Off topic: Anyone knows how to get rid of wall of news on bing homepage? I tried disabling it but it still loads it and makes it visible if I scroll down.
What is this new trend of announcing things as if it's available for general use and then hiding it behind invites or not making it available at all.
I wonder what will happen to actual content then. Currently YouTube is showing info about most watched section of the clips. It saves so much time! Now imagine that happening to everything above.
The professor recommends across the board pay cuts as an alternative to layoffs.
> One thing that Lincoln Electric, which is a famous manufacturer of arc welding equipment, did well is instead of laying off 10% of their workforce, they had everybody take a 10% wage cut except for senior management, which took a larger cut. So instead of giving 100% of the pain to 10% of the people, they give 100% of the people 10% of the pain.
Curious if there is research here on how this impacts the company? Seems like it would also increase stress and encourage top performers to seek new opportunities.
He also recommends hiring during a recession:
> He actually hired during the 2000 recession and saw it as an opportunity to gain ground on the competition and gain market share when everybody was cutting jobs and stopped innovating.
I suppose this works when it works, and then fails completely when it doesn’t. In essence, this increases the risk profile on the company which seems problematic too. Would be curious if there are studies that show the outcomes of these strategies.
Perhaps there are no “good” strategies- just those that favor employees or those that favor investors.
Paul mentions that we work best when we work in a group of 8-20 people in a flat structure like our hunter gatherer ancestors use to do. Each member have their own roles and responsibilities and each individual contributes the well being and future security of the group. Such a group is optimal communication wise and it also offers greater incentive for it's members to work harder as you are directly participating in your own growth unlike our current structure where people are helping other people get rich.
This is very extreme take but imagine if companies are capped at 20-50 employees. Will it work? I think it might. What do you guys think?

Edit: rewording.
That figure really is eye watering like Sam said. Any chance we might be able to reduce that cost? It must be the power costs right? The hardware is one time cost I assume. Why not power it over renewables?
You may not have but that community is actually very active. I posted 5-6 photos on pixelfed and it had more engagement than my total Instagram engagement over 5-6 years.
Consider this, you want to book your table at restaurant so you tell your AI which will inform restaurant's AI to book a table for you. In this whole scenario where is UI? I mean this whole chat with AI thing kinda makes lot of UIs redundant. I don't need UI for reminders, notes, meetings, search results and whole lot of other things. The advancements of AI will eat most of GUI but dashboards will remain I guess. What do you guys think?
Let's get as many users as possible and once they are hooked let's update ToS is the general approach it seems.
Actually I'm more interested in its ability to transform things. For example I can ask it to convert docker-compose to docker run command, it can manipulate JSON, it can sort numbers in table when prompted. I'm more interested in these abilities rather than just getting answers for which I already have Google
I'm pretty sure that those who built new protocol were aware of this and were like "anyway we are gonna have to upgrade network devices. Why don't we build a new protocol while avoiding pitfalls of older one"
Any comittee that sat down to solve IPv4 issue would have thought of compatibility first.
I am shocked that so many people agree with OP's armchair solution here.
People really don't care. They might chuckle for a moment if you really goofed up but they forget very fast. It's us who amplify what others might be thinking. Someone said it rightly:
We suffer more in imagination than in reality.
