This is the best solution. Shows you’re “extra generous” instead of just letting someone walk with their equity. Shows “the company will take care of me.”

This is sad because this is a brilliant enterprise product from a company that has few of the fundamentals required to sell it into the enterprise.

If you spend your time around artists and engineers you might think that freeing people from their jobs will lead to a modern-day Italian Renaissance but if you knew the people I knew growing up you’d realize that the need to go to work is

Yes, only highly qualified people attain CEO jobs. You never see any baffling CEO hires who flame out spectacularly taking shareholders and employees down with them.

LOL, the most ruthlessly effective capitalist of the last 100 years would be pro-union? What gives you the confidence to make such a wildly implausible claim?

LOL. This is not how "democracies" work. They are co-opted by the same mechanics of power just like any other governance structure.

The desire to connect across distance is very real. Grandparents want to see their grandkids, customers want to see their vendors, friends want to see each other.

Of course, it was a flippant remark, but it's more that there are some people who have the right "polish" (looks/Stanford/wit/connections/etc) and they can raise hundreds of millions of dollars for their c

It's a good racket if you can pull it off. Start some kind of "disruptive" company, raise a shitload of money off being 6 foot 4, hire 1,000 people to "disrupt" shit (they don't even have a banking charter!), c

I had an equal pay job offer in Austin that I turned down (despite a massive increase in the standard of living I'd be able to afford) not because of "abortion" per se (this was several years ago), but I just didn't want

I would expect a much higher than sixfold increase in paper acceptances by winning the Nobel Prize. Why wouldn’t there be a massive lift? Even if you can’t personally see why this result is important you know that one of the biggest contrib

This isn't really being sold to the same people as the Quest2, so it's not surprising that existing Quest2 users aren't having much interest.

I thought I was going to get an explanation of why so many guys pay tons of money for fermented grape juice that tastes worse than just regular grape juice.

Yes, European universities are quite cheap but the admissions bar is very high. The expectation is that university is a path for a narrow group rather than a credentialing path for everyone. The academic rigor of the incoming students is ve

Absolutely there is more gender parity, largely because the type of IT work done by the bodyshop firms like Infosys and TCS is more like a decently paid white collar McJob than anything else. You see a lot of female developers in Infosys be

Seems like you wouldn’t need to actually record and store the mains hum… you could just extract it from other videos with known datestamps.

I’ve tried this on my face and it’s very cool. I can’t say there’s any mass market for it but it is not vaporware.

LOL. They're recorded so they can find the firmware hack into the customer's mind where if you say "cybersecurity" the chance of your sale goes up 20%. You don't need to lie and say it's for the customer, it&#x

PCPartPicker also uses affiliate links and it's probably the single most useful site I use.

Malcom Gladwell books are like this. He started out as a magazine writer and was excellent at it, his New Yorker articles are delightful. When he started writing books they just ended up being the ideas of a magazine article in book lengt

I don't think changing Gmail to meet the needs of the homeless, at the risk of everyone else's security, makes any sense. Instead there should be a different email service that the homeless use, perhaps government provided if ther

I honestly just didn’t like drawing.

The 10,000 hour “rule” is complete bullshit. I, for example, was a prodigy at art and a complete dunce at music. I got better at drawing much faster than my peers but I was more interested in music, where I simply could not figure out anyth

This is not like medical triage where some people will just recover on their own... there are vanishingly few customers who are going to buy without a focused sales effort. Your time is best spent on those most likely to convert because eve

This idea would make a lot more sense if there was a big parking lot for everyone to keep one car, but outside the development. So I can walk around this mini-town, but also bicycle over to my car when I want to go somewhere.
