The Company You’ll Join:
At Carta we create owners and make private markets liquid.
We live in a world where some people live on the equity stack and enjoy exponential wealth growth and preferential tax treatment; others live on the debt stack and may work their entire lives for a company and retire only with the cash they’ve managed to save from their paychecks. Our contribution to solving the wealth inequality problem is moving people from the debt stack (payroll) to the equity stack. By making it as easy to issue equity to employees as it is to put them on payroll, we can create more owners.
At Carta, we are helpful, transparent, fair, and kind. We are relentless executors, unconventional thinkers, and masters of our craft.

Came here to exactly say this, living your life in a non-emergency situation in some parts of the world like Delhi is close to current living conditions in the Bay Area (+surrounding states) under unprecedented wild fire in the modern history!
Is the advantage of getting an allocation purely that the said investor buys the said stock at the price that is agreed upon in the price range of the filings with NASDAQ/NYSE ?
Also are these investors usually the HNW individuals who typically invest Millions thru the investment banking firms that are underwriting the said IPO, so win/win for the HNW and the banking firm in the way that it can guarantee the IPO'ing company that it can confidently underwrite and is also using the HNWs money to cover most of the risk ?
Please correct me if I am wrong in understanding this complex process.
I hope this California bill[0] soon gets enacted into law, that would give extra protection to the residents against selling a customers data without written consent. Written consent is big here!!
If there`s state associated with Akka actors, to shut them down in a proper manner and not lose state you have to use Akka persistence which just means doubling down on Akka ecosystem.
Scala is amazing if you want to use it for light weight server programming and want to use functional constructs along the way.
If somehow you are convinced to use Akka because of high throughput streaming architecture, please just take a step back and make sure you understand what you are getting into!
Is someone else worried that the vision is not 180 view in the front ?
At 22 seconds at the stop sign, after the first car drives past what if theres a car that breaks the stop sign and ends up ramming into the tesla (as a human sometimes you anticipate this by seeing that the car is not decelerating as it is approaching the stop sign)
I have seen so many deals on Ring security system and not surprised my entire community is on Ring (since its closer to a Costco) and we are the only household without any kind of security system atm.
This is akin to case classes of Scala such a welcoming change to the Java world.
Apart from being a functional language one of main draws to Scala is the ease with which one can get rid of the boilerplate code. So kudos to the Java team!
I have been on a couple of remote/distributed teams and a common concern is that one misses out on the watercooler/hallway discussions happening between the employees.
We have usually gotten around this by saying - "hey , let us take this discussion over slack and may be XXX would have some good ideas to discuss".
> We were inexperienced and didn't really know what to look for. Homes that required extensive rehab seemed too daunting and a turnkey property in a nice neighborhood was too expensive.
1. what in your experience are the top 3 things to look for especially for a market like Bay Area ?
2. Follow up to 1. longer term do you think the model will do well for markets outside of Bay Area like Phoenix, Vegas etc.
2. How did you overcome the cold start problem for your models ?
(A while ago there was a podcast (IIRC from NPR) where Zillow ran a contest to reduce the error % of their price prediction model and the team that won probably ended up also using factors like direction of the sunlight etc.)
3. Given your competitors use these kind of data points, will your model rely heavily on satellite imagery etc. to infer these kind of data points in the future ?
Info from the link, 4000 tigers remain on earth out of which 3000 in India.
Wow!! just wow, take a bow - to the rangers, the NGO`s, the Govt and the population, this is something the country can be really proud about. A country with a huge population and struggling to keep pace with the rapid industrialization this is very good news.
Like someone else said in the thread long way to go but immensely positive signs :)
Question to the readers: Have tigers existed in the Americas ? Were they hunt to extinction or ?
This is such a welcome news and a great start to the week!
But with the recent news about a tigress beaten to death in India and after coming across some videos in the social media on the tiger encounters with humans, I hope the Indian govt. also works on bolstering education and awareness campaigns across the rural population on the man vs animal encounters and also works towards preserving the forests where these encounters are reported.
> “Opportunities for professional growth” is the clear winner, appearing 13 percentage points above even “salary”.
Ofcourse professional growth is the winner as more often than not is directly proportional to one`s salary.
As a s/w engg. "professional growth" is a hybrid of bunch of things - learning new tech, Cloud knowledge(k8s, docker etc.), and well summarized in the lines below by the author:
> In short, software engineers of all stripes want, more than anything else, to develop their abilities as engineers. They want it more than pay, more than work/life balance, and more than autonomy.
