I think it's completely right. I virtually completely stopped using Lyft//Uber since they increased prices in SF. I know a lot of other people that stop using them also. Most rides are above 15$ which is above what I'm r

Same here. My group of friends we all have an account but we very rarely post anything. I only connect maybe once a week max to see if I have some notifications. Every once in a while I think about deleting my account but then I remember I

Working somewhere and seeing a place from the inside has nothing to do with the fact that the company is toxic or not. I think we all agree that Facebook takes really good care of their employees and keep them happy, whatever it takes. That

I cannot stand Alex Stamos takes on all of this. He WAS the CISO for Facebook during all the biggest scandals. He WAS the person responsible for overseeing all of this. He decided conveniently to exit Facebook once the bad press came over a

those are bullshit stats. They compare overall crashes in all kind of normal highway environment and all kind of drivers and vehicles with the very selective places where the Tesla users decided to enable autopilot. Tesla users are also mor

It's sad that their stocks are still up after the announcement. It is also sad that Facebook is still seen as a somewhat prestigious employer. Some of my friends still brag about working there as if it was the pinnacle of their tech ca

> Over-justifying myself That one resonated a lot. It looks to me like in a lot of micromanaged places people need to over-explain why they need to Work From Home or leave early or take a sick day. I have struggled with that also but for

Quillette is not an alt-right publication. It probably doesn't feed easily into your liberal world-view narrative, but they are the other side of the spectrum of publications like the NYT and it is more needed now than ever.

The issue is that John Oliver whole business is to try to make humorist exaggerated content look like real life facts. Every other week there is a John Oliver monologue that gets hyped and it seems that no one looks at it with a critical ey

People are reacting badly to the idea of 10* engineers because it goes against the idea that we are all equals and can all make it. I see it as a political stance, For some reason a lot of developers seem to believe in the idea of "equ

For working in that field, the arrogance of CloudFlare is still unbelievable to me. After their huge Cloudbleed issue with the addition of this one, they continue to call out everyone through their blog posts. And everyone seems fine with i
