There was an academic paper about this recently; we’re aware of “Asian” as a bias but not “physically attractive” and disproportionately favor the more pleasing individuals.

How is exclusion helping for a largely non binary but on average positive integer? And it gets even harder to defend if you slice thinner: are penny stocks ok for grandma to own or just individual Fortune 500 stocks? Or no stocks at all jus

You could argue the opposite. The accredited investor rule excluded a significant portion of the American population from participating in economic growth over a 20 year period. They are consenting intelligent adults, why does the governmen

What exactly does flex port do outside of the non descriptive marketing words on its website? Is it an oracle erp for a formerly pdf and paper heavy biz?

What did it end up being? I’m guessing closer to your order of magnitude? Excluding scope creep, of course.

Not sure, but I’d assume I’d be such a rounding error on the cap table that it probably wouldn’t be worth a milisecond of his processing time.

I’ve never received RSUs in a public company but can’t you basically set the strike price at whatever value you want? It’s just a financial instrument after all. NOTE, I’m not arguing for backdating.

If you’ve seen real narcissistic abuse, other than the screaming dehumanizing rage filled sessions, (and this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective) the person on a receiving end has a realllllly hard time cogently describing what th

The covert narcissist in my opinion is the worst and apparently they degrade very ungracefully as they age, which is why you might be seeing it now at an advanced age for your in laws.

I wonder if you can predict when narcissists will lash outward versus lash inwards through self destructive behaviors. Would be helpful to know beforehand even if the predictive accuracy wasn’t very high.

You basically explained a corporate, non-family, version of the grey rock technique. Nice! Source for the curious, many more online and on YouTube (including often helpful role play videos, strongly recommend for practical purposes): https

Having actually worked as a financial advisor in “restructurings” aka bankruptcies, many (most?) of the comments in this sub thread are not correct. Pre-petition, post-petition and restricted payments (say management bonuses a few weeks bef

Speculation: option pools (at least pre-ipo) are generally a fixed %age and therefore relative size. With fewer engineers the ones left get a higher piece of the pie? Just a guess.

Ah okay, this I actually know; see exhibit 115-1 on page 15 and repeated on page 23 from FTXs docket [1] managed by Kroll here: https://imgur.com/a/GxPEzIp (sorry for sloppy screenshot, on my phone). What Elon is allud

Just based on historical experience. On the few things that I know about more than a cursory level the topic is either stale, or not usefully shallow, or incorrect (without attributing malice or incompetence) on Business Insider. Not sure h

Also, without proof, business insider is not a reputable “news” source.

Further, it’s often applied backwards. Some financial engineering self proclaimed wizard will claim “x+y+z=a and the stock is trading at b, and a>>b, therefore the conglomerate discount is too large so we can earn risk free profit (ak

Why not ban lotteries too? And casinos? Or have some committee legislate all activities a human can engage in? Where do you draw the line? Let the government solve how to produce energy and let it keep their fingers out of our personal live

The worse is the payroll companies leaking to equifax. In some states you can “disclose” car loan data on consumers to a certain extent, mortgage balances, etc. Each one alone is troublesome and when aggregated it’s super annoying every Ame

Definitely locks the user in, pushes engagement up, probably pushes the creation of new "blocks" up, etc. Defends against google docs doing it to them?
