I suspect based on the tone of your comment that you already know the reason why.

I don't know about you, but when I have sex, it typically doesn't involve lying to my board, or embezzling funds.

Again, it's not really about the relationship. It's about misusing company funds for it, not to mention lying to HR and the board about it. The tone of the comments on this thread so far is basically: if I can’t lie, embezzle, bre

I view his leaving of SoFi to be more about his evasiveness and misrepresentations to HR and to the board. Hard to be an effective leader if you've lost that credibility.

Can't say that I love that the article clearly takes a "Can you believe this bullshit?" tone, but it's hard to conclude anything other than that the investors here really don't care. In their view, their goal is to

That money is spent though. There's nothing to return. He's going to have his wages garnished, hard, until he dies. I don't think it's a slap on the wrist by any means. (And to be clear, I'm not being sympathetic wh

Pittsburgh is a super interesting city from a transportation logistics and efficiency perspective. It's got an extremely difficult topography mixed with a rather obstinate electorate that has routinely de-prioritized mass transit. This

Count me as yet another person who would likely not be here, commenting on HN, without discovering BBSes and falling in love with the merging of hacking, designing, and community. I ran a heavily, heavily modded Renegade board in 412/7

This one is hard for me, as there is likely no way I’d have gotten into CMU if I didn’t schedule an interview, basically say it was my dream school, and apply early - all of which is clear and demonstratable interest. I wasn’t rich; I simpl

Can't disagree with that. I sort of feel like there's a middle ground between the two, but if I had to pick one, this is the correct solution.

I despise getting involved in threads like this, because they always descend into whataboutism ("Oh, but alcohol is worse!, etc.), but here we go with my anecdotal evidence. Me, personally, not a huge fan. I dabbled and experimented li

This is a great idea. I've thought a lot about starting a similar business, but wouldn't have the sales chops to do that aspect of it/hire a team skilled in it. I have absolutely no issues with supporting quality media; the d

All joking aside, CMU does very much have a problem with promoting and fetishizing a culture of stress. I only have anecdotal evidence of this, but more so than just about anywhere else, CMU as a university prides itself on a very difficult

I made the mistake my sophomore year at CMU of enrolling in a graduate-level economics class called "Game Theory" because I got my course prefixes incorrect, and assumed it was a CS class about video games. I am now much more vers

Sorry; Chief Product Officer.

In my case, I have the product management and UX groups reporting to me. CTO is responsible for engineering, and as you could guess, the CTO and I are joined at the hip relative to keeping a good pace of delivery.

CPO for 400+ person, post Series-D private company. Salary and bonus, about $350k. Maybe $400k or slightly higher if I'm counting options. Report to the CEO. I live in Brooklyn, office is in Manhattan. Got here by my current company ac

More than anything else, this article tells how smart the Rockets are and how dumb the Pacers are. Also, FWIW, Sportradar tracks location with an iPad application that they either use in-arena via a trained scorer or inside of their HQ in M

The OCS Amigas were amazing, way-ahead-of-their-era machines. I can't tell you how many times, in need of inspiration or just to be amazed for five minutes, I'd load up a demo from Sanity or Phenomena and just let it all sink in -

I too was in a fraternity and literally nothing you describe resembles anything like anyone I've ever known in one has done, or would be bored or frankly, creepy enough to do.

Yes. Without billions of subsidies from VCs, both companies are long gone. I'll leave it up to you to conclude whether or not trading $0.60 for a $1 can last forever.

Was it because Steve Jobs tried to discredit a rape victim to protect his company's image and his personal holdings? I must have missed that part when I saw "Jobs" in the theater.

This is a fair point and I'm glad you brought it up. I'm using it as a proxy to refer to the general work ethic needed to get a company off the ground - which I've rarely seen in any WeWork office - but your point stands.

I agree! But that doesn't make it factually untrue that WeWork disingenuously leverages those dreams to feed its growth. There's a reason why Simon Cowell was as compelling as he was: he was the only one who was actually honest wi
