Other companies seem just as bad. I bought tickets through AXS (no choice), and the $30 "general admission" (standing) tickets to a semi-popular rocker went from $30 to $60. Fees were literally the same price as the ticket. Insa

How do they know I'm not "cheaper"? That conversation doesn't happen straight up, nor did I volunteer salary expectations in the application, nor was I outside of the advertised range. All I mean is, the application proc

To me, his smile is more like The Joker, Batman 1989, when Jack puts on flesh colored makeup but has that smile as he's talking into the TV camera. Creeps me out every time I see Newsom smile because I believe he is truly a literal psy

It's not about "ownership", it's about parents having a right to raise their children how they see best. No one argues against parents naming their baby (well, some on the insane far-left do, going as far as to call gend

It assumes that what is in the best interest of the child is to affirm their feelings of gender dysphoria with a name change, and that the court can consider this and grant a name change over the parent's objections. Why am I against t

Gov. Newsom, as of late, has found his veto pen and hasn't stopped using it. He vetoed one insane law which would have taken parental rights away (AB 957 would have updated California law to clarify that, for the purposes of child cust

Free feedback: I applied a few weeks back to a position, and was rejected. In the application form you ask for someone to write why they want to work at Figma. Maybe a fair question, although I think it's something saved for a f2f in

I was assuming go-to-market was the main pain point here. I've never even heard of Helm, and now that I read up on it I want one :-( Did the design and software get released as the company shut down, or is there a hope of resurrecting

Can we all stop hating on github already? I assume most people don't even pay for it with their public and private non-work repos. Github has been a major supporter of OpenSource projects and while their uptime could use some help, eve

I am going to place a bet now if anyone wants to take me up on it. $100 says Amazon will snap them up. With the cloud expenses minimized, and Amazon's own expertise with logistics, it would be a good market for them.

You need to dig into the bonds and understand what happened here. It wasn't 2%, it was about liquidity of those assets when the interest rates rose.

I get what you're saying, but also I'm going to call BS on whatever liquidity testing banks need to do currently to satisfy the Fed. They're obviously not required to cover changing risks. I think what's happening now is

As far as I understood it, the 10% which paid off made SVB into the type of bank it is today. They obviously made a bad move in 2020-21 in thinking the public market was going to crash and what would happen to bond yields, but so did lots o
