Still mostly staying in Silicon Valley. Plenty of companies are still hiring. Laid off Meta employees with good skills will not have problems finding another job in the same area.

The problem was that these medical officials were complicit in the economic destruction. They recommended to policymakers that the country take an extreme position on the virus and shutdown nearly everything. Hindsight is 20/20 of cour

"Hiding the poor" versus "letting the poor suffer in plain sight" doesn't seem to matter, then. If it was true that oblivious poverty resulted in more action being taken to help those in need, we wouldn't have

I really like the work being done on this project and I want to keep up, but the voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I can't listen to more than two seconds without closing.

There are so many sad, defeated looking people walking around SF. Lots of people still wearing masks, not going out, role playing like we are all still in 2020. This isn't the case in practically any other city in the U.S. SF needs to

There is a huge problem with productivity at my company. Unfortunately too many people just took advantage of the flexible work arrangements offered by the response to the pandemic. What is even more frustrating is that people refuse to own

Swartz recommends reading books or long-form essays instead, and I agree. It doesn’t even matter if they were written recently. Like I said earlier, barely anything about the human condition has changed in the last hundred years. For exampl

Aaron Swartz wrote a blog post about the news[1] and just how terrible it is for the brain. Reading his post had a major impact on me—since then I have always thought differently about the time I spend online. It’s interesting how people, i

Do you think it is better for the environment for all of Apple's tens of thousands of employees to heat or cool each of their homes individually rather than in one large eco-friendly office? How about everybody preparing their own meal

As someone who was born in the U.S. nothing makes me more grateful to be a citizen than hearing stories like this from my colleagues. Fascinating story, and a wonderful happy ending!

Commuting is not the only part of work life that has an impact on the environment. It is dramatically less efficient to heat/cool thousands of separate homes throughout the day as opposed to one large office building. Remote work could
