Sadly, the biggest employer motivation is some have very long leases and don’t want to look stupid to the board for having signed up for useless office space with a decade still on their lease. Others are motivated by ego, being able to walk down isles watching their minions tools away. However, never meeting people IRL definitely reduces collaboration and performance on highly iterative and collaborative projects compared to everyone going and meeting IRL. Meeting at least quarterly for 3-4 days can make things work, but time in an office is better. Again, if you work on a team. If you are and IC, quarterly if probably fine or entirely remote might be fine too.


I wish it would be permanent, all of these “marketing” and “advertising” companies just produce things that fill out inboxes with junk.


It's long been the case that esps emit the most junk, not marketing but actual spam: stolen credentials, many many vulnerabilities, trials etc

These days sendgrid is the highest followed by Google and mailgun, Microsoft used to be on top but they seem to have dealt with it a little (anecdotal logging for mail servers I manage)


Like most ESP postmark is used for transactional emails too (like password resets, confirmations e.t.c.).


In fact Postmark only supported transactional email (and had an approval process) in the past. It looks like they dropped that to pursue a larger market, with predictable consequences.


Nothing, this isn’t anything but a political theater solution.


Hopefully no one asked him anything. He is a narcissist attention whore.


If it is a physical document, you can draw a line through it before you sign it.

What is baffling is that there is no option to do this electronically. Although I have modified employment agreements and other things that were sent to me, or emailed my objections.


What if users would prefer their experience to be privacy centric not location centric? Checking location every ~3 minutes is excessive if it was purely for passive innocent purposes.



“This too shall pass”

-Abraham Lincoln


Isn't this quote from Rumi?



I think it may be one of those quotes that always has an earlier usage to find. According to https://thecritic.co.uk/this-too-shall-pass/, Lincoln was quoting Rumi, who was (probably apocryphally) quoting Solomon.


I love how they call it a budget surplus, it isn’t. It is as you say, residents were over taxed by $100B, which won’t be returned to them. Which is terrible government, not good-great government.


I wish there were “Good Guys” in government/politics/power/business. Unfortunately, if you find one, I can point out 10,000 that are not.
