We could also give them a clear, short path to citizenship if we didn't have enough. Instead we do our best to keep it as chaotic as possible so that those SWE we need can't push for 175/225k

"We want women's energy and time" seems to indicate "not women" want women's energy in time. If you will not pay "women" to take care of "their children" rather than, say..."the future

The direction is great. The communication and customer support leave a lot to be desired. The thing is, its hard to have a product thats important to you and does cool things but also you don't rely on for anything crucial. Esp when it

Your argument smacks of insincerity due to its limited scope of viewing SAHMs as moms providing childcare. 1/ You haven't mentioned how that SAHM must get a cooking credit, healthcare, retirement or house management credit or anyt

No. Are men "leaving their children and working all day"? Should we not pay them to stay home? This view is either fully gendered or assumes that all families are made up of two people and one person's wages should support a

This is so intensely misleading. The trains are new. The wires etc they run on aren't. When there's funding to update those, the trains will run faster. If this was done in the opposite way, we likely would still be working on inf

Well lets think about it. Software devs jobs getting less cushy is no biggie. We can afford to amp up the efficiency. Teachers jobs got "less cushy" -> not great for users/consumers or the ppl in those jobs. Doctors jobs

This feels like you don't actually have experience with consulting. The amount of hierarchy and peer review is extensive and apprenticeship was core to my experience in multiple consultancies. One might say post-covid, in a pro-hybrid

Because when the person who quits their job becomes in some other way disenfranchised or their partner is unable to work for some reason, there is no safety net, no savings and no established career they can find their way back into. Health

"All markets cater to those who can afford it" I'm not sure this is true. PE driven markets currently seem to cater to the break point. What is the absolute most I can charge until someone will walk away? If I break it into a

You're asking if ~35% of people currently working stop, would childcare and pet care as industries begin to disappear I think, definitely. I also think there are several knock-on effects that might take the better part of a generation,

I just had this conversation with a friend today. Yes - given a small number of rights that frankly we should have always had - women have found all kinds of representation in education, salaries and diverse paths in life. Paths not previou

It might not be fun but the term is great! 'Rumor Driven Development' - definitely keeping this in my back pocket. In consulting you tend to encounter this a lot given that its the largest visible symptom of a lot of root problems

Is it the tyranny of the majority? Is the majority really pushing for chromebooks or to get work emails at 9pm or the LLMs which -we breathlessly read every day for 4 years now- will make people jobless? There are certainly conveniences - w

The thing is some of these tools have enduring 100s of years. Multiple generations. Others have changed in just a single generation to be nearly unrecognizable (ipod -> iphone)and their existence can be wiped away by trend/market ma

Have you ever seen that meme about having less days off than a medieval peasant? Yes, I can get chicago, new york, italian, or tokyo style pizza from my phone, in about an hour in a city that is none of those places. Still even my weekends

Surely we're understanding that VCs are playing a stronger game in the software industry. Cost of goods is lower, overhead is lower in software than in all the items you mentioned and VCs starve out other players by reducing their cost

Such a good question - I hope someone answers with more than an anecdote (which is all I can provide) - I've found the skills that don't leave you like riding a bike, swimming, cooking are all physical skills. Tangible. The skills

Many, Many millions have been made on pennies pulled from consumers daily. $3 in a personal vacuum is one thing (and still adds up if you consider each service that could do this) $3 across 20% of users, lets say, globally, daily. Adds up.

I think you've missed what the protest is. People are against the government action they are using the first amendment -- which is part of what makes america great -- to say they are against it. You can say, rightly, there's a car

I can't overstate how absolutely separate this is from reality. Yes there are protests, largely peaceful and in a tremendously small part of Los Angeles. In fact, in terms of sheer size, its less than half the size, in sq miles, of the
