They take the "official" accounting earnings and add back in charges they either 1) don't feel represent the true financial position or 2) are one-off charges. In this case they back out stock-based compensation (like most co

This is a big business for hedge funds too, not just advertisers. Every Uber receipt, every Amazon purchase, every receipt that hits your email inbox. Aggregated and tracked at the product SKU level. That is pure gold for investment researc

In the US we've been having this "debate" and talking about the "war" since at least the late 1970s. Even that long ago it was nearly impossible in our country to garner the political will to fight climate change. O

Echoing this and an earlier thread...interviewers could have debugging exercises with an existing codebase. I have seen this ambitious approach at a few startups. Instead of asking yet another sorting algorithm or HackerRank brainteaser. Un

Good point here, that we ought to expand the scope of how we look at student performance. We're quick to blame teachers, and indeed teachers probably have as much an impact as anything else, but measuring up teachers and expecting big

As a guy who gets anxiety on planes, it's because of the claustrophobia. In a tunnel, I am moving freely. In a plane, I'm stuck inside the plane for the duration of the flight, and I can barely move given the only moving you can d

This. An audit's goal is to determine whether the accounting systems and processes at a company are reliable. This is why auditors will test and document the internal controls of a business in the summer to make sure the controls are w

Thanks for sharing. I would love if SC3K or 2K had some sort of API to allow bots to control the game. Would love to see some AI-generated hellish landscapes (to see what I have to look forward to?).

I'm throwing darts at the wall here, but I think part of the problem is our sprawl and geographic size/car culture. In the typical US city you have the wealthier suburbanites living in separate towns/counties than the city th

The CCs have the cost model worked out better than the universities, and can curb spending since they don't rely on public funds to support sports programs, sprawling administrations, large campuses, etc. It's about the courses an

Management should in some cases be its own career path instead of the default for good workers who get promoted. Good project management is a skill that we just expect out of people who get promoted. The pay scale should change so good hack

The workers decide the pay scale. As long as they're satisfied with the performance of the company then there is no need to push for greater and greater pay to the CEO. If they are not attracting talent, they raise the pay scale just a

Equal payment is definitely not the norm for co-ops worldwide. Workers realize they should be paid for their contribution. For example at Mondragón, a network of cooperatives in Spain which employs 75,000 people, workers established a schem
