“Me too, let’s make out and adopt a pit bull”

On the phones making the calls. The FBI is Trumplandia.

Damn he has aged horribly, like one of those “not even once” ads.

Oddly, although I can use chopsticks to eat, I can not visualize what my grip is from these pictures. It’s delegated entirely to my hand at this point and I don’t think about it any more.

All these fuckers are our neighbors and for many of us former employers.

Andreesen is the tip of the iceberg.

I found that keeping up with people over video works better when you’re in the same time zone. When I was managing teams at +8 hours and -12.5 relative hours, communication and trust just weakened steadily over time and creative collaboration stalled. Spending a week there in person usually got things unstuck.

I know people on split engineering teams between LA and Seattle who prefer all virtual and it’s worked long term. LA to NY I think would be a heavier lift.

And, of course, this whole discussion is always dominated by software engineers; there are lots of jobs that involve actual manipulation of matter where in person collaboration is essential to communicate skills.

the executives locked themselves into expensive long term leases for their offices and don’t want to feel embarrassed that it’s a wasted cost.

This is exactly what happened at Alphabet.

Trump is going to make death threats against her and she’ll furrow her brow and go tut-tut.

Classics has been a bastion of white conservatism my entire life. I think the number of people in that field who disagree with DeSantis on much of anything is quite small.
