You're right, it's not there. There's vague paragraph about some plans going forward, but nothing that says why she is actually leaving. -- a disappointment, considering this was my only motive for reading the article...

As a native French speaker, what most strikes me in this recording is actually the contrast between: - the language level, which is very much higher than what you would get recording anyone on the street today, with fairly rich grammatical

The problem is that revenue growth per se does not make a company valuable - or actually, it does while you can convince someone else to buy under the assumption that said growth will deliver competitive profits. Selling to Wall Street is t

I actually switched to OneDrive when Dropbox changed their pricing a while ago. Microsoft's offering was way more competitive on both price (€100/yr for 5x1TB) and features (Office access and integration, etc.)

Thanks for all the explanations. I have to say I am always at a loss when quantum physicists start talking about "measurement". In the classical world, measuring means looking at a particular variable x in a system S at time t, S(

The problem with cookie banners is not their intrusive ubiquity: it's that they keep going against the spirit of the law, which was to make any "non essential" (whatever that means) data collection opt-in. If that were functi

I absolutely do not buy into the idea that "poor Slack" failed to "overcome giants" and that any harm was actually done. $27bn is actually successful for a company that's just a few years old. The competition that

Tax loopholes (and tax lawyers) exist only because there is sufficient complexity in the tax system/tax code. This is because the tax system actually has 2 conflicting uses: (i) collect revenue for the gov't and (ii) create incent

The flaw is simple: you'll end up with only having as criminal defence attorneys those people who didn't succeed at being civil case attorneys, as everyone will prefer to earn more money with mostly the same training. So you won&#

Even setting aside the fact that the article is only really applicable if you live in a metropolitan environment where any asset-as-a-service is available on short notice, there's still this one problem: what price do you put on conven

I have yet to find a compelling anti trust argument. - if anti-trust is about consumer protection (kind of a European perspective), there's no basis. You buy an Apple device knowing full well that the only apps allowed on that device a

I just fell in love with this list. I'm considering handing it to the very expensive consultants who make shiny presentations but tend to be very vague about how concepts get transformed into tangible things.

> They are both bad for society I challenge you to demonstrate that copyright infringement per se is bad for society. This would mean copyright is good for society which is still to be proven at least in it's current acception.

How more convoluted can this explanation be? The question is equivalent to just "Find the maximum of nb_conversion × (cost_per_conversion - margin_per_conversion)", and the only interesting question is the relationship between the

You actually have that option but there is a limit to how much you can delay - I'm not familiar with US regulation but in most jurisdictions I know about you could delay for max 3 months after your public submission (mostly due to the
