It would be simple for them to say 'this is not a serious offer' no matter the premium that is a good faith way of rejecting it. I could offer them $150 a share tomorrow, contingent on financing and would get laughed out of the ro

The boards mandate is one of fiduciary duty. Bluntly, that is not a mandate to maximize shareholder value, especially in the short term. They do not have an offer that will maximize shareholder value - they have an offer that will increase

that was my take too. As with any company, if they can stop sharing revenue with third parties it seems almost inevitable that they will. It isn't just Amazon basics, its Netflix producing its own shows that are a product of machine le

It’s very strange that people want to conflate genitalia and you know…like pronouns? There’s actually lots of good reasons, including proper hygiene, helping children understand consent, privacy, boundaries. But you’ve made a choice in how

And the reaction is telling… the vagueness and the double meaning is the point not an accidental side effect

Do you have any actual evidence for this claim?

It sounds like FAANG has reinvented tenure and promotion processes from academia…and the resulting inherent pressures. A moment to reflect on Han’s critique of publish or perish academia?

>I wouldn't say that coders as an industry are destroying the road behind us What worries me more than it happening is how many seem to either be blind or proud that they are.

two notes: 1) I would argue that most questions we are asking students in technical courses shouldn't have right and wrong answers...it communicates the wrong thing and reinforces the assumption that technical work is 'getting the

background: I have tried ungrading in engineering courses, it freaks students out and tends to trigger process inappropriate optimization behaviors as opposed to learning orientation shifts...I've had better luck with a middle ground.

this is a perfect example of why governmental services are so important - even if they are often run poorly. Without them, dis-equities inherently perpetuate due to external incentives. The SAT is treated as a standardized test but it, as y
