There is some variety, but a very common model in Private Equity is to acquire an asset (a company), and fund that acquisition through either equity or debt. The ability to purchase often comes in through either Private…
Yeah, it's rarely not fixed, and a lot was tied to the historic expectation of the investment being at most ~5-7 years. Closely related, you can read about the PE Zombie funds that cover a lot of this debt.
Yeah, I'm still on a 2021 M1 Pro and the only real complaint is that the battery has weakened somewhat, but still fine. and if I really cared I would probably figure out what to do to get firefox from being such a…
Government is predictably slow, inefficient, and does just about everything at a service level that is only accepted because there is no other choice. -------- Generally true but there have been a lot of examples…
Netflix has done a good job demonstrating customers will complain but won't cancel, so not super surprised by this.
Nope, at least not on the platform I'm on. Just get the popup when accessing media when there is an update and can automate it or schedule for evening, but no way to automatically update it.
Looking at the history it was awarded to organizations a decent number of times in the past, (even up to Nihon Hidankyo in 2024 which focuses on impact from Nagasaki/Hiroshima and anti-atomic weapon advocacy).... which…
But the contribution limit on the traditional IRA is much lower though.
This is prevalent among the big ski consolidators (Vail Resorts, Alterra) year over year.
Yeah was about to post this, this reads that it's the PERM program so just about the path to getting a Greencard, different from H1B1s, etc.
They either didn't kiss the right ass or pay the right bribe within the current administration I imagine.
One of my first DVD experiences was the original Blade film, and it had an alternate ending available to play. That blew my mind and was an awesome experience. In the age of dial-up internet it wasn't like you could…
Comes down to your level of empathy I guess. I think there's a basic floor for how we should treat other people, regardless of the circumstances. Things like access to food and water, shelter, etc. I'm going to disagree…
It's just a standard reintermediation play, inject yourself in the middle of a supply chain, and then once established squeeze the living shit out of both sides. Also use exploitation of regulation (e.g. leveraging…
It's been somewhat established that having a wiped or basic phone is in itself sus and reason for them to investigate you further.
I mean the EV is a good choice, but the bigger impact here is that everything gets more expensive due to the increase in costs of shipping, refining, producing, and heating/cooling... Which often aren't as visible as…
well said, thanks for sharing your perspective.
It definitely varies a ton. I've observed more that H1B's keep employee mobility lower, so employees on H1Bs tended to be paid less due to the natural bumps that come out of switching jobs every few years, especially…
There are already categories like this if you jump away from tech. Our friendly neighborhood Ski resort oligarchies leverage the J-1 Visa program to bring in international students to work at the resorts over paying…
Absolutely; I'd check out AI Engineering by Chip Huyen to get a fundamental understanding of the space and do a couple of side projects in the area to get familiar and be able to speak to the nuances of working with…
Yeah I came here to post that, such a nonsensical statement
Truth. lol I ran a sizeable team around 2020 and I had to educate a couple of our new hires straight from college that they actually needed to check their work email, after they missed important HR related stuff and…
Exec branch has the authority to direct the U.S. Board on Geographic Names as it's under the US Dept of the Interior. That does mean the U.S. Gov't / federal depts have to use the recommendation from the board I believe…
All the handlers around him that are plundering and stealing and doing all the heinous shit. Trump is insanely easy to manipulate.
Yeah, it seems like such an easy value add (especially since they gate it on gemini subs) to make Gemini do a great job in the google productivity apps, but they are generally pretty awful. Claude with MCP access to the…
