Most liberal places are hell holes ? I mean Marin County is 80% Democrats is one of the best places to live in the world. In fact the entire coast of US from San Diego all the way to Washington is all blue. What about huge cities like LA an

So blue cities and states continue to become richer and income inequality will continue to grow. Austin, Seattle, San Diego, LA, NYC.. unbelievable Also, kind of disappointing how low the job numbers are. 5000 in Austin over the next severa

China also federally funds them. But God forbid if the US Federal govt spends some infrastructure money on the coastal elites. That will be blasphemy

You nailed it. If the HSR was viewed as a SF and LA to Central Valley connection, it would have been much easier to implement. Also, they could have taken a typical MVP style product launch and only completed a small section such as between

How is life in Amsterdam for non-white engineers ? I am genuinely curious as I am considering a move from the US, but Europe has some history with brown folks. Is it possible to be fully integrated into the society and not stick out like a

As someone who lives in the SV suburbs, life is freaking AWESOME. My wife and I both work and we have a small kid. We make a lot of money so that I never have to check my bank account. And we are just mid level managers. We own two houses t

More than the lack of headphone jack, I actually hate the lightning / usb-c / 3.5 mm inconsistency between the iPhone and Macbook. I mean, I usually would keep the dongle on my headset. But when I need to get on a Webex call or li

This is a terrible article and should be downvoted to death. Maybe Jalopnik should have accompanied their thoughts about Musk's comment with, I don't know, some cash flow analysis from their income statement ? And pointed to what

As someone living in the bubble, Silicon Valley felt way too real. Does this apply to tech company culture outside of the valley ?

I sincerely doubt it. This "driverless" program will still have a back-up driver and thousands of dollars of additional equipment on board. Along with, I am sure, several limitations on which specific locations this can work. Uber

I don't want to berate the fully remote work culture, but $10.5M is small change. Unless we have a multi billion dollar company proving this working model at scale, I will remain skeptic. Also, it is hard to know whether being remote i

This is exactly right. It is a sattelite office. And I am very skeptical of the 25k jobs number they are putting out. Especially if these are technical roles. This would amount to hiring 2k engineers a year.

by dmode 8y ago
Hot take: none of these are headquarters. These are just big sattelite campuses that every company has. I will also predict that hiring in these offices will be far lower than projected, especially engineering hires

I worked at one of those you mentioned. SAP let us run and grow for 2 years and then came down hard as SAP stock is a margin play and not a growth play. Our entire salesforce was gutted and SAP sales teams were now responsible for selling o

I own a Tesla. It is by far the best car I have ever owned. This is the only car which actually gets better over time. My Tesla now is actually 10x better than the one I bought.

Amazon is playing cities like chump. I had a sense in the beginning of this process that Amazon doesn’t really want to build a HQ2. They just want to open another office. Most large tech companies have large campuses across multiple cities.

It is interesting that the #1 story in HN is decline in FB and the #3 is growth in Reddit. Personal anecdote, I have shifted all my FB screen time to Reddit. Not out of any agenda, but perhaps to interact with a more diverse group of people

There are some similarities, but there are VAST differences between China and Saudi. In China, women's rights and conditions are far better than Saudi. There are no restrictions on women driving or taking the subway or wearing whatever
