I was exclusively using Dvorak on my home and work machines for 8 years, but switched back to QWERTY about 5 years ago. I loved the feel of Dvorak -- subjectively more comfortable -- but minor annoyances added up.
1. I didn't practice QWERTY, so when I used someone else's computer, it was always an exercise in re-jogging my memory
2. Having to use one hand/finger to type (don't ask me why :)) on DVORAK was super slow because I had to map manually each key in my brain because I couldn't rely on the letters on the physical key caps
Ultimately I also wasn't typing that much, even as a programmer, so it didn't make a huge difference for me, but I do miss it sometimes.
I've only worked at companies running in the cloud. Is there a console (open-source or otherwise) and other tooling similar to AWS' for managing your resources in your own data center?
What do you mean by this comment? The title matches the link and is also correct. This is Alphabet reporting, which includes Google and other related entities.
The title of the article is a bit misleading. It implies that he's leaving with a severance package -- that he was let go by the company -- but the $105M is from selling stock from his original employment package and it seems like he's leaving on his own volition.
It's not that misleading. This isn't an early employee who held onto his shares. He joined less than two years ago. He got an insanely high compensation package.
On the bright side, Coinbase launched a lot of high-value new products during the last two years that will help the company thrive and grow in the coming years.
Coinswitch, a crypto-exchange in India is now pivoting to wealth management:
> We have seven new non-crypto products in our 2023 roster, which includes fixed deposits, ETFs [exchange-traded funds], mutual funds, stocks, bonds and U.S. equities.
> The goal is to be the one-stop wealth-tech destination for every Indian. As we diversify into other asset classes, there are different business models we are experimenting with to check which is the best for customers. There are multiple partnerships in place since we are launching such large-scale assets onto our platform. [Editor’s note: CoinSwitch declined to give the names of partners or detail on licenses obtained to sell non-crypto products.]
> We started off with a mission to make money equal for all. Crypto was the starting point for us but we will continue to innovate towards being a wealth tech platform. We see crypto as an investment class that is offered alongside other assets, to help users build a diversified portfolio.

HN is full of genuinely delusional people who genuinely say these things. It's part of the reason jokes go so poorly here is that some sane people who read them have read identical statements from serious people so it's never clear when something is a joke.
or, someone spending a few seconds skimming comments while doing something else, and adding a question, without spending enough attention to even comprehend that it might have been satire
He got a pretty typical comp package but he happened to get in right before COIN stock took off, which made it astronomical.
It's like the folks who joined Amazon a few years ago as Staff engineers. Their original comp packages were valued at $200k-$300k per year, but then the stock took off, and they ended up with $1M+ per year. They started with a typical package that was stock heavy and got lucky.
Interestingly the people getting in now are getting screwed for the same reason -- with the stock dropping, their comp package is getting cut in half.
I don’t think it makes sense to compare options with RSUs. The former is worthless in a company that doesn’t grow and it’s necessary to stay with the company until IPO. It’s a huge risk. The latter is closer to cash, bubbles notwithstanding.
The people getting in now aren’t screwed, they can just ask for refreshers. But the previous batch certainly got an unexpected windfall.
To be clear, the $400m "bonus" isn't a bonus at all. It's an incentive package that's based on the price of the stock sustaining over 180 days, and the first milestone of this incentive package starts at $187.50, which is >3x the current price. $DASH was above $187.50 last year but didn't meet the 180 day duration requirement.
In other words, Tony hasn't gotten paid anything from this package, and may never will.
The package is described in the revised s1, and DoorDash is required to report it because they have to account for this package (probabilistically via Monte Carlo simulations) on their books.
I think it'd be better for them to re-market this principle as "bias-free" or something more generic. Calling it "anti-racist/anti-oppression" is, fair-or-not, going to invite this reaction from outsiders.
> Funny that this would rocket to the front page so quickly. Shows where everyone's minds are at.
I don't find this so surprising. Inflation (and rates as a consequence) has been affecting a good number of people directly or indirectly (cost of goods/gas, stocks, layoffs, etc).
I was thinking MUCH more curated inventory. Private label for many/most of the staples. Relatively high quality at reasonable prices. Mostly non-organic with some organic options.
No, that was what PrimeNow was. PrimeNow is discontinued last year.
Amazon Fresh is scheduled fairly large delivery windows, usually at least a day out. If you get super lucky there might be an available slot later the same day but not often if city.
