I think this is more of a showroom for delivery. There are other ikeas within a short drive that are more in line with the industrial park warehouse setup

That feels a little reductionist. You’re paying for stuff like order tracking, customer service, easy tipping, a way to talk to the delivery driver, and a centralized place to choose stuff. I don’t think those things are worth the price any

it sounds like this elderly person is making horrific financial decisions. nearing the end of life and investing in risky equities and changing significant investment allocations after hearing a 12 year old talk

Just want to say I agree with your entire interpretation

I sort of agree with the overall sentiment of this (I oppose the death penalty for many reasons), but this does seem like a mild exaggeration. Less than 20 people get the death penalty per year in the US, and they are isolated in a few stat

Managers are not somehow exempt from this line of thinking. Firing someone is labor intensive for a manager and will actually reduce their power. No one wants to fire anyone, especially lately. This is clearly the result of corporations de

Yes. It’s the default messaging app for iOS, which is very popular in the US. It has strong network effects now. No one I know in the US uses WA unless they are immigrants. Everyone else is iMessage, snap, or SMS for android

I really don’t understand the criticism of duolingo. No one who uses it thinks of it as teaching fluency but the criticisms always seems to frame it that way. It’s an enjoyable app to help you get the basics of a new language. I’ve seen it

If you’re staying for a while or with a big group, airbnbs tend to be good value still and come with some things that are really handy (kitchen so you don’t have to eat out every day, large living rooms etc). Otherwise hotels are competitiv

I think a significant part of teaching is people management, then the actual teaching comes second. This might actually help teachers do things like create lesson plans. I think the challenge is the other way. Going to be really hard to gra

I don’t think he’s completely full of shit, just mostly. I personally find a whole bunch of good behaviors naturally occur and I feel mentally more healthy if I’m forced to go to the office. I get up earlier, go to bed earlier, feel a stron

I like your general sentiment and I live my life the same way, but I think it’s hard to change someone’s behavior from childhood, especially if they have been raised in a nutritional environment more fit for veal than human beings. Really h

I don’t understand the logic around transparency not giving an advantage to talent, could you expand? Certainly seems like there are counter examples in many places where compensation is public

I agree with both of you actually. I also don't bike because of all the close calls and real injuries I've seen with careless drivers, but ALSO because when I'm driving myself I feel like it's easy to hit someone by acci

Your preference is actually well reflected in the higher level IC roles at Meta/Google. You can get there by direct eng work with significant impact, but it’s more likely you are a person the company can trust with managing delivery of

It’s the same structure for PMs (ICs and managers of PMs). In general I’ve noticed PM managers spend more time in IC type of work than EMs

You’re not naive. Most of the office space (fidi and the eastern areas of soma) are completely fine. Pretty much the same as any city. Things only get worse when you go south and west. The offices are empty because of remote work, not crime

Well the truth is that you didn’t express yourself effectively. My SO has done something similar, and being on the other side of an emotional text barrage feels like someone is thoughtlessly unloading their issues onto you. Get a therapist

Do you want to get promoted or get a really good review, or are you ok with a standard review? If you’re fine with a standard review 1. Be on good terms with your manager 2. Be on good terms with your team 3. Work on some things that are hi

A lot of conclusions in your comment based on assumptions that are not supported by anything I’m aware of. I read his statements as “dealing with an extra level of inefficient bureaucracy every day is annoying”, not “these pesky lawyers won

This feels a little disingenuous. I get what he’s saying. He wants a “sprint and rest” type of environment rather than “always jogging” type of environment. His statements on employee entitlement generally resonate with me at a similar comp

What’s the evidence for your first statement? MySpace was a long time ago now. FB and twitter are “stagnant” but have been around for over a decade, even with other platforms popping up around them.

I do not think twitter has the ML capabilities you need to built a TT competitor, and they aren’t just competing with TT anymore. YouTube, IG, and FB are already getting pretty close. Elon would have to something pretty different than just

It depends on your position. Prestige is not really about morals, it's about selectivity and compensation. If you are in hardware or a designer, Apple is a cut above everyone else. If you are in software, it's probably Google&#x2F

there's a big difference between "we can make a reasonable estimate based on X assumptions with Y dependencies, but there is a risk we are wrong" and "it will take an undefined amount of time, estimation is useless"

well, it isn't really true. you should be able to estimate a project within an order of magnitude of time in the vast majority of instances. Think of 1 day 1 week 1 month 3 months 6 months 1 year 3 years if you had a random project, do
