The USP is the same as Rheinmetall and Thales, juicy government contracts since they are "European" and important for "Sovereignty".

I agree comparisons aren't useful - but consider the fact that Madoff screwed over accredited investors, institutions and generally very rich people. SBF messed with customer deposits of a million retail investors - he was going to be

If you take your investor's money and bet it on black at a roulette table and win, you'll still go to jail.

The perception right now is that the board doesn't care about investors, this will kill this company that is burning money at an insane rate. Employees will run for the exits unless they are convinced that there is a future exit.

If you think the SEC is some sort of godlike entity who can read peoples mind yeah this may be illegal. What I'm suggesting is not manipulation - just that investors would be extra willing to invest in the ARM IPO since it increases th

Slightly conspiratorial prediction - The IPO does completely fine over the next 6 months - capitalists everywhere would be kinda screwed if this IPO immediately flops and causes the IPO market stays closed, might as well spend a few billion

The commenter was talking about promotions so I was looking at leadership % vs staff - nice change of topic though. Why is the US population a good source of comparison? Especially when these companies are full of immigrants? You need to lo

White people still are the most overrepresented in leadership https://about.google/belonging/diversity-annual-report/2023/ - you can deny reality all you want - there's only one group that is overreprese

I don't believe this at all - the GOP is getting more and more diverse and there is no explicitly racist GOP policy. This is untrue for European ethno-nationalist parties. Sure there maybe a couple of closet ethno nationalist in the GO

I've lived in Texas for 30 years and I've haven't seen anything like what you see in Europe in terms of racist demonstrations and blatantly racist political organizations. The few weeks of my life I spent in Germany felt far

These are considered "incubated" companies - I don't think these usually go well. Common in biotech though.

Crypto was a massive innovation unlike AI - I'm referring to the ability to liquidate investments to retail by completely bypassing securities laws. I don't think this AI wave can get to the same level since it's way harder t

Gamestop and AMC's business is primarily selling stock at a massive premium to retail idiots. Their secondary business is making sure they are not violating their fiduciary duty. Very far down in their list of priorities is turning aro

This inheritance discrimination is blatantly illegal but like many things in India the laws are fine and the justice system nonexistant.

I don't completely understand how dowries are a thing - isn't there a massive gender imbalance in India, wouldn't dowries go the other way? Curious why this is not the case. This is awful.

This is going to sound offensive but KAUST, PIF, Aramco, Neom are full of mediocre talent from mostly Europe - who do you think is interested in a dead end job and moving to Saudi Arabia to work for some idiot royals? The best talent stays

Yes, the researchers are as Saudi Arabian as Messi and Ronaldo. The only innovation happening in Saudi Arabia is labor innovation i.e. indentured workers from South Asia on one side and overpaid Europeans expats on the other. I'm skept

It's a mildly more humorous comment - also LLMs made it easy to piratify my comment. It's just some low effort internet humor - take it easy. Also for all the injustice in this world, you getting so offended on Netflix's beha

Thanks for paying for the content that I can access for free, I'm sure Netflix shareholders thank you for your service. Netflix is effectively doing a massive price hike with no corresponding value given.

Hackernews is viewing this too much from an American - "Oh they want to get rid of privacy" lens. The reality is that this move is to hurt the opposition party more than the BJP, but nobody in India really wants a completely surve

Anecdotal but I feel like Brits are really big on emigrating or atleast working abroad. There are a ton in the US, Germany, UAE, Australia etc. And they tend to do very well outside the UK.

It's hilarious to me when HR at all corporations go on about bias, diversity etc. in recruiting and meanwhile when the corporation needs a new exec they always just find another white guy from Stanford/Ivy League.

As an industry insider it's fascinating how Japanese firms are generally known to be technology averse and bad at software but Takeda is a strangely fast adopter of technology - makes some American pharma companies look slow. Curious i
