Its big companies - their priorities are different. Saving a couple million dollars isn't worth the tradeoff of not being industry standrd (AWS, Google, MS). They hire tech consulting companies who sell their product, large deployments.

Stock market success depends entirely on when in history you got in and got out. When it comes to US dominance over the next century - who knows. I do trust in Fed interventionism and willingness to print money - so that certainly favors stock market investment.
Personally I find stock market is too high a variance and I prefer not speculate with money I can't afford to lose.
Buffet himself said their biggest peak to trough was 50%. Fine if you're already rich and investing a fund. Not so great if it's kiddos college money.
Too much bad food and bad media would be a start. When you look at American culture, it would be shocking if we were not unhealthy and depressed.
But then, how do you do this without authoritarian measures.
I'm no fan, but this does pass the 'would probably do this too' test. As, I could see this being a recommendation from one's personal security team.
Not to mention a doxing that is my understanding violation of T's policy. But yes, you then have to ban Gatesjet, Puinjet and so forth.
The free speech argument is kinda stale for me at least, it's easy to virture signal 'in the interest of free speech', but obviously there will always be some speech that is not acceptable (ie.. doxing, illegal)
Considering there is already some legal questions being raised about the firings - and I'm not arguing in favor of the merits of those cases - there is some possible scenario where an internal leak may be justified.
Seems mostly immature and passive-aggressive to me.
Aside from the criticism of the company, if I'm a manager I'm probably saying we don't need immature, passive-aggressive people on the team.
Personal opinion, but I'd probably not complain publicly about being terminated, unless the company broke the law regarding my termination.
An AR headset you can wear while fixing a car has massive value. For writing code or project managing less so. People don’t really want to be more present in remote work meetings not to mention there’s no added business value. But enterprise is a huge market so you have to try to market to it.
Only an asshole cares how old somebody is. Reminder also, ageism isn't just a bummer, it's illegal.
Most people aren't going to take legal action, but imo if you're discriminated against you have somewhat of an obligation to do so.
Still, leaving the linux shell largely for 15 years and coming back to it, I can do basic things - without reading an instruction manual.
customElements.define('my-element', class MyElement extends HTMLElement { ... })
I understand and respect the problem react is trying to solve, I just don't see it as much different than the js world before async/await and fetch, etc.. callback hell - which I saw as much more prickly issues.
Companies have paid me to do it, for the last 25. So I do it all week, then do my personal projects on the weekends.
But I never wanted it as a "career". I never, ever, "aspired" to be a programmer. I just always was one. It's all just playing with computers, and coincidentally businesses need it, so I don't have to get a different day job.
I have to believe coud costs particuarly as AWS and Google further leverage their dominance will rise to the point where some large services choose this.
Crypto ain't money, it's an asset class. Asset classes rise and fall, But none of these "billion dollar firms" created yesterday by a 25 year old are going to be safe when the price plummets given the highly leveraged nature of it all.
His philosophy proven again correct in my view. I found Yellen's comments staggering - having to apologize for not seeing inflation coming - after the US increased money supply 40% from 2020-2022.
What other pretty basic economic realities are not being considered by our leaders?
Just getting corporations and billionaire individuals to pay some taxes would be a nice start.
I don't find it particulary nasty and know nothing about cb's culture.
If my bank goes under I’m protected by the FDIC. If Coinbase goes under they have the right to use my money to pay their creditors.
Yes, there are problems in our social, political, ecomonic systems. They need to be recognized and addressed. Democracy makes that process slow and difficult. But the pessimism to me is one of the biggest dangers.
This is rewarded with political support, viewers, clicks on the headline. Even this article “Is everything falling apart”. Alarmist clickbait.
So if you’re society consists of too many people who simply act on impulse, instead of thoughtful consideration, how do you deal with that?
I’d argue less vitriol would help, but you’re incentivized in the opposite direction. Both the person who feels helpless expressing your outrage in the comments, or the media outlet trying to get viewers and clicks.
- Everything is deductible, your computer, home work space, etc.. They have phased out most deductions for employees.
- Max your 401k if you can (~55k Solo 401k) - this will make up for SE tax AND reduce your AGI so you can be less likely to be income phased out of certain benefits.
- Move to a state income tax free state, if feasible. Saved me $10k/yr.
- Look into short-term health plans. They aren't ACA, but have very desirable terms. For instance, marketplace plan for me 8700 deductible, 16000 out of pocket max was $550. Short term plan $2500 deductible $2500 out of pocket max (just no ACA protections/benefits) was $330 and is ALSO tax deductible, so more like $240. Networks are similar for instance mine is United Healthcare national network.
Just the hype off this, and the excitement that will inevitably follow every tweak to the platform - tens of billions up in value.
