I believe Garland was asked about this specific issue in his hearing. He said that the distinction was that in Portland the 'riots' are not disrupting the normal function of government.

Isn't that a false dichotomy? Large organizations can have organizing principles other than profit at all costs. The groups of people that comprise these organizations just choose not to.

Northern VA benefits hugely from the Military Industrial complex. There is a large pool of engineers working boring-ish jobs in the security establishment that Amazon can easily lure away. I think this trumps proximity to the federal appara

> You can't throw more money at a problem, then declare you've come up with a general solution. I agree in general that throwing money at a problem by itself is rarely useful. However, I think your statement sets up a false dic

It depends how on the deal is structured. Public money flows to private hands to fund research. If the research pans out, does any of the profit flow back to the public? Typically not.

It is interesting to think about these trans-national corporations fighting wars and then signing peace treaties. Used to be only nation states did that.

It is interesting to consider why there is a preference to work physically together. The hive metaphor could shine some light here. Is telework effective/possible when there are workers and managers? In my experience managers resist te

If you grew up true middle income or poor in the US it is extremely hard to value equity as an adult. Then, if you manage join a company that offers equity, it can be a mental struggle to buy your options even though you have plenty of cash

Perhaps this is regional but I strongly disagree that ford doesn't have strong brand identity in trucks. Wars have been fought over Ford v Chevy in parts of Texas :)

Does the cost in maintaining/paying for hub airports factor into why airlines are regional? For example southwest has service over most of the US because they use the older/cheaper airports vs United has hubs that don't heavi

I disagree. Companies that start with a monolith then face an exceptionally difficult task of 'moving to micro services' because they need that architecture to support team growth. This task amounts to replacing the engine of a ru

If you go to one of the referenced sites: http://www.vegasworld.com . It asks you to enable flash first then will fall back to the html5 site. I wonder why that fallback is configured.

UPS/FedEx drivers make decent salaries. I wonder how much base pay impacts desire to steal obviously valuable packages. For a Walmart employee the pay is much lower but they will end up with the same knowledge of where/when packag

This is interesting. It seems like a large bureaucracy like cisco recognized it's own flaws and used this method to get around the institutionalized toxicity to crazy ideas. You get to leave all the friction of creating new ideas in a
