Not a scheme but an alleviation of existing debt by government.
$ must come from somewhere. I’m not against it, just jealous considering how I scratched my way out of debt when I came out of college.

The bill for years of unbalanced budgets and qualitative easing will come due soon. It it will likely be in the form of cutting spending, rising taxes, or both.
One touched a lot of teams including my own. The second was mostly smoke and mirrors - they took multiple factories and supply chain employees and sold them or outsourced them to a company that picked up the payroll for those employees. Only a handful of roles were truly culled.
The announcement of the layoffs was theatre for Wall Street.
It truly varies by individual working style, job, culture, and more.
There is no one sized fits all IMHO. The right mix for me is 1-2 day in a small office with others where you bond with co-workers (in my case engineers) and hear about other things going on or brainstorm on ideas even though you might not be on the same team. Then 1-2 days with customer or alternate customer and in-office days on certain weeks depending on what’s going on both with customers and in-office.
The rest are work from home.
I think there is a middle way for everyone - even fully remote companies should have some semblance of balance based upon company and team culture (but most don’t)
The grand irony is that I read a lot about management who worry they aren’t getting enough out of remote workers…
And yet I have a real problem with work-life balance working from home that I have to be mindful in my own life about both that balance and boundaries.
Later we moved the app over to a windows CE device and developed an office management suite in the 4D programming language to compliment it.
2) Higher quality content
3) Higher quality posters
If I want to discuss my hobbies or other subjects I use Reddit (specifically old.Reddit.com).
If I want higher quality content and to read news about my profession I come here.
I’m a member of several programming subs and other places like stackoverflow are still generally better for asking programming questions and receiving higher quality answers.
There’s your answer. How does Facebook make most of its money? Information about people and ads.
As Facebook evolved they added games and marketplace and more - they want you to spend most of your time online on Facebook. His goal for the zuckerverse is no different.
His talking points about connecting people are just marketing speak. He wants to connect people so that they spend more time on his platforms and meta makes more money. It’s that simple.
The worst is when people take something from a snippet of the Python standard docs and make a 15+ minute video on something that could have been read in 2.
I don’t know what caused the band but my guess is it has something to do with sexual or other harassment of some type.
It used to be damn near impossible to get kicked out.
The only two times I saw them really care about anything was when they kicked out the female reporter.
The first year after it moved to the Riviera they got on staged and asked people to “kindly quit hacking the fire alarm system because as many of you are smoking here someone will die in a fire.”
The conference area was no smoking but plenty of people were smoking and drinking there as early as 7 or 8 in the morning.
Good times.
In the summer months, you’d open all the windows, open the trap door, and turn on the fan. Historical homes were also built with crank windows above the doors to also help increase circulation when the attic fan was on.
It’s also about what you’re used to. My grandparents keep their central AC on in the mid 80s - which to me is very uncomfortable but they are in their late 80s and this is what they’re used to.
This led to more responsibility and more pay but it took a lot of my own time. As I’m senior in my career now I sometimes wonder if it was worth it as a trade off for all of the certifications I earned.
Maybe it’s my companies hiring culture or maybe it’s more common in SaaS or software companies.
Around the time this was written I was being pushed into management by my company’s leadership. Like I do with most things I read voraciously about technical leadership positions - that’s how I found this blog post.
I was selected for a small, year-long leadership development program. I was told turning it down would be “career limiting.”
I went through it with an open mind and found it interesting and insightful but still wasn’t sure management was for me.
Sure enough not long after the leadership program ended, my direct manager took another role. Senior leadership made it very clear that I was expected to go for this role.
Even though I loved my team, I didn’t want it. In the middle of the round I did “just good enough.” To come in second place - that was by design.
Then I find out they wanted me back in again vs an external hire in another round with an even more senior engineering leadership panel. It was becoming painfully obvious they wanted me in this position.
So I did what was asked, put together a team plan, 30/60/90 - did a really good job on it. Then I went through the interview. In the interview they told me I killed it and it was my turn to ask questions- so I asked some very pointed questions about transitioning to management, mundane tasks, and more. They did not like my line of questioning.
I was told afterward that my line of questioning is what gave the role to the outside candidate - and here I am today in a better, more senior engineering role.
And when people get invested in a show, Netflix cancels the show in year 2 or 3 before costs increase to retain talent.
I’m sure tightening spending will help with EPS but wallstreet is obsessed with growth and for Netflix that means subscribers.
I work late because I’m in meetings - either with customers or internal for most of my day. On many of those meetings I’m the leader and SME. I have to work at night to write code, lab up architectures, test equipment, research, and more.
If I were in an office the problem would be virtually the same.
He has a wife and child now and in calling out the Kremlin he’d either be jailed by the Russian government or expelled by Russia and likely taken to the US for trial.
It was quite scary when they started using SCADA to IP and exposing control systems to the internet.
I’d like to know why the state comptroller is pulling this - they have recently elected a new mayor and city council.
