On one hand, meta has a bad reputation for being a toxic pip factory where employees can be laid off any time. On the other hand, they are consistently coming out with innovations in VR/glasses at a time when the industry is going craz

Hundreds of people in my circle who use airbnb and uber daily/monthly disagree with you. Could this be unnecessary pessimism?

Maybe it just needs provenance. So bad actors can't flood the system. Counter to the above is that, your bad actor may be my leader. People like convenience. When someone is expressing what you want to say, in a better and smarter way,

Does this conflate the number of new visas issued to new workers, with the existing visas renewed by already settled-in-US workers (that must be renewed every 3 years)? Because due to the GC backlog, the existing visas do not go down for 2

I recently interviewed an engineer who was somehow using ChatGPT realtime on another laptop beside him. The irony was that the questions were pretty simple overall and our rubric also wasn't very strict, so he likely would have passed

Not to mention you have to be logged in, it's like a paywall for me. I don't want to create an account on X and pay with my mental health.

Bought a DJI drone. Not sure what I expected, but I did expect big changes in my life. Unsurprisingly, I rarely fly it now.
