As an aside, it’s striking to me that Hacker News has a significant audience of flat earthers. Don’t look up, right? Let’s be clear, human caused climate change is very real. Rigorous science confirms this and CO2 + methane levels are now d

I’m not an expert but my understanding is that the answer is “No.” For a company to employ someone legally in a country on a salary basis, the company and employee need to follow local tax and employment law. As you can imagine, these vary

Teams chat seems to work fine on my 2021 MacBook Pro with M1 processor. We typically use zoom for video calls. MS Outlook on the other hand frequently crashes. Maybe there’s a memory leak issue?

Yes, magic is indeed the best solution.

The big problem is that due to feedback effects, there is no stopping at 1.5C unless we engage in highly risky mitigation techniques such as blocking sunlight with aerosols. Once permafrost begins to melt, fire season expands, and the plane

Having lived in Canada and the US, with telecom plans with providers in both countries, I think Canada’s telecoms take it to a new level. To give you a sense of how distorted the market is, it was cheaper for me to keep my US Verizon wirele

$200K in a HCOL area with a family is middle income and you’d be hard stretched to save much if anything.

Let’s explore all options that generate $$$ so we can avoid real current solutions that lack the profit motive like planting and protecting trees, conserving energy, reducing consumption, etc.

Or instead of relying on essentially magic we could deploy current and known solutions that will solve the problem, but we will have to invest real $, conserve, and consume less. Sadly, there’s no chance practical solutions that require wor

Unless your team is made up of serial entrepreneurs with one or more successful exits, then the only thing that really matters is customer metrics: usage, revenue, and rate of growth.

rtings.com is very good for certain types of products like TVs, headphones, etc.

This is the sunk cost fallacy. The best option might be to leave and find something else.

And I’m not so worried about Cuban. I’m worried about when he exits. The next owner(s) will certainly have a different agenda.

100% agree. The last generation of MacBook pros with intel processors were virtually unusable for zoom calls or any intensive processing power tasks.

Unfortunately, I think moving up the hierarchy is one of the biggest security blankets as you get older. No one seems to question when a VP, CFO, or CEO is 50+. Age seems to be an asset in this case.

Sorry but real estate is nothing like a collectible. It has tangible value as a form of housing or for some commercial purpose (retail, office, etc.).

There are many cradle to grace analyses that include calculations of costs for externalities. In terms of software for this, the big question is who would pay for it?

I don’t understand why the OP is being downvoted. Climate change is real and causing temperature and weather anomalies all over the world, including record warm temps and droughts in the western continental United States.

So anything aside from hyper capitalism is mediocrity? This is a sad way of looking at the world.

Every time I’ve seen a company bought by private equity, it spells the beginning of the end. The strategy always seems to milk every last drop of cash from the business, without any long term sustainable plan. As an anecdotal case, I visite

Setting all the recent issues aside, I remember a time when I would always check Southwest Airlines for flight options before any other airline and they’d often win my business. For the last ~5 years I don’t even bother. Their prices are at
