Poor performing companies make bad decisions. One of those decisions may be how much to pay a CEO. The causation arrow may be going the wrong direction.

Any cryptocurrency of value seems to have to fall back to undesirable bureaucratic policies or be devalued by having its own ideology turned back upon itself. The human cycles spent in monitoring and securing value will put a major drag on

Seems the SEO community might need to build a new b2b around punishing the blackhat SEO folks that attack their clients. SEO can go fight amongst itself to the death.

Definitely. If there is a municipality which, for a myriad of reasons, isn't winning the current cycle of competition for industry, definitely deregulate the crap out of it and use it as a test bed for the products designed and built b

Seriously, Apple PR via third-party technique? This is just a derivative of the previous NYT fluff piece which might as well be written by Apple.

So when Apple lets people test out a new language, and the author notes important, but not universally demanded features, the tone is "It's amazing how awesome Apple is. Can't wait to see how it works out." When MS does

Is this the final piece in the soft PR work rattling through "journalism" this week? Daring Fireball did a piece not wholly unlike this as well. The timing is a bit odd for there to be this meta discussion that is pivoting Cook an

I'm not sure I see the article and study as saying much or discovering anything new. The phenomena is obvious. The motivations, at a rational, cognitive level are also obvious though. Within a group, there is comfort, love, protection,

Since when does Foxconn not make anything for anybody else? This article reads a bit too much like PR+. A main point is trying to argue that Apple is genius at framing "conversations" to manage how their brand is emotionally consi

I've got to say that hasn't been my experience at all with online forums. Many times, I get insightful feedback or review of a post to the point where I needn't read the original. Maybe places like Reddit, etc. really bring o

Income taxes for drivers likely do not benefit the municipalities where the cars are driving. e.g. The drivers would be consuming space and wear and tear in NYC, but living in Jersey. NYC roads and services necessary to support increased co

That's not what I mean at all and this model wouldn't work outside of places, like NYC, where drivers are indy contractors. Even there, it's not clear that this would be OK with the lessors or their cab. They may not be able

Do Uber drivers pay taxes to the municipalities in which their drivers deliver service? The regulators and the regulated both get something from the status quo. Selling medallions, etc. gets the city in which the drivers do business some re

See my links. They are working all the angles, but drivers will lose if their insurance company knows they were renting their car for hire at the time of the wreck.

Let's assume that insurance companies don't care much about the environment when pricing your risk as a driver. They do care about liability. Carpooling increases liability risk. You get in a wreck with a fare or three in your lit

Your insurance carrier can likely deny claims (of all sorts) if they find out you were doing livery with a personal vehicle. They all likely ask, directly, do you use your vehicle for work? There will also be a related or subsequent questio

The common thread is coinbase creating a low-friction opportunity for merchants to accept another form of payment, but to be paid in - most likely - USD as far as they are concerned. This does nothing to disperse bitcoin into many little pl

That's a lot of counterhate. Not wholly unwarranted, but severely one-sided. Corporate products are not for dissidents or the privacy-focused. Period. The end. You need to find alts designed to be private and/or pay to not be subs

You can believe to any degree you like, but there would be no concern about "fair use" in the copyright law lexicon if it only took "proper attribution" to re-purpose others' content for commercial or non-commercial
