If they’re trying to reduce Chrome’s memory footprint, why not page/swap out inactive tab states to the filesystem instead of deleting? This feature is going to cause a lot of unexpected data loss.

TikTok is the first piece of computer software that I'm treating like a dangerous and currently legal recreational drug. No doubt lots of fun, obviously not good for you, don't need it, so simply not gonna use it.

Maybe they don’t have a future. I’m a proponent of the corporate death penalty under certain circumstances for companies found guilty of killing people. I empathize with their shareholders, but corporations have free will and their death wi

I’m shocked the company fired one of your reports without your input. This completely undermines your leadership and the chain of command. I would be livid.

In the past year, Google announced both a 70 billion dollar stock buyback program and the layoff of 12,000 workers. This would not happen in an era where workers have a seat at the table, let alone an era where workers dominate the industry

I think the majority of people here over age 40 who saw early career SWEs routinely discussing $250k-$350k packages knew that the past couple of years was not an exact repeat of, but certainly rhymed with, the dot com era.

For contrast, the first bill introduced in 2018 by the democrat-controlled house under newly minted Speaker Pelosi focused on voter suppression and anti-corruption[0]. Like this bill, it was ceremonial and had zero chance of passing the sen

I get what you’re saying but don’t think the Catbert analogy is apropos here. What I have seen as a senior tech executive and old person is that young people entering the workforce after around 2015-6 often rely on HR to be a neutral arbite

Amazon is currently generating around $11B in annual net income. They don’t need to lay anyone off. The idea that it’s customary to temporarily ruin a ton of employee-stakeholder’s lives in order not to save the company but simply to mai

Hey, thanks for responding. Am I understanding you correctly that 1 unit of gas heat costs $3 and each unit of heat pump heat costs between $3.40 and $5.00 depending on efficiency of the heat pump?

Thanks - this is exactly the kind of data point I’m looking for. I have a big, drafty loft in Brooklyn that is heated with gas forced air. I’ve been curious about the relative operating cost of an air source heat pump, and I assume the sky
