They're overwhelmed with all the vibecoded apps people are pushing after watching the Super Bowl.

Sounds like you're using "Home" view. You can switch to "latest Tweets" view, which would eliminate 4, 5, 6, and 10 from your list.

Interesting. Does anyone ever fail this part of the interview?

You expect the company to be worth $10b at some point in the future, but the question to be answered is how much you think the company is worth today. Let's say you think the company is worth $10m now, which makes your stock worth $10k. Suppose the company then raises $90m in funding and gives the investors a 90% stake. Now your shares are only 0.01% of the company, and you think "Oh no, I got screwed by dilution!" But the company is now worth $100m, because it has its previous $10m worth of assets plus $90m in cash. So your 0.01% is still worth $10k.

What matters now is how the company spends the money. Hopefully they spend it smartly and the value of the company increases 10x. Now your stock is worth $100k. You didn't get screwed by dilution, you got a $90k bonanza because the company was successful.

Dilution is a red herring. It doesn't change the value of your shares (theoretically). What will matter is how the company spends the funds that it raises, and whether it does so in a way that generates a positive or negative return on investment.

In case anyone is wondering, interstate wagering on horse races is specifically allowed in federal law by the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978, so it's not affected by this reinterpretation of the Wire Act.

The article is about the insider trading charges that were filed against him today, so yeah.

Not through an ordinary appeal, but they could file for an extraordinary writ. Given the number of small claims cases that Equifax has been facing, it might be something they would consider.

Except that Service Worker support is a prerequisite for supporting the standard Push API, and push notifications are probably the most common usage of Service Workers. So it's a reasonable question.
