I really take all this "will hire xx people in y location" with a grain of salt. This is all marketing speak intended for the tax handout. I don't really believe they will hire that many people if their business tanks

The Dallas office is an administrative office and will not have eng roles. Also, these are all "promises", we really have to see how it plays out. Promises are cheap. Remember how Foxcon was going to hire 10k people in Wisconsin

I am curious about the choice of the word “devastate” in the headline. Should we have a business where it is only viable when paying workers less than minimum wages ? Should we have a business where your core work has to be performed by “co

As much as I hate NIMBYs in SF, the City has built a lot of housing over the last decade, and I would say more than San Diego. The SF skyline is completely new, and places like SOMA, East cut, Mission Bay, Dog patch are entirely new neighbo

I am a huge housing advocate who lives in the Bay Area, but I feel like the only pro housing people I meet are online. All my neighbors turn NIMBY as soon as they buy their home

Let's say Gitlab hired you in rural Montana with a salary appropriate for that location. If you then decide to move to NYC, would it be fair for you to retain the same pay ?

People leave every state. How is that news ? The long time propaganda and perception has been that California has had a net population loss. But that is a myth, because domestic folks are being replaced by higher paid foreign workers. Even

California population has actually gone up by 2 million in the last decade. People leaving California is a myth

One thing that really bothers me about America are the folks who are clearly suffering from severe mental health and substance abuse, yet are roaming the streets unable to take care of themselves. I can't recall another developed or ev

Tesla has killed one of BMWs biggest market - California. The number of Model 3s on the road far surpasses newer 3 series and this can only be the canary in coal mine. All Tesla needs to do is build out a similar Supercharger infrastructure

People routinely change jobs in the Valley. I bet if you look closely 3 exec would have left Google / Apple / FB this week as well.

This comment is hilarious. Last quarter the narrative was Tesla was doomed because there was no demand. This quarter the narrative is that all demand is because of heavy discounts. Last year the narrative was that Tesla was doomed because t

Project Veritas is truly some bottom of barrel garbage, probably worse than Alex Jones.

Hey, Chinese money is bad. But Saudi money is more than welcome. 50% of Softbank's vision fund is from Middle East sovereign funds, who have even more brutal censorship laws and commits more brazen human rights policies. US policy is c

The biggest revenue opportunity for WeWork is big corporations opening smaller office location in cities where just want to staff a small field office or operations office. Example, Uber opening an office in let's say Columbus. Now ins

I am with you. I personally hate remote work and companies who actively use remote workers as a strategy. I was a remote worker for 6 months and was borderline depressed due to limited human contacts. My next employer had a very distributed

I am sure there are rural areas in Bay Area that have coverage issues, but definitely not true for urban areas. San Francisco itself has a ton of providers including Monkey Brains, Webpass, Sonic etc. I am on AT&T Fiber and it straight

I love the Autobahn, less so because of the driving experience and more so because it represents the Pinnacle of road engineering. Every inch of lane is striped properly, every sign is informative and bright, every Gore point is painted, ev

I wonder if the author misread the poll referenced in this article. When people choose remote work, often they are referring to the ability to work 1 or 2 days remotely in a week. Most companies in the Bay Area allow that and are quite flex

This is just nuts. I have several social media accounts and in many of them I have said not so nice things about various governments across the world, including the American government. Wonder how that will be treated.

Does it matter whether labor or capital is sold ? The ABC test doesn’t check for that. Uber drivers also use their own capital to buy cars. The major difference is setting prices
