They will likely also have some level of stock based compensation. On the downside most tech employees can easily find a job elsewhere, whereas the CEO may take a reputation hit that makes it hard to get another position at a similar level.

Or just has these delivery issues treated more seriously. Amazon knows exactly which orders they reship and the complaint that the customer makes, they could directly track that metric against delivery drivers.

Even more complicated is the Fulfilled By Amazon stuff they do for 3rd parties, where they can often be relying on the 3rd party to provide an accurate assessment for an item that they don't sell themselves.

I assume Amazon operates like most retailers in that they would be buying a certain type of shipping service. Often dangerous goods shipping is at a different rate. I would guess that most likely there were just products in their system tha

You get events where hardly anyone wants to actually be there. So some of the people who do show up end up resenting those who didn't. Similar story with people that put in an appearance for 20 minutes.

So at this stage factoring in the active management cost they are outperforming the market. Of course we don't know in the long run whether that will continue to be the case.

Both are competing for the same talent. Also in the Let's Encypt case there are no stock options to make up the difference with the big tech companies.

Search is still horrible. I can only assume that is is sequentially searching back through every line of chat with no index and hanging everything in the process. Then when it does find something the common use case is never going to be scr

American football is very similar in terms of locking people into set states regularly? It is interesting in that it allows you to create many set plays, where is other football variants are too fluid and only occasionally allow for set pla

That is great. We use emarsys for marketing emails which extensively uses media queries to build a mobile specific version of your template. The example they give with a YouTube email. I wonder if they decided to make the change because of

That's the easy part though. Australian sellers who ship from overseas would be committing tax fraud not to start collecting GST on these sales.

I think we are a long way from this, over time our company has incorporated in a bunch of countries in order to get access to rates and services that otherwise would have been hard for a foreign company. I think often the hidden costs in la

There is also transfer transfer pricing to contend with. You lose the some of the ability to have funds wherever you need them in your group without also having a plausible reason why your US entity is making no profit and all its funds are

I think unless they are checking for them to the same extent that they are checking for liquids and weapons in carry on it is likely that plenty of people aren't following the rules either intentionally or from ignorance.

A while back I checked a second, relatively bulky laptop that I was carrying for a new employee. As I understood it the current rule is that you shouldn't check a laptop battery that isn't plugged in but it is fine as part of the

You often can't find so much as a blog post for early stage companies that have failed. Given you can keep a mostly dead service with few customers running as is for such a small yearly cost. The giveaway is usually a blog or social me

Nobody believes that. Just that when building new versions of iOS they aren't concerned how it runs on older generation hardware.

It is interesting how everyone can pass the blame for emissions. In Australia there is an argument from some that even though we are the highest polluter by capita our net emissions are low enough that it doesn't really matter what we

Regarding onboarding I think one thing you can do is be smarter about the trial period. I will often signup for things and not get around to properly trailing before the trial period runs out. No doubt if I email you you will give extra tri

I think this kind of test is generally just looking at the performance of the engines. Certainly highly unusual for the rocket to explode as part of this kind of test.

Even if they saved money on this one particular booster the costs of the technology and all the landing attempts/ successful landings will probably mean it takes some time to come out ahead overall.

Even if publishers decided to take a hard line on this I don't think it is too big a deal for Twitch. The majority of their viewership is in esports events and the games that are played as esports.

There would definitely be some level of revenue being driven off these. It is an interesting case where apart from the software it didn't cost them anything to get the email address, so getting a higher unsubscribe rate doesn't se

Yeah, the decoupling of desktop and tablet is a big deal for us, our tablet conversion rate is currently pretty similar to mobile but we have had to pay roughly double per click over mobile to have the bids correct for desktop.
