I had the same experience. When I was in high school, there was a group of "Quorans" (including a few "prominent" ones) that used to hangout on G+/hangouts, and I used to stop by from time to time. Back then I was v

Definitely not a finance expert, but their forward P/E ratio was lower than their peer group.

I know several companies, including one I've worked for before, with very strict no company property laptop or phone policy for entering China. Issues were mainly related to IP and data sovereignty.

Not all guests know that ratings are hidden until reviews are completed. And for those that know, maybe they were planning on guilting them into it?

I was a big fan of the $25 referral bonuses in the early days. Probably saved a few hundred dollars overall.

I'm curious, anywhere where I could read more about the high/low statistics?

T-Mobile solves this through de-prioritization, so your service is only degraded when there is congestion AND once you've crossed a certain threshold (53GB right now I think).

The big transcontinental railroads own several feet around the railroad, which is prime real estate for cables and the like.

A personal example of this from the past week. I got an offer in SF for ~150k, which would require me moving from a medium/high COL location. My friend gets an offer in Huntsville, Alabama for ~90k. Guess who has the higher cost of liv

I ended up replacing several fitbits in my family with Apple watches. The $199 price point is very compelling.

Definitely agree that equity compensation carries risk. However, I've seen equity pitched as a way to "make up" for the lower cash comp a startup might offer. This is probably the wrong way to look at equity. The expected val

When I received my most recent startup offer, I was handed a spreadsheet that outlined the size of my option, and what they would be worth under multiple hypothetical scenarios, including highly-optimistic >400M and >3B valuations. Wh

I think there is a demographic and/or preference shift occurring. The small liberal arts college I attended recently had a year where it could only fill 600 out of 700 potential seats. The college filled out all 700 seats the next year

Definitely agree. Roberts court aside, I remember during oral argument some justices being very uncomfortable with the ramifications of a strong ruling on either side.

You beat me to it! Carpenter is a very interesting case that I was following last term. If you're unfamiliar, the case is about the disputed abolishment of certain reservations in Oklahoma. If the court rules that the reservations were

I had the same reaction. Every time I visit/fly over places like New York and SF I'm torn. Waterfront properties are beautiful, but then I think back to the dynamic ecosystem and landscape that was there 300-600 years ago and how

I'm not sure this is as true that the MBA level. The benefits over a "regular" school are usually in networking and "better" recruitment.

I think of "elite" (M7/T15/whatever) programs as an expensive recruiting mechanism. To get in, you need great work experience, great recommenders, excellent test scores, and a great story. Basically things that signal yo

To be fair, Sprint was doing REALLY poorly, and I'm not sure what could have saved them except a merger. I remember their quarterly calls spending much more time on the accounting maneuvers that generated the cash to cover losses than

Yep. I started with a new account to make things easier. Pruning from hundreds down to 10-50 is much harder than just thinking about who/what you actually care about.
