> They put the cabs out of business. That was inevitable. The taxi companies had a horrible experience for arranging a ride, ride quality, agreeing on price, and paying. The last time I decided to take a taxi instead of Uber I was remind

I am so angry that Toyota required me to sign up for their connected services to use remote start. What a joke. The leadership at the company responsible for this should resign.

I’m wondering how this stands up against Garmin’s MIPS display fitness watch. I love GShock design, but Garmin seems to be winning the fitness enthusiast market. This Gshock watch is a collaboration with Polar.

That’s not necessarily true. The biggest resource constraint on the earth we can’t live without is food and we are extremely inefficient at producing it. Right now it takes large fields of biological crops, but the future might solve that p

How is it sacrifice? Many people simply don’t want kids or can’t afford them. Has little to do with sacrifice.

Don’t forget backhaul bandwidth. All of the 5G cell sites need their backhauls upgraded to realize that the spectrum can support.

Probably advanced Q&A chatbot trained on your company’s documents. Imagine how that could improve onboarding if you can ask AI how things work in your company.

I saw a meme recently that illustrates this well: “Old way: 2 hours to write code, 6 hours to debug code. New way: 5 minutes to tell chatgpt what to code, 24 hours to debug”

Many schools spend a lot of money on everything but the teachers. Voucher run schools are like small experiments to do things differently.

Make sure IEP is covered as part of the law and the budget is allocated adequately? This is a hypothetical law, you can suggest whatever you want for the sake of discussion.

The most important thing for young student success is small class size. These concerns you have are more applicable for older students but I’m sure there’s ways to mitigate them.

Instead, allow for a voucher system where parents can apply the equivalent amount of money the public school spends and apply it towards private schools. Make it easy for teachers to start their own school or coop to compete for vouchers. D

Yes. There was transparency about hiring plans and how low CoL areas were targeted. I would expect transparency on the other end of employment.

The problem is when you hire those high CoL areas, extract value by training others, and then discard them. This will make high CoL workers more hesitant to join a globalized employer.

There’s a lot of value in those high CoL areas. A lot of concentrated knowledge and skill is in the Bay Area.

As a former GitLab employee from an expensive region, I’m a little concerned Sid didn’t layout the layoff process more transparently. Were high earners more likely to be laid off while lower CoL areas were kept? This was always a distant fe

The use of the term “macroeconomic” has become so overused and cringe at this point to conceal the true complexity of what is going on.

Imagine how expensive it was to shoot down this balloon. We sent an expensive F22 which burned a ton of fuel and then shot a very expensive missile at the balloon AND several ships had to clean up several miles of debris?? Send China the ch

This. I’ve interviewed some amazing talkers with epic resumes. I’ve had people try to hog the mic to charm me but then when it came down to coding they couldn’t produce any working code in the language of their choice.

100%, the future of tech hiring needs to be more data based and less “this is my kind of person” based. This is why prestigious companies have hiring committees and have well honed processes.

Anyone else surprised how many candidates can’t code without autocomplete? I let candidates google answers and some still gripe about not having autocomplete. We code in a web app, so it makes me wonder how they would perform on a whiteboar

I agree, but unfortunately we won’t realize this until years after ICE banning laws go into effect. Poor people will continue to buy used ICE vehicles as they always have. The issue of EV cost won’t become apparent until the remaining ICE v
