One thing I'm curious when I hear about entrepreneurs that started late is what they did leading up to it. That's a key difference in 21 year olds and 35-year olds. Are the 35-year olds doing something in common leading up to it that makes them more likely to be successful?

Absolutely. After having been here 17 years and still without a green card, having to be at the mercy of my employer, I'll most likely be going back taking my $1.5M in savings with me. You can replace me with one of your mass shooters.

Yes I do. I know someone that got this offer and recently joined. I helped them negotiate and pick offers. This was a staff engineer but the person had only 6 years of experience.

Total comp for a middle engineer at Uber is $450k.

Uber's cash-based compensation hasn't been that high, has it? A friend of mine who was making $150k base at a public company was offered $115k and purported stock of $500k. He needed the cash so he didn't take that offer. This was back in 2016. Things might have changed since then.

The other way to look at it is that potentially $3.9B worth of stock could be sold on the public market and further dilute the value of the stock.

Not to replace courts but to understand legal agreements better. If you could express it as an algorithm, perhaps, you could rewrite in simpler english or answer questions about it?

Slack's operating loss send easier to recover from. Uber will have to cut costs massively to come closer to profitability. The drop in stock is before the lock in period had expired. Expect it to drop further after October when all the employees dump their stock.

Can legal agreements be expressed as an algorithm?

This post is equivalent to that famous comment on Dropbox about running a fileserver yourself. It's a waste of time and I can't believe it's being upvoted on HN.

Thanks. I already have a manager and a wife.

Isn't the speed bottlenecked by the storage speed. Is the data fully loaded into memory first?

Can you conceal these cannons when you walk into a mall before shooting others?

Maybe we should consider one for arguments to avoid arguments like yours

The right wing people seem to be ok with a dictatorship if it gets them what they want. Left wingers are less likely to open guns so this point is moot. Also what chance do these guns have against the army's artillery.

I lived in upstate NY and had no idea about this rule, and I visited NYC often.

Where did they say that they lived in NYC? Only that they got caught there.

Math is a subject that you don't understand why you need it till you see real-world applications for it, especially higher-level math. Rather than teaching math in a way where you solve equations, students need to be taught to 'think' mathematically, similar to mental models. In fact, a good number of mental models have a strong grounding in mathematics. Seeing the world as a set of mathematical problems gives you a leg up on a number of things.

Engineering will be next. Expect this from more companies in the valley as the reality of being a public company looms on the newly public companies.
