Bad take. There are plenty of dumb reasons people are wanted back at the office but the most predominant one is probably that it just "feels like" it will make your company better. I'd think people would be happy that at leas

The article I read in WSJ last night said otherwise. It said that the lawmaker who introduced the bill wanted to modify it to include that language but it was too late in the process to do so. The lawmaker believed having the language would

Couldn't you say that about the salary of any employee working on a long term project? I think the problem is having essentially a tax on software development could discourage some investment in that area especially from the smaller co

The voice recognition is bottom of the barrel. It makes Siri seem incredible. I've more or less given up on being able to reply to a text or make a call by voice command.

Historically I think they all did around the Christmas rush but probably not so much any more.

It probably was the later. It seems probable he was attempting to exit using the backdoor because he was unable to operate the front due to it's loss of function. Horrifying situation to visualize if that is indeed what happened.

You could be right. I was relying on some the other less formal language like: > companies engaged in research and development (R&D) activities should be implementing this significant change I think it might require backing up into t

According to Journal Of Accountancy[0] this seems to only apply to software expenses that are also treated as R&D expenses. So if you expense the costs and don't claim R&D credit you lose the credit but would also not have the

The trend of companies taking huge late stage rounds was always going to blow up the public tech IPO market. Many companies get too used to free money and operating with little inspection. By the time they feel like they "have to go pu

That isn't really something a publicly traded company can do without putting even more pressure on it's share price. Mark's also still very young, if he wanted to ride off into the sunset he could have done that a long time a

A typical artist deal with a promoter would include an 85% (artist) / 15% split of profit after a pre-negotiated split point which covers the costs of producing & marketing a show for the promoter. I've never seen a full LiveN

This seems like a fun project to work on but what is the financial game here? Does he invest in building the network, operate at a loss and then sell to someone like Comcast? I assume building a remote fiber network that can reach 600 house

I've been in and out of crypto since 2014 or so but I've never been more bearish than 2021. When the majority of my Twitter feed became visionaries predicting web3 it all seemed destined for pain. There are billions of reasons to

Couldn't agree more on this, my company is there now. One difficult problem to solve is hiring. This is due to a number of things but one big one is a lack of external validation. When you raise from a known VC you're gaining a st
