Yeah for some reason when SpaceX did it we couldn’t stop hearing about it. When OldTech does it, nobody cares.

It's all of those things. To put it simply, Google is not that attractive anymore. They are the IBM of our generation.

bad analogy. An Adblock would be similar to blocking part of my windshield so I don't see the highway ads. No fraud there.

we glorified companies like Google.

A lot of those people work for adtechs. Once you realize that 50% of bigtech is relying almost entirely on ads, a lot of people are simply advocating for keeping their FAANG salari…

following your logic, people should actively engaged with ads if not they are grifting. Please tell me you work for google?

Ben who?

Seems like last minute news to avoid a MSFT stock dive tomorrow morning.

Have switched from a 90$/month ATT plan to a 30$/month Mint plan, all unlimited. Yeah the coverage is maybe slightly worse and I'm sure that I get "deprioritized" but worth the 720…

Most people have kids because they see it as a positive personal trade off (when you are older and you have a family that will come to visit you for example). Most people are not t…

Exactly. He was not brave enough to stop by himself and made everything worse as a result. Sometimes everyone is a victim.

you nailed it. It is virtue signaling. A theater to display to everyone that you are on the right side of the debate and that you are taking covid seriously. I would even bet that …

I don't think that's it. What is happening is a compliance test. You are only tolerated if you agree and comply with the woke politics of the day.

you don't seen to realize the irony that under the appearance of "being welcoming", those committees are only welcoming to whoever complies with their political agenda.

I am an introvert and absolutely hate group behaviors and nonsensical smalltalk around lunch time. However I have no issue being a manager and talking to people on 1:1s or with a c…

The typical googler is a 20 or 30-something that has close to zero life interest outside work. I would not expect them to want to stay remote as their social life revolves around G…

Do you have any proof of pee in a bottle? Or are you blindly believing the narrative that the New York times put out to drive clicks? Not saying it's not true but please be more cr…

I find it refreshing to see a company openly tweeting what they think and not issuing boring PR statement. It is probably going to cost them a lot in backslash though
