I have personally seen this happen (ex-Amazon managers coming in and turning the place toxic) at 2 separate companies now

It's basically impossible to prevent people from using VPNs without some serious governmental control over every telco - which of course may be the case in the UK, but I don't think a site operator can be held liable for that in any sane way.

The crucial word in the headline is "recorded". I doubt that record-keeping in the 1800s was as comprehensive as it is today.

Additionally, from the article:

> the CDC started monitoring TB in the US in the 1950s.

And HN famously took this approach from Reddit, who do the same thing.

Most of these features were available in Scala and Clojure 5-10 years ago - even though OpenJDK claims that they took these features from ML, I'm glad they are catching up to others in the JVM ecosystem.

Not just time cost, but also monetary cost. At least in tech, most jobs exist in a small set of metro areas where housing prices are incredibly high. Pushing for more remote work enables more flexibility in where people live / can ease some of the housing pressure on these congested metros.

I'm a Pulley customer for our startup - it's great, relatively straightforward and no hassle. Also much cheaper than Carta with less overhead

Thanks to an increasing supply of jobs in India, salaries have been rising at the top end of the market. In another 5-10 years, it won't be much cheaper to hire in India as compared to the US.

It's likely that they just chose Kotlin as "better Java" - many companies do this and I can understand why.

And this is precisely why the law is so toothless in WA. It was intended to kill non-competes for low-wage workers (McDonald's workers, etc), not for tech workers. That's still a good thing overall, but techies don't really see the benefits of it.

Most of the more modern Javascript SSR frameworks support hybrid in some capacity (Remix, Next, Svelte). I can't speak for Angular as I've never used it.

I think the license change is a pretty bad reason to feel smug - unless you are building a competitor to or platform on top of Terraform. Spacelift is stuck in a weird place because of this, but most users won't be.

Usually the investors - the funding amount means that the founders and early employees can get paid a living wage at least (as a former VC-backed founder I can say that they probably don't get paid exorbitantly). But investors will get rinsed if the company can't either reach IPO or raise a subsequent round at a higher valuation. This becomes very difficult when the company is already worth $200M on paper, and need to get the revenue to a point where that valuation is justified.

The rumored valuation was around $200M, and the product is pre-revenue right now. So that seems pretty ridiculous.
