I'd disagree - this seems highly targeted. There aren't that many people with pagers but pagers were a specific way for Hezbollah to speak to operatives.

Eh. I think you're underestimating how overmatched these IT depts are when it comes to cybersecurity. Either sign a contract with a best-in-class (even if in name only) vendor who says that they'll do all of this for us or we need

I don't think you're going to see as many lawsuits are you think. Most of these contracts probably state that they had to follow reasonable precautions for business continuity and data recovery. Having Crowdstrike in the path se

This article is from Oct 6, 2021 3:03pm. I assume this is being posted today because they're laying off 400 people (35% of workforce) and reported a 53% drop in revenue. Article here: https://www.geneonline.com/ginkgo-j

This is kind of like saying "only eat rice and beans. Even if you want to eat steak, just eat spam cause it's cheaper." Marriage and/or starting a family is a decision that you'll make outside of finance. If you&#x2

First you need to understand that there's no genocide here. Genocide actually means "the murder of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group."[1] There i

Yes, there are a bunch of alternatives but it would help if you could let us know which services you're looking for. Twilio is comprised of MANY different services and there are other companies that are focused on specific verticals. B

Maybe you already know this, but you seem particularly focused on getting into YC. So much so that it seems like your goal in building companies is getting into YC. Going through YC is a potential step in building a company, not the reason

I agree with your sentiment that Yelp seems to have fallen out of favor with many, myself included but, I'm not sure I'd define the company as having failed. YELP currently has a market cap >3B and trades at a p/e of 74.54

The definition of a coup would include either a show of force or an illegal action. Neither of those is happening here. [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=define+coup+d%27etat [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Let's level set here a bit. There is no coup d'etat. Here's the definition of a coup: _a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government_ that is not what's happening here on either side. Instead here&#x

There is an important distinction that should be made here. Your question isn't about putting up with phone calls but rather that you don't like business phone calls, whether making or receiving them. So if we separate the call ty

That's the beauty of what you have. The product people don't care _how_ it's built, just that it is built and quickly - which is exactly the value you add. You need to show the product people that this is the best way to get

Definitely a pain point for many companies but I think you need to have a pitch directed at PMs too. Something that tells a PM "you need good onboarding and it normally takes time to build that. Implement our solution and you'll g

Your point of anything is possible is always and forever true. The point here is that there seems to be a strong correlation between people eating Bamba and no peanut allergy. How can we develop a control group? Oh wait, there is a group of

But that's exactly why this is so interesting. You take a set of people with extremely similar genetics but somehow have very different reactions. I suppose a technical (albeit not precise) analogy would be you producing 100 servers an

As a PM in a previous life, this is dead on. I need answers from queries in the DB but I don't have DB access and having me write sql queries is a waste of time.

From Schwab's press release: "More than 80% of our total bank deposits fall within the FDIC insurance limits, among the five highest ratios of the top 100 banks in the United States."

But your initial quote is not new information, it's always true. If a company goes out of business then the investors aren't "made whole" by the government, this is a risk of owning stock. Biden isn't providing new

I believe that Schwab is not a money center bank. The money center banks have federal requirements to keep a large amount of their cash liquid. In this case that's providing them converage because this bank run wouldn't really hav
