Similarly, I have yet to see anything that indicates hybrid or in-person work makes knowledge workers more productive.

i think it's an interesting question. to me, i actually don't mind being available for a bigger portion of the day because it has come with a lowered total amount of time doing work. i generally enjoy my job so i am a fan of the blend -- I'll wake up, do an hour of work, go to the gym, come back and do another few hours, go run an errand and make lunch, some more work, then maybe meet up with friends and finish up some stuff before bed. i find this to be a win win, I'm available for my coworkers across maybe 12 hours instead of a strict 8 but in total i work less than when I was going into the office

Average CEO tenure is less than 7 years, not sure how you'd practically be able to accomplish any kind of compensation plan on a longer time horizon. What is the person supposed to do in the meantime, life off of savings?

It's really crazy how just a few months ago Facebook's long-term prospects were worth just 1/3 of what they are now! What do you think changed so much during that time to warrant the 3x increase?

private companies can also have institutional shareholders.

> Mostly the profits went to capital owners

probably not the best example, today this is much worse vs. during the early days of the Industrial Revolution

Do you also find it reprehensible if people eat meat? Much worse things than just kicking of animals happens in the delivery of that food to us.

Feel free to find this information on Wikipedia.

>a very fat country (the fattest ever to exist)

Not quite -- https://obesity.procon.org/global-obesity-levels/. Kuwait seems to be the only 'big' place that's ahead of the US, but your characterization is inaccurate -- there are many middle-eastern countries right around the US's percentage.

Are YC-associated companies known for disregarding privacy and security? Haven't heard much about breaches / violations from their toplist https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies/valuation

keep in mind that if you're a bigger customer, aws discounts are huge (often >50% off of sticker). if the payback were 16 months instead of 8, it becomes a much tougher sell (esp with GPUs improving rapidly over time)

$35k prize pool is a bit of a joke

Right, which they didn't cancel, they sold and assured that your domains didn't just disappear.

> catcalled her using wheelchair-related phrases

This happens to people without disabilities quite often too

> one guy on the train pointed at her and told her to kill herself

a homeless person? I don't think these anecdotes are really representative of anything specific to the disability, this has become commonplace in large cities.

No, that's now how most will people interpret that statement.

You can also do this in the US with Zelle. Of course there's app alternatives like Venmo or PayPal too -- I don't really understand the importance / benefit of 'just using a bank account.'

what evidence concretely?

Always so funny to see these videos where the debaters have such hugely audible inhales and an obscene cadence of argument https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAXpCLs7I4Q

> customers prefer the convenience of shopping online

Things have actually been flat for ~3 years now https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ECOMPCTSA

Pebble didn't need to use Kickstarter for their second watch and did so anyway

You think people care more about that than their salary?

Why do most FAANG-type businesses require use of Chrome then?

In other words, there is no "climate catastrophe" happening right now.

the bar for public creativity may be relatively low, but in my experience as a candidate, interviewer, and hiring manager, it really does not actually make a difference. i'm generally too busy to be looking into this kind of stuff. hell, i rarely read your whole resume.

let's talk and see if there's something. outside of that it's just wasting time.

i mean, he tried pretty hard not to pay that amount

who was familiar with it before Musk took charge?

who's expecting a long lifetime from a $400 laptop that's used daily by kids?

how is the M1 at all relevant? it's not even 3 years old and the cheapest configuration upon release was over $1k. you're comparing it to these Chromebooks that were $400 7 years ago! of course the Chromebooks, even at point of release, weren't very future proof.
