From what I was told employees did well but not anywhere nearly as well as some of the numbers that had been initially tossed around (e.g. In regards to the contest winner that got options for signing people up). There were a lot of people

The company's financial fundamentals are terrible. The only thing holding the value up is fluff and hot air. If people get less excited by that the price goes way down and that's what happened today. If people really really lose e

Um, I think there's a difference between "hey we keep running out of coffee... we need a better coffee system" and "I think we have an abusive work environment."

Mostly a result of regulations that make it difficult for companies to get rid of people (either because they're not good or the company needs to shed staff). I've seen this sort of thing backfire a lot in Europe where well intend

Twitter probably gets more free PR (with the news about famous people tweeting) than just about any tech company out there. It's sort of found its niche as a nano-blogging platform for people others like to listen to. It's never g

This. I am endlessly frustrated with display manufacturers think that I want to do all sorts of "smart" stuff with my display. No. I want it to display a nice image for the stuff I want to plug into it, that's it! Setup a new

This seems like technology in search of a problem, and they've chosen a problem that already has a solution--just ask. God forbid we speak to each other.

This is old and has been out there for ages. Regardless it's still one of my favorite simple communications of a concept.

Without knowing the total number of shares it's hard to know what you have. You also need to know how your options will be treated under various scenarios: company goes public, company is sold, company is acquired, company gets more fu

In my, completely unscientific but likely not that all inaccurate, observation SMBs are pushing hard on Facebook. Twitter is dead and people don't waste their money adversiting there. Google is still there but it's become such a m

Reasonably priced debt is issued with the expectation that most recipients will succeed and access to it is generally limited to entities with a stable business model already. VC money is mostly issued with the expectation that most recipie

Perhaps, but we are still a long way off from fully self driving cars actually giving rides to replace taxis at scale. It's not clear how Uber gets from here to there without continuing to lose many billions per year... at which point

The very fact that "preparing for 8 months for a Google interview" is a thing highlights all the things that have gone wrong at Google and their widely panned bad recruitment practices. The process has become about recruiting peop

Very good points and picked up on some accurate stereotypes that often appear in business.

This comes across as sour grapes from Slack. Also, if you want to talk about "open solutions" then make your own solution open.

Academia has long used post-docs as sources of cheap labor. Good for them for finding a strong path into greener pastures in the private sector. These things go in cycles, but right now I sense a strong desire to get out of the mess that is

Simulators are great for training on emergency scenarios that can't easily or safely be done in a real airplane, or practicing and learning new avionics or systems but they shouldn't be a substitute for real flying experience. Thi

There are laws in New York City that say (with good reason) that you can't just turn your home into a hotel. New York is simply enforcing the law. If Airbnb really has the public support they claim then it should be easy to change the

The whole merger of Skype with Microsoft's legacy products (Communicator and Lync) has been a disaster. Lync was a solid product in the corporate world. Now I dread getting a Skype meeting. I can't remember the last time where I&#
