Honestly, the best thing Snap can do to control their destiny is gut headcount by 2/3. If they bring their costs down so they aren't burning cash, they still have a highly engaged user base that is stable with decent…
3% quarter over quarter growth on a product that is supposed to be still in growth mode is pretty bad. Compare this growth rate to Facebook's when it was was a 200 million DAU and it is not much at all. Add in their…
I think the major issue with your line of reasoning (which I mostly agree with it) is you are assuming wealth distribution. I mean, yes it is in our economy's interests to make it easy to steal talent. However, do…
Do you believe that this will actually force corporations to not suppress wages? Even if the H-1 program is disbanded, corporations have many options to cut workforce expenses, including offshoring. Not to mention that…
Our company has a culture of making it a part of the dev owner (or product owner's) job. So as part of shipping a feature / epic / task you are expected to create and update documentation. The added benefit is when…
Our company uses Confluence and I highly recommend it. I think it does a very good for keeping your documentation "fresh" because: * It's easy to search and find things * It's easy to be notified of updates * It's easy…
If these heuristics are terrible, shouldn't these companies just throw away applications at random? At least this way you don't delude yourself in believing your heuristics are rational.
what about farmed fish though?
I actually find refactoring legacy code to be one of the most challenging things I do at work. While I definitely wouldn't want to do that for all 40 hours of work I wouldn't classify refactoring as "remedial".
I think the OP wanted to make clear that domestic creditors far outweigh any foreign one so saying "biggest creditor" was a deceptive statement.
I am going to focus on US centric problems. Here are the two areas I think Americans could use the biggest help: 1) Personal finance - Americans across the board lack basic financial competency. This effects the US…
I guess it depends on how you define typical. 30% of unicorns are founded by an MBA and 80% of unicorns have an mba on their exec team: https://qz.com/176063/most-mbas-dont-found-billion-dollar-st...
The value of a company is not equal to it's revenue - that doesn't make sense. To give an example, let's say someone offered to sell you a magic bean which caused $10 to appear magically every year. Would the bean…
Big typo! I meant Dropcam, which was doing extremely well before it joined Google and then had a lot of issues with its integration with Nest.
Yes! As a former Googler, Google has a terrible track record with hardware companies: Motorola, Nest, Dropcam, Boston Dynamics, etc. I don't see this as going anywhere.
You are incorrect. This is called refinancing and happens frequently. It's possible SOFI assumed his/her debt at a lower interest rate which in some scenarios could mean a lower payment and lower term. The lower rate…
Yes, but that doesn't address the terrible terrible things Nestle did with formula in the 3rd world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9_boycott#Baby_milk_...
1) Houston is one of the biggest metros areas in America at ~6 million. Even cities with strong public transportation wouldn't have the resources to bus and train 6 million people 2) There aren't many train lines,…
While this would work well in theory, do you see either political party working to build a stronger "bill of labor rights" for Americans? Americans don't have basic labor rights like mandated vacation,…
I disagree. I think the union would or still do benefit many industries. For example, consider doctors. They don't have a union but there should to help regulate working conditions. There are so many abusive workplace…
