Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” - Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted. ( arstechnica.com )

Big tech companies are still trying to rally workers back into physical offices, and many workers are still not having it. Based on a recent report, computer-maker Dell has stumbled even more than most....

Atlassian have proven (along with a load of other companies and academic studies) that forcing people to work in an office is an anchor on productivity.

CEOs that are forcing their employees to come back into the office are willfully pissing away productivity.

That is arguably negligent from an investment perspective

Edit: fixed the link

And I'm highlighting that it's short-termist and self defeating

Companies like atlassian do what they can to make sure they don't lose their best talent, what I linked is documented proof of that working.

Dell are trying to reduce costs by reducing the reasons an employee would want to stay.

Do you think they're gonna lose the employees they would choose to?

No, they're going to lose their best.

It's pissing away productivity for no tangible benefit and doing so in a pretty permanent way—who is going to work for a company with that reputation?

It's not just them nailing themselves into a coffin, it's basically them pointing the nail gun at their face.

Am I being cynical or oblivious when I see that history and assume it's mostly bullshit?

And between the two we had Mozilla Suite (which is what SeaMonkey basically is today)

The issue is stupid intersections like this, roundabouts or bridges and slip lanes are the way to do this.

It’s a real shame what’s happened to vice over the past half a decade. Some great journalism has come from them over the years

Looks pretty cool, but YouTube’s video compression has crushed the life out of it. Would be nice to see the still image.

I saw “iron”, “aluminium” and “oxide” and I briefly assumed you were trolling until I looked again to check which one was the oxide.

Gonna go with the last one in the discussion part

TWTR earlier this month had a market cap of $41.09bn

Hmm you’re right, honestly I just googled and saw the same exact number with a decimal point shifted, so I put two and two together

As for whether that number is actually a valid valuation, I’ve not got the information to say

Worth considering the other A7 lines too, just because you mention night photography.

For example, I know the main differences between the A7r iii and the A7 iii are the obvious one, the A7r has double the pixel resolution, but less obviously, it also has a reduced maximum ISO compared to the A7. Given that’s 30,000 ISO vs 51,200 ISO (and up to 204,800 expanded ISO) at the levels we’re talking about might not matter for what you’re trying to shoot, but it’s worth considering.
