"With the 730,000-square-foot lease, Facebook has acquired more than 2.2 million square feet of office space in the city for thousands of employees in less than a year, all of it on Manhattan’s West Side between Pennsylvania Station and the Hudson River."

"The timing of the deal’s announcement was somewhat of a surprise because Facebook, which had expressed interest in the Farley Building for months, has given most of its employees the option of working from home during the pandemic. Even after the pandemic subsides, Facebook has said that within the next 10 years up to half of its roughly 52,200 employees across the country would work from home."

I think that sentence is good, it's just a matter of changing the 'to' to 'and'.

"Y Combinator represents the union of two ideas that had not previously been combined: the application of mass production techniques [and] startup funding."

Beautifully made and well-structured video. In just 120 seconds, they effectively:

I. Set the stage by showing a trend.

II. Describe two premises and derive a logical conclusion from them.

III. Show a product that not only is the objective answer to the conclusion above but also fits perfectly into the initial narrative.

The "click bait headlines" are part of their substance. And, in many instances, it is the substance -- as it's the only part of the article people do read.

Maybe something that could easily be interpreted as social mockery and making fun of people = crossing the line.

It's not a fair treatment for someone who has made an enormous contribution for startups and is already paying a big price for past mistakes. It can also harm/dilute the cause women are rightfully fighting for.

Where I come from, "Gambiarra" sometimes has a bad connotation -- in the sense that it was not well thought. So, maybe, a lazy hack?

Probably the origin of the expression :)

Ha, when I read the post title I knew it would come from a (Brazilian) Portuguese author.

The way I would explain "Gambiarra": it's a quick fix that relies heavily on an ad hoc solution instead of following the generally accepted principles for solving a problem.

Cool, thanks for sharing that.
