I'm not too sure about the paper quality/weight/foldability tradeoff, but I appreciate the fact that it's really light and I can just fold it in half and stuff it into my inside jacket pocket and go out and read it over coffee.

I wonder how those mistakes were caught - I guess it is hard for them to track since they seem to rely on news reports.

If it is usually some audit firm, seems like it is working somewhat as intended, at least in the business related ones. - in other cases like research it might be important enough to hire an audit firm to verify your spreadsheet model/data provenance.

+1, played when I was a kid, picked it up again a few months ago for nostalgia, I must say it holds up really well. It’s feels well-constructed, put together from simple concepts/components, in a way that makes it quite replayable. Many decisions have big-ish consequences, and there is not too much micro managing, unless you play really big galaxy and want to exterminate everyone. Very tight UI as well for the era. I like it much better than Moo2. I only wonder what would have to be different if there was multiplayer.

Options usually have an expiry when granted, i.e. they need to be exercised (employee pays cash at the strike price for it) before the expiry.

You need to pay capital gains tax when the gains are realized, I.e. at exercise.

I’m just speculating here but I think the problem is that the value of Airbnb stock has increased so much that the taxes due on the capital gain large enough that these option holders can’t afford to pay it without a liquidity event e.g IPO, where they could just sell the acquired stock to pay taxes.

So these early employees that were compensated in options are in this weird place where they can’t afford to exercise and are short on luck if their options expire before an IPO.

Also if you leave the company, your options usually expire some time after (perhaps 90 days?). I think that’s why some employees are complaining the lack of an IPO prevents them from moving on.

I presume later employees are conpensated in Restricted Stock Units which don’t have this problem.

I would posit that the decrease in price of computational resources drives a couple of things - better quality (more resolution, colors, for e.g) and ease/cost of development.

You might see individual applications do the same things, and consume more resources due to the layers and layers of abstractions, BUT be cheaper to build. As a consequence, many, many, many more applications being built, for cheaper, reaching more people, "eating the world".

did you sign up for tsa precheck and/or clear? If you travel that much the amortized cost would make sense. You basically get inserted into the line right after the "check id" part and don't have to take off shoes/ laptops
