While I agree with your sentiment, the article seems to be referring to being able to afford vacation trips, not that vacations are unpaid.
Re:YouTube's $60B revenue revealed amid paid subscriber push on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @11:40PM (#46970915)
325M is the number of subscribers, not revenue. Revenue from paid subscriptions is estimated to be about $20B [1]

> I could see a scenario where voluntary attrition helps them get reduce size more organically and with lower cost than a layoff

This is exceptionally hard on immigrants on a visa, who have limited options to leave voluntarily.

Can you share some of these?

This looks good, but this is an outdoor weather station. OP is asking for an indoor air quality monitory.

Re:BP quits Russia in up to $25B hit after Ukraine invasion on Sunday February 27, 2022 @05:42PM (#30493530)
They appear to have said [1] they'll supply (finance + deliver) aircraft (which presumably the Ukrainians have the expertise to operate, per [2]). They have not said they'll send in an air force (operated by non-Ukrainians), which as you point out, they don't yet have.

Re:Mitsubishi plans to include scene-aware interaction in cars on Saturday February 26, 2022 @10:45AM (#30478483)
This article is written by Mitsubishi engineers but in the style of a news report with a sensationalized headline ("At last" ...). I'm noticing more of these - seems like a new (?) marketing trend. Nothing wrong with that objective, but does throw me off - I typically expect hard tech from the Spectrum.
Re:Is it time to remove reiserfs? on Wednesday February 23, 2022 @10:06AM (#30441786)
I presume by personality they're referring to Hans Reiser, the creator of ReiserFS, also a convicted murderer.

Past HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2131221

Very much agree with the simplicity and power of separation of training, validation and test sets. Is this really a 'big data' era notion though? This was fairly standard in 90s era language and speech work.
Re:Google Tag Manager, the new anti-adblock weapon (2020) on Sunday February 20, 2022 @09:59PM (#30411478)
Yes, it can surely be obfuscated, but ultimately there will be a client-side function with near-identical functionality prevalent all over the web. It's harder, but seems possible to build an extension to identify this function.
Re:Google Tag Manager, the new anti-adblock weapon (2020) on Sunday February 20, 2022 @09:36PM (#30411367)
Wouldn't it be possible for a potential client-side blocker for this to intercept the gtag() method invoked on the client side ("Tag Manager web container"), even if that function is provided by a script hosted on the website owner's domain, as Google recommends[1]?

Re:1Password for SSH and Git (Beta) on Wednesday February 16, 2022 @10:33AM (#30361256)
I'd suggest taking another look at how 1Password (or any other secrets management tool) deals with secret data. "the ability to obtain them easily" is not the case.
Re:Why Peter Thiel Searches for Reality-Bending ‘Secrets’ on Saturday February 12, 2022 @11:44AM (#30314099)

A family of four just tragically perished trying step 1 (albeit on the northern border).

At best, this is a perilous, uncertain and undignified route.

Re:Facebook loses users for the first time on Thursday February 03, 2022 @11:43AM (#30194726)
Feels like Yahoo in the days it realized it was losing the search arms race to Google and Microsoft. There was this uneasy sense of the underlying seismic shift and that the game had changed and you didn't have the best hand.
