My friends call Elon Musk, Muskrat. I thought this was a chronicle about the decline of Tesla.

I don’t believe this. Either the traders are too stupid to understand they need someone to maintain the system and iterate on it or they found and alternative in the time the original system was being developed.

Actually there are tons of empty office buildings and residential units. It’s the same situation as in New York. Plenty of landlords can afford keeping their prices high hoping for the eventual bite. If they lower their prices further they

I am not asking about the morality of it. I believe consumers are in their right, moral or not, to block ads, and Youtube/Google is in their right to disable ad blockers. I am wondering if someone has a solution because I would really

How many hours of YouTube do you consume in a month?

This is a good point tbh. Google did destroy the competition on the space forcing a monopoly. So if there was a similar competing service with the same content quality and revenue models, would you subscribe/watch the ads?

by DevKoala 3y ago
What is the stance of the people who work against the revenue generation of the services they consume? Should YouTube be a free service or what? It's only a semi-ironic question. Perhaps someone has a vision for how it all works out. F

My experience too, GCP is frustrating. However, there is nothing like BigQuery to me, I love that DB.

The best engineers I’ve met are business objective driven. Strong vs dynamic typing is often a secondary concern. I understand the arguments for each approach, but I’ve never understood those who are dogmatic about their preferences.

Sad for those being laid off. I wonder if the slow down in Fortnite is a reflection of the economy or growing lack of interest in the game.

Not really since they qualify for ESG points which drive the stock of the company by getting investments from ESG funds. The ponzi works.

I see, that is a fair point, people will report their compensation at peak. Nevertheless, I was still seeing 50+ candidates per job opening. Just by ranking resumes and discarding those to whom we couldn't give an interview due to time

I agree, but still, you could tell a couple of these candidates had been affected by layoffs and were willing to sign for $100k less than what they were previously making. As a hiring manager, I definitely felt the shift. It was a complete

When I was hiring in Q422/Q123, I saw plenty of big tech candidates (Google/Amazon/Facebook/Microsoft) applying to the few roles I had open, and on average, they were willing to sign for $100k less than what you see on s

Thank you for reminding me of this story. He is my favorite author.

The funny thing is that the Environmental metric is the only objective one while the Social and Governance ones can be bullshitted and manipulated. Those three things should have never been coupled. It’s all a scam.

I think you are reading too much into it. All I shared is something that helped me find a partner who enjoyed who I am and understood my priorities. I was hoping to help. The advice sure would have helped me earlier in life.

I haven’t felt attracted to someone without her own career goals since college.

This is true. Friends who learned to delegate faster than I did and focused on the harder problems “made it” much earlier than me.
