With regards to advertising, what are you doing to offer a realistic alternative to getting content creators paid online? Paywalls work, but people hate them (go into the comments of any article from the WSJ or such on here). The automatic

"[1] I'm becoming less of a fan, as MacOS becomes "cloud aware" and less of a Unix workstation." How is it becoming less of a Unix workstation? It can still do all the Unixy stuff it could before.

Except Apple shows that you don't have to sacrifice privacy. Just about all of their ML stuff happens on the device. So you can have things that are quite similar to what Google gives you, without giving up that privacy.

"I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt." After all that he and his company have done? He has long since lost the benefit of the doubt.

I dunno. I mean, if that's your plan, why bother with VC funding at all? Why not get a small business loan, and operate that way?

"It's in the contract!" is a poor excuse for the company acting shitty to you.

"The "belief" of the American people that "it's not fair" is pointless. It can only be resolved with policy, and if that policy is disliked, it's intellectually dishonest to hide behind individual portions

Uber can claim to have grown up when they fire people for that conduct WITHOUT having to have the press come to them first.

So at what point does society get to determine Uber no longer deserves to be a company?
402.
by s73ver 9y ago
It's because their business model involves making stuff, and selling that stuff to people for a profit.

I absolutely disagree. This emphasis on "not being rude, even to stop others from being rude" is how we get this casual sexism. Waiting for post-commentary media would mean that Hubeny wouldn't get the chance to speak. Childi

I don't think anyone could claim that employees get a better deal than the investors, ever.

Public companies can issue stock grants too. They tend to be much more worthwhile, too, as you can actually sell them once they vest.

Dilution is only a positive sign if your stake is increased to compensate. Otherwise it means you're working for less than you agreed to.

Not being someone who harasses others at work, I don't know if this would work. But if your company had a reputation of taking that kind of thing seriously, wouldn't it mean that those bad actors would be less likely to apply at y

When I picture a "Startup Veteran", I picture someone who's worked with one or more companies to a large and successful exit. Someone like that is likely fairly wealthy, and so doing a startup doesn't have the same amoun

It's only rude to the people who believe that unpleasant things shouldn't be talked about.

That doesn't make a lick of sense.

No, because people not caring would encourage sexual harassment to continue, as there is no consequence for it happening.

"But none of those other behaviors happened at Uber." That's not true. "It was literally someone asking another adult if they want to have sex." Not at all. It was a boss repeatedly asking their subordinate if they

There's no can about it. It always is wrong.

Google doesn't have a reputation of ignoring it to the point where they tacitly encourage it, like Uber does.
417.

The criticism is largely because there's no transparency into it. Yes, the proper course of action when you have a harassment problem is to fire people, but you also have to fire the right people. Firing those who commit the harassment

I don't think so. California's non-compete attitude is part of what helped Shockley Semiconductor get started, and that same attitude is what allowed the "traitorous eight" to leave there and start Fairchild Semiconducto

"It's a fallacy that being in San Fran or NYC actually matters." If you want money, which let's be honest, is one of the most important things in this context, it highly does. All of the major VCs are in SF or NYC, and h

I don't trust measures of "small business friendliness", because more often than not, how "business friendly" a state is really is a measure of how willing they are to gut consumer protection and employee protection
