I'm sorry, what exactly is the right response to Putin's aggression then? Just let him have Ukraine? Complete non-starter. I'm getting really tired these doomer posts regarding the US. Yeah, the US spends a lot on military

Could you explain how you got 0.15? (6,116,388, cash and cash equivalents + 346,048, accounts receivable + 1,333,333, crypto assets held) / (10,921,823, current liabilities) = 0.71

Unless you know someone in your network, you won't find one. Or if you do, they will (most likely) be a catastrophe. Running a business is more than the technical problems. It is people. And logistics. And taxes. And payroll. And

Your loop-hole doesn't make any sense. Mortgage interest is deducted against income but that doesn't make your loan "free" from cost since the tax rate isn't 100%. Example: $1000 in net operating income, $500 in mo

Thank you for this. I learned something new today. Any books/websites you could recommend to learn more about this sort of stuff?

To be honest, I can never go back. Remote work is such a perk that I'm willing to quit and move jobs solely to maintain it.

Can someone explain why this is being downvoted? It seems like an honest assessment of the situation.

A bad thing that I've realized about the latter scenario is that it is a vicious cycle. Here's what I mean: 1) You are a loyal employee who works hard and puts in the hours. You promise yourself that you will treat your reports

Simply wanted to say thank you for taking the time to write this. Always interesting to hear a non-american perspective.

Honestly, it's really simple: two weeks and that's it. Been there 2 years and haven't gotten a raise/promotion? 2 weeks. Been there 10 years and are bored/didn't get what you want? 2 weeks. Don't fall over

Is that a law or just a standard that people follow? Not trying to be snarky, genuinely curious.

I think the root cause of this boils down to one thing: Smart engineers have been screwed over time and time again by startups who used their talents and didn't reward them. I've known many early, foundational employees work thems

How did you find him out? Just curious since if someone was that determined they would probably go to extra lengths (i.e. different physical computers per job, etc) to conceal it.

They probably just see that the Fed going to raise rates and realize that there are going to be less mortgages handed out which means less customers.

Everyone keeps bringing up the $750MM that the company raised and juxtaposing that news with the layoffs. But I don't think people get that the money probably came with many strings including reducing costs (read people) as well as th

It comes from the arabic spelling of Gadaffi: قذافي‎ The ق at the beginning is a mix between a glottal stop and a k sound (depending on the dialect). There's no real way to spell it in English, hence the variants. This is similar to

Perhaps. Or perhaps over those 10 years he was keeping a list and had some scores to settle. I've found execs "in the game" (so to speak) rarely forget.

It's not about changing the business model or culture. It's ensuring that the CEO can survive and has allies he can work with. I hate to break it to you, but execs who come from the outside (i.e. non founders) rarely care about

I think it does make a difference. Its a small one, but one that hits home. After all, when you see those videos online of the Biden admin with 1000s of dislikes...don't you feel that there is a segment of people out there that don&#

It is pretty standard to have a new CEO change up the previous lieutenants. Helps cut down on people who are still entrenched to the "old" ways. If the new people are actually better or not isn't really relevant. Loyalty i

It really makes me sad when I go to Costco to buy food. I don't know how people will feed their kids right at these prices honestly.
