thisarticle··on Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office?
All of those sound like problems the employer has, not anything the employee is doing wrong.
thisarticle··on Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office?
> There are reasons people work together in offices and not from their homes, there are economies of scale, and there are efficiencies that happen.

Such as?

thisarticle··on Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office?
Right? Funny how C-level employees never think they’ll get outsourced. Ten or twenty years from now there will be great CTO level talent founding companies in Latam if they aren’t already. Then the whole company can operate in a cheaper country with lower taxes and benefits. Good luck competing with that in the US.

> Never made a connection that proved valuable later on. Never received any mentorship or even any guidance

That sounds awful, none of your senior or principal engineers offered/provided any mentorship?

thisarticle··on Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office?
Sorry but this sounds really bad (and frankly, a bit entitled). Not everyone can afford to live 15 minutes walk to work w/ Bay Area, Seattle, etc housing prices. Not everyone wants to spend 30 minutes or more each way in a car just to get to an office that has a demonstrably worse setup than what they have at home. I have a healthy separation between work and home, it’s called closing the laptop lid and walking away.
thisarticle··on Big Tech is using layoffs to crush worker power
Yes, temporary workers who are no longer needed must leave the country. Because their positions are temporary. It’s in the name.
thisarticle··on Electrify America “fries” EVs at charging stations
You’re complaining about a car that has both ice and EV components. Of course it’s going to be a pain in the ass to work on.

Ever have a fuel pump or starter go out?
thisarticle··on NYSE Tuesday opening mayhem traced to a staffer who left a backup system running
The days of management taking responsibility for anything are over. See: not a single CEO stepping down for over hiring.
thisarticle··on Amazon to Lay Off over 17,000 Workers, More Than First Planned
Japan also has a stagnant or declining labor pool size.
thisarticle··on An M1 for Curl
The logistics I imagine of doing so for projects would be immense. For ten projects, maybe it wouldn’t be bad, but which ten? Etc.
thisarticle··on MessageBird lays off 31% of staff
What, is there a permanent record or something?
thisarticle··on Americans remain resistant to the lure of EVs, which are still unaffordable
That’s coming to all cars, even old ones. (A new car now in 20 years will be a beater).
thisarticle··on Americans remain resistant to the lure of EVs, which are still unaffordable
What a pointless article. Any car that needs a $10k battery is going to be more expensive than an ICE vehicle. You’ll save money most of the time over the life of the vehicle in the form of lower fuel and maintenance costs. Once again Americans get stuck on the upfront cost, not the total cost of ownership.

At this point I have to wonder what the motivation of articles like these are and how much money is behind them.

NFTs are cool now?

How do you propose we fund the internet without advertising dollars?
thisarticle··on Bankman-Fried and FTX Execs Received $4.1B in Personal Loans from Alameda
Right.
thisarticle··on Bankman-Fried and FTX Execs Received $4.1B in Personal Loans from Alameda
Got Sequoia’s name on their site though didn’t it?
thisarticle··on Bankman-Fried and FTX Execs Received $4.1B in Personal Loans from Alameda
You think Sequoia wasn’t made whole (or more)? They likely received tokens and immediately cashed them out (tokens which cost FTX nothing to produce).
thisarticle··on Ask HN: Where does everyone go after mass layoffs?
Maybe ask SBF that question.
thisarticle··on $477M FTX ‘hack’ was a Bahamian government asset seizure
Do people still hold anything this guy says as having any truth to it?
thisarticle··on Tell HN: Employers are not desperate to hire developers
> I'll share some things with you, the market is totally unpredictable right now. Even with some projected wins, we don't know what a new/mixed US Administration will mean.

How does what the US admin look like impact your business? Do you provide services to the government?

thisarticle··on Meta’s layoffs could be devastating to immigrants on work visas
And? They’re here to work. If there’s no work for them, they should go home. It’s in the name “work visa”. I hope many of them find other work to do.
thisarticle··on Chances of finding Covid-virus ancestor ‘almost nil’, say virologists
Great, so the whole civilization is now at greater risk of something worse than COVID escaping a lab because of… the same group of people that let it escape from a lab.

Edit: haha downvoted immediately. Not suspicious at all.

thisarticle··on Meta lays off 11,000 people
I’ll take that as not a lot.

I’m curious what you’ve done.

Why would we continue to renew H-1B visas if citizens need those jobs?

Since when does the World Wrestling Federation care about wildlife?
thisarticle··on In Another Blow to Meta, Apple Demands 30% Cut From Promoted Social Posts
That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed to make a profit on services and software. That’s the direction the auto industry is moving as well.

All of that money is long spent. FRED has data on it. Inflation continues unbaked.
