Submarine article?

I really liked the old Qwest Ride the Light ads for the same reason. Here's the jukebox one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdq_kH9mgS4

I don't think it's a particularly active community but http://thefunded.com/ started offering this in the mid 2000s

I'd suggest asking what is uniquely beneficial about Tallinn that will make your business more likely to succeed. Lots of places are cheap and the two exceptions you identify, tale…

I believe you independently derived a very old, but lurcrative, idea. Kontera started off back in 2003 although I don't recall when they actually got to double-underline links. Vig…

I think these are all excellent points but may suggest that you would not be an ideal customer for an early stage company. On the other hand, painless mutual disqualification as fa…

May I ask what you find compelling about Sunshine? I really, really wanted to love the film and I did for the first 2/3. But it felt like the final act lost its way. Maybe I just l…

I don't have high hopes for historical accuracy but i'm excited to see The Current War which puts some of these topics to film: https://youtu.be/wMECv6yLOFM

Do you mean generally positive for [the stock price] or [potential earnings]? Seems like while layoff announcements generally would improve earnings they hurt stock prices. It may …

I'm not sure I fully understand, this would be pay walls on everything wouldn't it? If so, I agree it greatly increases pricing clarity but I'm not convinced it's an improvement ne…

You forgot the largest plus: Ads pay for many useful and enjoyable services that are free for the consumer (or cheaper). Things like broadcast television, local news, most of the i…

The key is that you need to align incentives for employees, investors, etc by demonstrating a long-term commitment to the company. Lots of more nuanced discussions of this topic ex…

Yes, completely tiny, but great if you'd like to rent a Cessna for a few hours. I'm sure the extra detail helped a few people :)

Correct... but there was also a bad joke in there.

Fair enough, as long as you don't tag us SQL :)

It's probably surprising because most companies design compensation programs that are normalized on [talent and geography] rather than talent alone. Sounds like your company has a …

Well, to be fair the stuff that generates 90% of their revenue IS what's pushing organic results further down the page.

R&D costs are, by definition, operating expenses and thus should NOT be subtracted from gross margins. The opinion piece you link states: "Gross margin is generally considered the …
