Re:OpenAI announces leadership transition on Saturday November 18, 2023 @10:18AM (#38320502)
Hahah I like that this forum tries to be unbiased, regardless of who runs/ran it. This would not be a great community if it was an echo chamber. All of this news is extremely fresh though, so I personally am reserving my opinion until more information comes out.

I do like reading some of the the conspiracy theories, some are wild.

Uh yeah, he has an account here, as he was president of ycombinator from 2011 to 2019

Ask HN: What does your company do for employee birthdays?

Posted by sit_i_piz on Saturday April 01, 2023 @08:56AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Any celebration of you: birthdays, anniversary, etc. Our company is kinda lame, granted we're all remote. We have a monthly company meeting and the end of it contains shoutouts for people's birthday's or work anniversaries that month. If there's a milestone year with the company, they get a bigger shoutout in the yearly company meeting.Wondering what your company does to recognize you,...

Ask HN: What do you use to record virtual meetings?

Posted by sit_i_piz on Monday October 10, 2022 @08:21PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Our company uses Google Meet for meetings (internal and external). Recording the meetings saves them in our Drive, but it takes a while to upload. The resolution is maxed at 720p, and transcribing to text isn't native.There's a lot of third parties out there to help with recording calls in Google Meet, wondering if anyone has any that they recommend.Base features we're looking...

Re:Bill Proposal: US Electronic Currency (Ecash Act) [pdf] on Monday March 28, 2022 @10:54PM (#30838213)
The likelihood of this passing is low (to me), but I'm curious of Hacker New's input on how (or if) the US would ever get to a digital currency to replace the dollar.

Ask HN: New remote-first employees, do you show anger/disappointment more often?

Posted by sit_i_piz on Tuesday January 18, 2022 @07:16PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm not sure if this is a cause of more people moving to remote-first and difficulty showing emotions over slack/messaging as the main communication, or just people stressed out over covid in general. Since we went remote-first company-wide, emotions spike way more easily on the negative when something goes wrong.I haven't experienced this myself since I've been at the company fairly long and...

Re:Satellites Spot Oceans Aglow with Trillions of Organisms on Monday August 30, 2021 @01:20PM (#28358223)
Was in Vieques recently, absolutely amazing! If possible, try to plan to go when it isn't a full moon, or the sky is cloudy. Harder to see the illumination when the moon is shining bright. And you're correct they don't allow you to swim in it any longer, but they say its because it's harmful to the microorganisms, didn't mention the shark nursery.

It works on other Google product that has the "Submit Feedback" link on it. I just tested this out with Google Webmasters and it's an issue there as well.
Re:Google outage – resolved on Monday December 14, 2020 @10:30AM (#25418629)
If all 6 million G Suite customers, with an average number of users at 25 per G Suite account, paying the $20/user fee, requested the three day credit for this breach in the SLA contract for the outage, it'd cost Google about 300 million dollars.

Which is .22% of there COH this quarter...
