Can you define accidentally? Do a lot of people give their boss middle finger accidentally? Like yo, went to work, talked to CEO and give him finger, must be weather.

We can just go with euphemism, like “work comfort” and obviously we do it for all genders.

Only in America. Women is very dangerous, be aware. On serious note, somebody should do a startup which trains men to work with women. Apparently opportunity is huge. Should be the first slide. 60% of all men...

I don't see any problem here. Investors control the company. If they want to hire Micky Mouse to run it, so be it. The bigger issue is that the article is non-transparent. What company? Why CEO left? What was achieved during those 4 mo

This article is so one sided. Either you have votes or don’t have votes.

Pretty common in game dev, but it is hard to say. It is not like you can do the same project twice, one crunching and one not and see what the results are? In terms of health, definitely not good. Also from economics, makes no sense if you

Applies to a lot of stuff as well. Racism is just one type of filter(color), but in real life, there are many more: age, education, sex, nationality, prev employers, place of birth.

Hyper casual is a gaming industry concept, which basically means F2P, pick up and play mobile titles which are focused on users that have a couple of minutes here and there. Apple Arcade is focused on a premium gamer who generally pays for

It seems newsworthy. Hot IPO, a lot of money involved. Also, it is public stock now, so daily fluctuations mean quite a lot. If it popped 10% today then there would have been articles about that too.

The game sold super well. Team still owns all the IP. Was overhyped, but it probably 50% is press fault.

Private universities are private as in control, not in funding. John Hopkins is a private university whose research is nearly 90% funded by the government. None of the private universities can exist without government funding. So when Harva

People who control the money, generally have a lot of influence, especially when money is running short, regardless if they are on the board or not.

Probably, because for 99% of people, this is not a goal. Most people want physical/mental health and tonnes of dopamine.

I don’t get it. How does it help to avoid principal agent problem. The link also states it as a fact with no explanation.

I think Google used to be "cool", but it is more prestige now. There is definitely still cool areas which Google works on(AI, self-driving), but overall, if you are working on Gmail, there is nothing cool about it and the main mot

Somehow the jobs which you want to do the most in tech screw you the hardest. Like if you do back-end database boring stuff of moving data around at random Enterprise X, then you can charge through the roof because they know that the only r

As far as I understand VCs(General Partners) don't hold investment money. They just get paid fees and have a mandate from Limit Partners to invest, so when they want to invest, they just call on LPs to transfer the money. I imagine eac

Is it just me or it feels like valuations on these deals is just to make LPs paper profits? Where the reality is that if SoftBank does not provide funding, WeWork is not making it to the choppa?

I don’t see much wrong in terms of the financial process. People default on the mortgage but keep living in the property. That’s not the way to go. The problem is that most likely foreclosure is not profitable for investors, so in order to

The whole premise of good/bad money is misleading. There is legal/illegal, which is super clear. Good/Bad is really up to individual and company to decide. But if someone took Saudi money which US government takes every week

Not naming LPs and stating that they are awesome is just using your influence to whitelist market participants and is very self-serving. Large pension funds have a lot of problems too, like embezzlement/corruption/failing fiduciar

I think where US struggles is general education of population and engagement with political process. Press is subjective and you need engaged critically thinking electorate to see when BS is being presented to them. Basically fake news is o

USA has a lot of problems, but the fact that free press exists is a miracle. Calling people out by name that they are hypocrites by taking Saudi money and basically funding murder would get you killed in most countries.

It is the best system invented. Like maybe someone learned mind control and made El Chapo do it. But when he is not under mind control he is 100% law abiding citizen. It will be a crazy defense, but it will be up to jury determine if that i

They still will hunt down the informants or anyone who might be one in case of the assasination. It is not like informants will give out the info in return for nothing. They will probably want money, witness protection and one way ticket to

Due process and presumption of innocence. As far as US judicial system is concerned Osama and Pablo are innocent. It is always better to try people in court then kill them, because it limits the chances that someone innocent can be killed.
