Good call, was way oversimplifying. Everyone needs to wait their turn and be courteous about it. Doesn’t always happen and results do get quite horrific.

Far simpler would be to adopt Germany-style passing rules - ticket heavily for passing on the right (or in other unsafe ways) and for not letting people pass who signal they intend to. Then if someone wants to go slow, they just have to con

For pharma specifically, trade secrets could be a decent alternative. Coke comes to mind as a success story in that regard - if it was protected by a patent, we’d be awash in cokes made by someone other than Coca-Cola company because patent

This only makes sense if the market is flat-to-declining. Otherwise, for then a mostly flat market this is bad financially - when you pay your mortgage, you are also building equity. It’s a small amount initially, but the share grows over t

There is no such thing as truly passive - the assets in this case are being used by providing capital to the markets and holding shares of companies that may or may not succeed. That’s “doing something” with these assets. The family heirloo

Sorry didn’t catch the produce part correctly - HMB is amazing for that. The barn/farm stand on Kelly Ave (Andreotti Family Farm) is awesome and very fresh. Thanks for sharing the history! Looks like 42 is right on top of the bad site.

Not sure which of the many of their offices you are talking about, but the main Googleplex looks to be on a superfund site from previous semiconductor manufacturers - not an ideal agricultural site. Edit: Link to map: https://www

This! Can’t upvote enough. People keep glossing over the structural differences of being in a crazy, hopefully once-in-a-lifetime, situation and comparing to the good’ol days of when office was amazing. I’d love to hear from those that have

You can probably get this integrated into some other lower friction point than the phone/browser, such as a smart display or assistant. Could also be useful for shopping to make sure the person actually has the right clothes to make th

Even with a pretty basic starting point - a blue polo, got some really odd recommendations, like khaki cargo pants with charcoal kiltie loafers.

The SF downtown/financial district/SOMA kind of always died out on weekends, so now it probably looks like a perpetual Sunday morning - not a soul in sight.

As pointed out in another comment, this is just the outflow number. No word on any inflows. Personal anecdote - haven’t heard of anyone moving into SF in a while. EDIT: as pointed out in another comment, this data also doesn’t cover interna

That REALLY depends on the details of the hypothetical persons situation. EDIT: looks like copy/paste deleted some of the post, adding back: $450k is likely $200k base, $40k bonus and $210k RSU (source levels.FYI). Most lenders won’t t

The current n=94. The real n=43.5k data apparently will come later. Article doesn’t specify when, but “hopes” to have enough of the larger n analyzed to submit to regulators by 3rd week of November.

You’d need critical mass for that. San Diego (I wouldn’t put it into LCOL either) is close enough to LA that many “creatives” with high Hollywood comp already could (and do) move there and commute. There’s also a decent tech scene. It has i
