Just don't. If you are paying them enough you won't need the mandatory fun to retain them.
Re:UST Stablecoin Loses Dollar Peg

Apparently it's literally just for staking. As a south american it would be very hard for me to invest any dollars in stocks or whatever compared to staking these stablecoins in my local exchange. A few taps and they will take my money. The traditional financial system literally won't take my money due to them thinking I'm a drug kingpin or something.

I hope you tell who you eventually hire it's a shitty salary because it sounds they would only take the job if they don't know what they're worth.
Re:Ask HN: Do you think remote work will hurt Americans?
on Thursday April 28, 2022 @05:36PM (#31198509)
Yes but it will take years, maybe decades. High cost of living makes everyone less competitive. I'm not seeing anyone strategically making life less hard on a hard cash sense so it is undeniable. Although if you rush to "outsource" everyone for the cheap talent abroad it would be a shitshow.

People can fo math. No one will take the pay cut it means to commute every day to an office if remote jobs are available. No one cares about the investors real estate depreciation.

This reads really pathetic to me. If that's really why she left and not simply that she found a higher value male or something that's just plain crazy and she's doing him a favor.

If you care so much, just leave. You can't change anything unless you're top management. You can salt and sabotage at most but if you don't pass your malice for incompetence you're out.

This is the only acceptable result to society and if they limit responsibility it eill only be due to industry lobbying and in benefit to no one else. This can't be an externality for everyone else, if it is too much of a burden sinply don't sell your murderous half baked self driving and we'll keep going on like before.

The analysis I've heard leading to the invasion is the interdependence is calculated since that's what brought peace to western Europe, they'd hope the same with Russia.
