Can they attach a helium balloon on top to reduce the left requirement?

1. Jobs/Work

2. Most people don't like their jobs but suck it up. The 9-5 grind, climb-ladder, can't switch careers, lack of meaning, social pressure to have job. Getting laid off, searching new job, financial downsides of being unemployed

3. Restructure the job model/market (flexible choices, live comfortably, security)

Its not like the Dalai Lama is promoting an armed revolution or uprising in Tibet. He's a chill dude with a peaceful reasonable message compared to Milo Yiannopoulos.

Most people understand that like trading in anything used, you get what you bargain for. The quality varies, prices vary and you risk buying crap sometimes. Don't like that? Pay a bit more and buy extended warranty or precertified cars.

To sell your car, there's KBB, carmax, cars.com and any dealer you want to buy a car from.

Beepi was just one of the many options (no hassle no haggle). However, instead of being a marketplace like cars.com, it took ownership of the transaction probably with hopes to take a bigger chunk of the transaction but effectively became a dealer. Car dealer margins are like 2%. At a 5x multiple, it would be worth 10% of Sales.

Try buying an RAM upgraded Lenovo from Amazon. I saw the reviews and didn't believe it because I never had a problem w Lenovo's from Office Depot. Bad idea.

So then Amazon is not a success either?

The student loan bubble will burst putting colleges out of business or cutting back hard- and as before the public will bear the brunt. from 3 years ago and it is still growing with no slow down http://ijr.com/2014/06/149516-mark-cuban-predicts-burst-stud...

Why don't companies fight the IRS to allow the tax from exercising stock options of non-public companies to be deferred till the stocks are traded. After all if there is no real gain why be taxed on theoretical gain?

Time for a Bay Area tea party?

no - it will be Microsoft

This is sad. I thought I'd be able to see a map showing green as part of the rail line that was complete or percentage complete. It just has some random project names where there's some work going on. I drive to Fresno every other month and cant wait to ride this, but nothing on the route seems to indicate any urgency to complete this project.

are the transactions sold with the personal information? xyz bought these things this month. Seems hard to believe, although I'm sure they may do this after anonymizing the user's personal information.

Why $100K makes sense. Data from 2014 showing how many H1b and the average salary for the top H1b seekers. The legit companies are paying on average >$100K

<the Chinese worker makes a deposit in a bank > From what I've heard, banks make loans to friends and politically connected to invest in projects who also siphon a lot of the money away- and when the project fails, the loans are written off. Which is why the public doesn't trust their money with the banks anymore.

This is standard and included in any large company's employment contract. They can't afford not to have it as some sort of fear inducing defense. Accept the offer. Then send a written request to your HR contact for permission to continue working on your current side projects that make money and don't directly compete with Amazon. You will most likely get it. Cross other bridges when you reach them.

Most companies rarely pursue this unless and only do it for very senior folks involved in ground breaking future strategy. As an example, Amazon didn't go after Instacart. Google hasn't gone after their self-driving folks that defected, and I bet they had similar agreements.

I was just wondering the other day, why none of the richest people in the world were doing more to help solve or bring some relief to the Syrian crisis/refugees. I guess you need heart not money to be generous!

I can't imagine Apple did this deliberately. Most large companies are aware that the PR costs of such mistakes are higher that the costs and would never deliberately try to screw over workers. It was probably an oversight by one/some of its managers or vendors. Spend enough time auditing any Fortune 500 company's worker policies at a plant, warehouse or retail store and I'm sure you'll find similar examples. Like the recent 60minutes covered 'Google driveby lawsuits against stores'.

I can pretend to be listening to the wife while my ears focus on the game score from the TV?

<You'd think word would get around, but they've been doing it for years.> If you aren't naming the organization yourself, why would you be surprised word hasn't gotten around.

its boring right until before the end. Worth it to stick around if you haven't read the plot

network effects. If you are a marketplace or service you need both sides ramping up fast- the more users you get the more valuable it becomes and easier to attract more and so on.

The problem is when Californians start to move elsewhere, they raise prices in those cities too. e.g. Portland, Bend, Seattle.

Maybe it will have technology (GPS, Live Traffic, Cameras) to not go on that street until it is good to do so.

Yup- there's the GM and Ford way which will take forever for all the bureaucratic reasons their lawyers will create- and then there's the Tesla way.

I live in the SF peninsula and don't think the traffic is terrible. Mostly 20 min to get anywhere. There are a few places 101, 85 and 280 that are busy during peak times in some directions, but other than that, its pretty similar to most other cities I been.

That's a win? No Jail?

There's no data on this because no company discloses how many contract workers they use. The DOLabor last studied this in 2005. The best data is from the software companies that manage these programs for Fortune 1000 companies and they say it is 35% -distributed among agency temps, ICs, consulting companies and part time. The report is behind a signup requiring business email http://www.fieldglass.com/resources/reports/2015_2016_state_...

I was on a flight recently and the lady next to me had a large Samsung phone on which she was constantly playing games, etc. and I was very worried.

I was also afraid of questioning if it was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 because the attendant made an announcement saying people should turn it off and she didn't. Next time I'm not going to be afraid. Can't imagine the consequence if it caught fire at 30,000 feet.

Microsoft should just forego consumer apps and devices. Almost all of their late to the market ideas are light weight, copycat, throw money efforts with no originality or differentiation.
