We've decided to wait till 10th grade to give our kid a smartphone. We might get a dumb phone sooner than that if they need to call us. It's easy to see kids getting addicted to any type of screen - TV, laptops, etc. Having a phone with them all the time seems like a terrible idea.

Mostly micromanaging CEOs that want people back in the office or CEOs that want to quietly lay off people.

No, I want her to realize that what she was trying is probably impossible.

This is not sarcasm. I do hope she spends the time studying what she should have studied before (hematology?, medical science, etc).

In 2+ years, I've done 331 interviews to hire in single digits.

As per my CEO, it's ok to do endless interviews to find that one good candidate. It doesn't make sense to me but hey it's not my money. One of our engineering managers was complaining that they had to do 80 interviews to hire one candidate. Colossal waste of time and money. No wonder these companies are still not profitable.

Had a Rumani mango tree at home while growing up. Small, extremely juice mangos. Ate hundreds every season. Nothing else comes close.

An exec at the company Unity competes with said the same thing.

Coordinated abuse by tech companies. Will last till the next boom.

Took me twenty years to get it and the only reason it happened in 20 was the increase in number of available green cards due to covid. $5M+ earnings, leading teams of 30+, generating hundreds of millions in income for companies.

I work at a tech company that purports to build the metaverse. Initially they allowed people to go remote. Now they are walking back on it and asking people that don't want to return to take a package. A quite sad story of someone who has a few months old baby at home. They moved to a different city since their manager approved it. Now they have to be back in the Bay Area 3 days a week (in the middle of the week) since their remote application got denied. Literally forcing a parent to be away from their baby (or be jobless).

How will people that incited a treasonous attack on the Capitol be remembered?

They are the only company that has not done layoffs. This is their way of doing layoffs without paying severance. Other companies are doing this as well including mine. I hope they all crash and burn when the job market recovers. Apple's AI talent will leave in droves to startups.

Could be a useful book for ChatGPT to read

Stock doubled because of the layoffs and $40B stock buyback.

The focus will shift from knowing the right answer to asking the right questions. It'll still require an understanding of core concepts.

This is just whitewashing history.

Non-sequitur. We are talking about Trump

Yes. It was not his racist statements or his incompetence. It was what Adam Schiff did. For pete's sake, FBI literally handed him the 2016 election.

Do you think we are all stupid?

My recent experience I rarely write bad reviews but this place deserves one. Here's a list of things that didn't go well for us. 1. Unit is advertised as having a pool but there's a disclaimer hidden somewhere that amenities are not accessible to guests. Had multiple emails back and forth to understand that it's closed only after labor day weekend. 2. Unit has a kitchen but we were told that it doesn't have pots and pans. Again, a lot of back and forth. We packed a lot of utensils since we have some food allergies and can't eat restaurant food. In the end it turned out to have all the essential kitchen utensils. Wasted a lot of our time and caused unnecessary stress. 3. Unit does not have an air conditioner and it clearly states that there's no air conditioner. What was not mentioned is that the unit traps a lot of heat and is essentially unlivable at night. Our first night there, we couldn't sleep till 4am due to the heat. The fans were useless. 4. That night we discovered that the upstairs toilet was broken. We had to go downstairs every time we needed to use the bathroom that night. I tried to fix it in the morning but it was futile. 5. In the morning, I went to use the gas stove and saw a note that a lighter was needed to use the stove. Sadly, there was no lighter to be found in the unit. When I called the host, they said they'd reimburse the lighter which wasn't very helpful. I had to make a 30+ minute trip back to town to get a lighter. I missed my meal schedule which wasn't great. Someone had left a lighter outside the door when I was gone but forgot to tell us or knock the door. 6. Someone came to take a look at the toilet and said it was broken and that they needed a maintenance person to fix it. No maintenance person came that day. They reached out to me once to ask about a good time to fix the toilet but I wasn't at the unit and the place does not have cellphone signal. Out of the blue, the maintenance person sends me a text "+1 ( (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) : Go ahead give me more tickets I’m on a roll fixing everything lol Sorry wrong person Me: No problem. Looks like the toilet isn't still fixed" 7. The place continued to be unlivable at night. We did not get any sleep on all 3 nights. Woke up sleepy and dehydrated all 3 mornings. 8. For all this inconvenience caused, the response from the host was pathetic.

Sorry that people suffering is getting tiresome for you.

Company's leadership and business model was talked up early last year - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30743371

Decent people

You are correct except that it's L1 visa driving wages down. H1Bs are typically employed at FAANG and are paid top of the market. Instead of a lottery system, they should use it for top of the market jobs or proven specialization like published papers in that field or certifications.

Went "unempathetic" mode. He didn't have to do what he did and in the way he did. You were cheering for him instilling fear in the remaining employees.

You had no empathy for the people getting laid off. The drama at Twitter was 'interesting' to you.

The CEO was cheering on when Musk laid off half the company. Not surprised.
