The above might be too far-fetched as it only applied to India? They did pay a fine to the regulator and resumed trading (might not be the same strategy though)

To OP’s original question, they made $20B last year and have a niche in several financial products

hmm, I did not know that. Do you have some external links or returns to back this claim?

Think there are many others (you mentioned one of them e.g., TGS) but they are not in the same league as RenTec's medallion fund.

Does anyone know of any well known tools that generate bindings in other languages e.g., Python from C++ code?

IIUC, this tool does the opposite i.e., generate C++/other language bindings from Python

Curious, what kind of companies were these?

In my experience in the valley, almost all of the h1b's I have worked with are the smartest people I know from top colleges.

hmm, I don't think it is pre-tax. May be some NFLX employee can confirm.

hmm, from what I have seen, $400k is usually their de-facto salary that gets junior folks (L4/E4) from F/G to make their top of market and move to NFLX. Beyond that, do you know how the comp progression is?

You get the option to invest any portion of your salary in NFLX stock options.

Interesting. Do you happen to know if there is a formal process to do so or just an email would suffice?

Ask HN: Quarterly result info of startup after quitting in SV?

hatred — Thu, 09 Aug 2018 02:28:18 +0000

For an ex-employee with some exercised equity at a SV startup, are they eligible by law to get quarterly results?

New comment by hatred in "In Q2 2018, Global VC Scales Tipped In Favor Of Chinese Startups Over American"

Do you have any links to confirm the latter?

From what I have been seeing, the number of both Indian/Chinese students coming to the US for studying has gone down post the Trump administration. Also, I am seeing more Indian/Chinese folks going back home due to increase in engineering wages/opportunities. Of course, it's still not comparable to US but plenty-enough to live a very good life-style back home.

What was Github's current valuation? It seems that the last round valued them at $2b in 2015. Around ~3x multiple on the last round (~7.5b$). Hopefully, the employees are all happy!

Curious, did you evaluate any other similar technologies like Swarm/(Mesos+Marathon) etc.?

What made you eventually go ahead with K8s other than the main obvious reason (the community) itself?

They are upvoted because they are extremely nifty and useful :)

Check out their usage in Cassandra: http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/bloom_filte...

There should be many more you can find via quick googling.

The driver was around near by; this was in SF. I paid a generous tip via the app.

Hmm, my experience with Lyft was slightly different. I went to past trips, clicked find lost item. The support reached out to the driver in 10 minutes and I had the driver at my door in a hour. Haven’t Lost an item with Uber though for comparison.

New comment by hatred in "How I sold my stock options"

Usually the common stocks goes at a discount of around close to 15-20percent when compared to preferred for good deals. If the company is not doing well, the discount would be higher proportionally.

Most startups in SV though have a standard ROFR clause. So as long as you can find a buyer, you would get paid.

That being said, read the options agreement carefully and ensure your interests are well protected.

Please don’t spread FUD when you have no clue what you are talking about. Mesos core is certainly not legacy and has been on C++11 for a long time/is very well maintained and has a large active development community. In case a bug has fell through the cracks; kindly reach out on the user mailing list and I am reasonably confident you would get a response.
