good luck. the last time her election was close was 1994.

The US went off the gold standard before the great depression.

> When a currency is experiencing deflation it makes sense not to spend it. In that world, keeping my money under my mattress is the soundest investment strategy.

A does not imply B.

If the currency deflates at 1% but you could invest at 2%, your mattress isn't the most sound investment strategy.

read the amendment.

  "1 SEC. 5. PROTECTING THE PASSWORDS OF ONLINE USERS. 
  2 Nothing in this Act or any amendment made by this 
  3 Act shall be construed to limit or restrict the ability of 
  4 the Federal Communications Commission to adopt a rule 
  5 or to amend an existing rule to protect online privacy, in-
  6 cluding requirements in such rule that prohibit licensees 
  7 or regulated entities from mandating that job applicants 
  8 or employees disclose confidential passwords to social net-
  9 working web sites."

sounds like at least one of these was broken.

"ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use."

also "no" is a valid answer to "employer asked for access to their Facebook page".

i'd do the same thing if an employer asked to search my apartment or read my email.

Only use VMs or sandboxes on production-like machines.

Local development doesn't scale.

As far as I can tell MySpace only ever had 100M MAU tops. Comparing that to something 5x that is apples to oranges.

we're always hiring. lots of projects lots of impact. shipping code to a half billion people on your first week.

5% is unrealistic. 1% is.

50 million * .01 * .65 (tax) / 4 years = 81,250

considering opportunity cost and time spent. likely not worth it.

this is similarly ridiculously high.

Sorry to say but "this doesn't work, that's wrong, this is broken etc" is going to be said regardless of when you release and regardless of how many users you have.

The number one rule of software engineering. Your code sucks.

largely modeled on Tony Hsieh's.

Good job, guys.

I'm not convinced the difference is that pronounced.

I had a standing offer from Google that I passed on, because I was busy doing other stuff. When I decided it was to move on I contacted my Google recruiter amongst other connections. Google didn't reinterview me, I was just extended an offer.

This process was slower than the entire interview loop at the company I am currently at.

Excited to be working in close proximity with Sam and Paul again! Congrats guys.

Wow. A company blog that uses the first person plural to describe a political party. Glad I don't work at OkCupid right about now.

Far too many employees at early stage startups have completely unreasonable expectations for how much their options are worth. So even though they're getting shafted, there's a sizable chunk of the population willing to work for scraps on someone else's dream.

I don't quite understand it, but I'm not exactly worried the startup employee pool will shrink anytime soon. But they won't be getting me and a sizable pool of the top talent.

It's less about speed as it is about size. A general framework is just that, general. You're paying in bytes for stuff you don't necessarily use.

great! another way for me to filter out potential employers.

"can you send us your stack overflow account?" "yeah, i'm no longer interested."
