Well, if he has a rock-solid benign explanation, why doesn't he come on the stand and testify?

Google owns a chunk of Uber, so I'm not sure they'd want to wipe out their investment?

So... paying to level up is not 'cheating', but using a bot is? I don't think the distinction is as stark as Niantec would like one to believe.

I think, basically, Uber will pay some $$$ to make the lawsuit go away and "license" Waymo's tech (which they already had, courtesy Mr. Lewandowski, but now will legally have it).

The theory behind Kopi Luwak was that the civets knew which (coffee) berries were perfectly ripe, so ate them; in the process, pooping out the seeds (coffee beans). Once humans fou…

So you can track the bike as the thief rides away with it? :D

2 blocks from where I live... dammit! So close, and yet so far...

Sounds like pump-and-dump to me. From what I could gather (albeit I'm not very familiar with financial engineering): the Chinese stock market is hot, and P/E of 100 is not uncommon…

Just see SF's white-hot realestate market. I can only wonder what the hell is going on: so many houses are going for up to 50% above asking!

From the article: > 3MB of those being the CSS/script

A judicious use of xargs, curl and grep would have done it in 1 line in Linux. I looked at your PowerShell code; that does look a bit complicated compared to what Linux offers.

Because in the end it was performance based. If your performance was good, you could continue to work from home. So you could have fired the low performers directly (if you wanted …

Just search around in HN for, say, "Yahoo core business", in the last couple of years. Here's one story: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2015/12/03/yaho...

Yahoo, for long, had a market cap much below the value of all of its assets (including $BABA). One reason why it was undervalued was because the market didn't believe that they cou…

FTA: > Collectively, the five are among the biggest investors in research and development on the planet. According to their earnings reports, they are on track to spend more than $…

Yes. Most people forget these details and just hate on "Oh noes! Working from home was banned!!".

Yahoo's policy affected about 180 people. That's about 1.5% of the company. Of those 180, about 60 were allowed to WFH. "Firing" 120 people in such a convoluted way is stupid. But …

You can keep finding tenuous connections, but in the end, there's no proof. It's all speculation, with assumptions, biased interpretations, etc. When you don't want to accept the o…

She's still in the Army. Her ability to talk freely is very limited right now. Only when she's discharged will she be able to talk.

At $5B for 12,000 employees, that works out to about $400,000 a pop. Each employee could have been given an apartment in many parts of the country... :-) I'm not criticizing, just …

If you have to travel, then would you rather spend the 15 hours in Economy class or First class?

The investigation is ongoing, and the results will be announced by the end of the month. You are already passing judgment that they should not be held accountable, when you don't h…

> Since it doesn't seem that Graves or Thuan did anything wrong Wait, what? Did you read the article? If Fowler reported her problems to Thuan himself, then he most certainly bears…

That is assuming they're telling the truth. Won't be the first time a business blames "overpaid labor" for its woes.

I like to say (not sure if it's original or not), "anyone who says 'money doesn't buy happiness' has never traveled First Class". I got bumped into FC once, and it. was. amazing. E…
