I agree they should have done what they said they would do and should have talked to potential customers before making something that was not wanted or needed. And I do not dispute what you say about the product not being needed. I also ag

It is a shame that Juicero could not develop a product with a lower price point that could reach a much broader marketplace. With the initial price point they should have clearly seen that their customer pool was going to be smaller than t

This is terrible. This lady was simply trying to protect patient privacy and follow hospital protocol. This officer was way out of line. It appears he is the one that should have been on the phone with his own supervisor to get the appro

Banking is big business and as long as they can prevent competition, whether through innovation that limits their ability to collect fees or through what we see as true competitors, our banking systems will not change. They wield power and

I find it interesting that there was no mention of insurance coverage for this new drug or the other high priced drugs such as Harvoni. If it takes months of arguing with the insurance companies to provide the drug what has happened to the

I absolutely work too much. I always have and probably always will. I am the first to tell people to have a better work/life balance and to go watch their kids play ball, etc. I enjoy work and always have and thankfully my family un

I use to live in Sugarland just outside Houston and fire ants are everywhere. They are like roaches, they seem to be able to survive just about anything. And yes they will ruin your day really quickly.

This has nothing to do with illegal immigrants vs immigrants. Immigrants are targeted for deportation if they are convicted of a crime or as the article states if they are affiliated with gangs. Immigrants are deported every day if they ha

Ask for time to process their feedback and schedule time days later to go over their feedback so that you can make sure that you absorb all the information provided. This will give a cooling off period and prevent emotional responses. You

CDOs helped to usher in the entire collapse of the economy in 2007. I find it hard to believe that the reemergence of these financial instruments which function largely in shadow banking are going to be a good thing long-term. It took sev

This is really sad news not only for his family but those who work at Elemental. It certainly sounds like he not only built a great company with his team but also was a great person who contributed much to his community. We should all be

As a reformed government executive, I really hate to see matters thrown to the government to correct. Having said that, there is a huge disparity in power between a VC and a founder(s) seeking funding. No founder should be subjected to un

It is really sad that for all the wonderful things to come from the Internet it has also brought out the worst in people. When people bully, defame, and abuse people online and reap financial rewards for doing so, then something is wrong.

People are not "just swiped up". A grand jury is presented with base facts and asked to issue an indictment so that the suspects can be arrested. Without the issuance of a True Bill (indictment) the investigation must continue b

And even if they are aware of the tech shenanigans at Uber, they will forgive and forget as long as they can get a subsidized ride with their local Uber drivers. People care more about their own bottom line than what is going on out in SV.
