Yeah, and a doctor can get a job anywhere else in a heartbeat. Doctors effectively do all their “whiteboard interviews” up front and don’t have to deal with it later in their career.

What an empty threat. A hospital is not going to fire staff at the moment of greatest demand, and a doctor with an intact credential can get hired anywhere they want in a split second. Maybe the hospitals can bully the nurses assistants and

This method will ensure you lose your top performers rather than your bottom performers.

I carefully evaluated all of the major players here (at least 2 hours in each one) and Zoom definitely has the 2nd best video/audio quality/latency after FaceTime (and you can't use FaceTime for meetings where even one person

The fact is that with these meeting/group products, the one that makes it easiest to join is the one that succeeds, because there's always one bozo who can't figure out how to type a password, so there's an incentive tow

This is what happens when an economy pays essential workers like throwaway workers and then the throwaway workers realize it.

There's no question that the technical results of a top digital camera blow film out of the f'in water. But that's what makes me nostalgic for the film days, in some ways. Getting a really fantastic film picture used to be a

Touchscreens are massively massively cheaper. Especially for products with warranties like cars. Thing fucks up, just swap out the entire brain+display unit.

I find it sad that these monkeys are getting so many flash photos taken of them. I hate flash and I know that it’s coming and why it exists. For a monkey I can imagine it’s even more aggravating.

They’ll settle out of court with this guy in 2 years for $10 million but it’s worth it to them to silence him at the present moment.

It was never a cargo cult of being good... it was a cost cutting play that they correctly thought they could shove down consumers throats. Glad to see Honda acting on behalf of the driver again.

The killer apps for tablets arrived years ago! Entertaining children, low-end point of sale devices, and watching streaming videos.

Yep. We have these in our team too. People who came in the regular way, were absolutely top performers, and then decided to relocate. The decision to the company was let them be remote or let them go, and some were allowed to be remote and

My Amazon delivery order arrived perfectly this morning. But I support their meager demands and will double the tip on today's order.

N95 masks are just too damn uncomfortable when worn properly to become the default standard at all times. Surgical masks should be the all-the-time standard with N95 for the vulnerable or anxious. It would be great if being seen in public c

But it's bullshit, because non-N95 masks are effective at protecting the wearer, about half as effective as N95 masks, and if "selfish" people wear masks to protect themselves they will also protect others from themselves.

I mean, I have a Renoir print up in my house. If I had $100 billion I’d probably have the original up. There is a demand for art as a consumption good.

Because software engineering is valuable even in a recession, and someone will be willing to pay someone more to work than Airbnb will pay them to not work.

“Panic buying” is the new word for “purchases I condemn”

Right, but I feel like almost any Airbnb engineer can get more than 25% of their salary somewhere.

Most employees will not accept this and would rather go work somewhere full time, and can find such work since the FAANGs shouldn’t be too harshly impacted.

My preferred formulation is “In theory, it works in practice; in practice, it works in theory.”

Amazon doesn’t really want to kill startups using AWS even when they fuck up. If you had made some phone calls / worked LinkedIn / Tweeted / written a blog post you could have gotten that refunded in a week.

I’ve spent at least $2000 using Apple Pay on the Web that I wouldn’t have otherwise.

Well it's strong until it's not. Tons of businesses run on 1-month commercial paper and other stuff that they just plan to roll over and roll over until one day things change and they're completely fucked.

Not true in my experience. I have a remote cofounder and we do always-on video for hours a day so we systematically evaluated each option. The absolute best (resolution/framerate/latency) is FaceTime and the best cross-platform is

What Tomas Pueyo did is create a massively viral piece of content that, regardless of accuracy, encouraged the right actions. In doing so he saved at least thousands of lives. So forgive me for not caring how robust his analyses are.

The 0.1% case happens. And if it’s going to seriously wreck lives when it happens then you should solve for it. Does Instagram need to handle the 0.1% case? No. But the unemployment website should.

How do they manage the heat at these speeds? I've seen even MicroSD get ouchingly hot.
