Most public companies offer employee stock benefits. That matters for short-term stock price, as much as possible. But ultimately the employees are only minority shareholders, so don't have enough to actually increase value. (The main shareholders are institutional investors, who have a lot of clout.) For private companies, of course, it's a different story and the founders/board/investors often have more clout. Private companies are also less likely to grant (non-liquid) equity, but rather offer it as options, which is more like a lotto ticket.

Except for one thing: Engaged employees increase shareholder value

Because it's not just turning into shells. It's also getting rid of X and replacing them with Y. Replacing workers with workers in other geos or just replacing them with someone else, so the headcount stays steady or even grows but it's a different head.

Left out Imperva, which was bought by Thoma Bravo in January. 150 people let go while the CEO makes $15 million.

Mismanaged incentives - employees don't matter, just shareholders.

That's what insurance is for.

What's the benefit of directory submissions? 5 visits? If you think are doing it for the magic word called SEO, think again

That implies that Hacker News will be around in 20 years. Newsweek will be (in some format or another).

That's the key. It's not just online or competition lost to Amazon. The same toys were available at Target for a lot less money.

Self-driving cars are a bit of a misnomer and understanding the limitations helps to understand the potential as well.

It's like planes which run on autopilot -- there is still a pilot. In addition to takeoffs and landings, the pilot is there to adjust. Self-driving cars seem to be similar -- hands off 95% of the time (and not 100% as some might expect), but that 5% that they are hands on are critical.

Absolutely. BTW, that's one of the key issues why the Panaya acquisition was a failure for Infosys. The business strategy was right: automate for the corporate entity to increase quality and reduce costs. The problem was the outsourcers on the ground had no incentive to bring Panaya into the picture.

The TSA is flawed, not unimportant.

It should be improved, not dismantled.

But if they don't do drugs, no punishment. (Of course, welfare recipients who use drugs should get treated, not thrown on the street).

Eudora is great.

You can see a DDoS attack live for a demo of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIQUUFVE6tU

They are also doing a webinar (apologies for the link) so you can see exactly how it's implemented: https://www.incapsula.com/blog/want-to-see-what-a-live-ddos-...

Problem is data theft doesn't meet the criteria of identify theft. You can't change your SSN until you have proof of identity theft, not a data breach.
