I certainly have. Who has experienced a loss due to HRC's email policy? I'm just curious. I mean, Benghazi had clear losses, but no firm cause that pointed to her negligence. Then we have emails with clear negligence but no obvious adverse consequence. Guess we luck out either way.
> those who are strongly opposed to HRC use the term "traitor" frequently
Those people also use the word "traitor" when they are cut off in traffic, or when the mailman accidentally delivers their Guns & Ammo subscription to their neighbor.
Palantir was founded 11 years ago, which shows there's nothing magic about the proposed 10-year exercise period. You might still be waiting for your unicorn to provide an exit (which will feel increasingly mythical, like its namesake).
I don't believe "dividends are becoming increasingly rare in the stock market". One measure of that is to compare the S&P 500 yield with treasury yield, the latter being near a historic low, but the S&P yield near a consistent 2% for over a decade, and quite attractive now relative to treasuries.
The interesting thing about Prop 8 is, a few years later, the outcome of the vote has been totally reversed, same-sex marriage is the law of the land, and it now has solid majority support. The will of the people can change in a short time. You could imagine a similar outcome for the Brexit vote, if it weren't such a permanent change.
It hasn't disappeared (Google Ngram viewer shows a consistent occurrence of "led" since 1800). It's just a common error due to (1) inconsistency with "read" (same spelling for present and past tense) and (2) the noun "lead" being pronounced "led".
These people found an ally in California's anti-mind control candidate for U.S. Senate:
"... the freedom to think one's own thoughts free from interferance such as that from Voice to Skull (V2K) mind control technology ... legislation to ban non-consensual human experimentation and mind control slavery by means of satellite weapons systems and and GWEN Tower platforms ..."
"You agree to keep confidential ... the incidents or claims leading or related to our provision of the good will" certainly implies that I'm agreeing not to talk about the incident.
The NYT article implies Tesla is not acting like other car companies.
>Ford, General Motors and Toyota all said they did not have customers sign confidentiality agreements in exchange for fixing cars that have broken down.
>Joan Claybrook, a former head of N.H.T.S.A., said requiring customers to keep quiet about repairs aroused suspicion. “I don’t know why they’d do that,” she said. “It makes it seem like they want to cover something up.”
Alt-[ and Alt-] also work. And they work even if a text field (including the address bar) is selected, whereas backspace or alt-left/right change to their text-editing behavior.
Giant web forms have been a usability disaster since day one. Accidental back button, link click, window close, session timeout, etc, increase the chance of a failure and need to re-enter the entire form. Whereas for at least 40 years desktop software has given you a "sure you don't want to save?" option.
I should point out that time travel would fix the phone charging problem quite handily. Just send your phone back in time a few hours. Not sure if there are other applications.
It's not obvious it's in their best interest to block fake reviews. If product A has zero reviews and product B has ten glowing but fake reviews, which one makes more money for Amazon? Sure there's long-term reputation risk, but that's harder to quantify.
Yep. My kids are encouraged to learn to code whenever they get the chance. Coding is problem solving, applied logic, putting abstract math to use in everyday life. They also play with Legos, but it doesn't mean they're expected to grow up to be civil engineers.
Another explanation: EVERY can of beans at a mass supermarket like Safeway has the same ingredients. You have to go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods to avoid the national brands. Many people don't have that option or choose to use it.
My local drugstore sells both kinds of products too. If it's evil for Nestle, it's arguably even more evil for Walgreens, since that's where the consumer is making their purchasing decision.
Every job I've held for 20 years has involved keeping a chat window open with my collaborators. At various times it was IRC, Jabber, AIM, iChat, HipChat; but now Slack is suddenly the one worth a jillion dollars.
Not only does the author try to avoid blame in this case, he tries to take credit for everything else: "15 or 20 venture capital firms ... account for almost all of the successful companies."
Exactly. If you think hiring is broken, wait until you try working. Working is totally broken. Why was I asked to implement X and then it was cancelled two weeks later? How am I supposed to concentrate in a room full of 40 people? Why do my bosses drive Benzes while I do all the work?
