Sure, everyone has different preferences, which is why I think it would be ideal to both have a substantial amount of people working in the office full time, and also have a substantial amount of people working remotely full time. From the

The cost of a home office setup is pretty negligible relative to a Shopify employees compensation, so I don't think it would change anything if they did. But I would be surprised if they didn't give them anything towards it.

No, but I would do a half hour commute for it. For some people I'm sure remote works great, but it's not for me, and I am fine with paying higher rents in order to live close to the office and have a short commute.

I really hope this doesn't become a bigger trend. Shopify was a company I was seriously considering working at in the future, but this would probably disqualify them. Working from home once a week sounds great to me, but doing it full

They are also increasing the eligibility for unemployment, and increasing payments by $600 a week.

If Uber drivers are worse off, why would they drive for Uber long term? Unless you are a taxi driver, I don't think Uber has taken your job, so if you are working for them it means they are providing you with something better than what

I think you can still be held liable for whatever they couldn't charge to your debit card if you do that. Preventing them from charging you doesn't mean you don't owe them money.

You could make them give a video presentation about their project to show that they actually know how it works, not foolproof but it helps. I think it is pretty much impossible to completely remove that possibility though. I've had lot

I love small form factor PC's. Recently finished a Silverstone SG13 build, looks just like a toaster oven sitting on my desk it's awesome. Super cheap too, although build quality is meh.

A pretty visible example of this is Iran on r/worldnews. Back when there was the US-Iran conflict in early January, the front page was filled with pro-Iranian content [0]. This is after hundreds of civilians were killed for protesting.

I wish more places had hourly pricing of power, with good integrations. Would be really cool to be able to set up your appliances/AC/electric car to consume more power when it is cheap. And then you could get battery banks for you

It should apply equally to all other similar businesses in the same area. Elon has been complaining that Tesla is the only automaker under these restrictions, but no other automaker is in California so the comparison makes no sense.

The New York Times did a report on it [0]. It's important to note that not all of the increase in deaths is necessarily due to the virus itself, the lockdown could be causing more deaths due to people being resistant to going to the ho

Which right gives you the ability to operate your business during a pandemic? I think there is a reasonable case to be made that you have a constitutional right to gather in groups and leave your home even under shelter in place, but I have

To expand on that, I don't disagree that it could be happening in some cases. But I think it is very misleading to use it as a way to say that COVID is not as bad as we say. It is clear by the increase in deaths year-over-year that the

I actually agree with some of what Elon is saying around COVID - it is probably reasonable for the Tesla factory to open up partially this week, and shelter in place has gone on for too long without any proper justification in many areas. B

For all Bitcoin miners to be profitable, the global reward for mining Bitcoin must be less than the global cost. Since the reward has now halved, I think the electricity spend should also drop by half, but this may already be accounted for

I don't think we should expect an increase in price given that the halvening is well know and predictable. It should be priced in, if anything I think it would be overvalued because of it since lots of people are buying in because they

Canada is probably one of the countries most similar to the US in terms of the divide between the federal and provincial government, and it's healthcare system is largely managed by the provinces/territories. It works fine, differ

It sounds like they measures the distance the cursor on-screen moved, not how far they physically moved their mouse. So accelleration wouldn't be a factor.

Some generic Shimano disk brake, I think BR-something. Got BOS1 brake pads on it. I don't commute on it, but definitely ride at least a few hundred kilometers on it a year. They aren't particularly performant, you should always be

I can lock up the front and back brakes easily with a single finger, and haven't touched them in a couple years. And I use that bike constantly.

Personally, I've very rarely needed to replace those consumables, and I ride my bikes very hard. Only time I have needed a new chain and cassette is when I let my bike rust because I rode it all winter without washing it. And I've

Do most people really need $50 for bike maintenance? I think I've spent about $15 on my beater bike over the last couple years, just to buy a new tube and maybe some wd40. For the vast majority of people I would imagine that they don&#

The 0 cases tweet: https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk/status/12407546572631449... And to expand on the reporting of COVID for profit, I think it is possible for hospitals to be over reporting COVID cases, but I t

I think that it is a valid opinion to think that we should lift the lockdown - there is a huge cost to the shutdown, and flattening the curve was originally just to keep the hospitals below capacity, which they seem to be. However in the co

Where has this been proven? Personally I find I am much more productive in an office. And if I have to collaborate with others even more so.

The S&P crashed 35% before going up again, and is still significantly lower than it's high a few months ago. So I think it is more that the virus is not as bad as we thought a month ago (which seems to be true - projections in the
