The point of the conference is not the official conference itself, but the meetings that happen around the conference. This is not true of all conferences, but for the JPMHC, and m…

Love the idea of the transparent shit umbrella. Some people advocate keeping the team inside and telling them it's raining. But how far does that go? Are you keeping them in an und…

Did you somehow accidentally share a selfie?

But if you visit NASA space center, and have the means, definitely do the VIP tours. The depth, the quality, the passion of the guides, are an order of magnitude better than the ge…

It would seem that Sapporo did not do enough diligence when they bought Anchor. Anchor's facilities are far too small, their infrastructure and their team not setup to brew at that…

They started selling at scale 1 or 2 days after prohibition ended. This is logistically impossible if they were truly shut down during the entirety of prohibition.

If you plan on being a Walmart lifer, sure. But what about your next job if that isn’t true? Better to be central to where the majority of companies and candidates are, where your …

Of course MBBs and others have expertise. It's just that most of that expertise is not in the industry domain. They have expertise in crafting and creating compelling arguments, in…

Yahoo still makes billions in revenue every year. And the vast majority is not from finance or sports. Baffling to some HN readers perhaps, but Yahoo is still one of the biggest on…

$200 won’t even cover the cost of the electrician’s labor. And beyond just the cost of materials and labor to actually do the thing, consider the cost of the consultation on what i…

Sales teams do EXACTLY that. Go into salesforce and you’ll see the estimates. Potential deal with client Foo will be for $X, to be signed on Y day, with Z% chance of closing. On an…

Yea, I do wonder if this will shut the door on any future high growth independent startups in the space to be created locally. DoorDash started their business doing exactly this in…

An institution can both grow revenues and increase efficiency at the same time. The ideal solution to being more efficient is also usually not by cutting budgets. Fixing policy iss…

Their mandate requires a stable financial system with solvent institutions and sufficient liquidity moving through the system. By definition, solvency and liquidity at the country …

A flat 10% cut rather than a dynamic COL adjustment? Some people could definitely make that work. A move to a no income tax state with low COL could come out very ahead. Of course,…

IC -> manager -> director -> vp 4ish years to promote up, especially the first two level levels. Velocity isn't all that crazy.

Well... The guy knows all about securitizing and trading energy. That said, do you really want to be buying assets from a guy who's claim to fame is how well he is able to hide the…
