Agreed, risk of injury does not factor into how long the trip would take given faster speeds. This article is an exercise in narrative nonsense.

Not JP Morgan because of Jamie Dimon. 'Don't invest money in idiots' seems to be one of Warren's basic rules.

You clearly don't even read your own comments.

The data used is clearly listed in the John Oliver video, but you'd have to have checked to know that.

I don't comment on things I haven't read or watched, but it's clear not all of us do that.

Not really (even though the low pay for teachers is a filter for talent) - public school teachers still have to have at least a documented education to teach, and must maintain their certifications/training.

Parents are not required to do any of that.

Here's your chance to get up to speed -> John Oliver breaking it down in a lot more researched detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzsZP9o7SlI

Headline states 'mass exodus', article names three known companies that never actually moved to Austin, then three unknown companies with no context of those companies' workforce or products.

Texas has problems, but this isn't journalism.

Most of this article is paid promotional bullshit, but it shouldn't be a surprise that billions of dollars being thrown at a short term pandemic surge would be an unwise investment.

Ghost kitchens are still a great idea, just not one that will support nonsensical WeWork hype and money.

These consultants have a sweet gig going on. They just interview everyone at the company, write down what the employees say needs to be fixed, then they put it in a report to upper management as expert recommendations.

Then they bill for their time and 'expertise'.

Agreed.

It wasn't worth $44B when he bought it, so I'm not sure why the NY Times would even use that number in any way. If I pay someone $100,000 for a stick they found on the side of the road, it doesn't make that stick worth $100k.

I doubt Twitter was worth $19B even before Musk overpaid for it. It was a 15 year old company that couldn't make money.

When this story came out a couple of months ago, I didn't really understand how this would go undetected for any amount of extended time. One driver keeps having hundreds of dollars in cancelled orders and there's no tracking of it?

Yeah, I cancelled the last time they did that.

States attempting to pass age-verification laws, and large streamers trying to fuck over customers by locking their account access to their home IP.

I've worked there, it's not any different than the rest of the business world.

No, it isn't. Details matter, and if they hiring even 1% too many people, then what else are they getting wrong by 1%? And how many of those things?

The key is that they wouldn't know either. It could be a slow 'death by a thousand cuts' and they wouldn't even know they were bleeding.

This is why companies, even massive companies, generally die eventually. There are very few that last even 50 years without eventually being acquired or bankrupt. And how does it start? Little mistakes, lack of focus, everywhere.

I am friends of a long time, Fortune 50 CFO. Well, he was about 16 years ago before one large company went public and he made about $40M in a single day and decided he wanted to do something new (can't blame him).

He told me repeatedly that companies that lay off the moment a bad quarter appears - or if they lay off employees if they even think the market will slow down - are always terribly run companies.

He said it was a clear indicator of poor internal planning and forecasting, that any company who suddenly needed to shed 5,000 or 10,000 employees on one bad quarter was was one to avoid.

Gaelic football is one of most amazing sports I've ever seen. I had no familiarity with it until a few years ago, but watching someone run with the ball on a pitch, dribble it, then drop kick it at full speed and bend the pass all the way to the other side of the pitch to a teammate is incredible.

I don't know if I agree, this was just 2009. Google, Twitter, YouTube all already existed and I'd been doing web dev work for 10 years at that point. I think tech is still the black box it's always been - just look at how many people are buying things because it says 'AI' in the name right now. If they really had the knowledge of how things worked , they would know better than to pay for that.

We use DevOps for pipelines, but AWS for our prod cloud environment.

Agreed, that's like saying, "it's easy to rob a bank, just get the keys."

There is/was one, Blendle, and it was great. It's still around but the last time I checked it wasn't clear if they were still getting updated content.

When I learned React after two decades of web programming with C#, JS and even older tech like ASP or JSP, it was an effort. React has a LOT of stupid in it, but it's still got some great features.

Next.js fixes quite a few of the initial problems with using React even though there's still some stupid and even some new stupid introduced.

I'm definitely building in Next.js now, not vanilla React.

I think the problem is that SPAs are limited in use, but a lot of devs ONLY build SPAs and that creates a mess. Before Next.js, if I was building anything other than an SPA, I'd really have to wrestle with if I should build it in MVC or React...because it was a lot more trouble in React to do it well. But I don't have that problem with Next.js.

I suspect that people struggling to work with Next.js from React don't have the experience of web app development before React existed, so suddenly they are faced with the same learning curve of people who had to figure out React when they were used to full-stack development.

Lemmy's user base doubled since Monday and heading towards 200,000 plus right now. I definitely think there's a migration, even if it isn't all of Reddit.

Agree with this. When I first hit Mastodon and Lemmy, I was hit with 'Join a server'. OK, but I want to at least start with one that's a 'main'server before I jump somewhere else. I can always splinter off later.

Now that I've been on Mastodon and Lemmy, it makes more sense, but this is a HUGE barrier to adoption.

Thanks for this. I can see Lemmy as a definite alternative now. I joined a couple of Lemmy servers and I definitely like it so far, and I'm looking to move away from Reddit anyway.

Will you be adding the ability to create communities?

Residential leases and commercial leases are wildly different. Residential leases are fairly boilerplate but commericial leases are bespoke and negotiated.

Interesting that although the dollar has declined for the last two decades as the global reserve currency, there apparently is no alternative currency taking its place; rather, countries are slowly moving some currency into assets. They aren't moving US dollars into China's Yuan.

Teams takes all that data, plus all the conversations about it, including audio, IMs, web browsing, etc and creates reports tying it all together. Teams is the 'one ring to rule them all' that allows it to all be coordinated in context. It takes all of data that Microsoft can gather from other apps and weaponizes it into a competitive advantage against its own customers.

For example, if Bob at ABC Company is working on an MS Word doc, yes, Microsoft can steal that data. But it's worse when Teams is on a corporate network, because maybe Bob has a Teams meeting, pulls up the Word doc, discusses it with coworkers Sarah and Bill, and now Teams tracks the doc, the conversation, who was in the conversation and what the conversation was about. It tracks the email conversation that follows. All of this is proprietary information. Teams has handed Microsoft the internal working projects, context, thoughts and strategy of ABC Company.

They are just stochastic parrots. Impressive and useful, but that's all they are.
