You're mixing up your points. I never said that it was normal for foreign entities to influence elections, although it also is normal and you can quickly confirm this by looking at the funding received by random parties of your choice.

What's that have to do with Lyft? It doesn't matter how principled your opposition here is...boards have obligations, and this isn't one of them.

This is completely normal in politics and commerce. And regardless, he was elected in a fair vote. The end. If you run another election now he'll win again.

Yeah again, Lyft's board is appointed with obligations to the company and the shareholders. Companies can have an ethos of social responsibility, but the board isn't there with an obligation to social responsibility, or to oppose

Corporations have NO moral obligation to oppose people that you happen to oppose. Lyft should be sued by their investors for misappropriation of funds.

My point is that corporations don't start product development for even a bar of candy without extensive market segmentation and psychological profiling. This is completely run of the mill stuff in this day and age, and you can be certa

What moral obligation?

by anjc 10y ago
This is a bizarre and inflammatory conspiracy theory in itself. A politician using an analytics firm that uses psychological profiling...welcome to the 20th century.

Campaigning for H1B increases means campaigning for them across the board. There have been cases of H1B's effectively being slaves in some companies.

Yes, Brin, who campaigns to let in more cheap workers from emerging economies via H1B should be in charge of America.

Yeah, wanting reasonable evidence before believing in the casual relationship between two events is fair. But in this case, the Redditor can't provide scientific proof, because he's a layman. What he can provide is evidence that h

It's crazy how arrogant a little knowledge can make some people, as seen in that Reddit thread.

I have a 3d TV and it's really excellent. I think people have associated the annoying extra cost of 3d in cinemas, for not much benefit, with 3d on TVs. I don't know why. It's very immersive at home. The only annoyance is tha

I get what you're saying. But I'd argue that it isn't the watches themselves which scream wealth, but rather the brand. Well perhaps being able to say that your watch is made from solid gold would signify a level of wealth to

by anjc 10y ago
Yeah I agree with that. Although that's arguably similar for many high-end brands. I certainly know of Chanel, say, and even know their general history somehow, but I wouldn't recognise their products in a line-up with clothes fro

I think you're misinterpreting the mass market. Yes if you're into watches you know Patek. How many people are into watches? Even the people who can afford to buy Pateks aren't necessarily into watches. I know nobody who woul

Even a good fake with a Swiss movement could cost $500-1000. It might still be worth robbing.

The fluidity of language doesn't get around the fact that it's perfectly possible to incorrectly use phrases and words.

Just to be clear, the guy's talking about Corporate Strategy. And he's correct in a way yet incorrect in others. As he says, secrecy may lead to competitive advantages (e.g. Apple's control of the supply chain meaning advanta
