Zillow lost money, because they were hit really hard during pandemic.

This article does not mention that. Instead, the rest of the article deals with Linkedin-wisdom and hard platitudes, such that it is not possible to build a good model on someone else's data (as if Zillow even was).

Data scientists remarking on the Zillow fold, are like psychiatrists or engineers remarking on non-clients and bridges build by others. They know nothing about the business, about the constraints, about how the estimates are consumed. They end up silly, but without good information coming from Zillow, we assign value to their analysis, purely on Twitter-soundbite-ability and internet-authority.
I don't think anyone believes from a traditional value perspective that it is.

There are two elements to the stock markets:

1) The traditional element in which people attempts to buy and sell companies at good values to produce a return

2) The portfolio construction, pure supply demand element. People have money sitting around and they need to try to find a way to at least protect that money from inflation so they have to try to put somewhere. And there are really only so many options, real estate, commodities, debt securities and equity securities. Most of the time people are generally just deciding between debt and equity (bonds and stocks).

Right now, debt is historically unattractive so everyone is in equities because it's better than bonds. ETFs further entrench this because most of the retail market is just dumping their money into things like "growth ETFs" that are going to buy things like Docusign because it's sector is "tech" regardless of if any of those people would actually personally invest in that company.

This is somewhat crazy sounding but it's not necessarily irrational. You do have to pick one of those categories if you want to at least try to not lose money to inflation and if everyone of them sound terrible you start looking for the least terrible.

I don't understand why the US does not push back on Chinese ownership of property. From what I understand, there are so many restrictions of owning land in China as a foreigner:

1. The property must be residential
2. If the property is commercial, a foreigner must incorporate in China
3. You may own only one property
4. You must possess a long-term visa
5. You cannot be a landlord, as a foreigner
6. You must pay a 1% deposit and an initial 30% of the purchase price to the seller in RMB, if you are obtaining a mortgage

I think there needs to be a campaign to educate the US population on how lopsided the system is. Only then will politicians start to get massive heat to enact at least equivalent restrictions. Right now its all the rich and foreigners picking away at the carcass that is America.
And then you end up with riots so the military end up killing people with guns to save them from covid.

Enterprise customers are very sticky. Once a large company has standardized on a tool like Docusign, it's very hard to get them to change because it involves changing the behavior of thousands of people. No CIO wants to deal with that. It's not worth risking the new tool won't have a feature a group depends on, the CEO doesn't using it, or, after switching, it has an outage. At this point, Docusign has reach the "No one got fired for using Docusign" threshold, so it will be around a long time.

And now that they have a huge user base, they're going to use that push out whatever new products and features they can. And because document signing is used by basically every department in every industry, there's a lot of things they can add:

Why would they be the only one ‘accepted’ in courts? For instance, when you buy a house you often have to use an escrow service to hold the down payment while the exchange of ownership takes place. Often, these escrow companies are just small local outfits. They are nevertheless trusted with a certain degree of authority and accepted as a neutral facilitator of these transactions by our legal system. In the US many (all?) states license escrow agents to make this work. There should be a similar system for licensing electronic signatures either at the state or federal level. Otherwise the acceptance of one private party over the other amounts to a government-granted monopoly, which goes against how a free society should work.

> Well, yes,you have rediscovered a core theme of criticism against the capitalist, consumerist mode of production anarchists and other leftists tend to raise, together with commodification.

I think this is a much more fruitful (if ultimately tautological due to its very definition) form of argument; you're a modern socialist and modern socialist mores drive your criticism. That brings up two questions for me:

1. What's the point of bothering with commenting or thinking about cryptocurrency at all? Cryptocurrency is all about a belief in some market, which socialists reject. It would be like a market libertarian criticizing the Soviet Union on the basis of not having a market; ultimately fruitless.

2. Do you voice similar opinions on all capitalist issues in which marketing and commodification are present? It would seem from a perspective of utility that cryptocurrency is probably one of the least harmful examples of this phenomenon. Do we disagree on our utility metric? Does utility not factor into your ethical judgement (e.g. are you a virtue ethicist)?
IANAL either, but this is correct as far as I know. Even verbal acceptance is legally binding. In fact, technically, everything you say is legally binding in some way or another.

But it's not about whether something is legally binding, it's how much deniability you might have in court, and what sort of evidence is admissible in the first place.

These legal hurdles make it easier to establish that someone accepted a contract based on a signature than based on spoken words. That's why a notary public or at least a witness is usually involved when you sign papers involving potentially large liabilities against yourself.

I recall seeing that discussion disappear since the booster was shown to restore our immune system to a similar levels of response, even for delta, so there wasn't any expected advantage to it. (for example, see how Moderna recently discussed their clinical plans https://investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/news-release-d...)

The seasonal flu is different because it mutates faster and there are more variants of it. So each year is different enough that our bodies don't recognize it. While for COVID, so far, it hasn't mutated enough to evade our learned immunity.

Also, @eggy, your family may be more at risk from ADE because of their natural immunity than if you had gotten them vaccinated. The papers I've read discuss how the vaccines where designed to help your body avoid this problem, while the virus has no such consideration. ADE does occur due to natural infection by many viruses (such as the list near the top of this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody-dependent_enhancement), but has not been observed to occur with any of the current vaccines for COVID.

Docusign effectively does this with all of its integrations. If you run on Salesforce, it's really well integrated. And if not, they have a great API. You can programmatically generate an https link and send that to your customers as part of your existing workflow. You email them a link or even just open up a new tab / overlay a browser. They can log in with various SSOs, they sign the form, then come back to the next stage in the workflow.

This is interesting, because my (more literary than scientific) understanding of ego development includes becoming aware of an 'inner tribe' or 'multiple voices' inside one's mind which simultaneously are and aren't the self, to differing degrees. Integrating these voices, allowing them to discuss with each other, et cetera has been a method which allows great insight into problems where reaching a solution was blocked by a limited perspective.

Accessing these voices is invaluable for writing fiction, perhaps the difference with a tulpa is the level of reality and influence ascribed to a single 'not-me' voice?

I also see the ability to have an internal Socratic dialogue as requiring a kind of ego-splitting, in a way that could be conceptualized as a tulpa asking (often surprising) questions.

Made by Braun, would be disappointing if the design wasn't excellent.
One thing DocuSign has going for it and against it is its name recognition. Right now, a lot of places say they require DocuSign and for some places they are pretty rigid and inflexible so it really does have to be DocuSign but a lot of places just want the same security and authority DocuSign has to offer so the brand "DocuSign" is kind of becoming like "Kleenex" or "Coke" where people do not really care that it has to be DocuSign, they're just referring to the product offering.
Huh, you can still rightfully complain about somebody you didn't pay.

That's not what they said though, and while this sounds nitpicky it's vital to the point. You can choose between a well known accepted option or something else to save a few bucks.

Docusign is worth so much because--for their biggest customers--they effectively act as the entire operating system for the legal department. If you are a small customer, then you have not purchased the same experience.

Docusign has competitors, but every company in the space has a powerful incentive to move upmarket instead of providing basic features to small companies.

Docusign has some content marketing that hints at all of the features they sell to large enterprises.

I was in the exact same boat for several years. After repeated rejections, I took a break from interviewing for a couple years. I already had a job so I could afford to do that. I realized that I was applying for the wrong type of jobs. Instead of hands on IC roles, I targeted engineering manager roles since I have quite a bit of experience managing small teams. I recently landed a job with a FANG as an engg. manager. Even though there is a coding component the main focus is on systems design and team leadership, also I think there is less age bias for EM roles.
