Nowhere. People comparing it to Digg more than a decade later are wildly out of touch with the current state of the internet.

I was only aware of a few households that owned a computer in the late 90s/early 00s. And only one had reliable dialup. My closest friend got DSL in 2000-ish. But again, it was because his dad worked from home occasionally. No one else

Perhaps the new part is that it's now accessible to everyone and not just tech-savvy/nerd-types/households with enough income to blow on a PC.

So your argument is that people shouldn't be paid for their labor because the companies profiting from that labor might not be able to profit?

Myspace was for young online people. I was on Myspace. It was tough to even convince half of my friends during that time that being online was fun, let alone being on a social network that didn't really facilitate communication. Digg w

Perhaps, Mercedes is luxury though. People are more likely to purchase something that provides better value/size/gas mileage that costs 40% less.

Different size class. The Outback is a lifted large sedan with an extended trunk, there aren't any vehicles on the market that compare to it except perhaps the Toyota Venza. Outback "competes" with the crossovers which are us

I think you've made an incorrect conversion to metric units. First off, if you're not in the US, make sure that you are converting from a US gallon, and not imperial gallon. 35 MPG (US gallons) = 6.72 Liters per 100 km

It has quite a bit of ground clearance despite it's low profile. It's higher off the ground than more popular models like the CR-V, RAV4, Highlander, etc.

As someone who just sold a house in Halifax last year, and with friends who weren't as lucky to have bought a home in the 2000s, I think you can safely remove that city from your list. We moved to a town a couple hours away from Toront

I wonder if this is at all related to the massive wave of hatred for Bored Apes/Lions, etc. Even putting aside people's issues with the concept of NFTs, people seem to agree the art is somewhere between bad and revolting. Except f

While I agree that FB has fallen down the list, Amazon will have to improve a lot to get bumped from the bottom of the list. Hiring bar at Amazon is lower, WLB widely recognized as terrible, constant stack ranking horror stories, etc.

Not everybody wants to be a founder or deal with the bad WLB of a startup. It's nice to be paid a reliable 400k/year and work on something you think is cool.

Yeah this is the shitty part of it. I did eventually find success. But that took years of not just grinding LC, but so many failed interviews. And nearly $1k on mock interviews and books. It's clear these companies are selecting for

This is already slightly out of date. Lots of Bay Area companies hiring in Canada and boosting salaries across the board + RSU grants. The wave started just before COVID and job openings are exploding.
