Aggregate price for talent probably doesn't change. Demand for talent in key markets goes down (as companies in those markets start looking for non-local talent[1]), but demand for talent in any market goes up (as non-local compani

This is a beautiful intersection of the iconic MTA design elements with digital mapping tech, along with real-time data feeds. The video is worth the 10 minute watch. I'd love to know more about the development and backend itself. And

There used to be soooo many small interactions that happen throughout the day that right now require way too much formal structure. That's what I miss. It's those conversations in the hallway, or seeing someone in the break room

This is a poorly-worded argument, and I’m not surprised they lost. I’m no fan of domain squatters or speculators, but spase.io doesn’t pass the burden of proof here. Is is annoying that someone is sitting on spase.com for many years and r

I enjoyed the writing and exploration of different image creation formats. So novice question, but are the resulting GIFs actually different (and if so, how)? Or is this just different ways to generate identical output?

Revlon did not instruct Citibank to pay the $176.2M: > Their first line of defence is Revlon’s own statement — “Revlon did not pay down the loan or any part of the loan”. IANAL, but this seems pretty cut and dried in favor of Citibank.

This was my reaction as well. It seems to be a fundamental shift from showing human boundaries (parks, etc.) to natural clime changes. Forget "more colorful"—that's a massive change in the intent of the data that seems to b

Also, from the article: "The investors’ bid values TikTok at 50 times its projected 2020 revenue of about $1 billion..." So that's a projected revenue growth of 465%. That's still projected , but a big number.

Explicitly, the mechanism for that would be a furlough. Not so explicit, but most laid-off employees are "eligible for re-hire". That assumes, a) the company re-opens your same position, b) you still want to work for the company a

And third, nonprofit doesn't mean you don't make money . Ikea is a nonprofit. A job at a nonprofit, thus, is a job for any other entity.

Obviously. More to the point, what other incremental costs exist, if any, that would account for a $20 premium in price when cost appears to be going up by $8?

To complete the title: "Tuvalu Makes $4M/yr from the .tv Domain". From a December 2019 Washington Post article[1], there are ~500,000 registered .tv domains. The math on that works out to license fees of ~$8/domain ($4M&

With the important caveats of 1) the implicit costs of murder-for-hire are probably pretty high (risk of going to jail, e.g.) and 2) killing someone doesn't necessarily make the lawsuit go away—though that doesn't help the perso

This is an interesting way to spin an unpaid furlough... which many people are being forced to take right now. It's basically equivalent. "You are going to be furloughed for 2 weeks without pay" means, "You have an addit

Absolutely true. You have to decide where your priorities are, and what you’re willing to sacrifice. My point was the simpler one that having kids in of itself doesn’t hold you back.

My point is that having kids massively strengthened those attributes in me—and others I've spoken with. I wouldn't have been in the same position otherwise. All this is to say... it's not about fast or slow. It's about

One of the hardest things for me pre-kids was standing up for myself. Unrealistic expectations, people with no respect for your time, meetings that stretched well past 5pm with no good reason. Kids don't make that easier —and in fact,

Font selection in browsers isn't limited. Browsers don't have embedded fonts—they rely on whatever fonts are installed in the operating system. The challenge is that to ensure consistency, you need to use the "lowest common
