It’s really not. Normal attrition rate is probably more than that and a good portion of the people leaving over wfh policies probably would have left for other reasons anyway. So the added resignations over wfh aren’t a huge burden yet .

I can only speak from personal experience, but fwiw I'm currently consulting with 2 non-tech Fortune 500 companies. Both have implemented "hybrid" return to office policies where employees have to live within 100 miles of th

1) Please stop using fatality comparisons when talking about radiation incidents - it's disingenuous. You need to look at total impact, including negative outcomes like cancers and reduced life expectancies rather than outright deaths

Ok, I think a few points of clarification are needed since this article's choice of quotes and framing is strange. 1) The title implies outside funding is needed, but this isn't true. SpaceX estimates it will require $5-10B of in

See [1] for a good summary. Then pair it with [2]. The full picture is, as usual, more complex than a catchy title can summarize, but the trends are pretty clear. If you're in the top 20% of earners, things are improving. If you&#x

I've personally seen it go both ways, depending on the type of restructuring, the type of company, and the direction of the new leadership team. Sometimes you end up with more managers, other times managers are gutted to make the comp

I’d love to see this correlated with data on prevalence of “casual” dating, satisfaction with dating, and something like # of dating partners before marriage. I have a strong suspicion that the rise of online dating has had many not-so-grea

This is demonstrably false with 2 minutes of googling. For example, look at [1]. Most expenditures are not on things that are highly impacted by manufacturing costs, and even with imported manufactured goods or foods a big component of th

I don’t think this is right. I just did a test with a text file and Windows not only found a word only in the title (not in the document text), but also highlighted the title match in the results.

For reference, a nominal 160km diameter would put it around the same size as the 40th largest asteroid known. Huge for an object coming from the oort cloud, but not really huge in comparison to other rocky bodies in the solar system.

This is false. I've worked with many dealerships across different brands and the service department generally makes far more profit than the sales department. This is especially true outside of luxury brands where actual margins on n

"Historically low" does not mean zero. Prices today are 23% more than they were in 2010. So a $20,000 car in 2010 would cost just shy of $25k today even if everything about it was exactly the same.

I think you're misunderstanding the point of this. It's not meant to be a device that people directly interact with. It's meant to be a local server that anyone nearby with a wi-fi connection can tap into regardless of broa

Because the vast majority of ESP32 projects (and R-Pi for that matter) that get posted on here are for basic IoT things that don't need anywhere near the capabilities of an ESP32.

These countermeasures generally only work against drones that are not fully autonomous since they rely on disrupting communication with a ground controller. If your drone is perfectly happy to loiter and kill people based on facial recogni

It’s neither. Unless you’re 1099/hourly or in sales you get paid to be available to work during a set period of time (generally not specific hours), regardless of how much you accomplish during that time. Keep in mind this works both w

That’s not how it works. Most fast food restaurants are franchised, not company owned. An average McDonald’s owner (franchisee) only makes about $150k per year off it [1]. And that’s after investing a rather large sum of money into the busi

You don't need Earth gravity. All the problems with bone loss and ailments are from microgravity. I can't find any studies on reduced gravity (it would be really hard to test), but there's no reason to assume that something

I'm happy to see NASA plan missions to Venus, but also kind of sad that these two are a basic orbiter and a drop pod. I know how much more difficult it would be, but I was hoping for an airship.
