The benefit for employers is there are a lot of workers who are there now solely for their family health insurance coverage. I have a feeling this has prevented earlier action by employers, but now it’s past the tipping point.

To the other response I can’t reply to - WeWork is also benefitting tremendously from all of the new build outs. Like hotels, condos, and apartments even the cheaper ones are nice when they are shiny and new. 10 years out, they aren’t goin

I can’t speak authoritatively about this specific instance, but I use multiple unlinked google products across multiple devices and they absolutely split test UI changes. It can be fairly nefarious on the advertiser/publisher side of t

This is the dirty secret of usage analytics. Both Google and Facebook got in trouble with Apple for effectively doing the same thing by abusing internal apps - https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/31/18205795/

The biggest non-financial red flag for me was the glass office walls. None of WeWork’s non-corporate customers are doing anything remotely sensitive or important. During a downturn, these people will decide to go back to free Starbucks to h

Increasing consumer wealth is precisely why we have climate change. One would need to also implement large taxes/bans on co2 and other non-renewables and pollutants. At best this would be a net-zero situation. More likely it would redu

There is a profound difference between research and sales conferences, to the extent it seems wrong to even use the same word to describe them.

If you use that sort of rude plain language, and make a mistake, good luck.

The big red flag is when companies pre-announce products that will allegedly be released, long before they are real, but well past the due date they should have already been on the market. This whole thing also sounds a lot like VW’s electr

The Doom and Wolfenstein 3D Game Engine Black Book(s) were priced at cost, per the author. Print on demand full color is very expensive.

Or any third parties that you agreed to broadcast location data. We know the geo-location + time dragnet warrants are already used very widely with Google.

This is a two way street. They may dictate not only what is banned, but also what can not be banned. Clearly, depending on which political party or points of view held by those with the most influence at a given time will dictate what types

Releasing all of these drivers in to the general workforce could reduce wage pressure employers are feeling right now. While that might be the more ethical thing to do, no one else is going to benefit besides employers who want cheap employ

That is wrong, if you live in a wealthy country. The safe rate of return right now is a few percentage points at best. If it stays like that, and we get inflation, then it is going to be even worse (wealth shrinking happening now depending

We will see the debate go on as long as humans are working. The problem is hiring is reflexive. Hiring is a marketplace, not a static measurement. Human behavior changes in reaction to other human behavior. If someone found a foolproof meth

I’m surprised they haven’t had more responses on here already. We’ve been a customer for years, but the billing has made us pretty restrictive of how and where it’s being used.

Google’s publisher network used to be, as best as I could tell, entirely contextual to page content. I used to see CPMs anywhere from $5 - $1000 depending on the content.

You need to not only pay Google’s cut, you need to pay what the publisher makes. Then it has to be multiplied to make up for the people who do not opt in to the system. Just a rough guess, you might be looking at several thousand dollars pe

It wasn’t until I started working on my own game that I realized just how important readability was for pixel & ascii games. Producing readable high resolution art, 3D or 2D, is actually extremely hard. I like ascii art a lot, but I’m n

This is yet another case where Google probably has minimal to no benefit from doing it, but when produced collectively with other evidence in an anti-trust case will do an incredible amount of damage.
