had a 3-year industry-adjusted revenue growth rate of 21%. Companies requiring
in-office work had only 5% growth. Excluding tech, fully flexible companies
outperformed by 13%.

Cory Doctorow<p>"I’ll never get what these men see in Silicon Valley’s
boy-kings. I don’t mean that rhetorically. There’s clearly an itch the tech
oligarchs scratch for those who brush up against them, but looking at the exact
same person, my brain clocks ‘predator’ at a thousand paces, and theirs seem to
switch into a purring, excited mode that’s wholly unavailable to me."</p><p>-

Alice McFlurry :bc:<p>The lady at the DMV asked me to take off my glasses for my
photo and I was certain I was finally going to have my She's All That moment
where she'd be like "OMG you are so beautiful!" but she didn't say ANYTHING and
that's one of many reasons why people don't like government employees.</p>

myrmepropagandist<p>Retailers are getting more bold about where they place ads!
I was going to buy something online from Lands End and went to pay, selected my
card ready to send them money and do you know what they did? They put up a pop
up ad! You can’t complete the transaction until you hear a pitch from “hello
fresh” and “do you want to apply for an apple card?” etc. (I have pretty robust
adblockers at home, is this how people live now?) Of course, I canceled the
purchase.</p>

choice, you are aware of history, and what the world was like 200 years ago, but
when you "land" there, your memory of history is erased. </p><p>Would you live
