I would point you to Netflix, a large company with a decent culture. They didn't ask every employee for input (AFAIK). They hired one person and gave her the time and resources and access to upper management and tasked her with coming

Culture is important. Having 12K employees all give an input is counter productive. I believe that's what he was referring to as naive. Companies with great culture didn't have every single employee in a grand summit providing cul

Can't imagine this was due to a hack of their systems. Seems more like an (ex)employee took a data dump and released it. Or it could be spear fishing.

Maybe because people subconsciously equate the % rise in wage to % rise in out of pocket expense e.g. if wages increase $4/hour (50% increase) that means the cost to buy that shirt will increase by 50%

This goes both ways. I get emails, LinkedIn messages from recruiters and I could tell which recruiters mass emailed to candidates and used a generic template. They are probably just playing the numbers game. Since they didn't care enou

You're absolutely right. Its what the businesses are using. What's your Whatsapp number? Very interesting indeed.

Here's some anecdotal evidence of how many businesses in India are using Whatsapp as a business chat app. 1)As a notification system. Went to a tailor to get some shirts stitched. He took my Whatsapp number so he could notify when I co

"Among the stocks she has never downgraded are Priceline, Amazon, Yahoo, and FreeMarkets--all of which have declined between 85% and 97% from their peak." Maybe she knew what she was doing?

He paid for the 4 bedroom house in cash, paid for the aircraft, didn't have a job for some time so house expenses. I'm guessing he bought cars, etc. Every move he made probably came with expenses. Since he had to purchase houses i

That's what makes his claim that he was pressured to do this by some gang, seem dubious. More probable is the idea that he was the one who kept the full 1.6 million.

I wanted to walk you through my thought process regarding the right side buttons if you'll indulge me: 1. I clicked the edit button on the right to get in to edit mode. Edit button was highlighted in pink. 2. Saw the buttons on the bot

Looks pretty good and I didn't see performance issues. From a usability perspective it's simple to use. I would suggest a couple of usability improvements. 1. The right side buttons for edit, layout, etc. have tooltips (that'

There will still be a barrier to owning a Tesla due to the upfront cost of buying one. The fact that it'll be able to pay itself off over time is immaterial to the affordability of at time of purchase.

I do think in a language but that changes based on situations too. For abstract thoughts I think in English, for planning thoughts I think in another language, etc. It is not a conscious choice, my brain somehow picks a language for thought

This explains to some extent why investors might have given the company that valuation of 9 billion. If the company faked demos and portrayed results obtained on non Theranos tech as Theranos tech results, most investors can't be blame
