San Mateo and Redwood City are both expensive, but not as bad as SF. One article reported median rents were about 2.4k, which makes sense. There a few places advertising lower rents, but not many, and at that price you are giving stuff up.

Facebook does have a moral responsibility for what they spread though. FB encourages clickbait and puts people in their own walled garden based on what they want to see.

Comma ai's OpenPilot makes freeway driving really nice. I've gone miles without touching pedals or the wheel, it's definitely better than stock. Though I haven't tried AP on Tesla, and OpenPilot is basically just a reall

I am more comfortable with a company talking about how agile they are if the teams are able change processes when and how they want to.
305.
by chris11 7y ago
But using agile does change how developers communicate progress to management. So agile processes can definitely indirectly impact how your productivity is perceived and measured.

I had also thought that they had set up some leases through their own legal structures so they could limit some of WeWork's financial liability from the lease.

Aren't there major privacy concerns? It's so easy for an advertiser to get personal data from ad recipients that I'd expect private info could be inferred by the office just giving out patient's email addresses.

TeamCity actually lets you set job configurations with kotlin in source control. The config is actually a kotlin dsl, so not only can you import settings, you can also have TeamCity generate projects, jobs, and settings from your code.

The Taycan looks really cool, but it starts at 150k. And Tesla has autopilot. Tesla Model S is a fast car, but's also marketed to buyers who probably would not want to pay 150k+ for a Porsche.

I think Amazon's standard offer includes a large signing bonus over two years to compensate for the abnormal vesting schedule.

I'm not sure that WeWork has a strong business model. WeWork is absorbing the financial liability of signing long-term leases, and not passing that risk onto their customers. So financial discipline is critical to their business plan.

The Cultural Revolution was highly anti intellectual. Academics and artists were imprisoned, or even killed. In 1956 Mao did start the Hundred Flowers Campaign, which encouraged criticizing the government. But that was followed in 1957 by a

I'd say a major quality problem in cheap watches is water resistance. Before I knew much about diving, I tried snorkeling with a couple really cheap watches. They both died. There are some good cheap dive watches, like the Casio MDV106

That's a good point. I guess that just comes along with trying to design an entire car yourself. I was thinking more about the normal major repair points for the car, like the powertrain. But I guess all the smaller repairs needed on a

I've heard Tesla advertising themselves as a simpler car, by comparing the number of moving parts between a Tesla and an ICE car. That should've made part shortages less likely.

That was worded a little badly. The size of the company, and the size of the tax return should impact the chance of an audit. Intentionally lying on your tax return and saving 5% is a lot different with 100 million than with 10,000. The IRS

I think that a lack of regulation can make markets less free. Natural monopolies exist, and Peter Thiel talks about how startups need to create a monopoly. Consumer choice in broadband providers is a great example of this.

Elizabeth Warren is also targeting telecom. She wants net neutrality, to overturn state laws targeting local governmental plans to build broadband networks, and a public option for broadband. Her stated policy proposal technically doesn&#x2

And I'd imagine that auditing high net-worth individuals and large companies takes a lot more people than smaller businesses. Larger companies will be able spend more on expensive legal advice fighting audits, and it will make business

My thought is that there's a correlation between attention and a viewer's willingness to spend money that can be seen without directly looking at revenue. For instance, letting a music playlist run would look a lot different than

I'd see if you have any office supply liquidators in the area. It'll definitely depend on your location, but a good one will have a decent selection of high-quality chairs.

Doordash lets people place their own orders when placing a group order from a restaurant. You still have to deal with getting people to place their orders though. But I wouldn't want to optimize to much further, as an employee choosing

That's how Neil Gaiman writes, he gets bored. He gets most of his ideas from boredom. And when he needs to write, he sits down and lets himself only do two things. Write, or look out the window.

I don't like clauses like this and forced arbitration clauses. But if you're selling a large software company you should be sophisticated enough to understand the contract, and not use a free term sheet without getting it reviewed
