Its employees in the Bay Area will simply work full time from their homes, coffee shops, or wherever else they choose.<br />The truth is, employees were doing that anyway, Quart's Oliver Staley reports. So CEO Matt Mullenweg looked at the incredibly beautiful but mostly unused office and decided there were better ways to spend the company's money. <br /><br />"Automattic has been a fully distributed company since the very beginning, so the SF office was always an optional coworking and event space," company spokesperson Mark Armstrong tells Business Insider. <br />Of the company's roughly 550+ employees, only about 30 of them live in the Bay Area anyway, Armstrong confirmed. The rest of them are scattered across more than 50 countries, the WSJ's Christopher Mims reports.<br /><br />http://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/1-billion-startup-Automattic-is-closing-its-San-11214242.phpDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-30014834939801063142017-06-12T22:32:52.010-04:002017-06-12T22:32:52.010-04:00Hillary Clinton keeps barking like a junkyard dog ...<i>Hillary Clinton keeps barking like a junkyard dog to anyone who will listen that it was everyone’s fault but her own that she blew the election, again.

Comey's stories of conversations with the president, plus the fact that he was fired, ostensibly as a result of the Russia probe, make him potentially the star witness in the case.<br /><br />Which brings up an intriguing legal question. Comey is a good friend of special counsel Robert Mueller — such a good friend, for about 15 years now, that the two men have been described as "brothers in arms." Their work together during the controversies over Bush-era terrorist surveillance has been characterized as "deepening a friendship forged in the crucible of the highest levels of the national security apparatus after the 9/11 attacks," after which the men became "close partners and close allies throughout the years ahead."<br /><br />Now Mueller is investigating the Trump-Russia affair, in which, if the increasing buzz in the case is correct, allegations of obstruction against the president will be central. And central to those allegations — the key witness — will be the prosecutor's good friend, the now-aggrieved former FBI director.<br /><br />Is that a conflict? Should a prosecutor pursue a case in which the star witness is a close friend? And when the friend is not only a witness but also arguably a victim — of firing — by the target of the investigation? And when the prosecutor might also be called on to investigate some of his friend's actions? The case would be difficult enough even without the complicating friendship.<br /><br />http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-is-robert-mueller-conflicted-in-trump-probe/article/2625638Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-5997903604406470292017-06-12T19:11:09.628-04:002017-06-12T19:11:09.628-04:00Sessions was Trump's biggest mistake.
