I wonder if it's the platitude doing that, or the explicit affirmation that _most_ of it looks good, but just XYZ needs tweaking. That intention is explicit in the first message, and potentially implied but unclear in the second.

I don't necessarily disagree. The comment was intended to avoid a flame war of someone arguing about his recent (personal) antics, not company performance. I updated the parenthetical to reflect this.

I'll share a different perspective to this whole founder mode debate: my instinct is that "founder mode" is a useless phrase and founders can be equal parts helpful or detrimental. The leaders who we would generally uphold as

There are plenty of industries in which purely being greedy is much easier than it is in healthcare. Greed alone does not explain the depth of complexity involved in the US healthcare pricing system. To be clear, I’m not defending the syste

This is not really what happens. Hospitals and payers negotiate rates and contract at that rate before the service is provided. Assuming the service is not denied by the payer, the hospital knows that they'll only be reimbursed 18k fro

It's not required – to my knowledge – that specific person disclosing the information be in breach of a fiduciary duty, as one could easily overcome that by disclosing to someone who discloses it to someone else, who then trades on it.

Anyone could have been on that plane provided they bought a ticket. The fact that nobody else was is irrelevant. The information was not only knowable to those with a fiduciary or confidentiality obligation to the company.

My statement was copied from Cornell Law's definition [1]. But, yes, all of these shorthand definitions are designed for the general public's consumption, and skip over specific nuances - including the SEC's definition. The s

My explanation did not implicate the cases you described above, because it explicitly said "only available to those with a fiduciary responsibility or confidentiality obligation to the company" Regardless of the level of fidelity,

It does seem quite odd to say "it doesn't matter one whit whether the information was material or public" when insider trading is defined as: the trading of a company’s securities by individuals with access to confidential or

Slightly clarified my comment via a parenthetical. "Non-public" in this context refers to information which would only be available to those with a fiduciary responsibility and/or a confidentiality obligation to the organizat

"Public" doesn't mean the company has publicly announced it - just that the information is available to the public. The situation you're describing is very similar to the Boeing situation above. You just happen to be the

Important clarification: you do not need to have confidentiality obligations with respect to the information or a fiduciary relationship, it need only be information that is material and non-public information that belongs to the company (i

We did this at a previous startup and it had nothing to do with smoking guns. We were in healthcare and, although we had a strict policy against posting any PHI in slack, we still purged history in the off chance that it did end up somewher

Yeah I understood that part. My argument is that Facebook would likely lose a lot of users if they forced all users to download Facebook via their App Store. There is still an incentive for them to use Apple’s. But beside that point, Facebo

Unless this user has never used a device running something other than iOS, they've already dealt with this. But this concern requires a few things to be true: - An alternative app store is created that does not employ any form of restr

One complication of this is that sales taxes can apply down to the city level, meaning the amount the vendor collects after tax can be somewhat variable. This would make a lot of sense if we had a federal sales tax that was just distributed

Beyond the fact that mangers don't care, there are many, many businesses with zero commercial real estate holdings outside of a fairly short term lease (which is a sunk cost regardless) who also promote RTO. The argument that all these

I very much agree with your response, the implication of the two party system, and the notion of the wedge issue and its inability to be solved. What makes this more painful now is seemingly every issue being discussed is now a wedge issue

I might argue that the real problem we're facing is we continue to perpetuate the idea that the totality of issues facing a nation of 330 million people can be lumped into "republican" or "democrat" and this binary

I said nothing of tests, I said “end user.” And many studies show that, in fact, your end users may not wait 120 seconds at all.

I think in this scenario, different people will have a different perspective on whether asking people to "wait longer" constitutes flakiness or not. From an end-user's perspective, there's very little difference between

The part I was suggesting does not apply is the statement "Focus on getting the critical path right and creating a good experience, and then get it to customers for feedback on where to go next." Most software engineering is about

I think we're saying the same thing? That was my point. You're never going to achieve zero bugs no matter how much time you give yourself. Focus on getting the critical path right and creating a good experience, and then get it to

An infinite amount of time would not necessarily yield zero bugs. But more importantly, once you've fixed the "show-stopping bugs," putting the software in front of customers is probably the best next step, as even if it&#x27

I'd say they all "got it wrong" insofar as it's clear they don't seem to grasp the idea that the two things are the same, but are instead providing a response _as if_ one were comparing feathers to some other materi

Yeah so this is why I said "no way for the typical consumer to have a product experience like this" because what you're saying is true, but not something an individual can rely on. Typical consumers have no way of ensuring th

I'm quite confident my parents and the many people like them in the world would not find running VPN/Tailscale/ZeroTier to be "easy." Nor would they have any idea how to troubleshoot when those services have issues.
