A few weeks ago the evidence pointed to Hamas rocket misfire. This week it's different evidence.
I don't know what radio silence you mean. The previous incident had contentious conclusions and contradictory reporting. So there was lots of argument since there was obviously a political agenda to hide the facts to argue a political point of view. That's not going on in this case because the facts aren't contentious.
How was there ever an end where a 100 dollar a month cable package is cheaper than all TV programmers having to make their own apps and direct to consumer distribution channels. It's all the same TV with more operational overhead than having cable be the single pipe to distribute all content. The difference was steaming used to augment cable revenue. Now it is replacing cable revenue and that revenue goal hasn't changed.
Yes, this is the context missing from the article. There's the requirement of one party from the 3 party joint venture (fox, comcast, disney) to buy out the other parties if one acquired a majority steak. There was also a lot of politics because Comcast and Disney both got into a bidding war with each other to acquire Fox as well as Sky. So in some sense, although Comcast lost the bid for Fox, they forced Disney to make over inflated bids for Fox and were then on the hook to buy Comcast out for all of Hulu. So there's a lot of bad blood recently, but it it also goes back to Comcast's attempt at a hostile takeover of Disney back in the early 2000s that is probably like HBO's Succession type stuff.
It's a 24/7 subway. It is under funded. It's gotten worse with distressed folks. But it's pretty good relative to a lot of other US metros. And commutes always take time. So you can't fault a method of commuting for that.
Look at shit like the green line in Boston or all these other half assed light rail solutions that share space with car traffic and get held up for auto congestion and traffic lights. NYC subway doesn't have that.
So because they have high salaries they need to work in an office? I'm not seeing how that's related.
Your comment is not related. This is an irrelevant take away. This comment is a thread from:
"I can only imagine the hellish commute a NYT tech worker must endure. Let them work from wherever the fuck they want."
No one is talking about salary. It's about the realty that subway (not to mention citi bike and the occasional uber) are easy ways to get around and not "hellish."
Good for you in minimizing cost and maximizing income. The point is the income is sufficient for NYC living, and a lot of people live very satisfactory lives in NYC with that salary. And part of the reason why you stay in NYC is because you enjoy what the cities offers, which can mean you like spending money on life style and going out.
I have several friends that both rent in NYC and own homes in the Hudson Valley/Upstate. I have friends that max out their 401ks, pay rent, and still go out fairly often. I don't understand this false claim that tech workers can't afford the city, hate their lives here, and prefer to live out in the suburbs. That makes no sense. Plenty of tech workers make enough, and love the city, and continue to live here. The challenge is getting people sacrifice leaving their comfortable apartments and neighborhoods in brooklyn and queens to come the shit hole that is mid-town/times square.
It is clear this general news sub has no frame of reference for NYC. A quick glassdoor check says a software engineer makes 100-160k base, with 25-50k bonus. And that is not including Sr Engineer or Architect titles. A one bedroom or two or 3 bedroom with a dual income in tech makes it affordable to live in the city.
I don't know why I said Jersey City while thinking of my friends in Montclaire, but I'll stand by my original comment. Stop trying to get me to visit your apartment on a weekend train schedule, bro.
Edit: not sure why downvoted. I guess all these young families in Park Slope or 20 somethings living in the East Village or Williamsburg are lying when they say they are working in tech and appear to have pretty manageable and comfortable lives.
I feel guilty. Without a commute I haven't read this ever growing stack of New Yorkers and The Atlantic. I'm joking, but serious. Car commute is terrible. When you commute on half decent public transit, you can do shit and was kind of a part of my day to day rhythm. On good days it was almost meditative.
But seriously, who the fuck are these trolls suggesting real tech workers don't live in NYC. Yeah, the dream is actually living in Jersey City said no one that has money in NYC
I wonder how Ukraine factored into the calculus. Normally yeah, you should expect this. But maybe there was doubt of funding and supporting both Ukraine and Israel concurrently.
I'm all about right to repair. But why is it so hard to find places to dispose of e waste clearly labeled do not throw away in trash? We can't even trash correctly.
Read the article. It sounds like they want to be off the hook for providing necessary infrastructure and services to Gaza and other occupied territories.
Those are two different factual things.
