Are you under the impression the only expense a company has is payroll?

Yea whenever the idea of a company's profit is under a microscope, people often reflex to exec "greed" but it's typically because it's easier to blame a fictional disney villain, than it is to dig into the root of t

Take 100% of their salaries and profits and it would make a negligible, likely unnoticeable difference in this issue.

It is quite the juggling act: you have employees demanding to be paid more, the cost of goods/inflation steadily rising, while customers wanting everything to be cheaper. Something has to give somewhere, the challenging part would be t

I find it weird that this focuses specifically upon "short form video" as though that's the dangerous or addictive element. It's like saying drinking consistently throughout the day is dangerous without specifying whethe

My observation has been that Codex tends to hit logical/data-driven/back-end tasks out of the park while doing weird, random nonsense with even simple UI tasks. This could me needing to improve how I phrase my prompts, but it will

I know this is kinda a grampa thing to say, but can you imagine timemachining a farmer from 100 years ago to today's "capitalist hellscape" and ordering him a burger on Uber Eats...

I mean this (mostly) as a joke, however, I kinda wish US businesses would just firewall off the EU at this point (yes, I know this would mean losing some customers/marketshare and thus would never happen). But the near daily proposals

Being able to play PC-ish games without Windows (all on its own) makes this pretty interesting. Looking forward to seeing its real world performance. The fact that it doesn't take up the space of a household appliance is a plus too.

Generally speaking, when a news headline asks a yes/no question, the answer is almost always "no." Otherwise they would've have just lead with the "fact" instead of speculation (which is most of what legacy new

The idea that it's "hard" therefore we need government to save us is exactly why the program itself will never work. The problem is much deeper than law or government can fix.

Crazy to think how less government would need to act like a mom if there were one or two parents out there who were familiar with the word "no."

I think this is true of just about any technology. It will make lazy people lazier and help productive people get more done in less time. It's all about where the motivation is for each individual.

“I’m worried about younger folks not knowing how to conduct a traditional Google search.” This has a real “I’m afraid no one will know how to ride a horse when the motorcoach comes out” sense to it. The answer is, who cares? Why would a bet

Boasting a stat like who has the most VC backed "unicorns" is like ranking cities in a state by how many lottery winners it has. Let's see a chart comparing the number of top "bootstrapped" businesses and I have a f

"Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." I don't

The person who made the post should face consequences for sure, but one thing I wonder about: if during the frenzy even one person (under the impression these were being given away for free) even thought to go find the farmer and say "

Probably me just being a doofus, however, it wasn't until reading an article about this (after already seeing the product page) that I learned this was a web browser we were talking about.

I don't mean this to be as insulting as it may, but the UK government trying to police US businesses has always felt like a toddler trying to ground his mom.

Having a flying car would be nice, however I think if I had the choice which went mainstream, I would prefer a jetpack.
