This only works if everyone does it. Obviously most people don't seem to care for those price hikes at Starbucks. You can make sure they studied the profit/loss on that move.

As someone who lost a little bit through this whole debacle I think it is because we willingly gave our money to FTX. We wanted to believe in this story that was too good to be true. We got fooled and we are slightly ashamed. When you get m

Yeah with Tesla you don't need to play that deceptive game with the dealership BUT you are buying a very overpriced car that is constantly lying on its range. I have been Musked once, but not twice.

by goalonetwo 3y ago
My best advice when haggling over a new car is to simply haggle over text/email. Never set foot on a stealership without a done deal. Contact all the dealership of the make you want to buy in a 2 or 3 hour radius and make them play aga

From all the social medias, Reddit is the biggest echo chamber. The voting system that glorifies posts that are voted by the community and hides posts that don't go with majority's opinion creates that one-sided effect. I don&#x2

This is backward. The issue is that in an healthy low unemployment environment, more companies would compete for those workers that would be able to negotiate a higher wage. There is a ton of research on this and a lot of things I have read

I would be even more mad if I was driving for Uber in those cities and overnight the government made the decision for me to remove that as an income option.

Tax labor correctly then, so that it reflects how much the government wellfare will need to subsidize. Simplistic feel-good minimum wage laws are creating unemployment. This is a perfect example.
69.
by goalonetwo 3y ago
that is the dirty truth. All of those feel-good minimum wage laws are in fact stealing wages from those workers. Those workers were OK to work for those wages before the law. Now they have nothing. The result is now higher unemployment and

Ah yes... The russiagate. To believe this you need to be ball deeps in democrats-leaning conspiracy theories. This has never been anywhere close to be proven. Having common incentives, doesn't mean that you are conspiring and bought by

Are you working for a vendor? I have worked in multiple orgs that standardized on Kubernetes as end users. Those numbers are coming from my real life experience. If we include all costs it is actually probably way higher than 200k per clust

Is that because as soon as you become a so-called security product you are now selling to the CISO org? My experience with the CISO org is that they love buying expensive B2B enterprise products that have very limited real-life use-cases bu

That whole CloudNative industry seems to be going downhill since the end of the free-money era. It is surprising that it took that long. Very few companies really have the need to run at scale distributed systems on K8S. But as soon as you

by goalonetwo 3y ago
Since the end of the free money era, a lot of people are rightly questioning the microservice/k8s/cloud-native model that requires you to run an operation team of 20 people and has a baseline cost of 200k$/year for a cluster

it completely is and that is the point of the comment. You never hear of the 95% of unsuccessful startups But everyone is following the runbook as if they were the successful 1% (not even the successful 5%, they all act as if they are the t

we all know that once you get 36 Million$ of investment, you cannot "just" run a 50 people startup that will have a stable valuation of maybe 100m$. Once you take big investment it comes with the expectation you will get to 500m$

I really think we are at the inflection point where Google is seen and perceived as the next IBM. More and more people now realize that the ad/attention economy is overall a bad thing for internet/the world. Googler who at some po

Talking to some Googler friends, it also seems like everyone there think they are "leaders". The reality is that most people at google end up working on something meaningless. That's the reality when you are in a company of

Waymo and Cruise are valid comparisons. GCP competitor to Splunk (Stackdriver) is a complete joke. I would be shocked if more than 500 people are working on that thing

What are the chances that a company figures out which employee is posting on HN? Especially if they use a throwaway as is usually the case?

by goalonetwo 3y ago
Yeah I get it. It's not easy. As a rule of thumb we are still aiming to live with 70% of our household income even with a kid so to mitigate for one of us being laid-off unexpectedly. I guess it is a trade-off. We could live slightly b

How are the people making 65k as a household (median income per household in my state) managing this? I don't even understand how 2.5k$ grocery per month is possible. We are 3 in our households (young kid) and probably spending closer

Sure, but in any case having savings (even retirement savings) allows you to not "frantically" look for a job and be slightly more selective.

by goalonetwo 3y ago
Sorry for the intrusive question but if you make software engineer level salary how is it that you don't have multiple months/years saved to mitigate for those possible layoffs? Or did we all fall for the lifestyle inflation trap
