wankerrific | 8 months ago | on: Some arguments against a land value tax (2024)
Wealth tax on holdings over a billion. Let capital “flight”.

Yep. He’s a member
wankerrific | 1 year ago | on: Waymo driverless vehicle re-routes into oncoming traffic
Had a driverless way make an abrupt left turn in front of me (going opposite direction) on Bayshore a few weeks ago. If it signaled it did so at the last minute. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid broadsiding. They aren’t safe.

I mean, we could be spending effort on making human driving safer, but where is the monopoly in that?

People over 50 invented Netflix, dude. Try harder.

They’re all “libertarian” until their favorite bank goes belly up and needs a bail out.
wankerrific | 2 years ago | on: The internet didn’t kill counterculture, it's just not on Instagram (2021)
Yes. The movement funded by billionaires and mass marketed by social media influencing is “counterculture”.

Why not do both? Get another job AND get back some income rightly owed you by a previous employer.
wankerrific | 2 years ago | on: Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer
What’s up with Apple touting this headset for remote work while they were one of the first to force people back to office.
And now Facebook/meta too.
Marketing hypocrisy.

A dry suit in Santa Cruz? LOL!

Socialism for the rich.
Rugged capitalism for the poor.
wankerrific | 3 years ago | on: 30% of YC companies exposed through SVB can’t make payroll in the next 30 days
Socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else.
wankerrific | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office?
How about just reconfiguring bullpen office back to semi private cubicles or tiny phone room offices? Make the office a place to come to for a better work environment.
Let’s be honest- these bullpen setups suck and very few people want to “return” to that.

These companies are famous for price dumping as well. This ban is a good thing
wankerrific | 3 years ago | on: Meta Is Preparing to Notify Employees of Large-Scale Layoffs This Week
No one got a $1.5m loan @ 2.5%. More like 3.25%
wankerrific | 3 years ago | on: Elon Musk Tesla email: Remote work is no longer acceptable
100% this is a disguised layoff - “encouraged attrition” if you will. Cheaper than a layoff

I agree about the major first dotcom bringing people who didn’t care for the values and culture of the city but disagree about the roughness. The mission and the part of soma near the old trans bay terminal were pretty rough. People got mugged in broad daylight kinda rough
wankerrific | 4 years ago | on: Intuit asked Mailchimp employees to pay medical costs out of pocket
Sure. Just like “competition” in broadband has driven prices down across America.
wankerrific | 4 years ago | on: The singularity is close?
You’re 19? You should be more worried about how to survive the oncoming ecological holocaust instead of the singularity. One is much likelier than the other. I believe even an ML algo would come to the same conclusion

It’s going to be much more difficult to get employees for early stage startups from here on out.
