Yes – United used to be owned by Boeing. The Air Mail Act banned common ownership of manufacturers & airlines.

I totally agree with the request for a lightweight DB out of box..
There is https://easydb.io which is nice and works OK with Retool but is NoSQL.. an equivalent for a relational DB would be great.

Hi – yeah, it's a very early beta, but it's fully functional, and you should be able to use it on your site.
If you'd like, I'm happy to set some time to help you get it set up and test. My email is [email protected].

Hi HN, we love the Superhuman mail client and in particular think that their command+k feature is really helpful to new and power users alike.
So we built Actionbar to let any website add that feature in 3 lines of code :)

My guess is they forced password resets on those users whose passwords were compromised.

The 20 days bit is standard in termination for cause. You need to give the employee a chance to cure the damages before you terminate them for cause.

Uninformed speculation: maybe because the places where it's windy are not necessarily the places where it's sunny (and vice versa).

I'm so confused by the endgame. Why did white move its queen to F4? How did the last sequence of moves end in a stalemate?

He's saying that while it may be more difficult to change strategic direction of a $50B company (Ford/Gm/etc.), once you do, you have a huge company and giant production line behind you.

FWIW, a lot of companies have non-solications in place to try and prevent this kind of behavior. They're far from fool-proof, and there is nothing stopping an employee from leaving of their own volition, but I would guess both of them have some sort of agreement in place not to poach talent directly.

A company is worth the percentage it captures of the value it creates. You alluded to it in your comment--Snap has a much lower headcount and an order of magnitude less operating costs, so if anything it kind of makes sense that they'd be valued at a relative premium.
Also, you may not like Snapchat, but to say it deserves to die when it both a) employs real people and b) clearly serves a market need is such a terrible thing to wish for.

FWIW, this is taxable by law. Gifts above a certain amount (I believe $10k) are taxed as normal income.

You can turn that off.

We use Stripe Billing, and we actually use Anrok for US sales tax compliance. They’re solid domestically, but they don’t do international registration, filing, and remittance; they only do calculation.
There are also firms like VAT IT (vatcompliance.com) that can do this if you want to work with a more traditional service provider.
