Because most VC founded companies are not about results. They are about virtue signaling to attract even more capital. Profitability has been thrown out of the window long time ago. Success is measured in the stupidest KPIs you can imagine.

Well I can see your point, but this is not exactly the same. As a thought experiment imagine that someone now builds a website called Linkedout and they post your profile with a layover animation resembling a big red stamp which reads &#x27

I would say you are probably talking to the wrong audience here. Apparently those flex drivers were OK with it, for unknown reasons.

I upvoted your comment because the blog author even references that book, and the book goes into great length to make this distinction between the two. So I think it's only fair to point it out.

On Android you can use a private DNS service, for example nextdns.io which will block all advertisement on the page for you. I wouldn't be surprised if iOS would have the same option.

Exactly. I feel for you. I am in the same boat. With young kids around I was forced to wake up 2 hours earlier than my circadian rhytm would dictate and it's been a nightmare so far. I need to compensate each day with even more coffee

I find it ironic that the author points out in the first part of the post that companies are the real culprit but later puts the blame on governments. I wouldn't do such differentiation. They are equally wrong. Regarding free speech to

I don't know which industry you worked in, but outages in the telecom industry was strictly forbidden and came with severe financial penalties even 10 years ago. And those companies managed to adhere to really strict uptime SLAs even t

The real question is: what was wrong with the website in the first place?

This claim is completely false. As others pointed out the EU applies stricter and stricter emission regulations each year forcing all manufacturers to comply.

Or conversely having a public domain does not give the right to any private enterprise to do business in a sovereign country. I guess that's a pretty solid argument and that's what most people argue for.

I think that's a very strange way of looking at the real estate industry. They don't determine who gets to live where at all. They simply gather and withhold information that they then offer for a fee. In most situations the same

You mean the cynicism that the nations producing the most waste (UK, US, etc) are not part of the effort? Yes, that's very cynical of those nations indeed.

I feel for you. I also had my fair share of labor rights abuse in Japan. My experience is that only foreigners are 'brave' enough to ever bring this up, which makes the whole situation even more miserable since you cannot expect a

If you want to know, the same system happens in Japan too. When you get the offer letter it's an outline only. Then you either accept the offer letter as it is, or walk away. Asking for the detailed contract (called 就業規則 in Japanese) w

But that's not what the comment says. He says he is not neglecting the bedtime and despite of that he cannot sleep enough. It can have a whole range of reasons why someone cannot sleep, many of them out of the commenter's control,

Stop blaming yourself. Even the article mentions that it is the employer to blame. It even suggests that the solution is to show solidarity and put pressure on your employer by talking to him as a group. Otherwise I don't think there i

May I ask if you didn't have enough experience how/why were you allowed to make such decisions? Is this common in some companies that anyone can make fundamental decisions regardless of number of years in service or experience wit
