A trademark is scoped to a specific industry / application. Starlink for internet is unlikely to be confused with STARLINK for Subaru car safety systems. (Perhaps the all caps also helps if they were sued) Trademark applications are sc

I’ve noticed this in article summaries. It does seem to have some weird biases. I’ve been able to get around that by directly asking it for pros/cons or “what are the downsides” or “identify any inconsistencies” or “where are the main

FWIW: CSC is a company that other companies hire to act on its behalf. It's very likely that the company you work for uses CSC as it's registered agent in the State of Delaware for administrative purposes (CSC doesn't really

Appreciate the clarification. That makes perfect sense. I work at a B2B SaaS company that sells $50k contracts, and we don’t offer monthly billing and we’ve done quarterly billing maybe once (for a premium). I could imagine the way you’re t

If you're optimizing for job security of a country's workforce, absolutely. If you're optimizing for economic growth, telling companies to freeze hiring when wages increase is going to result in slower growth.

Unfortunately the only obvious solution I can think of is to have salaries that can go up and down like the stock market, so that employees are always paid market rates. But of course that won’t fly at any company. Every employee expects an

What boggles my mind is: what happens to Nividia’s 3T market cap if GPU costs come down by 10x or 100x? Will there be 10x or 100x increase in unit sales volume needed to offset the price decrease while maintaining their 3T market cap? I re
