CockroachDB 1.0 9 years ago

And that's my point. You're only offended because it's in english (and that's fair). But no matter what name you use, it will offend someone. CucarachaDB will fly under the radar.

Maybe you have to be culturally immersed to know those things. Mongo, mongol and mongólico are the terms you should research.

If calling your product RetardedDB or MentallyChallengedDB in a professional setting is OK by his standards because it's not spelled in english, then I'm OK with that. That's what mongo means in spanish, btw.

Andrew Mason's $378.36 Retirement Package 13 years ago

Found this.

2nd comment from http://www.businessinsider.com/bizarre-groupon-ceo-andrew-ma...

It does seem like there's some reason. I wonder if its a tax convenience thing. It says he got $7186 in other comp and the footnote that includes the cost of parking, etc... But that's non-cash so if he only made $1, they wouldn't actually have enough in his paycheck each month to cover the taxes that need to be withheld (social security, etc...) so he's have to go to the trouble of writing a check each month. It's a good gesture as is; no reason to make it logistically inconvenient on him and the payroll staff. My guess is if you put this all in an accounting system, someone who makes $757 in cash and $7186 in non-cash income in Chicago IL has to withhold $756 in various taxes on their W-2.

Google Nexus 4 Review 14 years ago

In Spain Google is advertising the Nexus 4 for 299€ / 349€. So I don't really know what is going on in Sweden. Maybe is because they don't use the euro as its currency?
