This is very true. The other part it misses out is the impact of sales process on product development. Enterprise software companies have large dedicated salesforce, and product managers are under pressure to deliver a feature that will clo

I have no idea why this shutdown was initiated. It had been much warmer and drier earlier in the summer. It is actually quite pleasant and cold these days, with morning dew. And no winds. I have no idea why these conditions warrant power sh

Wow, that Spiegel guy seems to have lost his mind after being wrong about his Tesla prediction for decades

The dominance of San Francisco is mind blowing and flies in the face of the narrative of "decentralizing tech" that I have been hearing over the last decade

Having worked at a few of the top ones, many of them are now investing huge $$$ to rearchitect their tech platform to Java and services. I understand that Ruby allowed them to grow fast, but I am wondering if starting with Java to begin wit

CA has a $200bn budget. The tax gains from this will be barely noticeable

Oh god, can we read the bill first ? No college is paying anything to anyone. This is about a person using their own image to make money. There is no benefit in going to Alabama vs. Acorn state, as you can be a big star in a small program a

USC got heavily penalized and the football program was set back decades because Reggie Bush's father got free rent from an agent. It is laughable, when USC's coach was Pete Carol who minted millions

This was long overdue. Thank you. College coaches get paid millions of dollars a year, yet when a poor athlete gets rent money for his dad, all hell breaks loose. Let's stop pretending that college sports is anything but a glamorized p

This is why I am a Tesla fanboy (although somewhat begrudgingly due to Elon's recent antics). They have made car ownership such a joyous experience. I am eagerly waiting to download this and go to town

I have been waiting for Tesla’s failure for 10 years. Tesla naysayers have been asking us to wait for couple of quarters for a decade now

President Trump has no strategy. He is acting out of spite, exactly how he has acted all his life. A real loser.

How many of these weird cost of living calculators need to be made ?

Florida has all of these, but doesn’t have the same economy Edit: actually, let me get into more detail on why I reject this hypothesis that I hear all the time "California is successful despite its govt / regulations etc.".

Thank god you are not running any companies. Uber and Lyft's 25% of their revenues come from California. They will not exist without California.

California's state administration is considered a failure ? by whom ? By constituents who continue to send supermajorities of the same party ?

First "gig" economy and now this ? We need universal healthcare, like yesterday. Let's not be bonded to corporations to take care of our health.

California has the 4th largest economy in the world and is growing faster than most states. In 2019 alone, California probably created ~$300bn in public value through IPOs. Clearly, the regulatory environment seems to be great for running a

There are several ways it can play out. Governor can veto the bill or can seem amendments that codifies some exemptions for the gig economy. If the bill passes as is, Uber will most likely continue to operate as is and battle it out in cour

Let me guess - cost of living ?

The principle behind exemptions are those that already make far more than minimum wages, but I agree with your overall point

Why would state enforce a federal employment requirement ?

It will cost California $400bn to run a Universal Healthcare system, which is double the entire general fund budget. You have to essentially declare private insurance void, and corral that employee and employer contribution to the healthcar

Just read through the text of the bill, looks like the work you describe is explicitly exempted from the bill https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

I disagree with your assertions as healthcare is not the sole motivation, since massive Medicaid expansion has already taken care of that problem. The bigger issue really is that companies are not paying into unemployment, medicare, SSN and

I don't believe Uber is buying a building, rather leasing out space, which can always be re-negotiated. There have many examples of companies promising a certain number of jobs and never fulfilling them, because who is looking. For exa
