On other ways to commute: You assume that people who commute by car do so because they want to, instead of going by train. I don't think that is the case.

On people who refused to get a good WFH setup (e.g., WiFi): I bet those are terrible people to work with in the office, too.

& I agree with your last point.

Yes, I would say so, nice observation. I also think that many "idea guys" are doing the performative role of "the leader", i.e. the idea guys doing the corporate/business drag of the "thought leader".

In the case of Linus Torvalds and others like Guido van Rossum, I think is fine to consider them leaders, because they are leading their projects - to a certain extent these projects are not theirs (only) anymore, nonetheless they IMO they can claim or get the leader title.

I agree, and my "favorite" title is Thought Leader.

In my experience, people who call themself leaders, are often not performing very well in their main role, which usually happens to that of a people manager.

IMO the Zuck just gave Elon a lesson on how to be a grownup CEO.

I am wondering if it has to do with chip shortages and supply chain issues, due to that I can imagine that the current offering became unsustainable.

Any specific reason why is emptying out?

I also used it, and I can say that it's an excellent tool/app.

Europe was more expensive a couple of years ago. Now is much cheaper, just pick equivalent cities and compare them on Numbeo.

e.g. Hamburg vs Seattle https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

The past years I used to travel each year to US, in different parts (Dallas, Chicago, Seattle etc...) and I always had the impression that USA is way more expensive - from the perspective of someone who goes to a restaurant and enjoys good food and a good bottle of wine.

Also health insurance is cheaper here, and my coverage is very good.

Exactly my feeling and I also feel that sometimes we underestimate the "ability and efficiency" of small teams. I start to believe that a small core team (not to read few contributors) can have a larger impact than an organization.

"An Orange spokeswoman was quoted by Reuters as saying: "We will take legal action in the next few days because we want to know more about the eventuality that Orange data may have been intercepted."

Orange is yet to decide to whether to take an individual action or to join the current legal action launched against the federal project.

Under the surveillance programme, the federal government had collected metadata including telephone numbers, times and dates of calls, calling card numbers and the serial numbers of phones processed by various operators in the country."
