Great- I think this will bring forth the root cause of the problem which is employer tied benefits and employer tied taxes. Right now there are entire business models based on avoiding taxes and benefits. You can have protections like min w

"But we know we also need to go beyond the browser to give people new products and technologies that both excite them and represent their interests" I was a loyal Firefox user and can't even remember why I switched to Chrome.

I didn't know this was a thing until my friend said he stayed in a guest room of a small country's embassy in SF that the host probably never had permission to rent out.

Its an American cultural norm- which often seems 'fake' or 'posing' to Europeans, S.Americans or Asians who are little more reserved and stingy expressing such levels of sentiment. It was a shock to me when I started int

Just not fair /s More important as Uber tries to monopolize the space by buying GrubHub. These delivery companies are going to encourage fly-by-night/cloud kitchen operators to increase their margins and reduce prices on the alrea

I would have no problem with Elon deciding to launch himself with a rocket, but I'm worried about workers who don't have an option and are doing it because they have to. The only thing I can think of to offset this risk is that El

This makes a lot of sense but then shouldn't this apply to stocks like Netflix or Peloton. That once the people get back to work and gyms, these companies will struggle to grow as fast and in a way face permanent damage till the next p

Ofcourse a small portion will always be ambitious, enterprising and expect to join the 10%. But we are all convinced (and I assumed this too) that the stock gains are good because it helps average Americans increase their 401k, but the stoc

I'm surprised the average Americans (the 90%) don't get that they are providing insurance to the 86% wealth of the top 10%, but get almost none of the gains.

Whats the difference between dependent contractor and W2? What do they get and what do they don't?

This may be cynical, but I think this was a PR focused earning to offer better optics. I think they absolutely had to say something to placate the rising tide of voices against their monopoly and for their contribution to so many retailers&

Seems like Muddy Waters Research has been dong this successfully for a while. Seems like Ehealth is their latest target, interesting model. Is there a similar model for common investors to benefit from such research instead of just hedge fu

Ah ok- I stand corrected - the medical is pretty reasonable. The 401k match takes 3 years to vest.

I'd be really surprised if these were real- '401(k), health, vision, and dental benefits'. Anyone can offer 401k without matching, medical without contributing to the premium.

Would this slow down the move to electric cars? If gas is so cheap, it takes away one of the major advantages.

Why would it disappear. It would be auctioned off to the lowest bidder- maybe the debtor itself.

I think it points to how the public markets are getting better or were always good at spotting when a mattress maker claiming to be Tech/Mattress as a Service doesn't justify the multiples. So the trend of high priced rounds meeti

Unfortunately, a job search aggregator assumes that companies religiously post new jobs. The reality is when a company wants to hire it 'may' post a job to cover it butt in case of an EEO complaint. Mostly they have internal candi

Consider yourself collateral damage- just like full-time employees were when companies decided to hire ICs and not pay them benefits. The real problem unfortunately lies in the fact that the Govt decided the best way to provide people benef

That is the point of the law. If you want to work exclusively for one company, you are not a freelancer- you are an employee and the company owes employer taxes for you. They don't get off and you don't get to ask for relief for

Many folks eat just 2 meals a day- a big heavy breakfast and a day's end dinner and it works fine for them. Lunch is just a silly ritual- if you get it - take it by all means but don't assume those who don't take it are suffe
