't be sold at all in the private markets ?

Can anyone with prior experience elablorate on these ?

hatred··on Airbnb Raises $1.5B in One of Largest Private Placements
I would be greatly interested to know what it means for later employees who had RSU's since this effectively might set back the IPO dates by at least a few number of years. How does this effects them ?
hatred··on Futures for C++11 at Facebook
They might look related in terms of various "idioms/building blocks" used but they cater to two completely different programming languages i.e. Objective C/C++.
hatred··on Futures for C++11 at Facebook
thanks for the explanation.
hatred··on Futures for C++11 at Facebook
Can someone explain to me what does it add over http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/thread/synchro... and pros/cons ? Thanks.
hatred··on Open-sourcing Facebook Infer: Identify bugs before you ship
Layman Query : Can anyone kindly explain what are it's pros/cons when compared to already existing tools which have a quite a bit of features already compared to this ?
hatred··on ADP Sues Zenefits for Defamation
>> 10% of capital on hand for the other.

Well , they just raised $ 500m, so looks like just 1% of the new capital raised ( or wasted , whatever way you put it )

Were you referring to this ? : http://www.adp.com/zenefits/downloads/The-Facts-About-ADP-an...
hatred··on C++ Streams
Looks slightly similar to Boost Range Adaptors ?

hatred··on Google will kill Microsoft Silverlight in Chrome by disabling NPAPI plug-in
I think Amazon Instant Video is also on Silverlight ?
hatred··on Google will kill Microsoft Silverlight in Chrome by disabling NPAPI plug-in
I haven't gone reading the article in detail.

What happens to the streaming providers like Netflix etc that use Silverlight ? Would they stop working too ?

hatred··on Serving configuration data at scale with high availability
May be.

I read the article twice but had the exact same reaction on both occasions that somehow we used a "big" bat to kill a small ant when some easier solutions would have sufficed.

Though, it's looks very likely that I might be missing something really minuscule.

hatred··on Show HN: A histogram of salaries given to H1B workers in the software industry
This is pretty interesting especially for cities which have mainly a single software giant to know sort of how much an engineer in that company makes. Like for example Kirkland ( google ). There might be others like Menlo Park (Facebook ? ) too.
hatred··on Hound: A Fast Code Search Tool
I tried using file based URL's (file:///) but it did not work for me. Is it supposed to work with f ile based URL's ?
hatred··on AWS Lambda
I won't be surprised if someone writes a generic lambda library which given a cloud provider generates relevant mappings/code. Will take care of some of the vendor lock-in concerns ?
hatred··on Amazon Fire TV Stick
Any info on HBO Go support ?
hatred··on Why Loggly Chose AWS Route 53 Over Elastic Load Balancing
I am more worried about the DNS caching issue.

The 2+ hosts failing should not be much of a problem if you have a separate health checker host which does nothing except gathering heart-beats from all the hosts in your fleet and updating the DNS periodically.

hatred··on Pants: Build system by Twitter, Foursquare, and Square
I had a query regarding C/C++ support in Pants in the near future. Is that in the road map at all ? What does Twitter use internally for building such applications ?
hatred··on Jetbrains announces code review tool Upsource
Has anyone tried it ? I was interested on how does it matches up to Phabricator ?
hatred··on Amazon Zocalo
It amazes me to find the number of competitors who use AWS as a platform while competing with Amazon.

Certainly tells something about customer service at Amazon.

hatred··on PinLater: An asynchronous job execution system
Precisely, this is the same query I had when I glanced down the post. It will be great if the author or someone from the team respond to the various trade-offs and why they did not go ahead with Kafka ?
hatred··on Amazon sues employee for taking Google cloud job, in new test of non-competes
Ex-AWS employee here. I tend to disagree with the above statement. Though, their retention numbers are pathetic to say the least, but it was an awesome place to work and learn and most of the people who do leave tend to go to the high flying places.
hatred··on Amazon sues employee for taking Google cloud job, in new test of non-competes
Not Really, considering that they have opened offices in the bay area exclusively for AWS openings.
hatred··on Questioning the Lambda Architecture
How different is it from mllib ( https://spark.apache.org/mllib/ )

I understand that mllib is strictly for use as a batch data library.

hatred··on Cloud Platform at Google I/O – new Big Data, Mobile and Monitoring products
+1. It's Kinesis.
hatred··on Standings in 38th Annual World Finals of the ACM International Collegiate
To be frank, competitive programming is a niche field which requires years of practice.

Imagine it like solving problems in mathematics , the better your brain is used to solving similar problems in the past, the faster you will end up solving the relevant task at hand.

hatred··on Amazon Fire Phone
https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/data-plans.html#fbid=GgQnk...

Scroll down to family plans. Now a new line just costs $15 if its a phone not on a contract. Else its $40

hatred··on Box Acquiring Streem (YC S12)
Can Ritik comment on some insights into how StreemFS looks like ? Does it follow a nfs client-server model where the server then makes a request to the Streem servers to get back the data and also managing look ahead buffers etc ?
hatred··on SanDisk to buy Fusion-io to boost flash storage business
Naive Query : The article mentions that it's a 21 percent premium to their present stock price. Can you throw some more light on why do you consider so ?
