If I could double upvote this I would. My most recent encounters with burnout were a result of taking on too many projects to check boxes on a promotion. I found it helped my optimism when I chased personal development over projects that I

Good books on this are 'Digital Minimalism' and 'How to break up with your phone'. I get worried that at some point toddlers growing up with tablets from day one will be unable to function as in normal society and most i

I agree and in a more enlightened future I hope we can assess companies like this on their net benefit to society and apply penalties when they act in a way that negatively affects society.

This was an earlier comment that disappeared. Frankly I ask myself consistently "what net value does Facebook add to the world?" other than being a 100% optional vice.

It’s a bit beyond my budget to buy for sentimental reasons because I owned a cheese grater PowerMac G5 and a MacPro back in my video production days. But this looks like exactly what the creative or media production professional of today ne

Google has too many hobby products for me to trust them with an actually mission critical part of my life that is my only phone line. I really need to be able to walk into a store or physical location to talk to an actual person. Plus the a

This is not a surprising headline. If you have values about privacy, decency, civil discourse, honesty or integrity you wouldn’t want to work there. Also, if you feel the company was collusive or willingly complicit in the dissemination of

Even as a DINK millennial couple with a combined low six figure income a home purchase feels like a poor investment. Not only the down-payment of $100k+ but the property tax increases and then having to pay that mortgage for 30 years. Since

It astounds me that Facebook still has as many users as it has but that there isn't also an exodus of employees from Facebook. You have to be really drunk on the koolaid to think that your company is doing anything good in the world. T

I feel like this might be an opportunity for a larger provider to buy up this infrastructure for what would amount to pocket change for them.

This argument conflates a number of issues and frankly loses steam on that basis. The running list of demands so far: Don’t sell facial recognition, don’t work with the government, kick a paying customer off of your system because of who th

I made a similar calculation a while ago when I moved from working at small companies to enterprise level tech and cybersecurity positions. My goal is to maximize the amount of money that can be made without the stress, pressure and demand

So glad my Google+ was deleted long ago and subsequently deleted all my Google products. Not sure why people give these crappy ad companies (Google, FB, etc) all their data.

I was done with Facebook several years ago even before I knew they were complicit in the subversion of our democracy. And recently I deleted my last Google account after moving domains, voice number and email to other providers. These are m

Too late. I am already done with Google as I was done with Facebook a few years ago. There seems to be no end to the privacy issues and user exploitation that crops up. If it isn't one thing it is another. These marketing / ad tec

"Find your passion" breaks down when we assume that every passion should pay our bills. Sometimes a job is just a job and our passions can be pursued because we are willing to put in 40 hours plus. Some passions do pay but don&#x2

Some companies require a degree, others will hire you but hold you back from some Senior level positions/professional advancement until you get a Bachelors degree. It comes down to what is an HR filter and what is nice to have for nego

I had this happen because of a closed AWS account with 2FA that locked out my longtime Amazon.com retail account. The 2FA factor was a business phone number that I had given back to my former employer a couple of years ago. The best that AW
