but then his "extremist site" would have been in their browser history

Even in the debates it was obvious both candidates were talking about keeping the act. I thought it was bizarre they didn't acknowledge that to each other.

"Fix it"

"Repeal it and replace it with more competitive state exchanges" so like fix it?

worked so well for HD DVD

where's the study of every technology the porn industry adopted that still failed

actually, don't do that study, I get all my investors by saying "historically porn has been a leading indicator of tech adoption, and look they're using it!"

Forget the Firefox Tor browser, use Whonix

Two Virtual Machines, the one you actually use for browsing and stuff only connects through the gateway virtual machine.

If an exploit breaks out the firefox skin, it is just in the host VM, if it somehow breaks out of the host VM it is in the gateway VM.

We could keep going down possibilities, but we are far removed from attack vectors that actually exist.

Do you guys ever get tired of Twitter stories?

Do you guys ever get tired of me pointing out that it will still be a Unicorn when it trades at 1/10th of the price and has a sustainable business model? We call those success stories, but lets be honest, its the share price you are worried about.

A standard SV job .... in CALIFORNIA .... must restrict those agreements to things done on company time, on company equipment or suffer the whole employment agreement being invalid, severance clause or not!

Use that paid time off, or "flex" hours.

And regarding the paper trail, payments under $600 need not be reported to the IRS. 1099's only get filed after you have been paid over $600. Ask for cash.

Pretty good but rule #4 is totally totally opinion without any consideration about why someone would be defensive.

So given that Amir of June is the only person doing this quirky interview style (where you actually pay them for their time), the interviewer still has absolutely no idea of this psychological gimmick Amir has baked into his process. Right at the very end!

Amir Yasin admits that he is elevating them into a contracting gig status, and contractors ARE THE EXPERTS! They have to be the expert! They have to make up stuff on the fly to defend their implementation, "its a feature".

But for Amir's warped interview process, of which the candidate is being bussed around on a literal auction block at other companies before having the luxury of getting his groundbreaking interview style, he still has this one random assessment.

Look, Amir is the one that elevated his tiny sample size of engineers into gospel. There likely was a literal 2 people that formed his and his company's entire opinion about Rule #4.

So I think it is worthwhile to point that out.

You are basically implying that if someone does due diligence and decides not to invest, that the company is invalid.

Its okay, that is a common sentiment.

Incorrect though

Getting funded by VCs doesn't mean what you think it means. It isn't validation or lack thereof, it is perceived portfolio fit plain and simple.
