These are really stories about banks not wanting to pay talented devs to put up with their BS.
This. Years ago I was a COBOL coder for a major financial company. The anachronistic culture - having to over-dress for office work, micro-managed email and personal phone call quotas - drove me out. Turned out to have been the best unintended career move ever.
Automate away most of the long-haul tasks and use drivers for last-mile delivery
Maybe we need a set of specialized "long-haul" roads just for carrying stuff long-distance. Instead of one motorized unit pulling one or two trailers (3 trailers in the flyover states) we could use bigger motorized unit with a couple hundred trailers. We could make these long-haul roads out of specialized materials so they're more impervious to weather conditions. I wonder if that would work...
The story isn't about news of stock sales, it's about selling not-yet-released news about the company in general that could move the market one way or the other.
It was the artificial limitation on the number of taxicabs that drove up the price of "medallians" and created the conditions which incubated Lyft and Uber

I've been a contractor for about 30% of my IT career. Your employer has much more respect for your time when you're a contractor than when you're an FTE. When it costs them $200/hr, they're not quite so glib with the "Um yeah, I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday..."

That's all the validation they need
If they had "courage" they would remove the steering wheel.
uh, finds a way
I wouldn't own an android device without rooting it
that any federal law would need to put a premium on protecting the consumer rather than helping companies make money
For the love of god and all that is holy - is there any 3rd-world country they *won't* exploit?

This - a thousand times this
I just assumed this behavior was in the original Android spec.
And this is why Linux (or Unix in general) will never reach the consumer saturation level that the Mac and PC have (yes, I know OSX is Linux)

The rear wheels were closely spaced because it used a solid axle with no differential (source: Isetta owner)
They're gamblers. Period.
