They probably meant exactly what they wrote and didn't need a snarky correction.

I've held off on buying a Tesla because I don't know for sure if the company will be around in several years and I worry about maintenance. News like this obviously doesn't help, b…

Having worked for both companies in my old career this is unsurprising. Marriott has a history of changing things for the worse. One great example is when they bought Ritz Carlton.…

It's the law! I'm not sure how you don't get that. People have to get explicit consent to Terms of Service and marketing. If you don't understand that times change and companies ha…

That's a stretch. I worked on GDPR compliance and it wasn't because of anything underhanded or nefarious. Just had to comply with new regulations.

Implying that white males don't care is not helpful and is both racist and sexist. I'm a white male and I care about abuse and all kinds of other things. Maybe you should do some r…

Because the scooters were already clogging sidewalks and aggravating people. The limit prevents that. Otherwise VC's will invest in ten of these companies like lemmings, kind of li…

tldr; > The Supreme Court, gave its opinion today on Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis and, in a 5-4 split, decided to uphold forced arbitration agreements that preclude employees from p…

It sounds accurate for Grindr, Scruff and Hornet in the world of gay 'dating' apps as well.

I trust that they do, which is more than can be said for Facebook at this point.

Even if they did I doubt Facebook has enough of a handle on their data to avoid the fines for GDPR. They're infrastructure must be massive, and they have a big target on them. I ca…

Maybe if you printed them as a "backup". What makes you think having them is unhealthy?

That it's not a crime doesn't excuse dickishness.

I grew up in Charlotte and a lot of my engineer friends have settled and started families in Raleigh. It's made me consider moving there when I finally burn out on the Bay Area sce…

Sure, but I feel like people just throw that word around so much that it glosses over the fact that people did work hard to get to where they are. Maybe I just have privilege fatig…

My decision to leave a career where I made very little (hospitality), teach myself software engineering, and then make this transition successful was...work, not privilege.

Thanks for sharing these. I'll give them a look.

Sounds like it was less than ideal. I feel pretty good about my prospects where I work now. We have a great culture and are growing. Hopefully if I get into leadership here I wont …

Some background on me: I used to be in management in my old career (hospitality). I burned out and taught myself software engineering. I've been an engineer for a few years now. In…

When I went through this I tried to weigh how much money I was leaving on the table vs how much I valued: already knowing the culture where I work, mostly enjoying the job, loving …

Funny that it mentions TaskRabbit, which hasn't failed (I know because I work there). We pivoted a long time ago sure but that's very different from the fate of the other companies…

I've been hoping funding would slow so all the dead wood (we don't need all these delivery apps) can burn off without adding more to replace them. Hopefully we'll see companies try…

Wow you have a lot of self esteem tied up in your kharma points if you need to go out of your way to post this.
