matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
Something called hard work?
matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
How dare those people build a business and create jobs! They must have no humanity.

Geez.

matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
The real workers? So the execs that literally run the company and give people the jobs are... what exactly?
matchbok··on The housing shortage is larger than you think
Please take 30 seconds and imagine a world with 0% apartment vacancy and get back to us.

lol.

matchbok··on Modern iOS Navigation Patterns
I agree. The discoverability of gestures is tough and something that nobody has really cracked yet.
matchbok··on Modern iOS Navigation Patterns
You can swipe left/right on the very bottom of the screen to switch "back" to apps. The back swipe gesture is for "in app" navigation and is much better than what Android has. The Android back button can do like a million things: dismiss keyboard, go back a page, switch apps, go home, etc. It's a mess.
matchbok··on Modern iOS Navigation Patterns
Back can mean multiple things? That's a good thing? Sheesh. The Android back button as been broken for years.
matchbok··on Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android
...They obviously would do it in a way that doesn't do that? Do you think this company can outsmart them in the long-run?

I give it a week, tops. The next iOS update at the latest.
matchbok··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
Literally no business works likes this. Every team and hire is a risk, and the market understands this. You don't have the information to say if there was "waste" and even if there was, so what?
matchbok··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
One alternative is never hiring them in the first place, which is a real possibility if some bad ideas like yours were put into law.
matchbok··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
Well, the US has the best companies and most innovative tech for a reason. Spotify is an outlier - Europe just doesn't compare.
matchbok··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
That's.... not how things work. (Maybe on DSA Twitter, but not in the real world lol)
matchbok··on Spotify will reduce total headcount by approximately 17%
Or Spotify could have not taken the risk a couple years ago and never hired them. Which is what would have happened in your scenario. (No dynamism)

Businesses take risks. Part of that includes hiring people for things that may not work out. It's really not that hard.

And "fuck-over"? Please. 5 months of salary with no work? Actual working class people would go nuts for that. Get a reality check bud.

matchbok··on Dark patterns in UX design and how to avoid them
Funny that this website has the ever-annoying scroll indicator. Why don't web designers understand we already have a scroll indicator? It's called the scroll bar. There is literally no function for these things.
matchbok··on Return to office is 'dead,' Stanford economist says
You only like it now because salaries haven't adjusted to the fact that the pool of candidates who can do you job goes up considerably if you are full-time remote. Long-term, wages will stagnate as opportunities in non-USA countries open up. There is no reason for your company to pay you a USA salary if you are full-time remote. And they won't, eventually.
matchbok··on Return to office is 'dead,' Stanford economist says
Nobody knows. What will catch up soon is any country in the USA time zones discovering they can do you job for 20% pay. People who think they will be able to work remotely while making top-city salary are delusional.
matchbok··on Return to office is 'dead,' Stanford economist says
Annnnnnyways the leaders at top companies, included Zoom, seem to disagree. I guess you are smarter than them. :)
matchbok··on Return to office is 'dead,' Stanford economist says
I love how it has to be some massive conspiracy, not the well-known fact that junior employees and productivity both take a hit with full-time remote work. A lot of these orgs are coasting and the impact won't be known for a while.
matchbok··on Venmo, Cash App users sue Apple over peer-to-peer payment fees
Good, crypto needs to die. What a waste of resources.
matchbok··on In California, you can now sell your ADU
Please do just a bit of thinking about vacancy. The idea that anyone would purposely let a unit they own sit empty for 10 years is ridiculous, and doesn't happen.

We need vacant units so people can move around. I guess in your perfect world there is 0% vacancy? Please, tell me, how would anyone move to a new city in that world?

yeah....

Also, rent control doesn't work. It never has. And never will.

matchbok··on There's Never Been a Worse Time to Buy Instead of Rent
That data is meaningless without context. Atlanta is also building way more homes than most areas.
matchbok··on There's Never Been a Worse Time to Buy Instead of Rent
Corporate ownership of homes has been a reality for 100 years. It's a drop in the bucket.
matchbok··on Product Hunt cleans house with layoffs impacting 60% of staff
And there's a reason your country probably has very few successful businesses.
matchbok··on Product Hunt cleans house with layoffs impacting 60% of staff
Does the employee have an obligation to the company to work forever?

No.

matchbok··on Small business owners say they're pressured to hire off-duty cops for security
Lol you are a troll account. No other way. Thanks for the laugh!
matchbok··on Small business owners say they're pressured to hire off-duty cops for security
Do you actually think most police aren't chasing thieves because they have to go bust some drug dealers in order to steal their cash?

Like, you really believe that? Please tell me you don't. This must be a joke.

SF basically told their police to stop going after small time thieves after 2020. The result has been mass mobs of stores and a huge increase in theft. They voted for these polices to raise the bar at which someone can be prosecuted, so police do nothing.

Jesus, do your research (and not on left wing Twitter lol)

matchbok··on Small business owners say they're pressured to hire off-duty cops for security
Are you a troll account? I can't imagine someone being so obtuse, this must be a joke. You continue to paint any pushback as some bad faith, exaggerated caricature in order to support your silly ideas. The fact of the matter is most people trust most police, that is evidenced in polls after polls, in every community.
matchbok··on Small business owners say they're pressured to hire off-duty cops for security
You must live a sheltered life to think this. Viewing an entire group of people as evil or inherently bad. People like you are the reason why progress in the area is so hard. You don't understand the reality of the job.
matchbok··on Small business owners say they're pressured to hire off-duty cops for security
Dude, nobody expects a random cop to spend a month trying to track down a $200 bicycle. That's not their job.

Your views are extremely myopic. Low-income neighborhoods around me are asking for MORE police because of how things have gotten. It's literally only suburban people who are insulated from crime that are saying dumb things like "defund the police"
