Re:Amazon RSUs – What's the Future?

Amazon stockholder here too - 31% decline from peak, been holding for 7 years, last two years flat. I think you're confused.
Amazon RSUs – What's the Future?
I killed off my Amazon interview process, pre-base salary bump, on a hunch that the RSUs were going to go to shit. Now that they have, and now that they've raised the base salary, I'm thinking of getting back in. What's the sentiment here?

Wow, everyone in the comments section is a fucking expert - no matter which side of the issue they're on! What a lucky person I am to have stumbled upon such a large group of experts! Jesus fucking christ.
Forum culture can be regressive
I feel like forum culture is to blame for creating the scenario where a definite answer = intelligence (news.ycomb is very much a place where this happens).Which has created a scenario where people think science contains truths as opposed to approximations and best guesses.It's kinda sad because it bleeds into everything now - it's no longer acceptable for someone to be like "well let's think...
What I really need is a .DS_Store in every directory on my Mac

Sqlite3 blows. Worked it for years. It has caching and flash burn issues and also is just the worst “language” when it comes to schema updates and general use.

I want to avoid joins at all costs. I’ve encountered far too many of them for purposes of “it would be fun to use a join,”. Basic requirements are storage of ints and strings, and mutex. Doesn’t need to be lighting fast, or have complex caching.

Yeah mostly Nvidia Jetson parts, so that'd prob work. Mongo seems to be a massive fav - I should dig in.
What do people think of CockroachDB?
Thanks.

so what's a good alternative for low footprint embedded these days? i'd rather use json files and jq than sql tbh.

Yep. Point taken - pun intended. This forum has fallen into the garbage bin a long time ago. Just sort of wondering if it's a requirement of all pop tech forums to go down this way.

A principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.
Forums like this tend to produce "Accepted" solutions that are argued blindly for. I certainly mean dogma.

You could substitute the dollar amount and item with any number of things. This article is uninteresting and has been tried thousands of times on crypto and various stocks.
Yawn.
Is dogma on tech forums inevitable?
Popular forums succumb to dogma, as seems to be a growing issue on this forum. Is dogma the inevitable end of a tech forum's creativity, or can there be a turn around?
What do you all think of MongoDB now that they're a hypergrowth stock?

I hope so. Numbskulls love blaming Obama for all kinds of ridiculous shit, but I was legitimately crushed when he killed off funding for hydrogen cars. Such an awesome technology for creating lightweight electric propulsion.

This happens often. When I was there in 2011 or so, there was a massive one found on the Rhine because the water was low. It was something like 2 or 3 thousand pounds. It's amazing how much of this stuff will be sitting around for hundreds or thousands of years even.
