I doubt it. The alternative is selling software for a high one time license fee, and that's even harder right now. (i.e. Those clients going bankrupt aren't buying anything from anyone, it's not about the specific model).

Or, you know. Breaking the law.

This is great news, I'm glad the Mr. Gates has decided to orient his foundation and efforts towards this. If we as a society don't get our arms around this pandemic, the other things Mr. Gates cares won't be solved either.

In my area at least, they do have something similar to this now called Fast & Flexible. https://news.instacart.com/introducing-fast-flexible-order-a...

Also, companies backed by Venture Capital or Private Equity can't currently access these funds in most cases. Nearly 100% of these unicorns fail the affiliation test. https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/cares-act-ca

That was true 15 years ago, but is not true any more. (It's still "redder" than LA or SF, but not even close to the reddest place in CA). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_San_Diego_County

That isn't quite right, you can can still buy these things online. This is just a temporary effort to stop the "retail tourism" that people seem to be partaking in (going to retail stores to look around as something to do).

In this case, the USPS is not funded by taxes. It has a nightmarish duality of both getting no public funds and being controlled by congress.

2 Million deaths was without all the drastic measures we've taken. I'm having a hard time understanding what exactly you are suggesting we (society) should have done here. "Used our common sense" to do what?

Serious question - would you feel the same way about using CEO or CFO without spelling out what they stand for?

Why would you assume these companies would go bankrupt? In most cases they will just lay off a bunch of people (which is exactly what the legislation is designed to avoid).

If the real goal here is to save jobs, this is all completely irrelevant.

This is a very uncharitable take, here are three things they are asking for from the article, all of which seem very reasonable to me: "Workers from both Amazon and Instacart want more access to paid sick time off. At this time, it&#x2

The good news is that these are outliers; this is not typical behavior for any size church, mega or otherwise.

I've posted this before, but it's relevant again: My high school started at 7am. I also took the bus; which picked up around 6:15am; so I usually woke up around 5:45am during the week. I would often nod off during my first or seco

Or maybe some people just have different opinions than you do? Unions are a charged topic for lots of people.

Ironically, brandless tried to be this for lower dollar items. But there is another story on HN right this second about brandless failing and shutting down.

Two quick thoughts on this. 1) The amount of transparency that this company shows is insane. I have a hard time imagining any one else in this situation sharing the way they do. I hope it works out for them long term. 2) The due diligence

Unfortunately it's a very real boogeyman in the US. "The U.S. has the highest liability costs as a percentage of GDP of the countries surveyed, with liability costs at 2.6 times the average level of the Eurozone economies" h

Not Mcmoose; but I would say definitely yes. Top 3 is too high a cutoff in my opinion; I would expand the above sentiments to "top 20"; which would include Ross - especially if you are considering regional appeal and are an indus

I don't think you fully read the comment you are responding to. The point was that WeWork actually isn't undercutting its rivals.

This is the only post that matters here. Thanks for providing the proper context to this (non) news.

There is a lot to criticize WeWork for, but this isn't one of those things. Those leasehold improvements are the reason that people are customers of WeWork (i.e. they take old staid buildings and make them great offices.) It's l

Regardless of the details of this specific case; I hope the end result is some clarity around what is required to make a website ADA compliant (and when it's required).

This is one of those instances where playing chicken seems to have worked out (for the US). Good news on this issue; although I'd feel more comfortable if there were fewer geopolitical games of chicken going on; it just takes one crash

Yes it is for small privately owned business with one primary stakeholder. Not giant Softbank funded behemoths.

Not sure if this is helpful or not; but I have a very similar 8 year old. (Although his emotional maturity isn't quite as far behind as your child, and his response is to shut down rather than attack.) Similar challenge with IQ where h

This is chapter six of a much, much longer article; (which is not yet all published). Make sure you read it with that understanding, this is not intended to be read in isolation. https://waitbutwhy.com/2019/08/sto
