A computer, bandwidth, and spare time are all large expenses to large chunks of the population.

According to their last earnings call, Uber's rides business was making enough profit paying for all of R&D costs. It's been a long time since the "losing money on every ride" narrative was true.

This is usually coordinated. PR talks to a friendly outlet, gives them the exclusive on the story with the caveat that the timing is released a few minutes after employees have been informed. This lets them get correct information out, cont

There's lay-offs and then there's "I got fired this week." Does this document tell the difference? Because those numbers look about right for an industry that does have some involuntary turn-over week to week.

This is missing the point. The goal is "please write your documentation." What solution has the least friction around that for engineers? Right now, it's overwhelmingly Markdown. It's not perfect, and often doesn't

It wasn't going to be happening anyways. Those types of programs need to come from Congress, and there was zero coalition built to make them actually happen.

Isn't this the whole point of a data lake?

Yeah, but this is slightly different. This is about a business owner trying to control who can look through the windows.

In the past, the companies formed from a broken up monopoly are competitors. The company isn't broken up just along business lines.

This is the point of government and regulation. We're not going to get far relying on willpower and rational thought in individual decision-making. So we use government as tool to help use out. I can't stop myself from eating an e

This is good problem-solving. Why spend tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars building technology to do a complicated task if you can cut that effort in half or more by having somebody where a funny vest? Remember, the problem is &

This is the same logic my extended family uses when they tell me that their phones eavesdrop on their conversations to target advertisements. Just because it's possible and fits your narrative doesn't make it true. No brand or PR

The problem is that a video through the lenses isn't going to tell you anything about the experience of actually wearing one of these things.

It's the same reason that people write slide decks instead of documents. Because it works. Small chunks of information that piece together into a larger whole along a narrative timeline is the go-to document method of pretty much all o

What's the difference between setting your own rate and being offered a rate that you can choose to accept or decline? Is it the marketplace function of Uber (determining a price point between riders and drivers) that makes it differen

Don't confuse the lack of a Senate-approved director with a lack of someone in power at a government agency. There are very much people running the Department of Homeland Security.

As a manager, a big part of our job is to mitigate risk and single points of failure. If enabling someone to work like this increases risk and creates SPOF in our teams, we're screwing up letting them do it.

Most places I've been at don't expect you to ever become a lead. Senior is often a terminal role if you don't want to keep climbing. But there is an expectation that you'll continue to grow to at least a senior level.

I think what you're really seeing is how much people value a good user experience, not how little they value privacy. Killing it on the UX end has always been a thing that OSS projects and software has struggled with and lack of growth
