At the moment it's allegations. The outrage should come after evidence is uncovered.
Not that it will matter in the end. Recent events have shown that you can flat out admit to drugging women in order to have sex with them and still be acquitted if you have adequate stature and fame. (Ok, I should be more fair. A mistrial is not an acquittal.)
- While at lightspeed, accusations from a female founder at a portfolio company was serious enough that the "situation rose to the broader board level, with the ultimate resolution resulting in non-disclosure agreements on all sides."
- While at Bain Ventures, a female founder accused Justin of inviting him over to his hotel room to "finish the conversation" even knowing she had a BF (not that being single would make it at all appropriate).
- Two other female founders with similar stories that don't want to go on the record
I also think it's worthy to note that all his (public) accusers are asian, as is his wife.
I just want to say that this is the tip of the iceberg...more will certainly come out soon as other young ladies step forward. I've heard many many stories of much worse (note: jailtime) things done by Binary capital. I urge those who have a platform to further investigate the matter.
I've long felt that those of us with odd relationship needs had a leg-up here. The fact that the sort of things I find sexually fulfilling aren't what you should spring on someone mid-coitus has made necessary my whole adult life a level of candidness that I don't see in the romantic relationships of my friends.
The fact that I need to have those conversations early makes a lot of other conversations very easy to have; any relationship I'm in started with one of those discussions going well.
Why mention individuals? This wasn't something dudeface did for his own entertainment. It was done specifically because the rapist was an uber driver. This was a company mishandling HIPAA data in that they never should have had access to it in the first place, let alone been sharing it around the exec staff like a pulp comic.
I will say this clearly and I mean it: If you use uber, or you work for uber, you are morally wrong. You are choosing to enrich people and a company who have shown you multiple times that they are terrible human beings who lack even the concept of a moral compass.
Not so simple. My mortgage was sold to Wells Fargo without my input. I don't want to refinance because it wouldn't make sense financially as well as it could just be sold right back to Wells Fargo.
I disagree strongly. LinkedIn's primary purpose is connecting talent with people who want to hire that talent. Spending my work time looking for a new job would be bad. Recruiting people for a new venture I'm starting while at a work event would also be bad. Doing either of these on linkedin is more than acceptable, it's the whole point.
If you are using a company account under which you represent the company, you presumably are doing things the company wants -- such as recruiting others to come work for that company. You also are subject to the company's policies, just as if you were interacting with someone in the office.
I disagree. I've been part of multiple startups; Only with the first two did I actually expect to make more money than I would at BigCo. Not because the later startups were worse, but because I was less naive.
The reason that I joined those other startups -- and the reason that I more often work for startups than big companies -- is not about money. It's about pace of career development.
Everything on my resume that is interesting or exciting was done at a startup. Every big jump in skill and in compensation has been a result of that startup mentality. Who's fixing this? Me, I'm the only one here. Who's going to deal with the fallout of my poor architecture? Me, I'm the only one here. Who learned a hard lesson? Me.
I can only speak to the cogs side of the house (I'm devops or whatever they're calling us this week).
That depends on the platform. The youtube app on xbox is prone to screwing up after a mid-video ad. Not only will it fail to restart the video, it will make that specific video unplayable until youtube is killed and restarted.
Glare. Overhead lights and the trend of GLOSSY MONITOR EVERYWHERE. If I'm stuck in an open office with overhead lights and a glossy monitor, I feel like a quarter of my attention is spent tracking moving objects in reflection.
Not that it will matter in the end. Recent events have shown that you can flat out admit to drugging women in order to have sex with them and still be acquitted if you have adequate stature and fame. (Ok, I should be more fair. A mistrial is not an acquittal.)
