matchbok··on Dropbox announces 20% global workforce reduction
Most people understand that companies need to adjust in size. There’s nothing moral about it.
matchbok··on A camera in the East Village, capturing the now and the long ago
It rarely works. NYC has not built enough housing and this is one reason why. Rent control never, ever works.
matchbok··on U.S. Rules Apple Illegally Interrogated Staff and Confiscated Union Flyers
Nobody is harping, you are the one attacking others and virtue signaling.

"Simp". Dude, this isn't Twitter. Grow up or leave.

matchbok··on U.S. Rules Apple Illegally Interrogated Staff and Confiscated Union Flyers
Dude you are not convincing anyone with your childish comments. People like you don't last long here, so adios. (reported)
matchbok··on U.S. Rules Apple Illegally Interrogated Staff and Confiscated Union Flyers
Oh and one virtue singaling guy named flandish who needs to pass Econ 101 before commenting again.
matchbok··on Neighbors Are Retiring in Their 30s. Why Can't You?
Thanks poor financial planning!
matchbok··on Why US renters are taking corporate landlords to court
Trash comment by trash person. Grow up dude.
matchbok··on Why US renters are taking corporate landlords to court
Ok, this is a parody account. (Or someone with 0 knowledge of Econ 101) Time to move on.
matchbok··on The $499 Google Pixel 8a is official, with 120 Hz display, 7 years of updates
At some point Google needs to think about why these phones exist. Nobody buys them and there is no way their hardware division is turning a profit. After Stadia, I bet this is next.
matchbok··on Why US renters are taking corporate landlords to court
Those are all very bad ideas.
matchbok··on How to found a company in Germany: 14 "easy" steps and lots of pain
There is not less fraud in Germany. Time does not equal quality or validity. It just means time.
matchbok··on Mass timber is great, but it will not solve the housing shortage
Please take a moment and think if a system where we have 0% vacancy. How would anyone move?

Vacancy is not the issue.

matchbok··on US salaries are falling. Employers say compensation is just 'resetting'
If you want to work for a company where your salary is 100% tied to yearly profit, by my guest. But even a 2 second critical thinking exercise will demonstrate why that is a bad idea.
matchbok··on New Federal Rule Caps Credit Card Late Fees at $8
This isn't reducing the power of any company. The money and fees will be shifted around. This accomplishes nothing other than encouraging people to rack up more debt.
matchbok··on Social Housing for New York Is on the Table
> Free-market housing policies will never generate mass affordable housing

Citation needed. In many pro-growth cities, rents are falling or are stable.

NYC does not have "free-market" housing.

matchbok··on New Federal Rule Caps Credit Card Late Fees at $8
Then don't use a credit card. Simple.
matchbok··on Study: 61 UK firms tried a 4-day workweek and after a year, they still love it
Then why not 2 days?

There is a massive hole in your logic.

matchbok··on US spends billions on roads rather than public transport in 'climate time bomb'
Sorry, was speaking from a USA context. Yes, you are correct.
matchbok··on US spends billions on roads rather than public transport in 'climate time bomb'
Well, it's an issue of double standards.

Nobody expects highways to make money or break even. Suggesting that a road have tolls is the quickest way to lose. However, transit is put in another group, for some reason.

matchbok··on iMessage with PQ3 Cryptographic Protocol
It's not Apple's fault that the carriers/RCS/Google don't know how to make messaging work. RCS sucks, it pales in comparison to anything but SMS.
matchbok··on JetBrains Fleet
Wow, this looks promising. JetBrains discontinued AppCode, so an alternative for Xcode (trash application) is my dream.
matchbok··on [dead]
Spotlight is Cmd-Space, nobody uses the function key. Use your ... keyboard ... to select items.
matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
lol that you think that's how it works. How many companies have you created? How many jobs?

You hold a pretty naive view of how a business operates.

matchbok··on Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees
Things someone who has never built a company says.
matchbok··on Google lays off hundreds working on its voice-activated assistant
That's not how any business works. Googlers aren't entitled to a job at Google, believe it or not. Even if their feelings are hurt.

Please, please, take 1 minute and imagine a world where a company is punished by (someone?) for laying people off. Please think of the consequences of that. lol.

matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
Please read Business 101 sweet child.
matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
Great, if you can do the job, feel free to apply.
matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
Nah, just a basic understanding of how a business works. I suggest you read up!
matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
Econ 101, read it.
matchbok··on Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
Please go try to build a company, hire people, make payroll, and.... actually build something. Then get back to me.
