Most data in WHOIS is a dead end. Try looking up a few sites, apparently everyone lives in Panama now.

As of their most recent 10-Q, they have about $1.8 billion of unrestricted cash.

This framing is also sort of a misrepresentation. It's an annual government-funding bill, and it includes some money for COVID relief. All of the broader criticisms about horse trading still apply of course but those apply just as much

Most places with on call shifts (that I've worked for at least - VC funded tech companies) treat it as a responsibility like any other for a salaried worker. I'm sure individuals have quietly negotiated special deals as they tend

In the comments (which I don't recommend reading, they're full of extreme racism), an apparently regular user says they tried getting donations before but it's never enough to last more than a few months.

You've piqued my curiosity - where is this normal and accepted?

Presumably because it's a lot cheaper and more convenient.

It would also be weird if managers were to capriciously hand out options to employees as short term performance bonuses.

That a lung cancer occurs at some rate such that a particular study could only detect it when smoking five cigars a day doesn't actually tell you anything about your individual risk without knowing the population size of the study. Wel

That's too low. I usually tip my customer service reps 25% of whatever they save me.

Rather than pay for early exercise costs and cover the tax burden, I think it makes more sense for early companies to extend the period employees can exercise options to 5-10+ years after they leave. Several places actually do this already,

She's a PhD researcher, not some kind of equality police, so presumably if the world suddenly became perfectly just overnight, she'd continue doing research but in a different area. I imagine all the AI biases that she is known fo

I don't think insulting the few people who make a good faith effort to understand your project is going to help its reputation.

I'm not trying to solve all the problems of the working class (which is not a monolith except when viewed through certain narrow theoretical lenses). I am just clarifying that race-based slavery was fundamental to southern society and

This is actually a really interesting point/question, and it's one that doesn't have an easy answer. It's true that, overall, most slaves (in pre-civil-war US) were owned by a small number of plantations. But in some sou

Sorry, could you clarify what precisely is a "well studied phenomenon" and maybe link some of the studies? With this sort of research you have to be extremely careful about what claims you assert it supports because there are of

I feel like someone needs to put a big flag at the top of the comments section asking people to at least skim the article. Maybe the problem is the paywall? Anyway, the people they spoke to all left the company prior to George Floyd's

by sfkdjf9j3j 6y ago
As the article says in the second paragraph, the employees that they spoke to left in 2018 and 2019, so this response is irrelevant. I personally find it reprehensible and deliberately lacking context as well but you are entitled to your op

The headline doesn't really tell the full story in this case. The article describes increasing concentration of control of farm land via certain financial products (and direct ownership). It's more of a collection of quotes than a

That's just how so-called "Rationalists" like to write. They have a lot of interesting ideas that are fun to learn about but the core community itself is basically a bunch of computer programmers who believe they can solve th

I don't think that's what's going on here. Swift and Go were both projects that Apple and Google respectively dedicated a lot of engineering resources to growing into mainstream popularity. AWS would have to spend a decade st

Is there any research that suggests such a dramatic effect as you're implying? It's obviously plausible that there is some genetic component to longevity but I have a hard time believing that isn't dwarfed by quality of healt

That's not what happened here though, there's no competing off duty cops protecting Apple's executives.

I agree but I want to point out it's actually worse than you make it sound. One of the indicted officers is second in command in Santa Clara County!

In U.S. cities it's more like thousands or tens of thousands of bike commuters (during good weather), but commuter bikes are either rented from bikeshares or are junkers that get replaced for a couple hundred dollars from time to time.

I think if you're doing this level of nit-picking, it's far more likely that somewhere along the line a scientist used a 32 bit floating point in their analysis and blew the precision out of the water before the number even got to
