Of all PR, I think I may hate acquisition PR the most. It is almost entirely just lies. And the same ones every time.

Just tell us if you just wanted the employees, just wanted some rights, wanted to integrate their product for your use, or just wanted to kill something off. I'm sick of reading the same new release for every acquisition knowing it's bullshit.

> Sorry, but thats not how capitalism operates. Modern corporations are created for the benefit of share holders and they operate for only one reason and one reason only i.e. "to maximize" shareholder value [1].

Sure, but we should quote Friedman a bit more completely… “there is one and only one social responsibility of business—to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.”

The key caveats to maximizing shareholder value are that this maximization happens ‘within the rules of the game’ and when the business ‘engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud.’ A market’s ‘rules of the game,’ so to speak, are set by the government which has the power to enforce those rules.

Part of those rules include what can and cannot be made into a contract, and, in particular, what types of contracts wouldn’t be enforceable because of coercion. If an employee would lose their house because of a business’s decision (and the business has no objective incentive to warn the employee of this potential), I’d argue that most parts of the employer/employee relationship are coercive. A union can mitigate that somewhat by providing a real cost the business for not negotiating in good faith.

In addition, the ‘rules of the game’ are changed by the government, which itself is affected by large market players.

Outside of that: this is a rather one-sided discussion. I’ve given rather full responses and you’ve provided nothing other than ‘no you’re wrong, here’s a partial quote,’ and ‘what about this ridiculous hypothetical?’ Do you have any rebuttal to what I said, or is the ‘personally, I’d rather protect the employees at the risk of shareholders,’ the extent of what you can argue against?
> At most places I've been involved in the workers are more careful with money because they are standing together and want the business to succeed.

This doesn't contradict anything GP said. Worker owners are careful with company money because they have to be, due to being invested into it. That's a responsibility that not everyone wants, especially when an organization approaches the scale of tragedy of the commons. How many regular voters bother to read the raw, uneditorialized finances that the government provides?

> co-ops have a higher success rate than hierarchical businesses

This is only true when you're defining success as a binary "does this company still exist." Worker-owned companies are significantly less likely to expand because they would be creating risk but would have to share the additional profits with the new hires. This would especially be the case for a restaurant which doesn't benefit from economies of scale (see Publix supermaket as an example of a worker-owned corporation that does).

Even if Jude's can sustainably pay $30/hour, it would take hundreds of similar restaurants to match the success of a single "nice" privately owned restaurant chain like In-and-Out, which also pays above-market wages to thousands of employees, albeit not as above market as Jude's.

I am genuinely convinced that the UK is in collapse. The nhs is flattened, policing is meh, the infrastructure is pretty banged up, bills are through the roof, inflation and interest rates are mad high, and now this. Not to mention a noticeable drop in service quality throughout the private sector, with everyone blaming “staff shortage” and a government desperate to suppress the very same wages that are meant to attract more qualified staff. Seriously this is madness.

Amazon is having trouble scouting warehouse labor. Looks like they're trying to add skilled labor to the set of problems.
Absolutely right. We like to focus on how GenAI impacts developers here, for obvious reasons. I don't really see developers being impacted in the near-term, but the reality is that there are a lot of jobs that absolutely can go away soon, if we choose to go down that path. I wish we'd talk about those jobs more.

OpenAI loves to talk about a utopia where no one has to work and everyone is paid in Worldcoin (which of course Altman will make a handsome profit off of), but does anyone actually think that GPT-X is leading to this? Some of our most vulnerable members of society will soon find themselves without work, and no easy way to get new work. We don't need to wonder how we as a society will take care of them - all historic evidence points to us doing absolutely nothing.
It doesn't give them any wiggle room to lead you on, it doesn't give you any wiggle room to say 'unacceptable or I blow the whistle tomorrow', it removes your judgement of the situation from the disclosure entirely. It is the safest option for people who are great at finding things worth disclosing but not so great at situation-judging.

It's not about personal branding, it's about protecting the users of the app. Either the app fixes the vulnerability so the users are no longer in danger, or the users are made aware that they are in danger.

I don't disagree that it's possible, just in my experience the debugger VEH was fired after my application's own VEH and not before it, so the debugger did not step into the VEH. And if you want to hide something from static analysis it's not a bad way, even if it is meta to "security through obscurity". The barrier to entry for implementation is pretty low, like ~50 LOCs so it's not going to be on the level of like state sponsored malware or something like that.

>Many (most?) of these companies I've seen could have started with a smaller fit. That could test the market theory for cheap (Lean) - cheap in terms of time and money. If the fit is good one ends up with a small business with medium good margin - and a way better idea of what the scaled up universe looks like.

One model that also works before that phase but that's eschewed is consulting in the sector founders want to enter. They'll gain insight into what people say are problems, what problems people pay for, and the wisdom to know the difference.

They'll meet stakeholders between users and economic buyers who might later sign the checks. They'll build a network, gain in expertise and credibility, explore potential beachheads, hear what will be their messaging, and discover rough go-to-market strategies all the while having positive cash flow.

This works in their favor if/when they'll want to raise for they will come in homework in hand and coin in pocket. Even if they jump way past MVP like you pointed out, they'd be ahead of someone who didn't do that. Granted, it's service revenue but with money, like with a few things in life, you tend to get offered more when you're already having some regularly and can walk away.

> if it is marketed, bought, sold, and held as a money-making thing, it's a security

No, sorry, no such legal language exists and how absurd of a law would that be. Anything which goes up and down in value could be bought or sold as "a money making thing" including collectible video games, books, Pokemon cards, .com domain names, pork bellies, houses, bar codes, imported goods, rare sneakers, wholesale products, golf club memberships, Picasso paintings, etc.

There is a Supreme Court precedent called the Howey test which specifies 4 criteria for which all 4 must be true in order for something to be a security. You cannot have 3 of 4 and be considered to be a security:

1. An investment of money

2. In a common enterprise

3. With the expectation of profit

4. To be derived from the efforts of others

Notably, speculative flipping of owned assets is not considered to profit derived from a common enterprise. Speculative flipping happens everywhere in all supply chains you participate in on a daily basis. Everyone is attempting to buy low in an attempt to sell high. Everyone loves to compare crypto to the tulip mania in the Netherlands from the 17th century. While that is true in some cases, you certainly can't make the case that tulips should be regulated by the SEC.
I don't know the origins of the "disagree and commit" philosophy, but Jassy's use seems like a self-serving perversion of what is an attempt at dealing with decision deadlock.

... that is, disagree-and-commit transactionally seems like it ought to be between peers. Disagree-and-commit when applied between superiors and reports could be rewritten as just "shut up and follow orders."
That's still not a security, because if someone buys all the baseball cards, they don't control anything about MLB or have a right to its profits, for example.
Shooting the thing and watching it come down might be fun enough for some.

> If you hate it, go do it yourself.

Exactly right. All large enterprises I have worked give full freedom to devs to develop alternative to any SAAS product they dislike. As simple as that.
That's a bit harsh. Also you seem to assume American (or western?) spending habit that has no saving. If one would really plan for a sabbatical, I'm sure they would have planned financially from the six years leading to that too.
What you're describing is a good decision.
Noone is saying that restaurant employees would make $250/hour. While the rates cited in the article are higher than most employees earn in equivalent environments, the are still modest in comparison to other industries (and they are absorbing some risk by buying shares, something that most $30/hour employees don't do).

The committee that you spoke of have a vested interest in the outcome of the decisions and, in certain cases, the decision must have full support of the board. While this will have problems, it is unlikely to suffer from the symptoms that most people think of when they think of something being designed by committee.

The other thing to consider here is that this is a relatively small business. As such, it is possible to recruit a board that is more likely to share a common vision and train them in operating a business. We are not talking about a fast food chain with tens of thousand of employees and little interest in training beyond the skills to fit a singular role.

I don't know if operating a restaurant as a cooperative is viable in the long run, but I am not going to argue against it from a prejudiced position.

The Unix Philosophy:

A) Tasks should done by combinations of simple tools combined into an elegant pipe.

B) Each tools should do three things, one of them at least so-so well:

Those three are:

1) Hackily parse the output of the previous tool by flaky assumptions like that a certain delimiter is always present, that spaces will not occur in such and such an item, or that such and such a field is from this column to that one and never overflows.

2) Do the actual processing correctly and efficiently --- provided nothing in the data, exceeds a 1023 character limit, or overflows an addition of two ints or doubles.

3) Produce output in some way that is hard to parse correctly for the next tool, like columns that may be empty, contain items with spaces, or overflow so that column widths are not reliable.

> So 90% of the time when a customer will suggest joining the apple repair program it's someone who doesn't understand the pro's and con's […]

Who’s talking about customers making suggestions?
We’re talking about customers asking if they are or aren’t an authorized repair shop that’s in the program.

Customers have plenty of legitimate reasons to ask this question, and shops that get pissed when they are being asked this question will quickly lose the trust of their customers.

I can understand why shops get pissed when they’re being asked the question, because best case scenario they see the writing on the wall and know they’re about to lose a prospective customer and “worst” case scenario they are about to be confronted with the reality that someone might in fact not agree with their beliefs that a non-official part is as good as an Apple OEM part or that their beliefs that their work is on par with Apple’s certified repair processes.

But from the perspective of the customer the question comes with the implication that the customer has a certain standard they’re looking for and they are not interested in someone who doesn’t meet that standard, regardless of if the workman shares the same opinions on those standards.
> Usually “reasonable” is a cue that you are discussing a matter of fact, which is the province of the jury.
