Our Corp IT requested engineering to Pilot Google Hangout Chats as we already have GSuite. Turns out that Slack is the most expensive enterprise application that IT owns. It is more expensive that GSuite, although it provides a specific uti

Do you have a source for your first assertion ? This link explicitly says that it applies to the Facebook development https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/New-Facebook-Offices-M... They haven't decided wheth

Texas government don't pass intrusive policies ? They literally passed a law that forces women to bury aborted fetus. I mean that is 100x more intrusive than cafeterias https://www.newsweek.com/abortion-texas-fetus-law-

Don't get caught up and be enraged by clickbait BI headlines. Bay Area cities are not cracking down on anything. There is exactly one passed rule so far. And that is by Mountain View that only applies to a single office development. Th

This title is a little hyperbolic. There has exactly been two proposals. One in Mountain View, that only applies to a single office development. That also doesn't ban office cafeterias, but limits subsidies. The other one is in proposa

Thankfully my wife's second petition was approved. I am currently negotiating to work out of an international office. It is really complicated due to tax issues, transfer, wage leveling, timezones etc. Personally, it is tough for me as

If there was such an abundance of talent, why does Google pay $125k for entry level SW jobs ? And why is SW engineering such a highly paid position ?

Both me and my wife fall in category 1, but were unceremoniously denied H1 visa extensions this year. Both of us have Master's degree in the US. As you would note from other comments in this thread, there is a lot of misunderstanding a

Personally my H1 was denied by Trump administration citing some BS reason. I have been here for over 12 yrs and work in a decacorn as a PM. I am looking to move to Canada.

This. Phoenix highways have the best pavement quality. Good news is that post SB-1 Caltrans is using the same material in CA highways as well - rubberized asphalt. I recently drove from SF to LA and sections of I-5 were recently repaved. Gr

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought. Note that their questions were also not limited to technology, but veered into philosophical questions like "how do I maintain authority". If the author is an expert in that many fields

The Trump administration cannot have us breathing clean air, lest it impacts a fraction of some companies bottom line. What's next ? Force us to fire up some coal powered plants ?

I don't want to breathe polluted air because car companies cannot be arsed to manufacture 2 spec cars. It's their problem

Omg, Tesla is dead again !!! I swear, I have read at least a thousand articles predicting Tesla's demise.

Abortion is same as Holocaust denial ? One is a medical issue and the other one is literally denying facts that is used as propaganda to recruit extremists.

I think the market overreacted a bit. They have been growing for so many years, there is bound to be a quarter here and there where growth stalls. Having said that, I feel Netflix's biggest problem is content discovery. They have the b

This doesn't really makes sense. Apple has been manufacturing there forever and in the process became the most valuable company in the world.

California is the 5th largest economy in the world. It also has 40mn people, so of course it will have a lower per capita

This a weird article. I have been closely following Tesla for the last 5 years and it has been the target of constant FUD and misinformation. Some very powerful people are on a mission to take down Tesla. Look at the stream of negative opin

This is just not true, I live outside SF and have kids and own a single family home. My pay here has exponentially gone up over the last 5 years, especially if you account for RSUs and so has my wife's. We are also able to change jobs

It's not really comparable as France has universal healthcare, massive social safety net, free education, cheap public transport. A waiter in the US has to buy insurance, own a car, and support themselves when a re establishment shuts

Not sure I see the problem, restaurants survive, people eat good food, and living wages are paid. Sure the market for college students earning a side income is impacted, but does that even happen in SF ?

Tbf, there are several very complex host side features and customer support features that are not really readily visible to an Airbnb booker. I was trying to list my space and came across the workflow.
