Unclear what the article is saying. Judge ruled against her and so she’s “declining to turn herself in.” So… Just arrest her and take her to jail then? Any lawyers that can advise on what’s going on here?

Tech is a rare industry where you can easily pivot into it later in your career, start at an entry level position, work your way very high up the ladder and get paid very well along the way. I know folks without a college degree that starte

A lot of this boils down to the need for better zoning and stricter controls on what happens where when. Forces today are pulling things in other directions… build houses everywhere, even in places where it makes no sense to build houses. W

You don’t find out who is great at business when everything is up and to the right, you find out when the market is rough. The current market is already doing a good job of shaking out companies and executives that really weren’t very good

The simple fact is that 10 years in you need to become profitable or there’s no business. Todays market isn’t going to look kindly on a loss making startup of that vintage. The $1B valuation is long gone and realistically the company is pro

UBS is basically buying an abandoned storage locker at this stage. At this point Credit Suisse is mostly junk and may be worthless but UBS might be able to find a few things of value in there to make it worth their time and money. Sad to se

The author makes some glaring assumptions that these managed services are just sort of managed EC2 with no further optimizations. I find it very hard to believe that this is the case. Just on networking (which is his focus here) there’s a t

So this effectively destroys any concept of AI digital art for sale. If there’s no way to protect it then there’s really nothing to own. It would be like trying to sell someone public domain content.

CS has had a range of challenges with its leadership and operational practices for years. This is just the latest in a string of events, some of them borderline just bizarre, calling into question the competency of the bank’s leadership it

Never fun for those impacted, but given Meta’s poor performance this is expected. The history book is being written now on if Meta was a brilliant business for the ages or always destined to decline into a has-been tech play. Ironically now

This whole thing will go down in history as a case study in how not to communicate and lead in a crisis. The bank’s leadership made some bad financial decisions but then scored a massive “own goal” in how they communicated all that to the m

The two biggest problems I’ve seen develop with Google are that: 1. The quality of the search algorithm’s ability to sift through nonsense to find “the good stuff” seems to have gotten progressively worse, and that’s largely fueled by: 2. G

So in part folks playing financial wizardry with mortgages to get people to buy homes that they wouldn’t otherwise afford or be willing to buy. What could possibly go wrong?

It’s cost cutting, but the fact that others are doing it does provide PR cover. A variety of factors, including higher interest rates, create an environment where the tolerance for a lack of profit or productivity from certain operations be

This is like saying only carpenters should be able to design houses. Sure there are some excellent carpenters that are also good architects, but most are not. There obviously needs to be good communication between the carpenters and the arc

McKinsey’s brand has taken a beating these last few years with the company going from scandal to scandal. The NY Times has been doing a whole string of stories on the firm’s questionable business practices and ethics. Funny though how it so

Everything fails all the time. The fiber cut was not responsible for this. Lufthansa having woefully inadequate resiliency plans in place with their infrastructure is to blame. This is 100% on poor management practices by Lufthansa, but of

Waves of the market are just a fact of the business world. A whole bunch of folks graduating in 2007-09 walked into a massive dumpster fire of an economy that makes the current scenario look like nothing. Some folks are in a bad spot at a b

There’s some very good stuff going on but no question the hype cycle is currently shifting. Crypto is dead, AI is the new crypto. With that, all the hype-sters and shady folks rush in and it can quickly become hard to differentiate between

This is a challenging subject, but there’s a lot of valid criticism of DEI efforts of many large companies. For one, these programs tend to be led by teams that are, ironically, not very diverse. They tend to focus too much on box checking

2023 is going to be a brutal “forest fire” market cleansing for non-profitable startups. As these companies run short on cash the best of the best will convince VCs to top up cash reserves, but this will be a tiny minority. Most of these co
