Right, so what happened is that, almost two weeks ago now, 6,800 people in the US were, practically speaking, laid off in the middle of the night with no warning whatsoever. All of their accounts were disabled, their badges were deactivate

Why shouldn't an L9 get laid off? They even laid off some VPs (including mine). The layoffs hit all up and down the org chart. The most senior people are also the most expensive people, and considering that layoffs for cost reasons

As far as I'm aware they wouldn't have known it was coming and wouldn't have been able to volunteer. I haven't heard of anyone who was voluntarily laid off. As far as I know you were either (seemingly randomly) laid of

All of the issues you just mentioned are much more expensive on a per capita basis to deal with in spread-out car-centric suburbs than in dense cities. Indeed if these are the issues that you actually care about them you should be champio

Devil's devil's advocate: The world is not static. No one can reasonably expect nothing to change over the course of half a century. The only constant is change itself, and you have to deal with changing situations. Maybe it made

I live in a high rise and it's quite nice compared to a lot of the available alternatives at the same price. And the one I live in was built 7 decades ago, so imagine how nice a new one would be!

The reprieve in the short term would be lots of new housing built as quickly as possible, to help alleviate massively rising rents. High interest rates preventing construction of new, desperately needed housing is exactly the opposite of wh

This shouldn't come as a surprise to you, but people advocating for the use of EVs to solve emissions problems are almost universally also arguing for lower emission sources of grid power, like solar/wind. The two go together like

What argument do you think you're making here by referring to the layout of the periodic table? You might rather refer to a color-coded periodic table which shows which elements are gases and which are solids at room temperature. That&

I'm talking about falling far behind competitors in EVs. Which they have. EVs are the cars of the future, and they're flailing around wasting time on hydrogen instead.
