So you fly away from your family to spend the night closing a deal for your employer and after a long day of meetings you sit down and have to order tofu because the latest Richard Hendricks of the hour started dating a vegan. Fuck this who

This is how corporations are like autocratic governments. And the larger they get, the harder it is to get away from their spheres of influence (if you’re a software engineer in Seattle, by rejecting Amazon as an employer you wrote yourself

It’s absolutely nuts that Apple sells as much of their own product as Walmart.com sells of thousands of products.

Sure - obviously dentistry on this island will pay better than juggling, and adding an eleventh juggler will only further reduce juggler wages. It’s not an exact science, because pay does not equal value, so you have people becoming investm

This is the tech equivalent of slum tourism. News flash: poor people deal with crap that rich people don’t have to.

I just realized for the first time, typing this comment, that I could order online from Target, and I've never tried it. Shows you how dominant of a position in e-commerce Amazon has. I'll have to try it.

The messed up thing is that I ordered a product SOLD AND SHIPPED BY AMAZON.COM and it was counterfeit. That's the day I stopped buying stuff for my kid on Amazon. Now I drive to Target and waste an hour each time but it's better t

Do you have kids? I find that young single people get jealous and status conscious when looking at the rich and famous. As someone with a daughter and a paunch it makes me happy to get a glimpse of the beautiful people because I don’t actua

> They also have an incentive to err on the side of providing less care. This is only true at the end of a person's life. Before then, ignoring problems does not make them go away, it in fact makes it more expensive for them.

“Find your passion” is ultimately tremendously selfish. It’s saying “I’ll do what I want regardless of what the world needs.” It’s learning to be a juggler rather than a dentist on an island with ten jugglers and twenty toothaches.

It’s not surprising that the young rich beautiful people like Instagram. But I still appreciate that Facebook, Reddit and other text-based platforms allow an ugly person with a dumpy apartment and rusty car to publish their thoughts with th

They won’t do that until they have a different app supporting E2E. Why would they voluntarily lose all E2E users to a competitor?

Hehe, I wouldn’t even really want it. Was just needling the people who want their nice big houses without thinking about the isolating car culture it creates.

If a parent tells their 25 year old child that they’re done with it and sick and tired of the job, I think the child should at least look inside themselves and assess whether anything they did that prompted that should be changed.

Do you have many married friends? There is frequently NO chemistry/friendship between a person and their spouse’s family. You choose your spouse but not your family, so there can be wild mismatches even with no hostility/animus.

This makes sense. It’s very hard to 1) pay new hires more than existing employees, or 2) ever reduce anyone’s salary. So raising salaries to hire people means raising everyone’s salary in the company, permanently. Not a good idea if your em

The headline is completely misleading and actually understated the problem. One California mall developer is sharing their license plate data with one third party company which may or may not be sharing this data with other parties. This is

This type of thinking is everywhere. “X did Y and succeeded, so I should do Y.” It’s why lots of startup founders wear the same outfit every day, why Trump’s Republican opponents tried calling him names, why people buy Michael Jordan brande

You sound like my friend who gives me hell because I bought an Audi instead of the BMW he recommended. He says “the BMW has much better cornering!” and I say “my car has great cornering!” and he sends me some data as if I care. I simply lik

We’re a long way away in technology time but not in society time. We might be as far away from this world as we are from the creation of the Web — but society isn’t ready to have 10x the number of unemployed people in 25 years. Political&#x
