i wouldn't read too much into it. KPMG won brownie points in my book when they refused to sign off on dodgy accounts in the 1MDB scandal. They fired them and got Deloitte to do the dirty work instead.

it's a shame that a lot of international agencies used to look to the FAA first as a benchmark for policies. But they really dropped the ball here and giving the perception of prioritizing Boeing's profit margins over consumer saf

Ok so he's complaining about his damaged book order rather than slamming Amazon's business model/etc... Could he not have used Amazon's CS to get a replacement?

GoPro was never a serious contender for the drone game as much as any other player like Sony/Olympus/Nikon/Canon etc. DJI was already making a name for themselves in the camera industry with their gimbals. they moved their st

You have a bad manager who happened to be non-technical. I've had plenty of bad technical managers too. A manager's job is not to be more technical that you, it's to manage multiple parts of a project and it's people. Of

Well Uber is logistics/CS company which a tech approach. I would think that makes it a tech company. Their stack is complicated and there are plenty of logistic giants who could've beaten them if only they were as tech focused.

Amazon investing in the LOTR world (with an established fan base) I would think it's less risky than Netflix's strategy of burning hundreds of millions on famous producers without any criteria than just to produce something good-

there's not many specialised glucose monitor for animals. it's not feasible for manufacturers to release products just for one species or test for every breed of dogs. we use continuous blood glucose monitors (made for humans) whi

there's actually a lot of evidence that cruciate surgery improves return to function, but you're right- a lot of vets unfortunately recommend surgery for the wrong reasons (unwittingly or not). Surgery only really makes a differen

As a a vet I think this author's limited experience is a bit out of date. In the veterinary industry, medical management is always influenced by costs. Just yesterday I had to deal with a blocked cat. Gold standard treatment costs thou

yea it's like asking doctors to pay for drug efficacy testing and research. he would have more luck with drug reps and big pharma as clients though with obvious conflicts of interests.

your comment makes sense from a layman's perspective of logic and economics. but in the industry you'll find most doctors actually do not want to see patients for revisits and would rather a pill or injection solve the problem in

the James Herriot series is a good, light-hearted (if not outdated) intro to the veterinary industry.

he specifically mentioned one thing and you drew your conclusion about the others. i could say the sky is blue. that's one conclusion. you're saying in addition to that statement you can conclude that everything else is not blue.

YC is great but it's a bit of a hyperbole saying they're driving for "good for the world" and giving chances to the minority/contrarians that wouldn't otherwise get funding. It would be good to see stats on pro

reasonable if it's a systemic failure, but the company did notify the US Navy when it found out (though deflected the actual cause). sounds more like a rogue employee. disproportionately severe penalties will have the opposite effect i
