It's a pretty typical mistake. We are just as smart as our predecessors. We just have a much higher population, a higher % of them are well educated, and we have an enormous body of historical knowledge (as well as easy…
I am sure that's at least part of the thinking. And judging from comments here on HN, it seems to be working. Just two post above yours there's a comment stating that any government solution cannot fix the tracking…
I work in the industry (yes, the whole debacle has been fairly entertaining). From what I've heard, Neumann was 100% convinced that the 16Bn financing round was a sure thing (and the rapid growth was how he positioned…
A well executed Excel model is much easier to explain to a non-technical person. To be frank, for all the snobbery towards Excel, it has done a marvelous job at getting millions of people to think in more quantitative…
No, but the Ireland government would surely object, because their cozy and soft relationship / taxes agreement with the tech giants is the only thing that's keeping them in Ireland.
And yet private organizations so often want to sit on the moral perch and pet themselves about all the non-profit oriented actions they take.
This is such a peculiar, and I have to say, snobby, criticism - especially towards the last part of the article. The Gioconda is too famous and doesn't deserve the crowd it gets? Maybe. Sounds like a subjective…
How come?
Not trying to be snarky, but my experience is almost exactly the opposite. I can't comment on voting patterns, but while GDPR was being prepared, and after it was released, there was an endless barrage of posts claiming…
19 backbenchers. Probably not suffient to swing the vote, but more people might come out. https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/political-parties/labou...
This was extremely fascinating. Thanks for posting.
So this is interesting; assuming that this doesn't go to the Supreme Court or is otherwise unchanged by it, it could mean that after some states implement their own laws (and fight off the inevitable lobby/lawsuits…
This might be a personal impression, but there seems to be a reflexive (negative) response from many posters here regarding any new regulation that the EU produces. I've been trying to wrap my head about whether that's…
See, I wasn't sure whether that's a typo or the way an AI would refer to us.
Do you by any chance have a link to that video, or remember the name? I'd very very curious to see it.
That's 100% been the case - I am familiar with the industry and they have been more than willing to not make any margin in order to get the clients they want (big names, or poach from the competition) That strategy…
A bit cynical, but not unfair. Many people in the US persistently cling to the idea that solution implemented and working (albeit imperfectly) in other parts of the world will not work in the US due to XYZ. Which in a…
Indeed. This is completely unrelated to the details of the case - it is simply unacceptable that a higher court can effectively gag a lower court from referring to the EU court. The brazen contempt for the spirit of the…
Buying (a product) off the shelf is the right answer in many situations. But not when you are not actually buying a product.
There's a bit of longer-term reputation damage which is significant in an industry dominated by companies who tend to think over the span of decades rather than quarters. One fairly big serviced offices company pulled…
I would argue that's still a win. Discord and Telegram are more difficult to track because they are less public and visible. The move has therefore managed to reduce the exposure that non-active participants have to…
I am not sure whether anyone being a military titan can be defined as "righteous", but its definitely been something that was going to happen sooner rather than later.
Pre-experience business school (BSc) doesn't launch you straight into leadership positions. Post-experience business school (MBA) can do that (that's usually leadership of 1-2 kids straight out of school), however to…
I guess Oracle's desperate attempts (to the point of suing the government) to ensure a cash cow for the next decade despite clear tech inferiority were not successful in the end
If the company is utterly reliant on a single person, that person is either an equity owner, or should be, and the owner is taking advantage of them. If you own in part the business, then imho you take as much or little…
