   Only for high value targets right? Takes some work to spoof.

   The margin on trading is quickly becoming negative so banks think they can absorb them and profit on flow and potentially the asset base. MS needs more assets if they want to start lending.

   Thanks, much appreciated.

   It’s funny how dropping “guys” is such low hanging D&I fruit but also so hard to do. I try to use “folks” and honestly have started saying y’all a lot.

   Precisely. They could do that, they only will do that if the returns from doing so exceed their cost of capital.

   Exactly. The only question here is can Uber/Lyft operate in an npv positive manner under these new regulations? If so, then they will and the regs hurt their margins in order to serve workers and that’s fine. If not, they’ll leave, and

   Very true. I went to a large tech company after the small one in search of that. Unfortunately I didn’t see anyone in roles potentially ahead of mine where I’d look at their job and think “that’s what I want to work towards.” Now I have fo

   I don’t know that I agree. Mentorship is very important at the early stages of a career and I definitely missed out on it personally joining a small company out of college. Not sure exactly what OPs resume looks like but if it’s enough for

    This is similar to the prevention paradox with COVID. We will never know what inaction would have brought.

    Maybe you are only under the impression that your freedom is not threatened due to the legions of people working in the background to secure it.

    I read this post as well and while I respect this person his claim is hugely anecdotal. What if some decision far above his pay grade resulted in COVID patients being rerouted from other NYC hospitals to his? That could easily explain his e

    Precisely why I said it’s complicated. Just make sure your lawyer tells you if you’re doing everything you need to.

    Piercing the veil can occur for many different reasons, including some as simple as improperly kept notes of annual meetings. Consult with a lawyer to be sure every formality is followed.

    Then they sit down at their first job and have to use Maya because it’s the standard and are behind. Or worse, can’t get a job because they’ve never used it.

    Precisely. The moment that happened, the basis of ARMs business model was to generate returns for SoftBank. Nothing else.

    That’s not the only factor. I have a home office and can’t wait to get back. I work in an industry that’s all about relationships and those are hard to build remotely. I just started a new role and there’s no way I could ever progress upwar

    So true. I cannot fathom how governments don’t think about how corporations, which are rational actors with clear goals, will respond to regulations. This Uber thing is simple and boils down to only one question: can Uber operate in an npv

    I’m talking more about making moral judgements without adequate information or analysis. I’m not saying that morality is not absolute.

    Certainly. I even catch myself doing it too. I’ve had to develop a kind of framework for considering political issues to avoid it: What’s best for me? What’s best for my family? What’s best for my community? What’s best for my country? What

    I’ve found that most people I speak to can’t accept that most issues are complex shades of gray. It’s all our team or their team based on whatever news channel they subscribe to. No one takes time to dig below the surface and think for them

    It could hurt their margins big time. They’re public now - investors want cash flow.

    All good points. But is it really better from a returns standpoint for Uber to cease California ops or was that just a ploy? If that move will make them the most money under the new regulatory regime, no one can compel them to operate.

    Fair enough, obviously OP has the right to parent as he pleases. I think that my tinkering intuition has led me to many of my professional successes, and this talent was garnered by experimentation with computers as a child.

    Yep, if you want California-style rolling blackouts.

    We shouldn’t subsidize anything, the government is bad at picking winners. We should tax carbon, let the market figure out the rest.
