Remote work expanding the pool of worker supply will cause wages to go down. If there are 100 people competing for a position, there is much less upward wage pressure than if there are only 10 people. Conversely, there are now more jobs for

Anecdotal, but from what I have seen: people who are fearing being laid off are either a) already looking for another job or b) cruising until they do get laid off.

Productivity and the link to wages has diverged lots since the 1970s in the US. In a vacuum it certainly follows that productivity should enable wage growth, this hasn’t played out as much in the real world. Once you factor in inflation, wa

A difference in today's world is that private companies are amassing data that then gets turned around to the highest bidder. The government may not have had an interest in collecting the data before but now the friction to obtaining

Food delivery products and companies are definitely not moving up market. Valuations have plummeted and many are still struggling to turn a profit despite layoffs and cutbacks.

I think food delivery at scale is unprofitable, at this point the technology in those apps doesn’t really have a moat. The next logical big step is to have drones delivering the stuff, and at that point you have this massive amount of tech

Because I put it a 9$ burrito in the cart and somehow at checkout the price ends up being 25$ before tip. The only way I use those apps is if I have really good incentives/discounts…so maybe I am not the target market, happy to eat in

The VCs are hoping to hype the product enough in the early stage to achieve a lucrative exit, and do that 10% of the time(or whatever). What happens with the product once the company is public is not of their concern.

Not sure why you got downvoted, its true. These platforms are all a race to the bottom to capture market share and then jack up of prices to recover lost revenue. Overall, it ends up being a terrible experience for the customer and the driv

"well the American alpine club has an average income that's in the six figures iirc" how do you even come by information like this? The lowest membership fee is 45$ and as you mentioned it filters out a significant portion of

I am not saying it is crazy to think that some people get by with the help of their parents, but to blatantly just generalize "these granola types" who just accomplished one of the absolute craziest climbs in history...comes off a

Not related to this endeavor but I generally watch people pool enough money from jobs here and there to 'take a shot' at something like this(and obviously everyone's risk tolerance and personal achievement will vary). I do th

This is an amazing achievement, almost unfathomable the level of fitness, trust in your teammates, and expertise that they need to even have a shot at this thing.

If this was known prior to you taking the job, I can hardly see anything to be mad about...I think this is what compromise might look like for some organizations. What you are looking for is "remote only" not "remote first&qu

I think as long as they also learn to stay somewhat skeptical and question things, this is great! Even for adult learning, this is a great approach.

You would be surprised how having riches does not stop people from continuing to be greedy. Weird to bring Ukraine and Russia into this...

Securities fraud hasn’t stopped countless CEOs and people in high power positions from embellishing, lying, thieving their way to riches.

The fact that you think Altman came around yesterday just shows that you live under a rock. The fact that you think “non-technical” people don’t contribute meaningful value is also worrisome.

Something that benefits all of humanity in one person's or organization's eye can still have severely terrible outcomes for sub-sections of humanity.

What happens if the sound alike is given away for free and there is no profit or even revenue component?

I used to play a ton online before Black Friday shut it down, and I wasn’t really profitable, but learning the game…it was one of the most fun and frustrating things I have ever experienced. And it basically disappeared overnight…

Good observation! Fasting in general is usually at minimum 8 hours, which is also around the time we sleep. There seems to be some evidence that the longer one fasts, the better the benefits. You would be surprised how many people in the US

Intermittent fasting has no strict minimum that you have to fast, it can be 10-12 hours and still be intermittent fasting.

I think it’s not so much about getting a conversion right there and there, but slowly chiseling away at someone’s willpower so that eventually they do buy the thing…whether it’s from their couch or somewhere else. Also, if you’re about to g

You are deeply overthinking things, or best case scenario you are being too philosophical. Playing games with you must be a hoot. "My reality" is almost an incomprehensible array of things that are going on, some of which are in m

This seems like an extremely over complicated way of defining a game. If I play chess, or a video game, or tennis, I am not doing those things to 'understand my reality'. I am doing them because it is usually fun and gives me s

These are all things that we were doing in person as well...is in person work not a video game that pays then?
