"15 years ago" is funny, because Siri couldn't even do either of those functions on desktop 7 years ago [1]. It's crazy how they've managed to do nothing with a winning hand. [1] https://reddit.com/r

It's also not just her wealth but her personality. For better or for worse, someone as headstrong as her attracts a certain type of person, and the article showed that even her own husband was afraid of getting involved... > Bi’s hu

It doesn't have to be the whole world, just their inner circle. If people are that reluctant to admit fault (50 times!), then that's a dismal statement on how often we see truth in society overall.

Yeah, I'm surprised someone who's been working at over 50 companies in only 3 years wasn't caught sooner. Some of the stories are wild enough that they had to have been shared with others at the time.

I've always been suspicious about how many brand-name products that I wouldn't give a second thought about in a store were marked as D or F.

I don't want to sound like I'm victim-blaming here, but the reality is there's no free lunch. Investments are not risk-free, and, as you've discovered, there's a reason you got these properties at such a low cost. I

I know someone in the Bay Area AI-adjacent community who went through that exact rapidly-escalating psychotic break in a highly visible and well-documented fashion. This started last year, and he's now in jail. The risk only increases

The news reports are saying a lot of explosions happened at hospitals. Considering that pagers are still in common use by Western doctors, I'm wondering if they considered hospital staff to be acceptable casualties.

While this is true, it's also funny to note that Apple was only founded in South Bay because Jobs and Wozniak wanted to be close to their families. There was already talent in the region, but the origin of that talent started the same

In a way, this might end up being a blessing in disguise. It's an emergency drill for something potentially catastrophic (e.g. massive cyberattack, solar flare), and it's a large enough wake-up call that society can't just ig

This is literally a black swan event that'll be memorialized in textbooks, and that's not even considering the actual fallout that will follow.

Whoops, I linked the wrong comment. I meant to link this one [1]. Anyway, seems like there's potentially a whole trail of compromised and fake accounts [2]. Someone in a government agency somewhere is pretty disappointed right now. [1]

Given the details from another comment [1], it sounds like both maintainers are suspicious. Lasse's behavior has changed recently, and he's been pushing to get Jia Tan's changes into the Linux kernel. It's possible both

WSB has more actual discussion, while people mostly see /r/pics on their feed (because it's a default subreddit) or scroll through really quickly (because it's easily-consumable content).

That's a wall of text, but I think you're misreading the general context. > this is happening just as news breaks about layoffs at CloudFlare. Err, you have this backwards. The news broke that there weren't layoffs at Cl

True, there are some very dysfunctional cases. In general though, if a manager disagrees strongly enough, they can protect their reports. Yes, it might impact their personal career, but it's weird to criticize HR for just following ord

To continue the dubious analogy, having too many girlfriends isn't a sufficient cause by itself. There's a metric used to determine which girlfriend is dumped, and that's the real reason that specific relationship ends.

Isn't severance basically said notice? If you still receive pay and benefits for a period of time, it's almost like you're still employed while the company minimizes potential damage from laid off employees. It's also co

I'm not sure about that last part. A meal that lasts an hour is on the long side while a concert is several hours long. In my area (San Francisco) and experience, it's like $20 for a dinner or $50 for a concert. FWIW, I also opera

I find it interesting to consider other forms of entertainment that aren't commonly thought of as such. Case in point, food is a form of "entertainment"; you need the basic nutrients, but those can be supplied very cheaply. I
