   I thought the job of a CEO was to increase shareholder value. Yahoo stock is up roughly 230% since she was officially signed on as CEO. Sounds like she did her job to me.

   This is really data from bootcamp grads (the top of the spreadsheet says so).

   I have a hard time believing this is true in general. I live and work in Austin. When I was interviewing for the job I have here I interviewed at a few companies in SF and received offers at two to do basically the same kind of work I do he

   I must be pretty out of the loop on things but I had no idea (though probably should have suspected) that Oracle had a competing product. Is it successful? Who uses it?

   Honestly, that sounds a little ridiculous and I wouldn't want to interview at the company you work for.

   I think the point OP is making is that you can fire 20 developers who are guilty of sexual harassment in some form but that even though they are guilty of that there should be people above them who essentially permitted their behavior and l

   It does. I use heroku dataclips to get data out of a database and import it into google sheets using importdata. It's really simple and for my use case incredibly useful.

   With that in mind how would you expect my understanding of the article to change? Serious question because all of this is news to me.

    I thought the phrase was "late stage capitalism" – implying that capitalism is a disease like cancer.

    I heard this rumor as well and believe it to be true. I don't think there has been much mention here of how Paulson & Co colluded with Goldman Sachs during that time to essentially rip off Goldman customers. There was a huge lawsui

    There's a story that Ivanka Trump told to a documentarian about how her father told her once that a homeless man they passed on the street was richer than them because of how much debt they were in. IIRC she told that story because it

    I think this is a common tactic. You can see it every year at the Sohn Conference. Notable short sellers like Jim Chanos will give pretty detailed speeches outlining the case against some market sector or company. You can be damn sure they

    > Wouldn't want to enable people to make their own decisions with their money, would we? Wow this is an ignorant thing to say in this context.

    People can have redeeming qualities and still deserve to spend a lot of time in jail. Demonstrating that you could have done more with your life, after you've been convicted for killing someone, shouldn't excuse your crime.

    Fair enough. It just seems that here people too often advocate for _never_ eating chocolate.

    I'm curious. What are the better ways?

    I'd switch to Apple Music or Google Music. Both are services I've tried that work for me.

    Electron certainly isn't unpopular with the people who use applications built with Electron.

    Speaking just for myself here... I use Spotify every day and I can guarantee that I would switch if the software experience was bad. I honestly can't think of a time the app crashed. It can switch between my mobile devices and the desk

    I think there are a lot of people who support the GOP (evidenced by the last election) but very few the GOP actually look out for.

    I think it's really disappointing that so many of the commenters here have chosen to nitpick on the author's choice of the word native and then debating whether it was a good idea for them to use Electron. How about we all try out

    I have a friend who's father is very, very wealthy. He purchases a lot of art and often actually finalizes the sales by emailing someone who works for him something to the effect of "please transfer X dollars to Y party for Z piec
