100k feet in altitude may not be quite high enough to get that 'in space' feel. I think you can see the curvature of the earth and the sky above you is dark / blackish.

This is exactly my experience. Very happy with my Bolt as well.

I also wouldn’t buy another car without CarPlay

I'm not sure it would have much of an adverse impact. Driving the car is constantly charging / discharging it (regen braking).

I think it's more about how deep the cycles go -- just don't let the grid drain below like 30-40% battery and it likely would have no meaningful impact long term.

I have no Adblock on my phone and it’s unbelievable how many ads some sites put up.

Many times I have to hunt for the second half of the article past five or six full image ads and sponsored content.

This feels like a death spiral - the more Adblock the more ads they’ll put up to get seen by a smaller segment of users.

I don’t think this post is trying to use correlation to prove causation. It’s in effect saying that when you can’t be sure that there is a causal relationship between two things that you can still make some decisions.

Perfect is the enemy of good as they say.

It's not $42M in options. It's 42M options, possibly valued at $110 each at the IPO. Hence $4B

That's actually not quite how it works: "The options awarded had a per-share exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Class B common stock on the applicable grant date"

Common stock is usually way less expensive than preferred, so while currently the company may be 'valued' at $110 per share, the common stock is probably in the $30s or $40s.

He's likely already up $2B on the stock options (pending vesting), assuming the company does IPO at $47B and all common stock converts at the $110 valuation.

Personally I think this is unheard of -- anyone else know of examples of CEO compensation like this prior to an IPO?

Based on the filing the company awarded 42M stock options to the CEO earlier this year. The filing mentions a share price of $110 per share, so that's over $4B.

That can't be normal, right? That's 10% of the entire company. It's more than Elon Musk got for Tesla by a long shot, and that was already controversial.

It's fulfilling to do that, but all successful startups go through a phase where they become more professional and hire a lot of experienced leaders. The culture the 'old' team worked to create very quickly gets diluted and replaced. Not necessarily for worse, or for bad reasons, but it's a reality that a lot of early employees find challenging.

How is the paper getting its data? Maybe I didn't read carefully enough, but don't they need to know the liquidation preferences of the rounds?

What do people think of services like https://www.loginprompt.com/? (provides logins as a service for your startup)

Isn't this sort of security something we wish we didn't have to learn? And for people who don't take the time maybe it's best to let a third-party handle it.

Looking for feedback on this idea: we provide login as a service with one line of javascript. We support twitter, fb, email, google, etc.

Sorry, my point was that they picked a benchmark that was too easy. I suspect if the machine was straining to hit 60fps their results could be vastly different. That's how most games run, so that'd be more interesting to see.

I'm slightly skeptical of their benchmarks -- the fact they're using 300fps numbers is a red flag. No one runs games at that speed. What's the comparison for a game running at 30 - 60fps? My hunch is that D3D has a tiny fixed per-frame cost that becomes irrelevant when frames take 10x longer to render.
