Reply to comment by ethereal3xp in CEOs are quietly backtracking on remote work—and more companies could follow by ethereal3xp
I have a coworker required to go into the office. He is the only person on our team of 8 that has to. He was hired before COVID, so was never labelled "full remote". He also is the only one close enough to be hit with the RTO policy
He has to do remote work all day (our systems are all SaaS or in a data center elsewhere). All his meetings are on Teams, with everyone else being remote or in another office
It was never about productivity. It's just layoffs by another name

> Benioff said that he “knows empirically” that new hires perform better “if they’re in the office, meeting people, being onboarded, being trained”
And of course no one required him to provide this empirical evidence that he totally has, but just doesn't share because reasons

Going to go ahead and guess it fails the glovebox test. If you have to push multiple buttons to open the glovebox, it's poor design

US workers also work very long hours. OECD data shows the average worker works 10-20% more hours in a year than the average Japanese worker

Reply to comment by Mikelightman in Job listing platform Indeed lays off 2,200 employees by marketrent
Honest question, why?
If I'm getting laid off, I'd rather an email. It allows me to collect my thoughts and respond in a way that is optimal for me. It also let's me avoid showing any emotion that could cause problems for me
To clarify: If I got laid off today, I'd be pretty happy about it. If my boss was having a difficult conversation laying me off and I'm obviously happy about it, it might sour any future working relationship. It's not my boss necessarily making the decision, and there are many former bosses who have moved to other companies that I'd be happy working with again

Reply to comment by wankerbot in The average TikTok user in the US is an adult 'well past college age,' CEO says by djJAMZ
Mean and average are synonymous. He was precise and correct in his terminology. It is only you that does not understand the meaning of a mathematical average
Edit: And to drive it home a bit more, the advantage of using the term mean is that it is more specific. Mean is less likely to be misunderstood for another meaning than average, but both convey the precise meaning he intended
I wouldn't normally add that level of pedantry, but wanted to point out you misused precise when you meant specific. Solely because you're attempting to be overly pedantic

Average is a neat little math trick to use here. Median is a much more meaningful number to use
Imagine 5 people use TikTok with ages of: 10, 15, 15, 15, and 65
The average age for that group is 24. You can technically claim the average age of those users is an adult, out of college. The median, however, is only 15. 15 is a much more accurate descriptor of that group than 24. It's obvious why TikTok is choosing average here. It's very easy for a small segment of older users to drag the average way up

Infosec is still pretty hot in terms of hiring. Companies only spend the money they have to on security, so they haven't really been able to cut it at all unless they're accepting higher risk (which some are, but the skill gap is still huge)
What role is he going for the he can't get interviews? My LinkedIn inbox is still consistently full, and I have had no problem getting interviews when I poke around to test the waters
For anyone with experience, most technical security roles are plentiful

The vast majority of those employees are warehouse and delivery roles
It's useless to lump them in with the corporate and tech roles, which is where all the layoffs are

The fact the majority of the area is zoned to only allow single family housing is the problem. It artificially constrains supply, thus increasing price

Bigger problem is the overall lack of housing due to rampant overzealous zoning laws. Let people build dense housing, the cost will fall when supply increases

Reply to comment by yond001 in Big tech companies are selling their Silicon Valley campuses amid struggle by McFatty7
Zoning laws would block most anything you wanted to do with them. The bay area has some of the most restrictive zoming in the world. That's why despite the lack of housing and insane rent proces, the vast majority of land is still dedicated to single-family homes. They loterally are not allowed to do anything else with it
The bay will be forced to redo their zoning eventually. It's already stunted the growth the area could have had to become a large diversified metro area

It sounds like the goal is to get rid of and/or discredit independent research
No one will pay it, so research will die down. Some woll use scrapers, but then he can just claim they're inaccurate because they aren't "official" results from the API

You were fact checked externally. By me. The result was:
False
All the sources I looked at cited the storage capacity of the human brain in the petabyte range, with all sources putting it at >10TB, which is many times the storage capacity of a 2010 computer for $1000
2.5 petabytes: https://www.medanta.org/patient-education-blog/what-is-the-memory-capacity-of-a-human-brain/
10-100 TB: https://aiimpacts.org/information-storage-in-the-brain/
>1 petabyte: https://www.salk.edu/news-release/memory-capacity-of-brain-is-10-times-more-than-previously-thought/
The inaccuracy aside, it's a ridiculous claim anyway. There is no good way to compare the two, and the fact the range of estimates varies by >200x should say a lot about it
