For small businesses, Zenefits and other brokers offer almost exactly the same rates, which are the list rates of the insurance companies. The negotiation only comes in to play with larger companies (currently 50+ employees, next year it w

I'm not really a big fan of ADP, but if Zenefits really did refuse to work with ADP to implement a real integration, I don't have much sympathy for Zenefits. They have enough funding they should be able to do things the right way

I think it is fair for people who make an enduring product to be compensated for that over their lifetime. I don't think your 20 year old burgers are still in demand, so no royalties are needed. If I wrote software to power a website

How about the steps noted in the post? Make sure you have a good password, use two-factor authentication, and be careful about clicking on any login links? It could also be incentive to change accounts, or change to a different communicat

The study multiplies the information density by the rate of speech, and you are correct, the Japanese rate of speech is the highest, but it did not compensate for the low information density. This is likely a result of the small number of

You should take a look at the research - there is established evidence for the impact of television on language development. The book NurtureShock gives a nice overview, but if you want to go directly to the research papers it looks like t

I am pretty sure the NFL would shut down any distribution very quickly - not sure how much of an opportunity there is if it blatantly violates someone's IP rights. What I don't understand is why the NFL wouldn't use it to generate more rev

Can you give some more detail about what your process was for determining code quality? Just getting people to get a checkout and read through it? Running static analysis tools? Examining commit histories?

Everyone is focusing on mobile patents, but what impact does this have on the lawsuit with Oracle? Didn't Motorola have a Java license? Would that protect Google?

Shouldn't someone have to show actual damages in order to sue? The California Unfair Competition Act seems to be about unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business practices - I don't immediately see how that is relevant. My guess is this is go

I think the idea is that the VP is involved in setting the goal, so if they fail to achieve it they take the responsibility for not having planned correctly. If they agree to an impossible goal, it is on them. If conditions change and they

I wouldn't say the iTunes brand is so strong - I think the iPad and iPhone brands are strong, and Apple forces you to use iTunes to use those products. I've never heard anyone say they love iTunes, either. I'm surprised Android and Microso

I would encourage you to talk to some people who you trust who have worked on a few different projects at google (especially anything not related to search or ads) and see if they think this answer is theoretical. If you don't have people t
