Hmm so you just lost 100% of your business because of your unwillingness to negotiate over 5%. Really clever indeed. Have you ever considered the fact that they see you as replaceable (why else the 1 day deadline?).

I didn't know that Dustin Curtis was the first one that started it but every time I come across it, it slightly invalidates the authenticity of the post itself. It's like saying, "If you liked this post you should buy our product". It make

The author is assuming that stock performance is inherently linked to internal company metrics, which is simply a naive assumption. P/E ratio is not the holy grail of valuating companies, there are countless other stocks other than GOOG who

One thing I've noticed while reading the article is that my banner blindness is so strong, that I even had to force myself to look at the image full of ads being discussed in the article. I guess the author has a point.

I would strongly suggest to change the seat of arbitration to either New York or London if you want to convince companies to trust this service. Both places are preferred by companies worldwide to settle international disputes.

$18.4 billion dollars is a LOT of cash (to compare, Google raised $2.7 bn with their IPO). They can buy 18 SpaceX's, 2.3 Twitters or, you know, 18 more Instagrams. Their future is minted.

The reason why Turkish is in the same group as Japanese is probably because of the subject-object-verb [1] order they have in common (vs SVO in English). This is why even spoken Japanese is difficult to master for English speaking people. [
