Unfortunately they have to do this if they don’t want to lose the trademark. You can’t trademark something if it’s deemed to be of common use. Of course if your trademark is a color then this can be quite difficult.

The first time I got in an Uber and saw two other phones on the dashboard with the driver working Lyft and another competitor at the same time I knew it was game over for these companies. Both the drivers and the riders were taking the best

The MBA has lost its once held stature in most industries. It’s almost become an acronym for dumb business decisions in many circles: “This must be something the MBAs came up with.” If schools want to stay relevant they need to create progr

Excellent progress and a great credit to LetsEncrypt and others that brought free cents to the masses. There’s almost no excuse to not encrypt anymore. The “not secure” shaming of non https sites by major browsers also applied some needed p

Most drones already do need to be registered and commercial operators need to be licensed. Pieces of paper don’t stop stupid though unfortunately.

This is impressive. Use case is for an incapacitated pilot. It won’t work well or at all if the aircraft itself is having issues or in other emergency scenarios. As such it doesn’t replace the need for qualified pilots at the controls.

Setting aside the dumpster fire that was WeWork’s business model, the product was just fundamentally not that good. In cities where competitors popped up WeWorks were often the bottom of the market in terms of places one actually wanted to

Options holders are not shareholders. Options holders are not owners of the company. Options holders are not investors in the company. Too many forget these things and are shocked when then find out some event doesn’t treat them like one of

Have visited Amish stores where they have pneumatic belts for the cash registers. The registers were about the only electric thing in sight and were powered by batteries and solar or generators. Lighting was all gas powered from propane tan

So SoftBank is loading up We with huge amounts of debt to give it cash (vs a normal capital investment)? This smells like a leveraged buyout PE move. The whole side deal on bailing out Adam on his mega personal loans with the banks is inter

There’s another often unwritten element here around companies basing their valuation on false markets. For example, if I sell $2 for $1 that’s a false market. Of course I can grow like crazy and gobble up lots of customers. I could even “di

All that’s happening is that the market is calling BS on companies that lack sound business fundamentals. The days of valuing companies sky high that are deeply unprofitable but “it’s OK because we’re a tech company so it doesn’t matter” ar

It would appear there is a lot more to the story than the headlines imply. For example evidence disputes their account of how they ended up in the US and the fact that they previously tried to enter the US and were denied for reasons not fu

WeWork could have been successful if they focused on the core business and operated lean and mean. While they didn’t invent the co-working space model there was certainly room to improve it. However the company was just simply not run very

It will be bad, although with the complete inability of UK leaders to get anything done or make decisions much damage has already been done.

This does exist, but isn’t common. Some newer jets do have something like this. When the A350 has its first flight out of JFK the computer automatically aborted the takeoff because it thought there wasn’t enough runway. Turned out to be a f

“Aviation experts say airliners need to lift off the ground with enough runway left to abort a takeoff“ That’s not accurate. While the aircraft shouldn’t be nearly hitting the end of the runway on takeoff it’s normal for larger jets to hit

Depends entirely on contractual details likely not broadly known. Those details have not been broadly reported or discussed. In general in a generic sense it’s quite common for investors (those writing actual cheques into the business) to b

People have been calling for a recession/big market correction since around 2012. At some point an analyst will be right and then they’ll hold the throne of “this analyst predicted the last recession... hear what they think now” until

This IPO story is struggling. There have been several recent examples of public confidence in the business model collapsing post IPO, but the WSJ and others are reporting on this so heavily as it looks like we’re now seeing public confidenc

The ultimate issue here for Lyft, Uber and such is not contractors vs employees but the amount of subsidy these companies need to give to get people to buy their product. Making people employees is only a big issue for these companies becau

That may provide them some short term legal protection, but the second one of these sub-entities plays that card it’s basically game over for the whole enterprise.

Why does WeWork increasingly look like one of those deals on Shark Tank that starts off looking great then goes way south when the sharks start probing? I can see it now: “Wait, so we’d be investing in your business which is leasing buildin

Actually looks like everyone should claim 20 hours of your time wasted at $25 an hour and get $500 (Option 2 listed). I certainly had a lot of time wasted trying to figure out what to do and then taking more actions to protect from possible

The spirit of this is in the right direction but the details are in the implementation. I’ve seen this sort of thing backfire big time as it basically encourages cliques of people that “like” each other and then shun others. If not done pro
