i don’t see most of the companies embracing work from home. with a few notable exceptions, the expectation is that as soon as the pandemic is over were expected back in the office.

i want apple to do it but here are downsides from their perspective: 1. they don’t get 30% cut 2. other app stores could have pirated content (like cydia) 3. other app stores could have content with viruses

i agree. it would be interesting to see a historical version of this poll and see how accurate they’ve been in the past. if economists were so great at predicting the economy they’d all be rich

by that logic consumer and labor protection laws all fit under your definition of fascist. you can contort words to mean anything by stretching definitions or being vague enough but i don’t think that’s a useful definition

i think he wanted to be a ceo. with the acquisition he could run the tiktok subsidiary of microsoft or something but wanted more power i’m guessing

really bad timing for him. wonder what’s next. as i understand he was pretty high at disney and left when he was passed over for the ceo role

There’s also Henry Moseley who likely would’ve won the 1916 prize in physics but died in 1915 as a soldier in WW1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Moseley his death sparked the government to change its policy of enl

i’m so glad we have reddit here to baby me and make sure no big bad “mis information” ever hits my precious ears. who knows what dangerous thing could happen. i might be forced to use critical thinking and evaluate claims on their values. i

why do you keep providing cover for people like this? https://twitter.com/awkward_duck/status/1297746569605898240?... they clearly mean defund when they say defund. Many other activists feel the same. why say defu

yeah we also have far higher violent crime rates and are one of the few countries with a 2nd ammendment

right but if you’re looking for people who will succeed in college (or the corporate world) wouldn’t you be looking for people who can achieve based on specified rules and fun to within a system, instead of undisciplined people who can’t do

as a counterpoint to all the complaints, i still think unity is by far the easiest game engine to pickup even for people who’ve never coded before. and there’s so many resources out there to pick it up that there isn’t really a strong compe

why can’t you just attribute it to culture? it’s clearly that

yeah i mean frankly speaking it’s just not worth the risk to hire someone from ca given the law. it’s not like ca employees provide anything special over other state’s that would justify paying them more for low skill jobs that can be done

yeah the proposal from the original comment also seems more designed to “teach” the billionaire by making him sit next to a disabled person instead of helping the wheelchair bound person. all out of some sort of sense of justice

you’re comparing a lot of unrelated numbers and mixing hem up. per barclays the figure for uber is 500M a year not 300. 300 is the figure for lyft market cap is the total value of the companies issued shares. they don’t have access to that

one was a contractor for a company that did content moderation/fact checking on a big tech website. when ab5 was passed they predictably laid off everyone in california. others include freelance writers, and other online work

I’m not sure why we need prop22 specifically targeting rideshare drivers instead of just repealing AB5 i know so many people’s whose jobs were destroyed by it and still haven’t found anything else.

yes let’s make all public policy based on your sense of poetic justice. and not numbers. i know cost is just a number to you but that’s other people’s money you’re spending

one answer i haven’t seen mentioned is because mobile web is another platform they have to maintain. and it requires a lot of dev work to make sure every new feature works there instead of simply saying it’s unsupported and pushing people t

why can’t it tackle other problems? does every charity now have to “tackle racial inequities”? is cancer not enough?

who cares about their motives. i still think it’s a good thing if they win. no one thinks corporations don’t do what’s in their best interest monetarily

my argument is consumers should be free to get apps from other sources than the app store. just like people can shop at ebay or amazon. with apple, their hardware locks you into one choice for apps. i think we should be able to download any

by ffggvv 6y ago
you’re comparing hardware to software which i don’t think is fair. apple creates the marketplace, the OS, and the hardware. it’s a much more complex issue which is more analogous to if windows required all users to use internet explorer, wh
