I worked at a setup like that, and it was really bad because people were coming on random days. In a set-up like this, people need to have agreed upon days to come back to work

That may have been true in the past. But right now most people have gotten a very good taste of WFH, being 3 months in quarantine. And AFTER that experience, people are rejecting it. I am not surprised. I have been WFH for 3 months now and

I don't know how the survey was worded. But if they asked me, would have said "somewhat interested", in that I want to work from home 1-2 days a week, but no way all 5 days a week

Here's an interesting quote from the verge version of the article "We ran these surveys and asked people what they want to do. Twenty percent of our existing employees said that they were extremely or very interested in working re

This is a bad take. SF didn't have any tech industry before the last decade, and yet still had the second highest population density. Majority of people live in SF and Bay Area, because they want to live there

Why to open a office anywhere if you can just hire remote ? Why to have a hub in Vancouver or Raleigh etc when you can hire from anywhere ?

People have commented the impact of this shift on SF/NYC etc, but based on this announcement the impact on smaller tech hubs will be even more devastating. Why would you now open a office in a smaller tech hub when you can hire someone

This is a great post. But the biggest opportunity here is to build an aggregate SMB platform to take on Amazon. In my local downtown, I see a ton of mom and pop stores, but they don’t get a ton of foot traffic. I sometimes imagine unlocking

I have to admit, SV has really cracked and disrupted the note taking industry. Evernote, OneNote, Asana, Trello, JIRA, ToDoist, and now Notion. I tried most of it and just gave up and started to capture my notes in Google docs and Todos in

I had mentioned this in another post. I am personally sick and tired out working from home for over 2 months and cannot wait to get back to office. This is probably driven a lot by my role (PM) where you are basically in an endless stream o

Just to add a perspective, I work for a FAANG and we have no plans to go remote and will very much be office based. In fact, most of the company is yearning to go back to work. But our office space is pretty nice as well. I personally am si

This is a weird article. The headline is derived from a random board meeting and not even an official statement. It seems like the plan is to open up slowly

How do you know it is not evidence driven ? Do you have expertise in infectious disease ? Do you have any data to prove that Alameda county has the means to control spread, has requisite number of PPE supplies ? Do you know if the county ha

If you are trying to say that there is a global conspiracy across multiple nations to over count COVID deaths, you have do better than say "this year has been weird" to account for excessive deaths.

So Elon should pick and choose what laws he wants to follow ?

by dmode 6y ago
I don't understand this accusation. There should be a very easy way to see if COVID deaths are over-reported by comparing with last year's death numbers, isn't it ? Unless, we believe magically more people are dying this year

Love this. SF seems to be progressing rapidly towards the goal Edit: Does anyone know why PPE supply is the one metric with little progress ? Seems to be the easiest thing to meet

Over the last 2 months, I have lost all respect for Elon. And I have a long history of Tesla / Elon fanboi-ism in HN. I am also a Tesla owner. But the recent twitter tirade from Elon absolutely broke me. He predicted "zero cases&q

Feel like I see a lot of bold predictions about post COVID life. My take on all of these is that “I don’t know and nobody knows”. Dense cities have been around for thousands of years and have gone through plague, pandemics, terrorist attack

by dmode 6y ago
This is the theory that has been peddled quite a bit. But doesn’t really add up, since you can easily do a year over year comparison of death numbers. Unless, you suddenly think a significant portion of people are dying of heart attack this

Sigh, it is kind of embarrassing for me that I was a fan of this guy and even own a Tesla. Elon has gone off the rocks quite and bit and now is a straight up loon. He is now full on spreading FUD, which is weird considering the amount of FU

Oh boy, I just wasted my time reading this, and I really wish the headline would have flagged that this is written by a "site reliability engineer" and not an epidemiologist with credentials. Feel like there would be a revolution

It seems like everyone is an expert on infectious disease these days. From site reliability engineers to electric car manufacturers.
