Experiment: search for “delta“. Delta airlines is the 6th result below (what i think are) 5 ads. Doesn’t seem that good.

My components being end-of-lifed are the Bridge and Connect (and a Play5, but ignore that for now). The Connect is what connects my Sonos devices to the internet. By forcing a partition of my network, the other devices not being end-of-life

It's what it costs to provide the services around it. They are getting all the benefits that tax dollars are paying for and not paying an equitable contribution towards those benefits. Yes, they would be forced to sell for 10x-20x thei

People currently accumulating benefits will stop accumulating. It’s a pay cut. Plan was closed in 2012, so these are longtime employees. People currently collecting pensions are not affected. Ex employees in the pension are being cashed out

If they found it. Big company get so complex i don’t think that’s a given. It’s not like they’d be kissing $100m from a single bank account and just be like, that number is low.

They did not. You really had to jump through hoops to keep it - they really tried to force you to merge your accounts — but it was possible. Source: I never converted.

Capital controls can be an important part of a monetary system. It’s not part of most western countries’ systems, but it’s a very valid tool with a real purpose.

TripIt basically died after acquisition. Hasn’t done anything new or interesting in years.

This strikes me as idealist and disconnected from reality. This is how some engineers think they should be paid without ever seeing the other side. - the first year has a lot more risk than future years - often, you pay yourself less when

I'm not under the impression the execs are risking jail, fines or lifetime job loss. The latter seems possible, but I haven't heard of many execs going to jail or suffering personal fines.

I read this as, “Netflix doesn’t buy CBC shows because people don’t like watching them. CBC publicly complains to government to stifle competition.”

Nothing is wrong per se, but building it and keeping it was, and likely is, the wrong decision (unless you did it as an exercise or to learn). Suppose you had decided to use Redis, Memcache, or any number other things that are available off

I get what you’re saying, but Sonos works differently than a normal speaker. It is playing the music, not your other device. The app is a control. So if you turn on music and leave with your phone, the music keeps going. When other people c

Seems opportunistic. They file for IPO and this lawsuit comes out at the same time? Almost certainly not a coincidence. This is arguably when Spotify is most vulnerable and when they will be most likely to settle -- investors hate uncertain

Threatening to quit is one of the best pieces of advice. Just be prepared to follow through or swallow it and shut up if it doesn't go your way. But for lots of bigger companies, they can't or won't without a thread like this
