I'm not sure how this would "fix" the problems with Bitcoin. It would change perception perhaps but the damage has largely already been done to make it nothing more than speculative and difficult to ground in real world curre

Yes it is extremely broad. And as it is right now, the IRS could use it to go after crypto miners. I think it's more likely that changes are made to that part of the bill to make it more specific before it reaches the courts.

Whichever other countries have the infrastructure to support the required hardware. That's going to keep dwindling if this goes through and other countries follow suit.

The metaphor works for some scenarios like crypto. It definitely doesn't apply to the rise of Pixar

Okay then. Tell me what you think can be done to increase the adoption of EVs in the United States?

I guess we have the OP's article as something available in public media. The infographics are useful for giving a basic idea of how many media companies are under each corporate umbrella. There needs to be more of an understanding abou

That would help but there seems to be no incentive to push anti-trust efforts. Otherwise these mega corporations wouldn't exist in their current behemoth forms. I think public outcry would need to be strong enough to pressure antitrust

The EV fires look worse from a public perception perspective. I am sure there are plenty more fossil fuel car fires, but seeing a full EV car engulfed in flames multiple times is not a great look. I'm just saying they need to do better

That's depressingly accurate. US infrastructure is so bad.I went to Austin a month ago and there are a lot of highways outside of the main city. Biking along those roadways sounds insane.

Thanks!

The worst part about it is that that instability is on public display every time we get another battery fire. It shakes American confidence in EVs when it's the country that most desperately needs to adapt non-fossil fuel cars at a hig

The thing is, a lot of companies are offering 100% now. There is a shift going on. It probably won't be a particularly big shift until larger companies get on board, but it's still moving the status quo little by little.

That would make a hybrid option more palatable since it would in theory allow for more of those kinds of in-person interactions instead of just WFH.
18.
by teslafire124 5y ago
I think employers should be open to what works best for each employee. I am currently WFH but I do server work so I do occasionally need to go to the office for configuring or picking up equipment. I would be okay with doing a hybrid option

I work with a company that has teams spread out across the country and we collaborate via video and text chat all the time. It's just as effective.

It's definitely being attempted but people aren't going to just forget how much better their lives were working remotely. I know it's not a for sure thing but that pressure is building.

I've been able to do that on group calls with a shared screen. MS Teams has been excellent for that.

They can also happen in a chat room or a video call. How often does that kind of conversation organically happen in an office? Maybe with extroverts but introverts tend to keep to themselves in person. They would be more likely to come up w

I think employee demand is going to make a difference. If enough people demand it, these companies will need to bend.

Here's the thing, if you are in a big company and you work with people all over the country, you can still collaborate with them via video and text chat. It would be the same experience whether you are in the office or at home. In thos

I think the pandemic changed things a lot more than we give it credit. A lot of jobs were all of a sudden remote and could be done well remotely. I think we are seeing employee preferences shift to remote work if it's possible. If ther

We will see. If bigger companies like Apple do allow it, smaller ones will be incentivized to also adopt broader remote work policies or risk losing employees to the former.

Yet another reason why it's perplexing they use Slack. It's so easy for Slack channels to devolve into those kinds of chats.

People are legitimately quitting over this. If they don't want to have employee shortages, they will need to adapt and allow it.
29.
by teslafire124 5y ago
If someone would rather work in the office, more power to them. But you can definitely see the hesitancy of employers to allow remote work over in-office work.

That's true, but the conversations are still going to happen elsewhere. Any work-related conversation can get derailed. It sounds like they are using it as a blanket excuse for suppressing discussions they don't want employees to
