One of the startups I worked for moved office a few times as we grew and leases expired etc. The engineering team pushed for "quiet private space". We avoided asking for "offices" so that the focus was on what sort of en

You need to view the terms of the contract as part of the pay / benefits / conditions package that you consider before you take a job. Very few people would accept a job before they found out what salary was on offer, and so you

I definitely think there's a discoverability issue there. 1. The Hosted CTA is the right-most one. People don't read that one. Eyes naturally go to the first CTA, and then compare it to the 2nd one. Based on the first 2, I expect

The justification for it (which I agree with, but YMMV) is that the government has regulated the Taxi industry for a long time and artificially constrained supply by limiting the number of Taxi licenses. Since it was a player in the market,

A working prototype would instantly silence all critics I'm not sure it would. The general view seems to be that this is feasible in the sense that under the right conditions you can indeed transmit power via ultrasound. (See below)

It's also (to refer to the grand-parent) a stretch to make concrete claims about why any large group of people do any particular thing. I know Jewish people who avoid eating pork (etc) because it's their cultural identity and they
