If these execs with fancy credentials make investors trust the company more, and then the investors give the company an eleven-figure valuation, it’s not hard to argue the execs contributed 1% of the share price. It’s a better deal than the

It’s odd to see security issues at a company revealed by a whistleblower instead of a breach. Usually I’d expect if an insider working in security notices problems, that’s good for their career because it’s their job to find and fix that st

Isn’t it neat how if you Google something and share the link you find, you end up directing people to Google’s AMP service!

> Coal power plants close because there are cheaper ways to make electricity now, not because demand dropped. The price for power is set by supply and demand. Increased demand for power increases the price. This means that coal plants ca

I feel one interesting effect of this ruling is that it creates a strong incentive for parties in a credit dispute to plant or corrupt employees in banks that are involved. The people who process these payments almost have a lot of power
