There are billions of people on this planet who can’t understand English, there’s nothing wrong with them. It’s really not unkind to point out when someone is aggressively misinterpreting really simple words.

Yes, obviously. Although admitting to casual drug use will pretty much ensure that you won’t get hired. I think you know damn well that jobs requiring a security clearance are a special case. It really doesn’t make sense to bring this up in

What? I replied to a comment saying: >it wasn't an issue of enforceability I’m not backtracking on anything. Are you ok? If it wasn’t an issue of enforceability, I think we can reasonably assume that the noncompete was not enforceab

Or they’d just hit up twitter’s board, enter an agreement with them, and continue buying shares as normal. The poison pill just requires prior approval from the board, which they would happily grant in this kind of a case.

But why do you care? Not your company, not your problem.

So you do agree with me that this is not going to happen.

They will talk to Twitter board and make an agreement with them to not trigger the poison pill, and continue buying shares. Such an agreement would be reached incredibly quickly, there would be no need for stopgap measures. From the article

No, you aren’t going to have higher volatility like this than you would buy triggering a poison pill like discussed in the article.

That is not what passive management means. For example in the case of SPY, that would go against their stated investment objective. They also clearly state > the Trust may fail to own certain Index Securities at any particular time, the

This is simply incorrect. Index funds still do basic due diligence, they would not trigger this poison pill.

Do you think big ETFs just buy shares willy nilly without any due diligence on company charters and bylaws?

Just because one tiny fund screwed up once does not mean that it is anywhere near likely that any ETF would screw up in a manner that would trigger this poison pill. $15bn is tiny , presumably we’re talking about big ETFs like SPY here. An

An ETF isn’t going to “accidentally” exceed 15% ownership of Twitter. Seriously, do you think funds playing with the kind of money to buy 15% of twitter often make careless purchases? >Edit: Also, if Elon is reading this, I'll happi

But Mcdonald’s has not reduced the serving temperature of their coffee after this lawsuit. Are you suggesting that there was something wrong with this woman in particular?

by rosndo 5y ago
Except the McDonalds coffee case isn’t represented in a misleading way, and can very reasonably be viewed as frivolous no matter how much you study the facts.

Easy to say, but I doubt most people would actually let that appreciation affect hiring decisions. A potential hire might also open up about their casual drug use. Would that be points in their favor vs. the other candidate who might very w

Not advertising the fact that you previously signed a non-binding unenforceable noncompete is not lying by omission.
113.
by rosndo 5y ago
Disclosing such a non-compete to a potential employer is such a dumb move that it’s pretty obvious why they would withdraw their offer. Not because the non-compete is scary, but because the potential new hire is clearly an idiot.

Yeah, good luck with getting dolby vision and the likes to work. You’ll also have to deal with substantially degraded experience from streaming services unless you’re willing to deal with the inconvenience of pirating everything.

Okay, but how is the situation worse than it was before FB and twitter existed? The amount of eyeballs available today for even small sites is far greater than it used to be pre-facebook.
