This guy is 100% on the mark. Amazon is all about throwing the guy next to you under the bus to get ahead. They will chew you up and spit you out. NEVER work there!
Do NOT work for Amazon! If you had a different offer, I'd say consider it, but Amazon is VERY likely to leave you high and dry within 12 months. Never ever trust that company unless you are completely willing and able…
Ew. Ex-Amazon. Never trust "career insights" from _anyone_ at or from Amazon.
Yeah, Wikipedia is famously hostile to new contributors. It's a wonder they still continue existing and also have the gall the beg for donations. Imagine if reddit begged for donations? I don't even really think about…
Most people don't have a choice for what ISP they use. And even when they do it's usually "do what to live in the modern world or deliver your packets via the Pony Express?".
Whoops, lack of sleep, haha.
Lol! Yep, that's my bad. Too sleepy right now.
~~I wouldn't be so sure about "clearly". We're still very squarely in the "fancy auto-complete" stage of "AI", the name of which I still consider more branding than reality.~~ Edit: Ignore me, I'm sleepy and can't read,…
This is also true, but for what I was calling out, people do pay off mods to supress or promote certain content on the subs they moderate or mods push their own sites or products if they have something to push.
You have to realize that the majority of reddit "users" are either bots (especially now with LLMs making it so easy to generate text on the fly) or utterly braindead. Just last week I got banned and comment deleted from…
Meetup used to be that until they got greedy and started charging everyone. It collapsed very quickly after that. It's a ghost town now.
Thieves whining about thieves. They'll have to excuse me for having exactly zero sympathy.
If only we lived in a sane world/country...
Nope, they ARE all faked ads. I'm really not sure why anyone would think otherwise. The only exception being the CS gambling sites which turned out to be owned by the guys making videos/streams showcasing them "winning"…
You know what, that's a great idea! Surely nothing bad will ever come from increasing wealth disparity by letting wealthy people hoard all the money, right? If we let them hoard all the money, then surely some will…
This is basically the modus operandi of almost every company these days. Where do you think anyone is gonna go? I sure as shit can't name any companies that don't act like this.
(Not parent) It doesn't. It's just uninformed or bad faith commenting, astroturfing, and arm chair developers who've never written a line of code for a game in their lives. Always has been. (Or maybe Jason Hall is going…
For code only, even then only sometimes or even rarely. The HN comments section is like a gold mine of the Dunning Kruger effect for social awareness/intelligence. It's not even worth pointing out because you'll just…
Some dipshit with too much power and not enough brain cells nor incentive to care about making good choices. That's also an intentionally chosen pattern throughout the company. :)
Yeah, these days I use the little Ask button to just give a summary of videos more and more. Most videos could have been an email. I'll usually only let videos run when I need background noise, when there's sufficient…
I can't think of literally anything meaningfully different about the Chrome UI from any other browser...
Yeah, this exactly. Google goes out of their way to be as unfriendly to adblockers as possible in Chrome. I don't know why anyone is still even using Chrome or why you would want to support them (by value-adding to…
This. If we try to tackle everything at once it won't work, but make inroads where you can while the winds are at your back for a particular issue.
People were plenty productive before AI burst onto the scene. Wanting to not have AI shoved down your throat doesn't suddenly make someone "not productive". What an utterly assinine take. Thank you for being Exhibit A…
Wow there must be an echo in here because I swear I said just that... And then pointed out that it's the same crap being recycled back and forth across the company. There is no real separation.
