Also, it sounds close to a limit where a buyer would need to get the purchase approved. I don't know what common approval limits for team spending are, but sales will be easier if people don't need to go through a long process to

Doesn't it also reduce the incentive to outsource jobs overseas? It's harder for lower-skilled jobs in the US to compete with overseas workers working for less than minimum wage.

I've made several trips to visit my parents while working, even redirecting mail once. But I still have an apartment in the bay area. I'm sure my family would be happy if I moved in for awhile. But I like my apartment, and I would

For work there's a bunch of random applications I need to use. Most documentation/IT support assumes you are using the standard macbook/windows machine. I'd rather not do the work of trying to use linux as my main OS. Pl

I've heard that FB doesn't really hire people with a few years of experience. They hire interns and new grads, but once you're past that they look for 5-6 years of experience.

I'm not offended. I'll give you housing. I'm nowhere close to being able to afford a home. But I'm fine with an apartment. Doing a rough estimate of housing in places I might consider moving to, I might be able to save

How do you handle promotions and negotiating raises? I'd be concerned about the long term effect if I went remote. The bay area is expensive, but a 50% or 100% increase in compensation seems possible. That only seems possible in areas

Even if the data was misreported, which is a possibility, censoring or deleting it in some way is the worst option. Lets say Florid's growth for that month was 30%. But because of bad reporting it thought it had a growth rate of 15%, u

Floating desks sounds really unenjoyable. Plus I'd have health concerns about that before a vaccine is developed.

I have the same concerns. Personally I liked coming into my office. My workspace was decent, I liked being able to have lunch with my coworkers, and the free food was good. Plus my commute was basically non-existent. I also have long term c

Full self-driving is a long way off, but GM can use Cruise to develop new active safety systems for their current cars. I don't think GM is doing as well there as Toyota or Honda, let alone Tesla.

The workers aren't risking any criminal consequences. It's much more effective for CA to go after the company. The email is just trying to intimidate people into coming in or not filing for unemployment. The normal process is tha

Sure, I'll switch between ride sharing apps based on cost alone. But I'll still want available drivers near me. I'm not willing to try multiple apps just to see if it's usable. I think Uber/Lyft's customer base

I've also heard that large investors are much more cautious about doing large deals right now. I think with all the uncertainty with Covid-19 would mean a major acquisition would be unpredictable.

That makes sense. Even if private information isn't leaked, Amazon would still know things about usage and billing.

Is medicaid a good option? I think you should qualify in California. Also, I don't know your situation, but has your health needs changed recently? I know Kaiser is trying to limit unnecessary office visits.

I was little curious why Newsom wasn't wanting to release details of California's billion dollar contract for N95 masks. His office even said disclosing details could threaten the supply. It makes a lot more sense if they're

Techcrunch wrote an article in May 2019 about Carta raising a Series E. They also reported an annual revenue run rate of 55 million with nearly 600 employees. That's less than 100k per employee. I'm not sure if Carta's profit

I think most students would be more self-contained off-campus. Going entirely online helps, but I wouldn't call college downs clean. Clearing them out is a good idea.

Users caring might mean that a user is 15% more likely to select a 5 star host over a 4.5 star host, not that the user will say a 5 star rating is a top concern.

I think part of it is cultural. The majority of Americans speak English as a primary language, and there's only one set of federal laws. That makes it easier to grow your userbase.The EU has a large number of residents, but also has 24

I also really don't get it. Obviously things like company compensation are really important in a job offer. But what matters for my day-to-day work satisfaction is the work I'm doing, my team-mates and my team's culture. I do

It maybe different from Facebook and Google, but is hiring for positions on teams that unique? That's how my employer does it. A lot of our public facing job ads are for specific teams. We have a few general public-facing job ads but I

It still is a little bit unnerving that older models can accelerate based off of speed limit signs alone. That seems like a dangerous approach.

I'm not sure how great that channel is for in-depth advice. The best case is that he's got a really dry, sarcastic sense of humor. And I think he's currently just running his cs interview prep business on the side after getti
