We're 100+ people and have one first thing every Monday morning. There's a set agenda that is usually speedily read through by a random "rank and file" member with executives usually only chiming in to a) clarify a point

Yeah, the DMV is probably the most difficult and time consuming part about getting a license in this US.

Thanks for the reply. I know that in the 70s (I was born in 83 so only know from history) the oil crisis occurred but I've never really grasped the that one moment in time (vs any of the other tumultuous ones in the 20th century) has l

It also keeps people working longer than maybe they want to. I've heard from several folks in one of our more open areas (15-20 people) that it's awkward to leave at the usual end of shift time because they have to walk across a r

Running into this at work now. 7-8 person spaces. We're crunching down and rearranging things now to fit in more people where necessary. Currently in the process of attaining a new building. Reason I'm reading this article: new bu

What happened in 1973 to cause this to kickoff?

Isn't San Jose's tax policies part of the issues it's having in maintaining its city?

Question regarding "averting a Detroit outcome": What was SF (and SV) like after the Dotcom crash? I was in high school at the time on the East Coast and haven't really heard any first-hand accounts of what the cityscape was

Nah. Frustrated with management at work. Maybe hoping to HN right after I got home was a bad idea.

I hate the news posted here and elsewhere about Lyft's struggles. I've found their drivers to be far friendlier and, afaik, their business practices far less sketchy than Uber in the past.

Have been here for 7 years and also see the split between transplants and those that grew up here and are just used to horrendous commutes. I drive though and wish I didn't. The start to my day has been far less stressful when taking a

It would probably never work but if someone is leaving a role, they're probably the best person to write the job description. I used to say a supervisor instead of HR, but then realized that a lot of supervisors (or equivalent) had a l

I think they should be paying taxes in California too. Seems they would rather not. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/29/business/apples-tax-strate...

It's better than nothing. And developers don't tend to want affordable housing. That's why it usually has to be enforced by regulations of some sort. They're quite cheap and want to maximize their profit (like any other

As well as denser cities. In LA, it's daily. Each small patch of grass between sidewalk and street cut or weedwhacked and the blower comes out even if a broom would be quieter and only slightly less efficient.

Same in LA. A lot of crew t-shirts and other stuff given out at the end of production. And the recently-graduated college students? College t-shirts (sometimes sweatshirts in our 'winter').

Like what? It's an at-will state so you can leave without notice and be laid off without notice. It seems that would cover the majority of circumstances and protect both employee and employer, for better or worse.

>"yes we know you are over worked, just hang in there while we hire someone to take off the load" Which may be why people that are below par haven't been let go? A need to throw bodies at a problem rather than step back an

Those are good theories. My personal one is that they just can't stop tweaking. It's not like there aren't some fundamental improvements with a lot of their services but everything needs to get touched and then it ends up lik

Honestly, I don't care if you create wealth for this country. Having a diverse population to interact with and bring their point of view to things is a net benefit to the whole society instead of cultural homogeneity.

Isn't it only after a certain amount? $80-90k?

So much this. I also liked the one period of time I used to type in my US zip code for Movie Showtimes and somehow be routed to theatres and showtimes in a town outside Naples, Italy. This was on a desktop, not a phone. Not the biggest deal

You are. The geography and neighborhood probably wouldn't allow for it and there are other nearby places to park and hike to the sign (if that's where people need to be). The shuttle idea is probably the best bet at the moment and

We have someone working remotely through Hangouts. Unfortunately, he has to reconnect a few times a day because the call quality drops after a couple hours. Have you experienced similar?

I do. Born elsewhere in NC and, went to college in Chapel Hill, and have lived and worked in the area for a bit after. Chapel Hill/Carrboro are nice, well-to-do college towns, Durham isn't too far down the road and the downtown (l

And some folks don't want to sit in their chair with a sweaty arse all day. What comes first, the bike commuters or a reasonable way to get clean at the end of a ride? I think the latter is pretty low on the list of priorities for a lo

General question: How come we're able to see his photo plastered everywhere? I thought there were laws about identifying minors?
