The Zoom security team has a lot to answer for on this one. They subverted built in security to only then fall victim to the very thing that would have been stopped by what they subverted. Good on Zoom to do a rapid course reversal here alt

The article sort of disses traditional landing guidance systems but misses the point of these. Specifically that such instrument approaches are used because one can’t see the runway at all. Thus a system that relies on cameras to land is ac

He’s not being charged with publishing classified data. That is broadly protected by the First Amendment and has been tested many times. He’s being charged with stealing the information and actively supporting others in doing so. That activ

YouTube has a nice video of Brian May going thorough the master for Bohemian Rhapsody. It gives a good idea of what’s on a master and also interesting insights into how they overcame some of the technical limitations of equipment at the tim

Salesforce appears increasingly worried about being pigeonholed as a CRM product and wants to ride the data wave and be seen as a data product. I’m not sure this acquisition makes a lot of sense though. The Tableau fad seems to be fading as

The “hustle porn” is also quite frequently a coverup or distraction from general failure at other parts of life. Those that are super successful in perhaps their career but have no personal life, no partner, no kids, no real existence outsi

I would imagine on most new construction you could find little things like that if you look hard enough. They should be noted and fixed by the contractors but such items don’t constitute the whole complex being “built poorly.” That seems a

I’ve used similar systems recently in Europe so it would appear GDPR is cool with it... It seems they are simply asking for identify verification by sending the photo to a remote DHS server for verification. How is this different than showi

It’s not quite as bad as it might appear. A lot of the gauges are engine instruments repeated 4 times. A lot of pilots would love to fly the old “steam gauge” versions of big planes like the 747.

The WeWork model has proven very easy to copy and in competitive markets there are a lot of other popular “WeWorks” other than “WeWork” so I don’t buy the idea that it’s hard to replicate. Not that different than Uber. It was a great idea b

They are literally losing more than a dollar for every dollar in revenue. At their age and size that’s both beyond insane and far outside what could be reasonably deemed “expansion costs.”

Yes, on Point B the comp IS “crap” and hence why most startups try to convince you to take the options. They can’t pay you what the competition would give you in liquid comp so they try to get you to take the bet. Such startups are typicall

Easiest strategy is to just assume the options are worthless and base your comp assessment on that. Doing otherwise sets people up to get burned badly. Furthermore the risk reward for all but the founders is typically significantly lopsided

Amazon didn’t withdraw from NYC. They still have around 5k employees here. Meanwhile Google is significantly expanding their NYC offices and nobody had to bribe them to do it.

Your argument is that Silicon Valley is an economical place to do business relative to NYC and that New York, with its centuries long history of immigrants turning up with nothing and “making it,” don’t take risks? Tell me more. :-)

The backlash was mostly about the tax breaks and government subsidies that would have been given. The argument was that New York is New York and doesn’t need to bribe companies to put big offices here.

The NYC tech sector is indeed growing quite strong and is also quite grounded in the realities of business because of the diversity of NYC’s overall economy. Few cities in the world have the economic diversity that New York does. That drive

It’s an interesting aircraft and nice to fly in, but commercially it was the wrong plane with the wrong technology at the wrong time. Boeing got some flack at the time when they canceled their own superjumbo plans but history now shows they

There seems to be a continuing chain of these damning stories about McKinsey and its quesrionable ethics. Seems like the New York Times has one now every few months. Has the firm lost its way or are lights just being put in places McKinsey

Boeing’s answer seems to say if you accidentally pull the thrust reverser lever before the aircraft is on the ground it just force shuts down the engines. That sounds like an odd safety override. Surely a better solution would be to just no
