What was the after story, if you don't mind going further? This is super interesting, I'm curious what happened with you/the company afterwards or on a longer horizon

I suppose you could look at it that way, although this case it’s the market that made the decision (s&p 500) which then trickled down to the index. You could use an index like CRSP US Total Market which didn’t have this issue. The index

For the record, I don’t want you to say anything, I’m just trying to understand where you’re coming from. No agenda with that particular choice, just the first scenario that came to mind of same crime, different sentence. I don’t understand

I’m talking number of cases (how many people relatively would commit the 2 categories of crimes), not necessarily the severity of the crime. But I am now kinda interested in flushing this out lol, Bernie Madoff and Martha Stewart both commi

There’s a big jump from committing fraud for your own benefit and committing fraud because it might mess your competitor up. I think you’d deal with a much smaller problem, and, presumably one that companies would be on the lookout for and

It’s also to support a single standard across all cable operators, which was a fantastic goal. Unfortunately yeah that DRM piece along with the CableLabs certification really strangled competition. That said I’ve run cablecard devices for y

“At Twitter, a fight erupted on an internal message board after a worker who didn’t have children at home accused another employee, who was taking a leave to care for a child, of not pulling his weight.” Well that’s pretty beyond the pale.

I went deep down the Internet rabbithole on these HOCl cleaning solution machines (I still can’t figure out if it’s bs or not), but a big component was ph testing the solution you make. Now I kinda want to pick one of these up, some simple

Was it the Pirate Bay? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thelocal.se/20070112/6076/a... I remember this but I felt like there was a floating boat nation plan too.

I’ve used pseudo-OKRs at the last few places, where there’s basically a bailout option where you just change the OKRs at the end of the year to match what happened (if you were doing well). Depends on what you mean by works/doesn’t wor

Physical Education is very much a “get out of it what you put into it” sort of thing, really like any class. And there’s going to be regional/world differences. It’s also partially there for the student athletes, in order for there to

On the former, that's absolutely a thing with all sorts of levels to it. Base level is that most companies run background checks including a credit pull. Next level is use of elite academic credentialing, i.e., "we only like to hi

I get the impression that Twitter has become a much smarter organization through really painful growing pains like this. I still wonder how I would play it if I became knowledgable. How long does this go on, do you just keep moving the pers

How many people are you registering a day normally? I’m wondering if you shut off signups for a while + handle the inevitable attack & they can’t get back in they might move on. How much money and time do you think they (or you) are wil

I had a real psychological aversion when doing this with my wife’s new car, but at a certain point why would you not extend the loan at free money rates?

If a business couldn’t exist in a world full of smart people, that’s a pretty good clue that you should just go after it now. You’ll be waiting forever on the former.

Giant in the mid-Atlantic has had this sort of experience for well over a decade I want to say? You pick up a scanner and scan your shop card, then you scan & bag your items as you shop and self-checkout at the end. Between that and gro

I always love to see the "fancy public-market securities" lingo upfront :-). I'm interested to see how this plays out, even though I'm not sure I agree, but this may be the last time to make the information density argum

The reason is in the document, simply, because while the case is ongoing the judge wants to decrease, not increase, the difficulty in calculating damages.

Just to save a lot of time and cut through a lot of BS, apparently organizational rot. If you’re on iOS give Apollo a try (I’m sure there’s an equally good android app), it’s completely possible to build a fantastic Reddit app with the exis

For me JFrog is synonymous with Artifactory -- I think that was their earliest / bread & butter product? That may just be my interaction. It's an on-premise/cloud hybrid source artifact repository. The nice thing about it

This is demonstrably untrue (from Hey.com to Netflix/Amazon and in between there’s plenty of ways to not give up 30/15% of your revenue). But even if it were true, it’s the same world that didn’t largely have computers in people’s

They’re also making a late push in a tight market without real differentiation (the exclusives like you said) so from a market standpoint it’s one of the last options. There’s legitimately no other reason to have that store installed other
