Why is it not legal? I think it is higher than the national minimal wage.

Yeah,it doesn't make sense that they offer salaries this low for onsite CA. My wife could consider working for this salary from Ohio though.
Isn't it logical though?
But ultimately, isn't it the complacency of poor people, their disinterest in politics, in standing for each other, in learning and pushing for change is what allowed the existence and conduct of the rich?
Re:Ten Signs of Fascism. America has all of them on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @08:36AM (#48192495)
There is no "fascism" in 21st century because there are no fascist movements or parties. The term "fascism" doesn't mean much, it is just a word used by certains movements back in the past to self describe. Therefore if a party or movement doesn't self describe as fascist then it isn't. Every attempt to define it becomes way too broad and could be easily applied to almost every country in the world.

The term is recently became heavily recycled by left wing activists to label everything they disagree with (and sometimes even used by more radical lefties aka tankies to label less radical ones).

I just use free version of ChatGPT in lieu of Google and corporate sponsored Claude for producing scaffolding/template code for my projects and work.
What unnecessary wars did the US start so far? And what would you say is necessary to do when there is an extremely theocratic country with a goal of "wiping out" another country is getting close to create a nuclear weapon?

Their sales says otherwise though. They are down almost everywhere.

> If your product can so easily be duplicated, and for cheaper, it's probably not a great product.

Or maybe it is just a good simple product made in an environment with regulations and high living standards.

Re:Americans Are the Ones Paying for Tariffs, Study Finds on Monday January 19, 2026 @10:34PM (#46687636)
Is HN really a place to criticize administration?

As for tariffs, SmarterEveryDay has proven that we need them with his smart grill scrubber that got destroyed by cheap Chinese copycats the moment it became popular.

I'm working on a smart air quality monitor, I don't want competition with the Chinese either.

I don't think I am ever buying another HP product. I've had enough with their office PCs and printers
Re:'Ghost jobs' are on the rise – and so are calls to ban them on Thursday December 18, 2025 @09:23AM (#46313023)
Start accepting CVs over snail mail. Much more difficult to automate, there is a cost already embedded in the process (72¢ for a stamp) and any attempts to automate this will be obvious.
But isn't it insurers actually set how much a service is going to cost you and then make "a discount" on that figure?
Then how our taxes are lower on average than most other developed countries?
Re:Why aren't there any "YouTube competitors?" on Saturday November 29, 2025 @10:49AM (#46088432)
Peertube? It is such a great piece of software and I use it locally to host family videos and things I want to save from youtube.

I feel like it lacks traction due to how convenient and popular youtube is...but at the same time with more and more ad and the war on ad blockers things can change.

Hello! Can't find DevOps engineer or AI/ML positions on the link you provided, perhaps I should apply to that software engineer role which sounds quite DevOpsey?
Re:Hitlerism, Trumpism, Netanyahuism, Le M, Macronism on Monday October 20, 2025 @12:10PM (#45645550)
Political propaganda on HN?

Comparing contemporary politicians or policies directly to Hitler/Nazism is an emotionally powerful move, but the article uses it inconsistently and without clear criteria. At times the author admits differences (no expansionism, different social base), then asserts equivalence (e.g., linking Trump/Netanyahu to Hitler). Without explicit criteria for what counts as “Nazism” (ideology, methods, goals, scale), these comparisons become rhetorical hyperbole rather than an analytical tool.

It is being reposted / available since February. Perhaps you could find someone already if you actually did interviews instead of rejecting within minutes?

Ghost jobs, nonsense in the job description etc
Burning fossil fuels is relatively simple and well understood by general public. Modern business strategies to squeeze every cent out of a customer that involves subscriptions, planned obsolescence, adding bizarre complexity for marginal gains are not helping. Buying a very expensive black box with questionable reliability, possible dependency on a manufacturer provided internet services (APIs for updating etc), questionable availability of parts and probably not really fixable by yourself or your local shop with rednecks with wrenches is not very appealing when you are living paycheck to paycheck.
Well, it seems like a lot of people moving there
Have you looked at Avocado mattresses? They state they make them in California.
Re:Why the $25,000 car is going extinct on Monday June 30, 2025 @12:38AM (#44419441)
But why do you need a car in Singapore? I can't take my kid to school or buy groceries without a car here, it is a basic necessity and I hate it. But you have amazing transit and high density.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2025) on Wednesday June 04, 2025 @11:49AM (#44182077)
Can't find anyone since February? If it is a real position I wish we could talk at least instead of just point blank auto rejection of my application.

You are complaining a lot about LLM-generated fraud, underqualified people, overqualified people, yet continue to repost this position despite admitting there is a huge pool of real candidates (like me) already. You are just mining data and wasting everyone's time.

I'm not going to email you, you already have my CV and my phone number. If you are interested you can call me.

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2025) on Monday February 03, 2025 @03:15PM (#42922393)
I disagree with this and will continue to complain.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2025) on Monday February 03, 2025 @02:08PM (#42921612)
You are never getting back. Each time it is just an excuse email that you had a lot of candidates etc, but then you are not reaching out and repost this again.

That's my experience too. Absolutely no response from jobs where I am seemingly a perfect candidate.
