I'm sure the various autocratic, dystopian states around the world that would love to see functioning democracies be smouldering piles of rubble are hoping that we think this way...because they certainly aren't thinking that way.

Most of the most important innovations in history (especially in the hardware and electronics space) were motivated by increasing defense capabilities, so although its great to pretend that humans can coexist peacefully, that is not the rea

> "In its complaint, X Corp. argued that AB 587 violates the First Amendment..." How in the hell can a corporation claim that it has free speech? While we're at it, maybe we should also find corporations liable for damages

I think the last several years have clearly proven that SF's polarized politics are absolutely no good at solving any problems and quite good at creating countless new ones, so it would be ridiculous for the rest of the Bay Area to fol

Greater San Francisco would mean that San Franciscans would have to give up their beloved polarized politics in favor of more moderate (for the Bay Area) and functional takes. I don't think this will ever happen - some people take too

Cool data. Now for the real-life implication and meaning of those nice numbers, for the SW industry : - low unemployment + high employer demand for new positions + high wage growth = hot job market - where the market was in 2016-2021

Clearly you've not been in a job search and can compare the software job market in 2016-2021 vs now. The market is not 'hot'. Warm, maybe. Lukewarm, definitely.

Feeling bad for the the folks? That's high-grade levels of naivete. The definition of crocodile tears. He's been on the board during his whole 'leave from the company' (read : very long vacation) and had pull to make sur

Or, imagine smart, young Americans trying to make a living in a high cost of living area like the Bay Area, having their life FUBAR'd by a selfish exec. Most likely as they just told their previous employer that they're leaving th

I'm convinced that the main reasoning behind this is that it implicitly keeps employee retention higher than with WFH, where employees are free to learn skills that are beneficial to THEM in their free time, and interview much more eas

Idea : the executives who paid for this article could instead choose to organically grow profits instead of using the cover-up of 'inflation' to price gouge and put money in their own pockets, instead of blaming the folks who are

Agreed, the lack of respect for yet another thing that we all pay into (Community Colleges) is appalling. I remember that in high school, if you said you were going to Community College, you would be looked at as some kind of failure when i

The thing that gets me is that nearly every single podcast or article that talks about admissions and how fair/unfair they are focuses almost solely on Ivy League schools and leaves out the state and local colleges/universities th

Everything is completely and totally under control, comrades, no need for panic! These sort of statements by the Russian government truly invoke Chernobyl-like images in my mind ; deception piled upon lies piled upon misinformation with a c

Let's take a moment to appreciate some excellent minimalist UI of this site and especially the slides on this topic. Simple. Clean. To the point.

I'm still unclear on how that could be accomplished. Its pretty obvious that most companies larger than startups are unwilling to fully embrace remote work and need to make themselves feel good about the money they invest into their le

How are tax dollars supposed to help prevent the need for commutes? By subsidizing remote work? I truly cannot follow the logic, curious to hear what you mean. Public transport has been proven time and time again by numerous studies to be o
