Interesting. I had a hunch that this was what they were up to since it wasn't a market based repricing. You spell it out much more clearly. The company would die if there was a protracted investor suit. Many companies can't su

This. ^^^^ Oracle lives and dies from aggressive salespeople promising the world to large customers with long term contracts. The buyers get their needs met, and Oracle forces the developers (eventually) to build whatever was promised. T

Tragic. Good that they own it, though I'm not thrilled with this: It is important to note that Tesla disables Autopilot by default and requires explicit acknowledgement that the system is new technology and still in a public beta pha

I like how he closes. That there are important roles for non-founders who jump in after seeing that an idea is a good thing. On one hand, I guess it could be seen as a lack of confidence to not do your own thing. But on the other hand, it

It's all about sleeping late then. You can't cut many corners on this. I'm the opposite: I get my best work done early (4 or 5) in the morning before anyone gets up. The only way for me to get a good night of sleep is to go

For their California employees who wish to stay in California, the non-compete doesn't matter much. They are virtually unenforceable here.

One challenge is the most earnest writers usually make the most boring stories. This is also why the imperfect narrator is used so often in great literature.

Fair point. I guess by smart I'm thinking "least work for best grades" but that's a very loose definition. Also - it's a very small sample size. And if I look more broadly... 2 of the seemingly "dumbest joc

There is a strange dichotomy here... I do believe that exercise helps thinking, but when I was growing up, very few of the smarter people were involved in sports, either formally or informally. Perhaps 1 in 20 was on a team, and few were

It sounds like this is aimed more at companies than anything else. The UK can now offer tax deals that other countries can't. What's strange is this happens between states in the US. Part of it is differences in state tax rates,
