Cost of Living in Oslo vs Seattle

Reply in thread

A city is not going to be able to solve healthcare. Most taxes are paid to federal so the amount going to the city is limited to things like a sales tax, property tax, gas tax, etc. there just isn’t enough money to move the needle on healthcare for just one city. I think a state could potentially do it but I don’t think a city could.

Google decimates Twitter search results after Elon Musk imposes limits on reading tweets

Doesn’t sound like retaliation to me, it sounds like their scheduled web crawlers are finding that content they used to index is now no longer viewable and this removed from search results. Pretty standard. My guess is that there were 400 million URLs listed and as the crawler uncovers that they are no longer available, that number will keep dropping to reflect only content publicly viewable. If only 500 URLs are now publicly viewable (without logins) then that’s what they will index. Google isn’t a search engine for private companies (unless you pay for the service) they are a public search engine so they make an effort to ensure that only public information is indexed. Some folk game the system (like the old expertsexchange.com) but sooner or later google drops the hammer.

Men r so nonchalant

I work in tech. No one cares about my updates to the client SDK. It would make for boring dinner conversation and it’s not like there is office gossip…I work from home. Do you want to hear about my chat about updates to the corporate PPT deck to illustrate the new logical flow of connectivity? Because marketing was on that call and they didn’t care either.

‘Who dreams this crap up?’: Kevin O'Leary slams new rule that allows employees to ignore their bosses after hours

If your service needs to operate 24/7, then it needs to be staffed 24/7. If it doesn’t need to operate 24/7, then staff will resolve the issue during normal work hours. Most businesses have IT teams stagger their start time so that someone comes in early and can deal with issues that may have risen the night before and prior to other employees arriving.
