   I think the title is incorrect (someone else noted too!). It should be "Binance sends non-binding Letter of Intent [to buy] to FTX." Less sexy, more accurate. Also, extremely likely they are trying to consolidate power and they or

   As other people said, usually a lot of assets are illiquid in 24 hours. You can say I have money to buy this house, but if I ask you for the money the next 24 hours, most people will say they need more time to liquidate. It is actually irre

   Best move in (2) cases, I have been thinking, is to move them aside: have them do exploratory work and perhaps not have people under them.

   They are not punished if they don't -- this is the right question. Except if they are a major-ish stock holder which is usually not the case (for publicly traded).

   It's not like he took over a hard job. Twitter had a loss but had been profitable before. Twitter has a huge following/user-base worldwide. The hard part of creating the brand has happened. He just needs not to break it, trim so

   Agreed 100%. And the fact that in a democracy we are ok to becoming an idiocracy for our temporary comfort indicates we are already an idiocracy perhaps -- hopefully untrue and just a joking statement.

   So the state wants to decide what is truth and what is not... What should be shared and what should not? I wonder how that can go badly? Maybe this one time in history we will make that notion work... I would say the above statement is sarc

    You lead people; you manage resources. Managers might be a good idea for a factory line; might. Managers job is again not to direct and guide people but keep the boat floating and the milking going. The mentoring etc is kindness and an extr

    I think an article trending earlier yesterday is a big point to strengthen this. Forgetting the Asbestos – how we lose knowledge and technologies [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33320294 ] Especially in startups losing

    I disagree related to the SF Bay Area and the Tech world specifically. It is usually written in the wall who is going to leave if things do not change. Now you could say the upper management can't read the wall, and the middle manageme

    I don't think the site suggests serious businesses would do that. P.S. Yet it is not like "serious businesses" do not partake in fraud: Enron, cough cough some/most banks(creating of unauthorized accounts, mortgage f

    This is so sad in so many ways. I had to research the topic and this was the first case popping up. Thank you, and... I am still really sad...

    You'd be surprised. a) Drug recognition experts -- commented that on a sibling comment too -- identifying drug usage vs e.g. trauma by sight. b) blood alcohol levels imply alcohol consumption -- you could actually be walking around wit

    Oh That was a thing? Was/is there any actual expert involved ever in these claims? I am more worried about all the claims that one field expert can look at someone and tell if they are drunk, using specific substances or had a head tra

    I mean you have issues with convincing the U.S. government to provide pre-filled easy-taxes for W-2(+401k contribution) employees. I would say that you would find even more pressure in other countries.

    At what point was it alluded that the Jones Act was to make things cheaper? This is the first I hear of this. (I am actually asking, not rhetorical.)

    Thanks for the input! I have only second and third hand input from the 787 program so didn't want to imply anything there. I hope Boeing fixes that managerial issues leading to what you describe as I am a fan of its historical product

    I think this runs back on "Innovator's Dilemma"[1] and "... they didn't think if they should build it." I say it is also a failure of scaling and power struggle. Because you have to have a VP for engineering an

    I am going to go the extra mile to make sure my kids don't watch ads as much as is humanly possible. I concur. Every time I check reality without an ad blocker I get sad.

    Not true unfortunately, as youtube, tv series and movies have shown, there is product placement that is huge/at least substantial. Do you wanna know if a character is not the killer/bad guy? He is not using an iPhone.

    I would say that that statement of Reinberger is a "sensualized" one. (Also saying "the Greeks think/thought Y" is like saying "the whole U.S. over 200 years was thinking Y" times 30+.) To add to your comm

    Can't say everyone or even most world wide are doing a great job necessarily. So I wouldn't take it too hard on oneself. But there must be improvement on the topic. The problem in the U.S. I would say is that lack of knowledge of

    We are (on average/intrinsically) terrible at predicting or even guessing how certain things will behave. A lot of times when you learn something like say skiing or diving, a major part of training is to untrain your brain from guessin
