This is my concern - and it's sad but true. I really cringe worrying about having too many financial eggs in the Stripe basket. But Paypal is no alternative and traditional CC processors are awful. How does one hedge their bets with St

What is great for shareholders is often not great for employees. What is great for customers is often not great for shareholders. These are often tradeoffs, so "all" is rarely an option.

What does Greatest CEO even mean? Great for who? The shareholders? The employees? The customers? The world? Maybe we shouldn't be looking for "greatness" from a CEO.

How does this differ from Invidious?

by rexreed 4y ago
I am a big user of Invidious as well. The biggest issue is the lack of subtitling, especially foreign language subtitles. Also, the lack of playlist support. Those things often force me back to YouTube when I need to view a video with engli

Listening to it again, and I really like it. I do agree that after about 1:30 or so when it "opens up" it really hits its stride, and I go from like, yeah this is good, to wow yeah this is great after about 1:30. It leaves a g

Hey I really enjoyed it! I was listening it in the background as I was working and then realized it was your piece. It's very well done.

How and when does the loan get paid off then? How is this better than taking salary without the burden of debt repayment?

That's also the first thing I think about. The disappearance of MH370 and the inability to find it combined with sea floor mapping always makes me wonder. I've always fantasized about the idea of autonomous seafloor mapping drones

I would imagine with the very high failure rate of startups, loans based on company equity, especially for small, non-public non-liquid companies must have sky-high rates.

How would this translate to salary? Are you saying you'd get a loan on your portion of the equity at full value and the company would only pay you the interest required to cover that loan?

Actually a lot of today's realities can be traced curiously back to 1971 or the year before or after that. Consider the following: * End of Bretton Woods System - "On 15 August 1971, the United States terminated convertibility o

The generalization aside, if organizations are having such labor issues, what is the motivation for mistreating employees? Doesn't it just exacerbate and compound labor issues? How is any of this helpful? Just retaliatory?

I am not understanding your sentiment here. Are you forgiving any employer excesses because they have to respond to someone else? Is there really no limit or accountability? How about the buck stops with the bad employer.

Why are employers increasingly being so hostile with their workforces? Truly this is becoming a them-vs-us situation with management and board vs their own employees. I can't see how any of this is healthy or helpful. I put a lot of th

Long passwords with repeated characters are the easiest defeat on this "attack". A simple camera that records the actual keypresses is a much more sensical attack. After all, if you can present a thermal camera to the keypad, you
