Not exactly shocking if you’ve been following tech layoffs. Companies only need recruiters when they’re hiring.

That’s a luxury that many people in this world can’t afford.

That doesn’t matter to laid off people if most companies have a hiring freeze and there’s net reduction in tech workforce. It means most laid off people won’t get jobs until compan…

People are too fixated on the definition of monopoly. We should just focus on anti-competitive practices.

People like you are why it’s still hard to get ahead as a women. Imagine in every meeting, people assume you’re less qualified for the job before you even start talking.

I can’t believe there are many people who want to be “waited on” by servants. I just want someone to cook and somewhere to sit and hangout with friends without needing to cleanup.

They could have simply banned buying the stock using unsettled cash or margin. Instead they banned all buys and did a terrible job explaining their reasoning.

I’m sure Asians had the highest education and lowest number of kids and previous marriages, so if anything, normalized data would show Asian males are completely screwed. Normalize…

What we really need is better protection for all 1099 workers.

I think a 1% wealth tax is enough to encourage billionaires to move out or CA, but probably not out or US. I doubt most startup founders would consider it when founding the company…

Presumably we would have a vaccine and something like tamiflu for treatment in a few months. Otherwise we're f'd.

What does education, healthcare, childcare, and housing have in common? They didn't get cheaper from outsourcing and automation.

I had a similar experience after my recent job search. The pay gap between startups paying ISOs and larger tech companies paying RSUs was over $100k.

Taxes average 30-40% in CA/NY, lower in WA, which has no state income tax. You are probably thinking about marginal tax rate, not average. Mortgage and property tax in the Bay Area…

With unemployment rate at below 4%, where is the evidence that we have enough automation to warrant UBI?

Better late than never I guess. It's pretty sad how little Craigslist has done to keep up with the times.

It seems like they need to charge more or operate a leaner operation. Even after excluding marketing and sales expenses, they’re still not profitable. They also apparently have 12k…

Just look at the top paid 10% of any of these engineering organizations and you will find far more managers/directors than individual contributors.

This 100%. Having been both engineer and manager, I have to say it is much harder for engineers get promoted beyond the senior level, so pay is going to be higher over time for man…

It’s also much easier to get promoted as a manager M1 to M2 vs senior engineer to staff engineer. Managers automatically have a lot of impact across multiple teams, but it’s much h…

Isn’t this tax on ad revenue already a good proxy for the value of user data?

I was supposed to mentor an intern this summer but his OPT didn't get approved in time. This is such bullshit.

Provide cheap and good public edu I’m is the solution in every other developed country. Stop encouraging schools to increase tuition.
