> In Seattle and other Washington cities like Olympia they just don’t have a police force that is capable or even allowed to act. You may want to check into this a bit more. As with anything it's much more complicated than that. For

There's two things happening. There's a "{{YOUR_CITY}} is dying" narrative that is constantly being pushed by far-right-owned media companies. It has been going on for years. (see https://www.usatoday.com&#x2F

I am skeptical that the claims made are accurate. I am sure that there is crime in San Francisco, however, SF is a large city, and it doesn't add up to me that a large company would completely move out of an entire city over the issue

Oh man! I remember reading awhile back that the same thing happened at eBay. eBay actually performed the same experiment and found that people were not finding eBay through ads. At least not enough to matter. If anyone has a source for this

Here is why: extraverts who need constant hyperactive human interaction are the only people psychopathic enough to ascend into the leadership tiers that make decisions about remote vs. in-person. So they just can't, and I mean CAN&#x27

Sorry to see this. In 2004, I worked for a major national non-profit in the US. We built our own internal web portal that is essentially what Friday is. Since then, I've seen a lot more interest in this space. Microsoft SharePoint is o

> A page can be terribly designed and render as typewriter text in 80-column ASCII monospace, and readers will still read it, even if they complain about it. Ha! I would never complain about that. I'm a programmer!

I also am having trouble following exactly what you mean, but if you want to check out a classic books about the marriage of product design and technology give Alan Cooper's The Inmates are Running the Asylum a read. It's a shor
