   SF isn’t so great anymore. It’s like New York, but with more junkies and no cheaper boroughs. It has more drug addicts than people enrolled in public high schools. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2019

   In general larger players can better spread (amortize) fixed costs to enjoy economies of scale.

   Awesome comment from the FAQ: Which version pays you the most? First of all, thank you for caring about this! Since I self-published, I set the prices so that the royalties are about the same for each format. (I also get the lion’s share of

   Pay more if you go over. No discount for under.

    If people game Yelp and Google reviews, why not Glassdoor? I’ve seen companies go from 3 to 4.5 after a concerted push. The truth comes out though. The pie in the sky reviews just aren’t believable.

    Do they stay after 2 years? They seem to be in the auditing and shareback business. Probably the right way to return cash to shareholders but not a high growth tech company. (And if the accusations are true, not an ethical one either, th

    The lay-off is small in context. It’s less than a quarter of their prior year headcount growth, and much lower than what Detroit Auto has experienced. Auto companies routinely let broad swaths of employees go. Big doesn’t mean safe. It s

    This type of self dealing rarely ends well for the company in question. How can the CEO be trusted to do right by the company?
