I’m sorry I’m pretty pro WFH but AirBnB directly benefits from remote workers setting up seasonal offices from vacation destinations. Part of why their business dropped is they went from nearly seasonal residence rentals for digital nomads

The key to being a walkable city is to developed as a city BEFORE cars. Then they had dense grids because most people walked or took wagons at best. Cities didn’t develop in southern hot climates until really the advent of air conditioning,

I tried added passkeys to my Google account, then tried to login thru incognito browser. It gave me the option for logging in with a passkey — and then showed me a QR code to scan???? Where did I go so wrong??

One other note is the climate in the US is hotter and more humid, which makes perspiration from simply walking a mile a much more impactful exercise than in say London.

I’m skeptical of that mile or less comment. Most likely it involves picking up groceries or other heavy goods, transporting children, and ignores inclement weather — all which are difficult to impossible by bike and a large hardship by foot

My MacBook Pro was supported by OS updates for a DECADE. I have a MS SURFACE Laptop Gen 1 from 2018 I can’t update to Win 11 — and will EOL in 2026. That’s from the flagship microdot branded laptop.

Exactly, we hire a ton of technical Fed contractors, but the pay range capps out at $150k and starts at a level most of HN would find insulting. But it’s considered “tech” at least by NPR.

Wait, how come I can’t find the jokes about starship going up in smoke on 4/20? Are they being moderated away?

I think people are too optimistic about the personal car as taxi approach. For anyone with families, I’ll have car seats installed, often you have personal items which I guess I would have to remember to always lock in the trunk. You will h

As more and more cars become electric, wouldn’t the price of gas also drop in the next decade?

But wouldn’t other manufacturers EVs ALSO have fewer moving parts? Why are there margins so thin?

I thought the intention was for Fed to slow economy, and the flows locked up in this program would be doing that rather than being lent out. What is issue?

Two points 1) HOW did the hackers get their mobile phone number once they had their card? Was it a dark web purchase based upon their name and address? A mailed CC should just have name and address, no email/phone number should be in

The worst is finite PTO, and people coming to work sick to save “vacation” time. Perverse incentive.

Are these people parents? 1 week spring break. 1 week to take kids someplace enriching over the summer. 1 week to take to beach so they can see the ocean and all that. 1-2 week travel for holidays (thanksgiving and Christmas breaks for us)

I haven’t seen the auto DND but putting DND in my calendar events (and could be included with invites/wallet tickets which we would then accept) is a pretty nice idea too. True it is ripe for abuse, hence why I was suggesting a geofenc

I’m so tired of the fake make pay role canard. All depositors had $250k guaranteed at the bat. But sure maybe that’s short for 2 weeks of payroll for many companies. Well FDIC was already cash payout warrants against the size of of their de

So Apple/Google need to come up with a geofenced protocol where once you enter it, the phone enters DND by default. Which means multiple calls from same number go thru, and it could be overwritten for doctors and such, but in general o

I think you actually explain why these interviews are structured this way. Tech is pretty ageist and obsessed with youth, and in fact stodgy aerospace like Boeing and NASA are kind of held in contempt and derided for making peanuts. These

They have to “make payroll” but couldn’t they cut all employees down to minimum wage? And then promise a performance bonus when money is restored and they haven’t quit. Tech workers are usually at will, no union, so I think salary is compl

My expectations is they will liquidate all current holdings of SVB, and probably half their assets are down 20% because of interest rate pummeling of long dated bonds, so maybe everyone gets a check on Monday or Friday for 90% of their tota
