I actually agree with you 100%. I didn't express myself clearly. I meant: Both employees and employers should have the freedom to choose whether to work fully onsite, fully remotely, or hybrid, based on their preferences.

to be fair the author mentions in the README that the project was built to validate the idea. I think if you're just trying to validate an idea it's totally fine to be using thin wrappers

For most applications, packaging all the data and submitting it to OpenAI won't be feasible due to the limited token window size. I think the most common design pattern nowadays goes like this: 1. Chunk all your data (e.g. per paragrap

Additionally, who would verify where does Bob actually live? Maybe he also lives next door to the office but told the employer he lives 4 hours away? Very interesting idea but impractical. I think that the remote vs onsite aspect eventually

You're right. I must have remembered wrong.. or maybe it has changed for worse recently? My initial claim only works for Uber Eats. It can only be used for ordering food. There's a button to order a ride but it redirects to the Ub

1. I actually also think it's not beneficial. However, company leaders must realise of this side-effect yet it doesn't stop them from lay-offs. I just wanted to point out a difference vs regular attrition, since this was the quest

I think there are several reasons to do it this way: - Effective number will be higher because some employees will be disgruntled because of the layoff event and will leave on their own. It's usually estimated that the effective number

It's a bit ironic. You just stated your opinion without explaining why you think that way.

I think that one doesn't exclude the other. You can still write a multi-message commit with two messages: 1. Short summary of what is being changed 2. Explain WHY I think the point is that even if 1. is missing it can be worked-back by

Keep in mind that the companies listed on that website are hiring globally. By not disclosing a salary range these companies would only cut off three states of ONE country. Also, I'm pretty sure that if most of these companies disclose

Even if you move between countries you still must have a tax residency somewhere. So you're employed from the place where you have your tax residency.

Many of them hire you as a contractor, of course. However, I noticed that more and more companies use an "HR as a service" (e.g. deel.com) to act as an intermediary who has an official branch in most countries and takes care of al

You're right. The point I was trying to make is that subsidising poor and middle-class by re-allocating resources is better than printing money to give stimulus checks.

Isn't inflation only caused by governments spending money only if money is printed in the process? Otherwise, it's just a re-allocation of money within a fixed budget. E.g. instead of money being allocated to building a new road i
