We can argue about whether window dressing is better than no window dressing, or we can use our attention on arguments that actually matter. It's like arguing about the amount of power drawn by electronics chargers in the context of gl

Opendoor? OpenTable? Lots of companies have "open" in their names for all sorts of different reasons.

FWIW, big tech companies do pay for relocation for rank and file engineers. Meta paid for packing/moving + roughly $20k incidentals when I joined last year.

Can you describe the concrete harm that comes from data collection?

I disagree, companies should all have the same rights regardless of their size.

The issue is thinking that this is simply a bolt-on ux improvement when it's really a core part of the ux. Such a service would quickly rival the value of mastodon itself and soon overtake it. It might even eventually become what non-t

My view includes protest and criticism under "talking it out" -- these are both integral parts of staging a society-wide conversation. But what problem has been reasonably solved by violence that you're thinking of?

by dnissley 4y ago
Talk it out, change the culture -- the same way so many other problems have been solved. Homosexuality went from culturally prohibited to culturally celebrated over the course of time. Surely we will find ways to inoculate ourselves and our

Whoa whoa whoa, why are we immediately jumping to solving this problem through legislation / talk of rights?

"Teacher" and "school bus driver" seem pretty unreasonable to require licenses for because teachers also have degree requirements and bus drivers also have special drivers license requirements, making extra licenses rath

Ah, disappointing! In all seriousness, I have found the conclusions you drew from your chatgpt summary to be quite useful for making my way in this particular era of history. Being able to just evict any such controlling narrative from my h

I thought the way that health insurance got tied to employment was through government incentives for employers to do so? E.g. not being taxed when provided as a benefit

In this post and the comic it links to there is an awful lot of beating around the bush about who precisely the people are that are grifting stoicism in the variety of ways presented. Why not name names? Does anyone know who they are talkin

Meta almost certainly will not be doing this fwiw. They've actually made moves recently that make it even easier to go remote.

There is a benefit to doing this kind of work on animals: significantly lower regulatory burden, with the option to convert that technology over to humans if it works well enough. There's a similar startup, Loyal, doing work on dog lif

Anyone know what internal mobility is like at Apple? At Meta it's pretty easy to move teams once you hit the 1 year mark.

Sure, not going to argue with that. On the other hand, these debates seem quite one sided. The boards of these companies aren't firing their CEOs. Why aren't any of the op-ed authors curious enough to ask about this? This author l

by dnissley 4y ago
Who holds the ceo responsible? The board. If the board themselves would have made the same hiring calls, it's unlikely they could fault the ceo for making those calls as well. By extension -- who doesn't hold the ceo responsible?

There's a difference between people "doing what they've always done" or coasting on cultural inertia e.g. people who are Catholic and that means they go to a Catholic church but otherwise has a very small effect on their

Most people in the US at least do not slot into any particular subculture. They are "normies" for lack of a better term: they don't intentionally curate their cultural selves -- they may have picked up some "trad" t
