This won’t end well if they take this approach. Better to just charge for returns or raise prices.

Title doesn’t matter. Taking a step back in seniority will actually improve your chances of getting promoted because you’re starting from an earlier position.
If you like the tangibles, and you think the company culture and coworkers are good, take the deal (after some negotiation of course)
I imagine that for a while it was conclusively proven that heavier objects do not fall faster than lighter ones but it was still commonly believed. Maybe it is still widely believed today.
There’s a lot of unfounded speculation about why AirBnB made its recent decisions. The truth is far simpler (or dumber, depending on your point of view)
There were no A/B tests that caused them to take this product direction.
There is no quantitative model of any kind that points to this as the revenue maximizing approach.
They are trying to differentiate themselves from hotels as much as possible to create long term brand equity.
This is the opposite of what many posters are suggesting. It may or may not succeed but it’s not driven by short term thinking as many are claiming here.
Ask HN: What are examples of common beliefs conclusively invalidated by data?

I think when people rail against cancel culture they’re actually railing against victimhood culture.
It’s clearer to me if framed that way, what’s being complained about.
Everyone angling to be framed as the victim or deprived unjustly.
I didn’t say you can pay for enterprise pricing because okta is expensive monetarily. I said it’s because oktas UX is terrible and only enterprise companies would force that on their employees.
This website is… plain wrong? The first company listed is Airtable, which offers google SSO on their free tier.
This is a straw man argument. Blog posts like this leave a bad taste in my mouth because of how transparently misleading they are.
Almost every SaaS business I’ve run into allows you to SSO with providers like Google, Office365, Slack, and other common sources of identity.
If your company is paying for SAML through Okta, you can afford enterprise pricing.
The way I know is Okta’s UX is horrible and only enterprise scale companies would inflict that upon their employees.
Most CEOs and investors I’ve met are intellectually quite dull, uncorrelated with their professional success.
This shouldn’t be surprising. They didn’t get rewarded by the market for being interesting, unlike, say, the interviewer.
MA continues to talk his book when it comes to crypto/web3 which is fine but that’s like a goldbug talking up gold. It’s boring.
No. Ryan is not saying anyone is overpaid. He's saying that many business models are impossible.
The market is saying that those business models shouldn't exist.
This is true no matter what the number is. Slave labor enabled the American South to deploy business models that are impossible today. Doesn't mean it was good.
No he knew better. He’s doing it to get shine as a “whistleblower”
This is a venture backed enterprise software company.
Cancelling was never so straightforward as being fired. It was social ostracism and the soft understanding that no promotions were going to come their way, because the whole HR team was against it and their managers were never going to spend the social capital to fight that fight.
Their offense was objecting to a specific point being made in “implicit bias training”.
I was high enough in the org chart that I was privy to these conversations.
I lived it. It sucked. Only the dumb ones got cancelled. The smart ones kept their heads down or got new jobs. The team was defined by mediocrity. Mediocrity in hiring, in execution, in quality. But oh were they ever so woke.
Who cares. Honestly. Maybe it burnishes just image. Maybe he dominates the market and makes a mountain of money. Let’s make that trade 1000 times.
It’s not true enough
My guess is fewer but there would be more murders
I’ve worked in the technology departments of major American investment banks you’ve heard of. I’ve seen Indian colleagues openly discuss caste and speculate someone’s caste based on their name and regional background openly in the company cafe
Author misses the point entirely. Almost nothing in the real world is engineered to prospect against motivated malicious actors.
Even security devices like locks and fences are trivially defeated with the right know how and tools.
What’s a facet in this context
