No, the workers have to have actual ownership (ie stocks) in the company. Work councils are no different from unions in that the members of the council are not working to maximize the success of the company but to maximize employment and wa

Unions' interests are not aligned with those of the company. If the company needs to shed a bunch of people or switch business models or _hire different talent_ the union will resist, because their job is to maximize the number and pay

The hit to your SEO rankings matters a lot more than the actual load time.

I guarantee you, an M1 is about as fast as your "6 core xeon" laptop. M1 Pro/Max will steamroll it. You can look at Cinebench, LLVM compile, Java benchmarks, etc. You're completely delusional claiming your laptop is 5x f

Is that why every tech company uses Macbooks? People who can't afford Apple laptops (and gamers and certain other use cases) buy cheaper laptops. The brand appeal draws all the wealthy people towards Apple devices.

Presumably they short the shit out of Tether and related stablecoins before they release the information they get. It's certainly for their own gain.

Unions make sure everyone gets paid fairly equally. That doesn't work in a top heavy profession like software engineering where the top are 5x better and paid 5x more than the bottom.

You can raise capital so easily with any traction (seriously, if you have any credible paying customers at all YC will take you and that unlocks funding from everyone else). The cost of health insurance is negligible compared to the astrono

You need only look at the makeup of every MBA, MEng, MS, and STEM PhD program. 50% European and 50% Asian, all foreigners (i.e. immigrated on a student visa). If there was no brain drain then you'd expect mostly US permanent residents&

Huawei was never in the US market. They were pretty dominant in Europe and certain Asian markets and Apple+Samsung probably gained most of the share they lost there.

More likely is that cell phones all have mobile data, whereas laptops have not historically had that except on high end business models. Devices are pretty useless to the average person without the internet, so in places with poor connectiv

When you focus on "people" you get emotionally driven policies without any planning for long term consequences. See: Prop 13. If you want to do what's best for the people, as a population, long term, you need to do what'

In the past I worked at a telecom company which had representation from Russia, Japan, China, India, Britain, and America on my team alone. And I'm guessing you want tech companies to hire more black and Latino workers because that&#x2

Considering Coinbase isn't seeing any attrition above normal for tech and isn't having issues recruiting, I think nobody really cares. Also, if you're white and claim diversity and social justice to be "critically import

Sure there are. Have you walked into any FAANG office? There are a huge variety of West/East European nationalities and East/Southeast Asians. That's representative of over half the world's population right there. You ca

It's fine if you're a small or medium size business that commands at most single digit % of the market. Facebook dominates ad spending and reach to the point that you can't just build your own, because they have a de facto mo

This is like saying if you don't like the rules you can build your own multinational telephone network. There's a reason telecoms are subject to common carrier rules and I don't see why tech monopolies should be any different

Unfortunately that fund holds around 40% of its capital in TSLA alone and only ~5% in SpaceX, so not a very good choice for investment. It also uses leverage. Great choice if you believe in Elon, not so great choice if you have any semblanc

Par for the course for California, really. If you live here you know every law has loopholes for whatever lobby or demographic group politicians need votes from. AB5, Prop 13, Prop 47, etc.

Ironic that "we do not live in a meritocracy" is said by the same people advocating for DEI programs (which, as implemented currently in university admissions, are objectively anti-meritocratic).

The 15in/16in ones actually have better thermal cooling than the competition. You can usually get the 16in i9 to boost to 60w turbo, which is 30% more than you can get an XPS 15 to do.

No senior I've worked with could be replaced by a fresh out of college dev. You don't deserve to be called senior if you can.

But if you've done research or tried to get a recommendation letter, you know self-promotion and self-inflating also matters in academia. Especially if you go to a large public school. > objectively evaluate your work I suppose if y

AT&T was a national monopoly. Merck has a monopoly on a few drugs. The difference is huge. > lower profits... I don't care about Merck's shareholder dividends Aaand we're back to terrible incentives. You can't for

But the entire reason Merck and co don't pour money into foundational and/or exploratory research is because it's unprofitable. Giving the money to universities to do the research instead of doing it themselves doesn't c

Considering vaccines are widely available and cheap or free, there's no reason this should be given away for free.

Where is the motivation for Merck to pour funds into a drug they don't get any return on? And if the government is doing this R&D instead of pharma cos, what is their motivation to perform? If you're a government apparatchik m

You're way overcomplicating things. Uber already handles this kind of stuff. Driver gets paid on the person who threw up's dime ($50-200), driver is responsible for cleaning it up. It'll just be a centralized maintenance hub

First make public transportation as clean and safe as ride sharing, then you'll get demand. Nobody wants to sit next to people that smell like piss/weed/cigs/BO. If you were a Uber/Lyft driver that kind of thing wou
