> What globalization did to manufacturing jobs, remote work will do to many service jobs. This is bait. It's taken as a given rather than a hypothesis to be proven, which invalidates most of this post for me. Issues with the analogy

You read my mind. This is awesome. Wonder how hard it'd be to DIY a smartphone and go from there.

As it pertains to statecraft, what is the point of bringing up "insurrections"? It just seems like a pedantic red herring to avoid discussing war. Insurrections are either aborted attempts to start wars and brutally suppressed, or

I don't think this logic applied to humans actually is inaccurate. For much of human history, extended family cohabitation was the norm, and the standard American nuclear was a radical, almost unimaginable idea. Most animals operate on

This should really be the pinned comment, as it does tell you everything you need to know. You've always had to move somewhere more expensive/with a heavier tech center gravity to have your career take off whether it's in ter

Because you, the laborer, begin as a fungible commodity to a company that very much operates on a short-term, quarterly basis. But with that said, it's certainly possible that Facebook will need to functionally do as you described and

A thorough reading of history shows that violent uprisings are de facto _what_ is effective, and certainly in post-industrial modern times. Empires cede control of territory when they become too expensive to maintain. Usually, that is in te

Upvoted because you ask a great question. I'm just speculating here, but here are a couple points for further questioning: 1) How many people transfer to rather than from the Europe or India office? I'd wager that it's mostly

Remote positions are not monolithic. Some are highly selective and highly compensated. Others are the opposite. If you're looking at a random cross section of the global remote opportunity pool, you're likely going to see reversio

Simple concept, but it hits me right in the nostalgia, presumably as intended. Very well done.

There was a relatively viral tweet I saw a few weeks ago saying "Gen Z career options: Fulfillment Center worker or OnlyFans" with gendered undertones. For what it's worth, though, while less common, it's not that rare t

If you only meant the statement as a rhetorical device or devil's advocate then the second part doesn't really apply to you. For what it's worth, I do think there's value there, so here's how I would have phrased th

Yeah I get it, I just don't buy it. Move to a higher COL area, and you tend to get access to a market with expanded labor demand. So, it's $HIGHER_COL_MARKET_EMPLOYER (or $HIGHER_COL_MARKET if you catch my drift) increases your wa

I think you have things the wrong way around. If you are able to pass the interview bar for a selective company that pays market rate in a tier-1 tech city, then yes, you get to move. But, if you don't, you won't get the job wheth

I agree with your criticism in that the form and tone really do get in the way of a clear communication of his point. But I don't think it negates that he does have a point, which is that IQ is "scientistic" rather than scien
