Stop, you're making a comment that is not unequivocally anti-Facebook, therefore it is incorrect
"I agree with this, but I'd replace soft with relentlessly selfish. Instead of realizing the need to work together to make something better, they're in it for personal gain." Please do not use the phrases "simple…
Airbnb is a service. Bitcoin is a commodity in the same way online poker chips are a commodity
Bbbut... the blockchain?
“I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man may stand…
No but seriously, who else wants a VP of Social Good trophy
TBH it does make sense that the "VP of Social Good" isn't going anywhere
Slant article of a topic that has been slaughtered to death by people with more industry knowledge than the author
Mortgages are not a remotely valid analogy here unless, in the case of Robinhood, you try to compare it with margin accounts, which I think is actually a fair analogy but is not the case here. And even then, the bank…
Same thing after a few magical alchemists in labs started inventing things ~100 years ago, who would've thought?
Earnest Davis from NYU right? Next bit of news we’ll hear is “Yann Lencun starts fist fight with fellow professor”
It’s what the Buddhists were saying all along long! You’ll just need to accept that you don’t have any self. I think Nietzsche was whining this was gonna happen too. Or wait are you seriously suggesting it won’t happen?…
Do you have any proof that non technical managers are setting the hiring bar and writing the requirements for data science positions at most companies, which is what it seriously sounds like you’re implying. The guy…
The average CS student didn't do that great in LA/Calc. Most CS programs don't require vector calc. At an average uni, the vector calc class/linear algebra will be extremely forgiving and you really don't need to…
Big data's also like a big dick. Everyone's running around telling their clients they've got an 8 incher if they buy.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted, you're right (although the definition of 'genius' is always up for debate). This is just one of a million opinion articles on the same questions which happens to have a…
If we're going to use invalid analogies, there's also a big difference between "I declare murder to be legal in the home that I own!" and "I think murder should be legalized!"
There are no doubt hypocrisies and fallacies on both sides, employers included. I am certainly not arguing against that. That's a different debate, though. Employees want to get rich, employers want free work from…
I'm not misreading it at all. The two parent comments fall under the general umbrella of complaining about job listings requiring too much experience which is a standard point of contention against employers on HN.…
Personas and reputations are beneficial in any human pursuit. People who are respected and acknowledged more by others have an advantage. We now have the internet and social media and other ways to market one's self.…
Can you post where you work so that people reading this know not to apply to your company? Thanks
Exactly this. You have to be very naive and sheltered to not recognize this as being the case.
What are you even talking about? His opinion is not remotely controversial. Every populist hivemind drone on this site contends some form of this argument. Not a single person is (at least, getting upvoted) DEFENDING…
Yeah but can we disregard common sense and still call it a good ol boys club for the sake of the pitchforks? I think if we turn it slightly differently we can definitely slap a white male oppression on it
