We can expect an increase in the cost of inputs for essential consumer goods to be passed on to the customers in the form of higher prices for those products. Dairies, meat processors, and supermarkets are not going to just sit there and ta

Why would the judge do that? It's up to the jury to determine - to the best of their ability - whether the "DPR" moniker is really a reference to the multi-headed nature of the group, or whether it's irrelevant. But eith

Either way, it's a weird thing for the acquiring CEO to boast about at an all-hands.

Biz Dev positions tend to focus on relationship management and strategic planning across multiple companies. They close deals for cross-promotion, partnership, and endorsement. What pg is talking about ("Corp Dev") is different; a

Even when you rephrase it charitably, it still sounds like the acquirer's CEO is talking trash about someone these employees have followed for years. At best, it's a "you guys are great, but your ex-boss is a terrible negotia

Has the term "CEO" lost all meaning, amid the hundreds of startup founders who have no management experience? Not at all. They're called CEOs because they make top-tier executive decisions and act as the public face of their

Agreed. I wish people gave a little more warning prior to showing pages with rapid changes in luminescence. You're talking about a really rare type of epilepsy - but frankly, it's so easy to add a non-triggering splash screen that

I've typically seen teams that look like this: Designer, Front-End (or "UI", or JS) Developer, and Back-End (or Python, or Ruby, etc.) Developer. Designer is responsible for all UX tasks that don't involve writing lots o

It bears mentioning that the "Designer" and/or "Front End Developer" in a small startup team will usually end up wearing several of these hats. Larger teams can afford the level of specialization described here, but

For the frequent WSJ reader, several hundred dollars a year makes sense. For a casual reader, it doesn't - but they still want the opportunity to convert me to a frequent reader. That's why they offer previews via search engines,

Thanks, now I can read the one-line disclosure buried in the middle of the article: "News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal, is a customer."

OP here. Two things happened today. Slack adopted new terms of service with a binding arbitration clause, which they linked from this press release. They also announced a new feature, Compliance Export - which allows team owners to inspect

The changes to the Terms of Service (linked from the blog post) include a new binding arbitration clause.

You, apetresc, and I are all unusual users - we're thinking about this in terms of network connections. Our first instinct is to figure out which parties in the chain could have stored a copy of the message. The typical user will proba

by etjossem 12y ago
To be fair, the features in question are called "private groups" and "direct messages." There's bound to be some expectation that they are private and/or one-to-one.

Having moved from Des Moines to San Francisco, I can say with confidence that Iowa has its upsides. A flourishing community of startup founders, hilariously low rents (my perfectly nice studio ran for < $500/mo.), a culture of hones

The analogy of the coin-flipping game has one crucial flaw: in the securities trading world, the coin-flips are not independent. At any point, a participant may decide not to flip a coin, and instead make the result of someone else's

Take a look at what you wrote. You're not attempting to explain a difference in the standard deviation of male and female test scores - backed by data - in an exercise of positive scholarship. Putting aside the hilariously sexist concl
