Just what places exactly are you referring to? I travel all over the US and short of NYC and downtown Chicago, trucks and SUVs are everywhere. Maybe outside the US, but inside the US…these are the norm in my experience.

But is the iPad actually locked down? There are developer tools available. If they don’t meet standard is there anything actually stopping developers from writing a better one? Seems to me the big complaint is not that you can’t write cod

Hardly. The device by its very design and form factor was designed for information consumption as its main purpose. Everything that allows the device to be used for information creation today is an afterthought to the initial design and p

That argument might get SV crowd all riled up, but the bulk of Starbucks employees were and are not WFH. Pretty sure the average Starbucks barista, shop worker, coffee roaster, factory floor worker, delivery driver, etc.. never left “the o

My reaction to this whole controversy is “meh”. I am not sure why this story has the traction it does. It’s literally a global brand that has become synonymous with overpriced coffee and does nearly $25B a year in profit. Does anyone real

As someone with a nearly 40 year career in tech with 30+ in a hiring and management level…I’ll gladly admit that a candidate’s personality and demeanor in an interview factors higher to me than technical ability. Is that a personal bias? Y

“Some or all” in that article is really “at least 1 day a week”. I would offer that in 2024, people would not consider 1 day a week at home (or even 2-3 days a week) a “remote work” position. We call that hybrid work nowadays. So while th

Companies have always picked the venue where their employees work. It’s really only in the last couple of years that certain employees have adopted the attitude that their company cannot tell them where to work for their company . You can

I am not that worried about it. One article and one power plant that is miles away (and already factored in to our decision) is not going to change my mind. It’s Florida—I am more likely to get melanoma from the sun, attacked by wildlife&

It’s my opinion that you have been unfairly downvoted on this comment. This was a reasonable and astute analysis, but I suspect peoples political allegiances and Musk opinions create knee jerk downvote reactions on here. Your comment is p
