American business culture is: * There’s always a middleman * It is expected that you will be grifted as much as is legal

I was drawing that comparison because often pricing is blamed on minimum wage primarily and exclusively especially as business owners lobby against wage increases, while saying nothing about real estate costs. Wages become a bogeyman and on

Wondering whether an experiment where a restaurant charges a flat amount, no tip, no taxes would do well right now. It feels impossible to leave the house even alone without spending $40 on even the smallest meal that isn't fast food.

Discord, telegram. Maximizing the information pipe is no longer the problem, it’s filtering it properly. /r/all is sometimes fun but often too broad and shallow

> It seems like all of the FAANGs have made severe strategic cockups when it comes to hiring lately. My understanding is it is simply firing season because markets will not punish companies for layoffs right now. Being in the job market

Feels like a passing of the generational torch as elsewhere in the thread there’s large arguments about pronouns while younger people who are way past that are out here getting into wide open Jenkins servers for active airlines lol

It always feels like a build-it-yourself vehicle. Using it as a daily driver when you need to get to work on time is not advised. Even when you get it running for a while, the breakage is inevitable, and you'll be under the hood. It is

His intelligence and maximum capability aside, it is his inconsistency and sociopathic levels of impulsivity that are what is causing his bank to drain right now. I’m surprised I have any surprise left that pg has so much tolerance for comp

It’s because whatever the next step is is far off in the distance, and very gatekept. People don’t have much opportunity, and frequently don’t have much in the way of community either. Yes it is bleak. I still believe it’s still possible to

The real problem (in the US) is that for many many people on the app there’s absolutely nothing real to really look forward to. There’s a bit of a doom on a lot of the younger generations who are gonna be the ones to handle the effects of c

You really can't fake genuine emotional engagement and secure attachment, and when those aren't there there are absolutely no way to "force" it to happen. If your child doesn't feel safe telling you about their hope

> It's not hypocrisy. A child and a retiree are not even remotely comparable. One is accountable to their parents, the other has likely worked their ass off for decades to earn a bit of down time. Interesting that the perceived need

Luck, connections, and determination in that order to get me in the door. Luck for having computers around all the time and the privilege of being able to have worked on them and spent lots of time with them growing up. This gave me a reall

It’s interesting to me because the only thing the sites have of any differentiator of value is the userbase. Without that they are really a fairly homogenous set of features, and most of the work has gone into advertising. Tiktok also dispe

I think it is objectively obvious, most of the time, when a video is doctored or a false statement is presented as fact. I'd rather not live in a place where absolutely nothing is real. Societies crumble under such a culture. Birds are

This is hyperbolic in the extreme - the only things I've seen on the election information is tagging conspiracy theories for which there is no evidence, or noting that videos going viral are faked. Every time I see people advocate for

We’re the richest country in the world and yet that lasting prosperity only seems to exist for a few. Maybe we’re going about this wrong. Maybe being heartless and coldly efficient doesn’t create lasting prosperity.

My apologies, it might have been more accurate to say "in the US and similarly uncivilized countries".

Many will be fine, there also may be many who will not. Not everyone makes that much at twitter, not everyone is in a role that is competitive right now. The ones who make the least are the ones who will suffer the most. Stop being callous.

Since apparently nobody else in the thread has any empathy for those who've lost their jobs, future access to healthcare (in the US and less civilized countries), and financial security, I guess I'll be the first: I feel bad for p

Not a single one of your links relates to a privacy "violation" though. Once again, I'm asking someone to tell me what they take that Google and Meta don't.

Examples of this in practice? I've never seen a magic doc for a large org that changes strategy frequently that is up to date for more than a year.

Can someone tell me what they track that say, google or meta doesn't? I have yet to see anything that is tracked that isn't a part of the internet ad ecosystem invented here in the USA. Yet there's a huge political movement t

You’re almost there - which systemic problems in society are creating this elysium like class system where we jeer about the battles of the ascendant elite vs the shrinking bourgeois in a city where people beg for water on the street?
