Not exactly shocking if you’ve been following tech layoffs. Companies only need recruiters when they’re hiring.

That’s a luxury that many people in this world can’t afford.

That doesn’t matter to laid off people if most companies have a hiring freeze and there’s net reduction in tech workforce. It means most laid off people won’t get jobs until companies start growing again.

People are too fixated on the definition of monopoly. We should just focus on anti-competitive practices.

People like you are why it’s still hard to get ahead as a women. Imagine in every meeting, people assume you’re less qualified for the job before you even start talking.

I can’t believe there are many people who want to be “waited on” by servants. I just want someone to cook and somewhere to sit and hangout with friends without needing to cleanup.

They could have simply banned buying the stock using unsettled cash or margin. Instead they banned all buys and did a terrible job explaining their reasoning.

I’m sure Asians had the highest education and lowest number of kids and previous marriages, so if anything, normalized data would show Asian males are completely screwed. Normalized height would be interesting, and could explain some of th

I think a 1% wealth tax is enough to encourage billionaires to move out or CA, but probably not out or US. I doubt most startup founders would consider it when founding the company.

Currently, capital gains is on taxed on sale. Even on sale there are ways to reduce or defer it (opportunity zone investments for example). Some also donate appreciated shares to charities that are suspect (Trump comes to mind). Most billi

Presumably we would have a vaccine and something like tamiflu for treatment in a few months. Otherwise we're f'd.

What does education, healthcare, childcare, and housing have in common? They didn't get cheaper from outsourcing and automation.

I had a similar experience after my recent job search. The pay gap between startups paying ISOs and larger tech companies paying RSUs was over $100k.

Taxes average 30-40% in CA/NY, lower in WA, which has no state income tax. You are probably thinking about marginal tax rate, not average. Mortgage and property tax in the Bay Area can actually be closer to $100k, but some are paying t

With unemployment rate at below 4%, where is the evidence that we have enough automation to warrant UBI?

Better late than never I guess. It's pretty sad how little Craigslist has done to keep up with the times.

It seems like they need to charge more or operate a leaner operation. Even after excluding marketing and sales expenses, they’re still not profitable. They also apparently have 12k employees, which is way too high.

Just look at the top paid 10% of any of these engineering organizations and you will find far more managers/directors than individual contributors.

This 100%. Having been both engineer and manager, I have to say it is much harder for engineers get promoted beyond the senior level, so pay is going to be higher over time for managers.

It’s also much easier to get promoted as a manager M1 to M2 vs senior engineer to staff engineer. Managers automatically have a lot of impact across multiple teams, but it’s much harder for senior engineers to demonstrate that.

If someone already took out student loans, car loans, credit card debt, etc, then cutting out the latte (or cable or nail salon or whatever) is something that’s totally in their control and allows them to stop the compound interest on their

Options have a strike price that is close to their last round of private valuation, so you are effectively valuing them at 0, which as you say is irrational.

I’m not sure why other banks haven’t followed. One month treasury rate is already up to 2.3% now and banks can certainly lend it out at higher than treasury rate.

For many people, their phones are synonymous with the internet. That’s why the App Store being a closed ecosystem is much more troubling than the XBox.
