If I could live in Omaha with a FB bay area salary I'd live like a king

Or maybe we can take a more nuanced stance and say that some people just prefer to work from an office with their colleagues.

If there was no way to hang up the phone you wouldn't dismiss them as easily. I think this is likely a feature of ease of dismissal rather than one of remote vs local connections

I didn't suggest it was the only reason people may prefer offices- just one potential reason. I'm making no claim about OP or any other specific person on this thread.

When referring to free speech, it is common to refer to the moral backbone of freedom of speech (strong entity shouldn't be able to silence the masses) instead of just the legal/constitutional definition.

"The return will be gradual, starting at about 10% building capacity, he said. The company aims to ramp up to 30% capacity by September." Very very soft reopening-- initially thought that sounded a bit ambitious. The $1,000 for wfh equipment in the meantime is a great trend that I hope other companies implement.

I'm sure it varies based on place of employment and personal preference. I understand many people have some level of social anxiety that may be exacerbated by the open floor plan. I just personally enjoy it and hope to not see its demise. Glad we get to pick our employer!

Comments like these continually make me happy that my place of work does no such monitoring and trusts employees to be productive.

Probably more QoL improvements than drastic change. Getting the tech out of the way to optimize actually using it.

I guess I'm in the minority. Whenever this discussion pops up everyone laments the horrors of the open office, but I have no difficulty focusing in that environment and find it more lively and attractive when compared to alternatives. I don't need a black box to focus, and the feeling of being social (even when I'm not) really helps my morale.

Your personal portfolio/blog site is really well done, but this feels unfinished. A cool idea, but should polish up the site before trying to get some participation (e.g. why is there a search bar? And why is the top bar so large and the same color as the background?)

I love how useless this is. Hacking for the sake of hacking. Really cool!

If you're already established I'd say it's probably not worth it. Learn the things you want to learn through MOOC's. The real value in a degree is in getting the first job (not including connections you might get through higher-end universities)- if you've already reached that point it likely isn't worth the investment.

Did they try to add a hotkey to C or something? Can't imagine what's going on there.

I'd be very surprised if the vector of the largest cyberattack in history is someone's unsecured home WiFi. Not to mention the vast majority of people in densely populated areas secure their WiFi.

Noted, thanks.

I think it's pretty clear that until there is a same-price 90+% accurate meat analogue this is unlikely. Perhaps best for the world, but we are selfish actors as a whole.

An old update, but more important now than ever to note that there are options to retain useful services post-acquisition and not fully sacrifice privacy.

Looks like it was shut down pretty quickly. As the responder notes:

"We have always used a proxy for our requests to GIPHY, and will continue to do so. There should be no harm in continuing to use it."

Slightly misleading title as one would assume this is an announcement of removing support for GIPHY, not a closed pseudo-bug report.

Our worker protections are comparatively too strong to decouple and not see a stark rise in prices across industries.

Gif trends are likely infinitely mineable for consumer trends. This makes sense for Facebook- the goliath grows another inch.

I'm all for more data-driven policy. However, I think it's tough for models like this to accurately gauge how people respond to actual policy changes.

Also, there's been a push for "clearer" tax policy with numbers people can remember and subconsciously feel good about. In my experience those optics would be difficult to replicate with a black box like this.

"While Chromebox for meetings will operate with bandwidth speeds as low as 300 kbps, video and audio quality might be poor." (1)

This is directly from Google, so it's likely your internet speed test is incorrect. If I had to guess, it's a DNS issue but could be anything.

Thank you!

Source on that? Or just a quip about a lack of perceived "toughness"?

Edit: Wow looks like it's true, TIL!

QoL has grown with GDP though, even for the below-middle-class. Hard to find even a low-income household without a microwave and a fridge today.

Pixel seems to be their generic in-house hardware monicker these days

Or if those are initially organically selected and then pushed further by the algorithm. Likely a combination of real preference + manufactured

Looks like all the animations were keyframed manually, pretty sweet!

Wow the diagrams are really well done here. Really well-made and presented.
