This sounds like a best case scenario for a super-spreader event, no? Lots of air-exchange and HEPA filters in HVAC seems like a far more effective solution.

Are we really going to pretend that only progressive Californians decided to build wind and solar in TX? Maybe, people in TX are larger than only their politics and decided to take huge risk building a lot of wind and solar on land being u

I had a friend who worked at Planet labs for a while - he had the craziest stories as to how laser based communication systems worked. He even had a co-worker who as a physicist had thought through how communicating with lasers between lar

Yeah, this was also my first thought. Granted, TikTok and Bytedance although they exist in the US are basically operated just like their 996 sweatshop brethren in China.

Yeah, definitely this. It's another gen-z fallacy that continues to encourage me to have nothing to do with that generation as someone on the fringe of the millennial / zoomer label.

Why would you tell strangers a) your real identity b) where you work? This is why I think TikTok is moronic. That said, it's sort of insane that this is a legal reason to fire someone, insane that employers can still claim it's

This is why I left Manhattan - especially in a new world where remote work is the new norm. I miss it, but I don't miss literally living in a box or the noise. Fortunately, I got to live in an insanely nice luxury apt (30% under marke

For me it all has to do with time and utility. I generally keep an iPhone for three to four years, that said I don't buy a ton of fancy add ons or chargers. I did upgrade to a top of the line iPhone 13 Pro before a work trip to London

I feel like this is a question of what you're willing to be a slave to and realistic expectations as to how truly "wealthy" people have second homes. For example, my parents love Cape Cod - they've vacationed there for n

Big no thanks to this. If you hate where you work this much, improve yourself and work somewhere else. Replacing at-will with "just cause", progressive disciplining, with criteria for performance improvement plans. If you&#

This is not intended to be political - all politicians are corrupt. That said, if only we could've saved a few of the billions we sent to Ukraine or Iraq and use that to pay for healthcare for common Americans. Fortunately as an engin

If you want to break the $200k TC barrier - leetcode seems to be the way to do it. Does it suck? Yes. Is it basically the only way to make real money in tech aside from toiling away with startup after startup. Also yes, from a person wh
