(Not me) Official video from David McBride’s Official Youtube channel. If you don’t know who he is - I don’t blame you, with how little coverage this story has gotten

Which companies pay for WFH expenses? I worked for the biggest software company in the world in 2022 and there was no WFH allowance. We were 100% WFH at that point.
I genuinely read the headline and thought “Good on them for standing up for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza”, and then I realised the truth.
I have young kids and recently learned what Roblox actually is. My kids will never be allowed to spend a cent on that. I am happy to buy them suitable games.
There are a lot of things which can be done to start fixing it, but we won’t even do those. Get rid of the capital gains discount and make investment losses only able to be counted against profit from that investment (not other income).

Your problem is that you’re relying on their algorithms, which are imperfect, and haven’t given them much training data.
Personally I never use the radio function. I listen to artists I like, I listen to and create playlists I like, and I sometimes listen to recommended songs and add them to my lists if I like them.

The last week or two I’ve been purely listening to my “liked” list because there are multiple thousand songs in it.
