Doing this on a few weeks notice seems rather insane to me. Unless you have very good remote work options this is very disruptive for employees.

Shifting offices is also a way to get rid of staff without having to fire or lay them off.

Didn't he already fire most of the staff there? Who's left to fire?

Until Boring Company sets up multiple pickup points with Loop and Hyperloop tunnels; then will arguably be a max 20-30 minute ride. The dynamics of travel will dramatically change multiple industries, save for if the status quo establishment and industrial complexes through regulatory capture prevent the rapid expansion of the paradigm shift in transport that Boring Company is rapidly developing; the technology of wh…

How big is their network so far?

I haven't looked into it recently, however their Las Vegas network is going and expanding; 40 million people per year travel to Vegas, a great testbed and for exposure.

More like the easy commute you had in San Francisco on muni (the bus and subway network of San Francisco) becomes an annoying hour and a half-long commute on bart (The regional train system) with 2-3 transfers

I have him blocked but the CEO has 200 million followers. Even assuming 20% are real people, I'd imagine there's quite a few of those who'd love to work at his company.

Why do you have him blocked, and just not following him?

I don’t know if you’ve been on X lately but even if not following him you can receive push notifications from his tweets. Tested this on multiple accounts now, he’s unavoidable unless blocked and sometimes not even then because of all the bootlicker accounts that screenshot and repost his tweets. Frankly it’s made the platform unusable to me, almost nothing he posts is interesting or worth reading.

As a UK chap, can someone give me their opinion on if San Jose is a more pleasant place to live than San Fran these days?

Really depends what you are looking for. And are you asking about the two cities themselves, or south bay vs north bay?

Why is the number of people in LA relevant when the ridership peak is 1,355 an hour.
