If it was that simple, why don't they use that strategy with young workers as well? Because the young workers are already cheaper. Hard to out-cheap them. (Obviously not their fault.)
Is this going to be a political thread? If so I really don't like Trump, but having said that: Fauci says in person voting with masks and distancing is safe:…
I've been watching Sir David Attenborough since I was a kid, and I am now middle aged. And I've known about species extinction since I was a little kid. They've happened and keep happening. Little to nothing seems to…
Or alternatively, we deliberately infect it without athmosperic bacteria: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090318094642.h... Which would be terrible... but true to our history when discovering new world.
Zeppelins and jetpacks!
It never occurred to me that a division of a company could just... secede from the parent company. Typical in very corrupt countries. I grew up in one. People who lead big/important corporations are always part of the…
Wasn't there a sweet spot somewhere in the Venus atmosphere that's more Earth sauna like, than the hellish surface of Venus?
I wish we would subside biochar in agriculture the same way we did ethanol. Or include it in carbon trading. Or both. And fertilise the open ocean deserts with iron while we're at it. I kinda feel like it's try anything…
Agism is illegal already, and yet we still deal with it. As a young developer I watched great old developers, fantastic at their job and with super deep experience let go first. My advice is make sure you save a lot.…
A more interesting question is how far will we go. Based on human history, I am fairly sure the end of humanity is approaching. 100 to 150 years I'd guess. I don't mean we'll be gone, just that what we'll become will…
As an outsider to the industry, I have always wondered what the situation is like in smaller companies or for starting your own business to serve local clients. Small companies, typically startups, are diverse. Some…
Also, people which were set to that group or people which self-identify as that group? Why not both. Self-identified groups and groups curated by someone else. And on popularity, I just think of votes as one filter. For…
Wikipedia trust peaked years ago, it's been steadily down-trending since.
You not being a reliable source about yourself is an old Wikipedia rule. I think they are fans of the Brazil movie.
innovation in Europe can only scale if we achieve a higher degree of unity in Europe, including one common language, one common jurisdiction and law framework. Localization is just too expensive in Europe and hinders…
Sadly I can't recall the name of the book I read as a kid, but it was all about dangerous animals. The kind of stuff pre-teen boys are super into. Well, I was hoping for adventure stories, but the book ended up being a…
I am shocked this first version of an online encyclopedia has lasted so long. Typically first versions of software reproduce real world limitations, which don't apply to the software. Second and third iterations tend to…
I am based in the North East, also over 40, and my experience both of you are correct. Agism is absolutely real, but opportunities still exist.
With over 20 years experience in the industry, and some products I have worked on visible in SuperBowl advertisements, I can honestly say during interviews I can count to potato. Most recently during a live coding…
The same headline would be equally true from the moment we left Africa and entered other continents, to today.
My question is how do you solve/amend this? Don't have just one most important/critical thing your life, like your professional life for example. Very serious advice, go outside and exercise. Find a friendly real life…
Like it or not English is the global lingua franca. The top global talent is unlikely interested in being educated or researching in other languages. And national university in my opinion should educate in their…
If my memory is correct, I discovered PG's essays from Slashdot, and through them reddit, and through reddit hn. And this reminds me of how some people theorize that life on Earth came from another planet. In one way it…
