People do stuff for money - they don't always enjoy it. This is a story as old as time. It reminds me of the Bob Dylan song "Hurricane":

> Rubin could take a man out with just one punch

> But he never did like to talk about it all that much

> "It's my work" he'd say, "and I do it for pay

> And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way"

The trouble with throw away accounts is that there is technology to link the accounts by comparing your writing style to other accounts. Hacker news had a good demonstration of that awhile back.

Agreed. Pollen's advice basically translates to the "Mediterranean diet", which has also held up well.

revering tech CEOs still seems better than the alternative. Outside of HN, most people revere celebs and athletes

300 MW is still pretty big, isn't it? Why don't they build nuclear reactors that can be made on a factory assembly line, shipped on the back of truck, and installed right where it's needed in a town?

I assume the reactors in a nuclear sub are sort of like what I'm talking about.

What's wrong with 1Password? I've seen several famous cyber security pros recommend 1password (like Troy Hunt).

There are quiet heat pumps available:

It looks like about 6 months of net income. That's pretty big but not huge.

oh really? wow, bad chatGPT! I didn't know that.

Yes, just ask it to summarize the article and provide it with the link. I just did, here is the output:

------------------

"The article explores the job market for tech workers who have been laid off from their previous jobs due to the pandemic. Despite the high demand for tech talent, many of these workers have struggled to find new employment, and the article highlights several factors that may be contributing to this.

One of the main challenges is the way in which hiring managers are evaluating candidates. Many companies are now using AI-powered tools to screen resumes, which can lead to qualified candidates being overlooked. In addition, there may be biases in the hiring process that are preventing certain candidates from being considered.

Another issue is that many of the jobs that have been created in the tech industry during the pandemic are concentrated in certain geographic areas, such as the Bay Area and Seattle. This can make it difficult for workers who live in other parts of the country to find new employment.

The article also notes that many of the workers who have been laid off come from industries that have been hit particularly hard by the pandemic, such as hospitality and tourism. These workers may not have the same level of experience or technical skills as those who have been working in the tech industry for years, which can make it harder for them to find new roles.

Overall, the article suggests that while the demand for tech talent remains high, the job market is still challenging for many workers who have been laid off due to the pandemic. Companies and hiring managers may need to rethink their approach to hiring in order to ensure that qualified candidates are not being overlooked, and more support may be needed for workers who are transitioning to new careers in the tech industry."

How do you measure output of a software developer? Any measurement I've seen ([1] except the devops ones) just get gamed and become useless.

Is there a list of the 30% that ARE effective? I notice GivingWhatWeCan has the "Climate change fund" as a top rated fund

I agree. I've been a manager for almost a decade now and I've swung to both extremes on meetings. Some recurring team meetings are a good thing. Personally, one of my favorite recurring meetings is the retrospective meeting after a sprint. Yes, we could just toss all of that feedback onto an online retro board, but the interaction in the retro meeting is where the real gold is.

to be satiated on a vegan diet, you have to eat more... but I would argue that you "get to eat more". Eating is fun - more is better :)

Your account was created 5 minutes ago yet you talk like you know all about HN

Mods, is this thread hijacked? the quality of comments in here is exceptionally poor for HN.

Except the "freedom convoy" people were committing real crimes. Blocking an international bridge is very illegal.

That's interesting that this was rolled out a few weeks ago, however the article also says:

> Apple won’t admit why this change is being made in China, but the peer-to-peer nature of AirDrop has made it popular for spreading anti-government protest material, and hopping into your settings every 10 minutes to re-enable the ability to receive AirDrop from strangers makes it a lot less useful for that.

Is that a defect that can be solved through more science? tweaking the light and nutrients?

Why do we have mink farms at all? Can we just ban mink farming?

> Waco, Texas

What? If this draconian policy is happening in Texas, the land of the free, can I assume it's even worse in the rest of North America? I hope Texans are up-in-arms about this government overreach.

Dumb question, it always seems like people say Rust is the gold standard for memory safety. Why is Rust better at memory safety than C#, Go, Java, Ruby or Swift?

Google still has indexed her site. Is that odd? If I search for Jihad rehab, it's the top hit on bing and duckduckgo... but its nowhere to be found on google.

Me too.

That does seem to be a current trend. It actually might swing back though. It also depends on what industry you're in. If you can "move fast and break things", you may not need/want QAs. But in Healthcare and finance (for example), you probably want QAs.

It also has to be a topic that advertisers would pay to target you with. You can't talk about something super obscure that advertisers don't care about - like steam engines.

I assume your plumber isn't getting 8 hours per day though. A lot of time in wasted in commuting and paperwork (I assume).

Indeed, in my experience after a few years of work experience, your undergrad means very little (at most companies). I've heard this might not be true at Google.
