The problem is compounded by the fact that students do not get to choose who their loan servicer is and thus a few servicers like Navient have a government approved monopoly on that business. Can look up many reports on their incompetence and misleading information that funnels students into repayment plans that maximize their own revenue.
Highly doubt it. All the employees who came forward were jr customer service agents. Would anyone actually believe that board members would even know who they were, track them individually down and know why they left the company?
A lot of people travel and need luggage as well. I’m not suggesting Away would ever be worth anything close to Nike but is it realistic to think it could be worth several billion? Sure.
do you not think the reporter put that in the story to induce you as the reader to have this very reaction?
i think her actions were wrong, but i also think this setup at the beginning of the story has nothing to do with the actual issue at all and was meant to turn readers on the CEO from the get go before you had even read anything about what she had actually done.
The reality is that many successful high profile founders, including Gates/Zuckerberg/Spiegel came from wealthy backgrounds. It speaks more to the power of a strong social safety net when it comes to entrepreneurship than anything else, but shouldn’t by itself make you hate someone.
I don’t really understand why people say a tax on owned capital is so far fetched when we are all okay with property taxes which is literally a wealth tax on a subset of owned capital. The only difference is that property taxes are regressive and not progressive
A middle of the road developer can make all of those things. You don’t need a 10x ninja in SF who demands 500k/year to do that. Highly doubt Schwab has really been competing on salary in SF for tech roles as is.
It’s pretty disappointing. Their share price has been completely flat since IPO. I’m surprised shareholders have not revolted against Jack being a part time CEO. Clearly there needs to be some dedicated focus to clean up the app. So much potential to be so much better.
Not sure what you mean by “super placebo”? Doesn’t seem right at all. The reason why these drugs are more effective in combination with therapy is because they, speaking from personal experience, “unlock” your mind in a way that can be conducive to objective self-examination.
LAX international terminal tip: there’s a “secret” security check entrance on the baggage claim level meant for people who are connecting (and therefore needing to pick up bags) but they will let anyone use it. The regular security line can be huge and no TSA pre-check for most int’l flights.
Not really following your logic. Why do you care as a customer if there’s variation in KYC requirements from vendor to vendor?
Also not sure why this makes handling ID information “safer.” The vendor using this service still has access to all the images (ID and selfie) and data returned to them from this API that they can store a copy of on their own servers forever. This is not like your Stripe analogy where you only get the token and not the actual card number.
You act like that doesn’t happen here...I just read a story in the LA times on how organs are being harvested from the recently deceased before a proper investigation can take place
Their stock has been decimated. Tempted to still short it at this price. Very clear it’s not much more than a feature that has quickly been commoditized.
Generally these coupon sites all make money the exact same way - through affiliate programs that pay them some % of the purchase price for referring a customer to their site.
