I can't imagine a self-driving car request via an app could be accomplished without _someone_ knowing / tracking your travel patterns. You can't do cash transactions because that would be rife for smash-n-grabs from others.

I agree that both of the airlines have incentives to cover it up, but it's strange this is being "reported" as verified.

The thing I'm wondering is: are quality issues happening elsewhere? Or are we caught in an anti-Boeing hype cycle? I'm skeptical whenever the media really grabs hold of a narrative that's so one-sided.

It cites a layoff, a change in the stock price, and a few assumptions about how Foley generally isn't good at their business operations. Then it goes into vague platitudes about how a business is more than an idea. It doesn't mention anything of substance.

Works for the clickbait though.

FWIW, I've worked from home since 2020 for a company that is remote friendly. We've had employees that want to work from home but they don't do very much work when they do. Doesn't go for everyone but it's my anecdotal experience.

To draw an analogy, should every business owner with physical goods only sell and distribute their goods through Amazon and/or Walmart? Yes, their size provides many benefits, but also has dramatic costs to their business and impacts how customers are served.

My company used to bank with Bank of America. It was awful. They seemed to have no concept of how to work with small business or a tech startup. We moved to another bank (not svb) and it's been a much better experience.

Only leveraging the giants of a given industry is not good for innovation nor specialization.

For anyone interested in trying to figure out why they like a particular photograph and how to find their own style, I recommend Pat Kay on YouTube. He has a wonderful Visual Language series that has helped me put shape to my preferences. He does videos on editing, as well.

Happy shooting!

The statement is to the market and to potential hires that they have runway. Showing how much money you've raised gives prospects (customer or employee) confidence that you will be around for a reasonable amount of time if they make bet on your business. Plus, it's social selling. Investors do due diligence. I can trust that this business has good fundamentals if VC X invested in them (in theory). I don't want to invest my budget, infrastructure or - heaven forbid - my time on this planet, on a place that's going to disappear.

Lots of startups solve meaningful and interesting things, but that doesn't matter if they can't show they have enough money in the bank to keep operations running.

How did that lack of performance oversight work out for Nedry anyway? Oh...
