4/23    Suppose you used to work at Awesome Corp that got acquired by
        Monsanto Corp. You're embarrassed about it and people now hate
        you by association. Should you put Monsanto on your resume? Or
        is it better to leave it out completely?

3/1     Can someone explain to me why Groupon is a tech company?
        \_ It's similar to how Amazon and eBay are tech companies.
           \_ Amazon and eBay are *NOW* tech companies, they didn't
              start that way. Groupon started off as a marketing
              company, and their "technology" isn't getting any better
              than a bigger and bigger opt-in email spam system.

        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.
