You have some very motivated people with deep pockets who do not like negative press. Say anything negative and the downvotes will roll in.

If everything was on the up and up they wouldn’t be hiding things behind shell companies and ndas. The water and electric usage is the least of our worries. These things will make cancer alley look like a Sunday picnic. There is a reason executives won’t live anywhere near the hot zone.

There is an inverse relationship between capital punishment and how advanced a country is. People who spread nonsense like this should be put to death.

You do not in fact see what they are saying. Downvoting me won’t change this.

So it has brought to my attention that mentioning his ethnicity is inappropriate and worthy of flagging.

Since the article does that it should be flagged and this discussion should not be taking place.

Flag the article then. They were the ones who mentioned he was jewish.

Apparently it is fine that the article mentioned he was jewish at the start but when I did it was beyond the pale.

I was hoping maybe someone would have some insight, maybe there is an intellectual tradition, maybe there are some special schools, maybe there are other reasons why jews in the 20th century seemed to have some strong intellectual achievement.

Or maybe I am just a jewish supremacist/antisemite. Hard to keep track which one I am supposed to be.

Antisemitic? The article specifically mentioned he was jewish at the start. I said jews seem to be pretty good intellectually. (Einstein came to mind).

How are you twisting that to be antisemitic?

Because that was literally mentioned in the opening paragraph. Jfc hn. Take it up with the article not me.

There is no competition, only the illusion of it. All these big companies and owners are already invested in each other. If you have the multiple billions needed to build your own chip fab you are already getting a slice of the current pie. Why undercut yourself?

It is important to remember governments aren’t living things with their own agency. The people at the top running the governments are usually all dead in 30 years tops. They have no long term incentives. Put them in charge of a dating app and they will run it to enrich themselves just like all the other ones.

selling the illusion of a chance is just as good

Do you have 100% trust in all devs you work with?

Most code just has to be good enough.

Yup when courts no longer work at some point we go back to settling disputes the old fashion way. Lawyers and courts were the compromise because the old way can get pretty ugly, but it looks like we are going to have to relearn that lesson.

Several technologies have made us far worse off.

Seems likely they will soon start engineering super viruses to target the undesirables.

With the massive layoffs there have been massive spikes of suicides and od deaths that will only get worse. Articles like this are simply trying to cover it up.

I did that with one of the faangs. Congrats you passed hiring committee! Oops no open roles!

2 months later recruiter from the same company hit me up. Told them I already passed the interview just give me the job already. Oops no roles, you just have to wait! So why are you reaching out? Couldn’t give me an answer.

You are being downvoted but hn is really bad about this. One company posted an advert for their “third engineer” for literally years.

A lot of them are also from hostile foreign powers trying to commit economic sabotage.

A free market requires perfect information. Ghost jobs are the opposite of that.

That is point, these are fake roles.

This is so out of touch

The data is pretty clear. The existence of outliers does not change this.

I had maybe 10 cigarettes lifetime. Haven’t had one in a decade.

Please don’t use pedantry.

Please make substantive comments. Going around message boards demanding proofs is not conducive to good discussion.

These “intuition” people are the biggest gatekeepers of all. Forget studying and working hard, unless you have intuition you don’t count.

I don’t understand this. You seem to look down on people who put in effort and instead celebrate those who have natural talent. Like the people the people are somehow cheating by studying. Seems backwards.

Unanimous too. Did not see that coming.
