You're underselling the problem which is that they profit off your addiction. Time you could be spending creating art, exercising, or learning a useful skill is instead spent watching an endless stream of junk videos…
The average engineer at Boeing makes $120k/year. That's about $50k less than what a new grad with no experience will get from big tech. Boeing doesn't have a culture problem, they have an idiot problem. The idea that…
> errors and unsafe acts will not be punished if the error was unintentional. No sane organization would ever implement this. If someone repeatedly makes mistakes, they're going to get fired even if the mistakes are…
This is not a gotcha question. It's a smoke test: something that should be really easy to get right. This is like building a calculator that can't get 1+1 correct, and then complaining nobody would ever need a…
> Google doesn't want to offend or be racist This is where you're wrong. A non-trivial percentage of Google's workforce does want to be racist and does want to offend. And despite the fact that this group is a minority…
We didn't allow them to do anything. They're just not accountable to us. If you've been following Harvard's anti-Semitism drama over the last 4 months, it appears they're not really accountable to anybody. Neither US…
No, the page title is "How an African streaming service dethroned Netflix." And that was also the title posted here originally. Also, Showmax most definitely does not have more subscribers than Netflix. That is only…
That's a much better title than what was posted originally. You should apply for a job as an editor.
If the streaming service isn't even popular enough to refer to it by name, it has not dethroned Netflix.
The reason for the negative view of HN is because the community skews way farther left than the general public. Case in point: this story comes from a website dedicated to promoting socialism and not one single person…
I don't understand the secrecy about firing somehow. If I were an employer, I'd want my remaining employees to know that what the fired person did was unacceptable.
I bet you have a hell of a time trying to buy gas. Do you pick Diesel, 85, 87, or 91?
The only thing I like about it is that it makes it easy to know whether I should care about this person's opinion. Sure enough, the blog post was completely deranged -- to the point that the author even tried to present…
I'd guess the majority of pedestrians who are at fault for accidents are vagrants who can't or won't pay for any damage they cause. I don't see well-to-do businessmen jumping into the road all that often, but I do see…
I regularly pass people on the right and then cut them off getting back into the left lane just so that I don't have to be stuck behind someone I can't see around. The tinted front/rear windows really piss me off…
What does that have to do with anything? Using Google Ads is not a requirement of having your website be accessible through Google Chrome. It's not analogous to this situation at all.
The recent push to relax education standards in the US is only going to make problems like this worse. For example: https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2023/10/oregon-again-sa... I can see it already in my company.…
Google has a union. It costs thousands of dollars per year to join and primarily focuses on political issues like lobbying management not to pursue contracts with the US military. And even if they had a good union, I…
The onion made me watch an unskippable ad before I could watch the video, and then started another ad 30s into the video. Incredible. No wonder they're irrelevant now.
Nice. One step closer to finding the enzyme that gives urine its delicious flavor.
The fact that you think employers are legally required to give in to employee demands is truly bizarre. Even stranger is the fact that you seem to think such a law would be a good thing if it did exist.
How could it be illegal to refuse to bargain? If want to sell my piano for $1000, am I legally required to lower the price if someone tries to bargain with me?

My Facebook feed is almost entirely comic strips like Calvin and Hobbes. If they are AI-generated, the AI is doing a really good job. I doubt "Facebook is being overrun" is an accurate description of this situation.
No. What an ignorant question to ask. Any halfway decent lawyer would pursue all available avenues to defend their client. Challenging the Constitutionality of a law is not an admission that the client has violated said…
