What kind of lazy comment is this that doesn't include James Hedges of the Prohibition Party, Rod Silva of the Nutrition Party, and Vermin Supreme -- the voice of the people who was frankly robbed at the Libertarian Convention just sim

That's not what I'm saying, although the whole thing would feel less scandalous if Peter Thiel's name wasn't attached. Commenting on the legality of what Gawker or Hogan did is above my pay-grade. But a nine-figure judgm

Even if you believe that Gawker was guilty of something in posting the Hogan sex tapes, I have a very hard time understanding how anyone can view the annihilation of the company as justice. The other side on this case certainly wasn't

This feels like a list of complaints -- some legit, others not so much -- that don't support the very major conclusion that Apple has a "declining aptitude for the discipline of user interface design." If you're going to

That is not at all what that paragraph means. It means: Although we recommend against criminal prosecution, we're not saying that this won't warrant some kind of sanctions. But this document is discussion criminal prosecution only

These numbers don't make sense to me. You're saying an average tech company that exits has over 1000 engineers alone? Certainly a $50M company can't support 1000 engineers. Or a $100M one. (And, just for fun, if a co exited

I believe what's implicit in these arguments is the word "unilaterally." It remains illegal for a state to unilaterally secede from the Union. (North v. South, 1865) The article above implies that Mr. Marinelli is targeting C

When an employee leaves, you should also claw back all of the pay you've ever given them. I mean, they're no longer helping the company grow. That's just lost money, flying out the door.
