This is interesting in a "of course" kind of way. If you look at a bunch of variables, including BMI, and then you remove the impact of well known negative health impacts of obesity (prediabetes/T2D), then you see that high B

it happens with CTOs. At many companies, CTO is less of a management role and more of "the leader of all of the principal engineers and source of innovation for the company". VPE reports to CTO and does the administrative side of

I don’t think google has the capacity to become more efficient as an organization. Google is a strange mix of hyper capitalism and literal 5 year planning command economy communism. The thin interface of the company with rest of the univers

Ok, no one has given a good answer to this yet. The “internal valuation” is a 409a valuation and the primary use case is for the tax basis for options granted within 12 months of the grant date. Stripe gives double trigger RSUs so this won’

Bukele is promoting BTC as a sort of crony capitalism/kleptocrat play. This is not a high minded “advancing society” play.

It’s not just the parts though, it’s the expertise. Boeing has maintenance systems and programs that Russia does not have access to. The parts and schedules and materials are not really pirateable. The package needed is a combination of a p

The parts in question (semi coonductors, oil services equipment, jet engine parts) are not manufactured in India or china.

It’s a weird trick. Russia has more money but they can’t import anything so it keeps piling up. Their economy is shrinking +10% yoy because they cannot import the parts necessary to run a modern economy

I wasn't referencing modern judaism, I was referencing the word of god itself, which clearly does not support any notion of fetal personhood.

You are incorrect. The bible does not support fetal personhood. The bible clearly gives fetuses a lower moral valence than a living person and discusses that an accident that results in a stillbirth is not equivalent to "killing a pers

A huge crash in crypto prices is a great thing for people working on regular old startup/Saas cash flow businesses. A lot of potential investment and a modest amount of talent has been siphoned out of the real productive economy into t

The best crypto grift was the neobank startups that were front ends for investing in anchor, a 20%APY crypto ponzi. Anchor crashed with Luna and all those startups kept their money in failed stable coins and have folded and failed to make p

Talent is global now, but culture and time zones still matter. For the top 15% of companies and talent offshoring is less about “pay people less” and it’s more about “hire a team of 80 people in a year”. It’s extremely difficult to hire a t

The huge majority of H1Bs are given to L4+ (aka non entry level) engineers. These directors/VPs have headcount to fill and would prefer a productive L4 to a "needs a lot of training" L3 every day of the week. IMO the real iss

Its not about the visa power imbalance, its that a person who graduates a bootcamp today will need about 4 - 5 years of highly focused coding to become as productive as the Indian L4/L5 engineer that they would be compared to in this r

The issue employers have with unions is much less about wage bargaining an almost entirely about the duplicative work/labor unions tend to lead to. As a hypothetical, lets say you run a widget factory. Line workers at your widget facto
