I agree with Mark Cuban on this. Easy decision and implementation. 1. Taking this money is optional but if you take it you accept the following terms. 2. You will not buy back stock for a period of 12 (?) months after the transaction. 3. Fo

The article should be entitled "Brave Executive Team is Brilliant." Brilliant in two ways: (1) they are an ad company that has fairly successfully wrapped itself in a Klingon Cloaking Sheild made up of "open source" and

There is no mention of Yelp or Craigslist as a means to find local help? And the analyst spent a week on this? Waste of time. Nothing here.

Airpod sales benefit from one key feature: a big replacement market. They break and get lost...a lot.

Adam's rise signals the start of the Apocalypse. Even his name is an affront, and a sardonic reference to the Alpha (Book of Genesis) and Omega (We).

The 19" tire is "All Season" rated. The 20" performance tire is "Summer Only." So if you want an i3 "without the hassle" you simply get one with the more-common 19" wheels.

I was going to counsel that you retain your tenure but I guess you've already decided to resign. (If so, why ask?) The rationale for my recommendation is largely captured in other comments so I'll be brief: Winter is coming (macro

Try the Onetab extension. Invoke it on one of your project windows and then name the resulting link group and make it a favorite. Message the Onetab preferences to your liking first. Very clean solution.

Google search has gotten worse and DuckDuckGo has simultaneously gotten better! I have (again) been using DDG for the past few weeks and I type "!g" once a day at most. Very exciting if this seeming trend holds.

To me, Brave left the moral high ground when they became an adtech company. Another harbinger of ill was foisting an ICO on the world -- to sell tickets to the adtech show. To date, Brave's moves have benefitted Brave, and no one else.

Brave jumped the shark when they chose to prioritize an ICO and "revolutionize ads" over core browser functionality. They are now ironically spinning their own flavor of making the user the product. Just say no. Uninstall.
