I still do think reviews are the best way to get aggregated feedback on established (companies, products, restaurants etc). In order to normalize reviews for myself, I try go through them and sort by least and quickly skim a few reviews to

Awesome post. Definitely good timing as I was about to start an Ask HN around this as I go through the process. I've also asked about early exercise (83(b)) and term sheets, if there are bad terms i.e. liquidation pref, anti-dilution e

It's great to see museums working towards spreading the reach of their collections and reaching new audiences. Also for folks interested: SF MoMA was doing something similar where if you texted them a word they would send you a picture

Interesting read! With the digitization of data, it's hopefully easier to create a digital trail but I was wondering how they would handle this in terms of a paper trail, especially because a lot of things might need to be backdated. A

I agree with the possible liability aspect but if they are doing it already, i.e. taking notes or rubric scoring, then it's just a matter of sending a summarized version of that and hopefully it's feedback from multiple people and

I am not sure if this is in the interest of any company but why not provide feedback, as it can only help the interviewees in the future and the companies attract better talent. Even if it's not standardized, a rubrik across X attribut

Super interesting policy! I was thinking about why Tokyo doesn't do the same and reciprocate, thereby competing with the smaller towns. I do realize that Tokyo/(any other big city) wouldn't want to do this till the number of

Definitely some interesting applications. Sort of orthogonal but is there a similar way to get sound from seeing someone's lip's move in a video -- would it then be possible to recover audio/conversations from old video only

The Caesar's case that he mentions was an interesting case study, they totally tried to get away with it -- in that case it was the $450 million mistake. In case people are interested: https://www.bloomberg.com/view&#x2

This was fascinating, makes me want to actually try and build a frankenstein phone. Thank you for posting!

It's amazing how good it looks and yet is so cheap. Apart from the display and Face ID, I wonder how much it would cost to source used iPhone parts, perhaps even older version (iPhone 6 etc) and build out the internals for this phone.

It might have been budgeted in or part of some other discretionary spending limit (employee perks, parties etc) and this is so small that it doesn't matter. I have seen termsheets where the founders need board/investor approval fo

I'm always skeptical about this argument because it can be seen either way, if the old world companies stuck to their vision/mission they might just be disrupted by new/alternate business models/technology and if they tr

Can any lawyers summarize the actual lawsuit? What do these investors want exactly, more money? The stock price went up by any measure, from Feb 3, 2017 to Mar 19, 2018, so it can't be compensation for that. Unless they are willing to

Is this a startup or just an old-school company rebranded as a startup? Couldn't find a website for them (unless it's storage racks).

This was great on AMD's part. They responded to all of the issues and also put it into perspective. Also, it looks like they are in-line with releasing fixes (in a couple of weeks) way under the 90 day disclosure timeframe.

They were planning to use Cambridge Analytica to make it happen /s In all reality, the common public is probably indifferent to his running, at this point, and I believe this current series of events hasn't changed much.

After reading about the timeframe, I now think this might be a reason they are blocking ads starting in June, if something is bad, why not stop now, instead of at the start of a new quarter. (when these ads may have likely scammed people fo

I wonder how much of current ad revenue (Google/FB) is coming from cryptocurrency related companies and how this might negatively impact their earnings. However, it may be a small amount or they both factored this change into their for

Agreed on the losing money part, in general, but in a stock as volatile as AMD, I feel like there is an opportunity for this type of action, may not be the case for others. Also, as nothing has been verified about the report (from AMD), the
