This reminds me of some advice I received from a previous manager. He said that decisions are impossible to make in any meeting larger than 5 people, so I vowed to really pay attention to my invite list and pair it down where possible. His

So these security guards would just happily proceed with a highly illegal activity when some random dude gets in his car and shines his headlights on them?

Interesting take. I never bought into the argument that social media companies were publishers in general, but I do agree that their algorithms used to promote and suggest content can be seen as actively publishing selected information.

My telecom company is not responsible for moderating all speech that occurs over their cellular service. How is this different from FB?

You mention the censorship and info control of the “ruling class” and the “anarcho-tyrannical regime”, but this exact scenario is already happening today and being driven by roving bands of online Leftists. I agree with your premise that ba

This is by design as most EU data privacy/competition laws are thinly veiled attempts to extract bribe money from large US tech firms. Sadly, the US gov is also following down this road.

Sure, but does it happen right next to a world renowned Ebola virus research center?

Wait, the law firm has agreed to give you/pay you in BTC, but they won’t deposit it into a hardware wallet address you provide them? Why do they even care?

I quite enjoyed showing up to my big tech parking lot in the F250. Nobody knew quite what to make of me.

Sure, I should have said without any further harassment. But they did not escalate the situation. I’m sure if I was not very compliant, things could have turned out differently.

You are correct, however it does frame the issue differently, i.e. we need to find out how to not shoot people vs all cops are racist.

I’m talking about a few people I know personally who happen to be cops (some white dudes, some POCs). Obviously this is anecdotal, as is the original comment I replied to. However, I did experience profiling several times when I was younger

Also imagine that your profession has become so highly politicized that many people actually hate you based on some misguided ideology vs how you have actually comported yourself while on the job. While I respect law enforcement, you couldn

I’ve had a completely different experience than you. Cops who I’ve known have been pretty normal, compassionate people. They routinely tell me the most important skill in effective law enforcement is your ability to communicate.

They are talking about total comp which is usually base salary + bonus + stock (RSUs). As the person above mentioned, 50% or more of that $500-600K is most likely made up of stacked stock grants. Even if you sell your RSUs right away, a gra

There is a big difference between illegal tax evasion and leveraging existing tax code to reduce your taxes as much as possible.

One of my previous projects included replacing an Excel/email based approval process with an online process within the system of record. One goal was to reduce outdated offline copies of approval records being stored in people’s inboxe

Did one’s ability to run meetings effectively (or at least perceived as effectively run meetings) factor significantly in promotion opportunities?

Meh, nothing of substance will change through government action. We’ll all clutch our pearls and hope big daddy gov will come to the rescue, but just like Microsoft in the 90’s, a technology paradigm shift will level the playing field and b

Yeah, the first thing my company would log with their newly installed tracking software would be my resignation letter.

You’ve also got to read the room. The mood in the US is not in favor of hard charging mavericks of industry. This approach today would likely backfire spectacularly. Big Tech should be locating large employment centers in strategic location

Every single pre-covid meeting I was in had at least 1/3 remote participants (either WFH or located in other offices around the world).

I also detest the zoom social and avoid whenever possible. My team did have one remote activity which was pretty cool though - a virtual escape room. Everyone was remote but the escape room employees were in the physical space. So we used a

The primary reason for VCs not investing is because their other VC friends have not yet invested. It’s like the old saying, “Nobody wants to invest until somebody invests, then everyone wants to invest”.

So this study meticulously analyzed millions of data points to come up with the brilliant insight of “people most often visit locations that are close to them”?
