Maybe this is an unpopular opinion because it is misogynistic garble. I think you should spend less time giving advice and more taking it.

I don't love using slippery slope arguments, but I feel that it's appropriate here...

Because Google is the decider of what constitutes "slow"? You have a single organization deciding what the threshold is between slow and fast. And, they also have a Google-approved…

Walled gardens and proprietary software can allow for fantastic user experiences in a way that open platforms often cannot match. However, I feel focusing on the user experience mi…

"A history". As I said, you are interpreting that word differently than they are. I think it's valid to interpret "a history" to mean "something that happens with some amount of fr…

The person you are replying to didn't say it's impossible for a cyclist to kill a pedestrian, just that it doesn't happen very often. They cited a statistic, you found an anecdote …

What's the benefit of targeting only people who have been part of a high profile layoffs? Seems like a smaller pool on both sides-less people to recruit, and less recruiters who sp…

Sure, its possible that they place "greater emphasis on academic education" etc., but then you have to ask yourself what is the reason behind this. As an Asian American who has had…

On the flip side, in college you learn why stating something is true 100% of the time can be problematic.

So the bar you're setting is based on the some of the bloodiest conflicts in human history?

Employees "would be paid a week of severance" - I haven't gone through something like this, but that seems low. I know when the money runs out it runs out, but I hope employees wer…

You don't understand why it's informative to hear a viewpoint on a topic from someone who has had a different experience than you? Why are you on this site?

The job of the guild / union isn't to give everyone a job who wants one, though. It's to ensure that people who have a job are treated fairly.

Funnily enough, I am one of those people-my partner and I have one car between us (in LA), and I rely pretty heavily on Uber pool (or the Lyft equivalent) to get around on a day to…

Which LA is thankfully building

You say "even with higher pricing", but are also saying that higher pricing (due to taxes) would ruin the services? Uber and Lyft fares are unsustainably low right now, and at thei…

I think it's simply a byproduct of silicon valley's fetishization of the word "failure". Anything that isn't a runaway success is re-contextualized as a "failure" so that it can fu…

I bet there are far more people who didn't leave similarly-positioned-but-unsuccessful startups and regret it... maybe spurred on by the survivorship bias (or non-survivorship bias…

Specifically, the New York Times and the New Yorker. They've both been around for 100+ years. Sometimes the tech industry bubble produces hilarious comments...

The system as it currently stands is also being wrecked by human nature, though...

How do you figure-do you have any specific cases you're thinking of? Like the platform itself, the brand and positioning of a company is constantly evolving.

I can't speak to individual anecdotes, I was talking about healthcare spending overall. It's not speculation, here are some sources: https://wire.ama-assn.org/ama-news/growth-healt…

How do you figure? Please elaborate on this. I don't see how subsidized premiums and guaranteed coverage would be a detriment to freelancers... Yes, the cost of healthcare was chea…

Dictionaries reflect common usage and shared understanding, they're not some infallible source. If the technology community started using the term "open source" in a different way,…

Snark aside, it is good to take a step back and re-evaluate life priorities. And also importantly, to be more mindful of work life balance... and if you're in a position to do so, …
