IANAL but I see two issues here. First, you still have to show that he had the duty to act, which is quite problematic given that there was no relationship between the parties beyond an open source license which expressly disclaims any lia

So there is both a theoretical and an empirical relationship between real estate prices and interest rates but they have nothing to do with mortgages per se - you will find that this roughly holds true even in countries where mortgages aren

The relationship between student loans and tuition prices has always been the other way around - schools are more expensive so people take out larger loans. Government subsidies for student loans are comically low compared to actual tuitio

I think you're confusing Google's ad-tech platform (DFP and such) with Google's actual primary business as a publisher. Google's ad-tech business competes with other ad-tech platforms and provides services for other pub

I think people are, if anything, underestimating how good this is for the tech scene in NYC and for New York in general, at least from a fiscal perspective. LIC is increasingly well-developed but mostly as a residential area. It's not

Pretty much this and fintech isn't this one thing that pays well but ranges from highly paid domain experts to generalists working on maintaining legacy systems. most generalists are not usually paid that well by SV big tech standards

The way GDPR hurt smaller companies wasn't so much that the regulation directly applied to smaller companies but that larger companies, due to the liability the regulation presented, no longer felt comfortable working with smaller vend

This particular article from Bloomberg loads (for me this time, it likely varies from one pageload to another) javascript files from these (and more, I stopped after reaching m, alphabetically) domains, many of whom are likely tracking user

I'm surprised no one mentioned this but the biggest takeaway for me is that it moves Windows one step closer to becoming open source. We're still many steps away and it's going to be more like the hybrid model of Android or

I don't work at Facebook but I don't know if there are any major companies (tech or non-tech) that are significantly better about this? Nearly all Fortune 500 with any significant digital operations are tracking everything they c

The key is to be open and transparent about what you did. One major reason that companies are rationally worried about resume gaps is that gaps could mean anything - for all they know you were running a criminal enterprise or locked up in

I'm somewhat surprised by the amount of criticism levied at Facebook here. Consider the following: 1) Both Android and iOS allow apps to access your contacts, which in aggregate is more or less the same kind of social graph that Faceb

Almost everything under "real cultural differences" seems to describe culture as it exists in corporate America as well. Edit: even some of the other stuff seems to be more about tech vs non-tech, as opposed to Japan vs US.

You misread - I was saying "software companies that aren't in SV and aren't run like SV tech companies are closer to non-tech companies, both in terms of (sensitivity towards minorities) and (political orientation of their pe

It's hard to generalize but I don't think it's true for the kinds of things Valerie Aurora cares about. My experience is that those competitive SV companies have the most supportive culture when it comes to marginalized mino

I'm your garden-variety liberal who works at a tech company and the description here is entirely foreign to me. I've mostly worked outside of tech and my social circle outside of work is almost entirely liberal but non-tech - the

I'm not sure if I would buy this conclusion without more data - it's quite possible that higher-IQ types are in qualitatively different roles than lower-IQ types in the same study. This would be very difficult to control for beca

For me a major disconnect here - and this is always the case with management - is that what management means differs greatly from one organization to the next. For instance, I would consider all of those: "how one interacts with produ

I think you have it the other way around: liquidity providers as a group make less money because of HFT, not more. Ordinary investors now pay less for liquidity than they used to because of HFT and the complaints are largely coming from tr

This is a bizarre article. The author seems to think that being a doctor, a lawyer, a management consultant or a dentist requires some kind of advanced interpersonal skills but this is not true at all. The primary thing that qualifies to y

Hi Joe, I think you may be misreading that clause. What they are saying is that if the works are registered, you may be able to sue for statutory damages in addition or instead of compensatory damages. This does not mean if the works are

This is a false dichotomy, because cost and talent are related - either this is about minimizing the cost of talent at a fixed level of talent, maximizing the talent at a fixed level of cost, or something in between. It's completely im
