Ironic. I agree with your sentiment but find the opposite conclusion. If I were a United employee I would also not be impressed. UA is now instantly associated with violence. You want to know that something went wrong and that UA doesn&#x27

In my opinion, accounting can not be boiled down to something as simple as blockchain. Any inputs that you put into the chain would probably still need to be vetted by accountants. There's GAAP, industry practices, and even individual

I wonder how much time and money they spent on designing this ruinous format. "Please. Please. Just let me read."

My comment was not meant to suggest that what happened was right. My comment was meant to suggest that anger at the CEO for supporting his employees, who only called security, and didn't beat the guy up themselves, is misplaced. UA scr

Rough. I can see where he's coming from though. This was a private email to employees, and in that context he definitely needs to be a cheerleader for them. Overbookings are industry standard, and they called security for someone who w

I understand they don't get legal protection. That's not my point. My point is that companies don't just dump out information on how they operate. They protect their trade secrets, which as the definition you provided says, a

This is a really tough question. And I don't think people really want to argue that workers shouldn't have the ability to form groups and collectively bargain. To me, the current status isn't as simple as that. The current st

No, In this case I have complete right to control how my users make use of my product because we agreed to it. It might not be rational because I might lose to an open competitor, but that's a completely different subject. There's

The only thing Uber did is create taxi drivers without artificial medallion limits. Why are there expectations for a taxi dispatching service to be the savior of the middle class? The gig economy may make "false promises" about ho

Everybody likes to feel taken advantage of. If I was a business owner or engineer that built systems this complex and you asked me to not lock it down, I'd call you freaking crazy. These are very expensive and complex machines, and you

I could be wrong. But I think that the two rates serve slightly different purposes. The federal funds rate is an overnight rate for one. And I'm sure that American banks sometimes use libor for setting rates on securities. I would be s

If it's not specific to the healthcare system, price increases should mirror inflation. The underlying cause being high material standard of living? Because that is why it's circular logic to me. I still have a problem with using
