What these numbers show is that all the stuff people claim about NYC is backwards. 1. These declines are until mid 2022. NYC's population has rebounded since then big time. 2. No, it's not crime deterring people. Crime is heading

I can't search the WSJ or FT due to paywalls, but searching Fortune.come other than the straight news (Amazon executive threatens promotions will be blocked) all the top 5 or so articles I saw are about RTO being challenging.

So much wrong in this comment including the obtuse conspiracy mongering. But I wanted to answer the simple question that's posed. The stock market is going up because company profits are going up. Additionally the return of war thanks

As someone who has lived in the US for 20 years but has moved quite a bit within the country, and lived in multiple other countries before, but continues to travel a lot, I've become very aware of the "stuff" I have. And it&#

I don't think anyone is arguing that a lower salary doesn't suck. This is a discussion about whether living in a suburb with a massive house is significantly better than living in a smaller apartment in a city.

While this might explain why Tech salaries are high in general, it doesn't explain why US Tech salaries are so much higher than Western European ones (let's not even consider the gap with Asia/Eastern Europe). Heck, there is

I think one of the more obvious reasons is because companies genuinely believed in the benefit of geographical colocation. And Tech has largely been a winner takes all industry, so paying large sums of more money to hire people is worth it

While your opinion that US tech workers might be overpaid may be true, it bears questioning why this is happening in the Tech sector, one where even before COVID it was far easier to hire remote and offshore workers than say serving burgers

I disagree with this. There's a lot of evidence that modern society has made things much better for everyone. That doesn't mean that there aren't negative influences in modern society. The rich wanting to get richer is defini

I'm not sure I understand why AI is supposed to make anything better, at least under the regulatory regime we have right now. 1. AI doesn't do anything new. It's just human thinking done better in the best case scenario. So t

A possibly good example to look at is Indian in 2016. In 2016, India abolished bank notes of certain denominations that formed the majority of value of bank notes in circulation. Note, India has its own currency and was able to print altern

There's a lot of companies laying off people even though they're making increasing profits. Unity isn't one of those (even if the C suite was being paid $0 since some are arguing that the top brass salaries are too high). It

And that's a good thing. Gnome is not a distro. It doesn't provide a user facing distro. It's a DE that other people are building the largest distros on. They should be adding stuff based on their priorities, while Gnome&#x27

And yet somehow despite Gnome's shitshow management, all the major distros default to GNOME. Maybe they're doing something right?

Because this is what they have tested so far? Are you worried about the internet paper that will be wasted and the digital trees that will be cut down if they post a follow up in a second blog post?

I think the conversation becomes a lot easier once you recognize that there is no such thing as untyped data. There's only explicit typing and implicit typing. So the only real argument you're having with someone is when writing a

Further to actually use cellular modems you likely need to pay an additional fee every month to a cellphone carrier. That requirement probably makes the already tiny subset of people who could use a cellular modem even smaller.
