Some anti-smoking drugs are actually just antidepressants sold under a different brand name. It’s literally exactly the same drug with a different name stamped on the pills, but it’s easier to get people to take the drug if they think it’s

This smells way off. Solid companies don’t fold and close up shop overnight because one acquisition deal falls though. Sounds like company leadership trying to take attention away from their own mismanagement.

Groupon did something similar. It’s silly and anyone with two brain cells firing sees right though the BS. Also they want to claim their drivers are not employees but then want to count the full fare as “revenue.” Sigh.

There are still plenty of H1Bs in tech in the US. It is true though that applications from India are very hard now, but that’s mostly because there was a lot of fraud and corruption in that space with Indian outsourcing firms up to no good.

There will be many more. The India IT sector’s main play was cheap labor for low value-add IT tasks like basic dev or ops. The play a while back was to move day-to-day ops jobs to this cheap labor. Now the play is to automate this work so t

It’s actually the airlines dragging their feet on a lot of this, not “30 year old ATC.” Many airlines don’t upgrade their planes to have the latest equipment. Flew in a small personal plane with a friend that’s a pilot and he was explaining

Um, there’s 5 787s flying around for every A350. On the future book Boeing also has around 50% more 787 orders than Airbus has A350. So yeah, I’d call that being a bit behind in that market segment.

I’ve flown just about every commercial model of airplane made in the last 30 years including Emirates A380 biz class. While that was undoubtedly an amazing trip, it had a lot more to do with the airline than the airplane. My enthusiasm for

Boeing played the market correctly here. When everyone was oohing over the A380 Boeing said super jumbos were on their way out and focused on the 787. If it hadn’t been for Emirates buying so many A380s to begin with it would have been a fl

Yes, and it’s not just for these sites but ATC too... although that’s been true of all aviation coms and nav technologies. Someone with some radio gear and a basic understanding of how these systems work could mess things up big time. That’

A lot of that debt is funding bloated administrative costs and other overhead that doesn’t directly make for a “better” education, just a “more expensive” education. Fixing this problem starts with getting costs at universities under contro

The challenge for offerings like MixPanel is that the market on other scalable as-a-Service offerings (streaming data, big query, et al) has gotten to the point where it’s far more trival for companies to just roll their own. Trying to buil

People need to separate the product from the company. The product may be great, hot with the kids, whatever but at the end of the day Snap is a business. Snap the company is in terrible shape and poorly run. Their last financials were, in a

No, you can use cloudwatch anywhere you can install the AWS CLI—-including non AWS assets. Just point the log monitor at a file or folder with the right CLI commands and you can suck up logs in real time into cloudwatch.

Startups and such typically don’t want young people because their smarter, it’s because their more gullible career wise. Sure some people get a bit stale with age but some also get far far smarter and their experience can be very valuable.

The AMEX lounges are fantastic--way better than most lounges--but they are getting too full. If day passes are part of that problem then this is a good change.

All very good advice. The bit about calmly but methodically collecting a paper trail and then reading it back to them is excellent advice for any out of control bureaucracy. Such entities can handle angry irate people all day long, but a ca

This is an impressive team effort by Delta--and a great demonstration of the teamwork required between those in the air and on the ground to pull something like this off.

It's not clear they have a long term sustainable business model. They clearly have a problem with the cost of customer acquisition running up against the lifetime value of a customer. If they can't fix that then the model is dead.
