I've heard far worse stories from finance, legal, and consulting than tech. And I know many more tech workers than the other industries.

I read an old article on how Steve Jobs got a Google recruiter fired for contacting an employee. What a piece of shit.

Edit: found the link

Wow, what a shitty non apology. A longer version of "I'm sorry you felt offended."

“That was never my intent,” he wrote. “Collectively, you mean the world to me, and I deeply apologize if I have let you down. I especially want to apologize to anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of an unwanted hug or any other gesture they felt crossed the line in any way, shape, or form.”

A cute story about whales.

Jeremy Lin, the NBA player, talked about getting his teammates to play Clash Royale with him. He was shocked that everyone had better troops than him after two days. Apparently they all dropped thousands.

I think we lack empathy. How would we men feel if the situation was switched?

At work we discussed a customer who wouldn't shake hands with women because of his religion. A coworker said that's not sexist and the company should accommodate the customer. I asked him how he'd feel if a customer's religion bars handshakes with white dudes. He looked down and had no response.

I don't understand why people hug their co workers. That sounds weird. But some of the things on the list are ridiculous.

I'm socially awkward and I still don't have problems having a closed door conversation with a member of the opposite sex. Are you just going to pass on interviewing women because that puts the two of you in a room?

What do you mean "believe?" At Uber, HR covered up bad behavior. At my last company the HR rep quit due to discrimination.

That sounds more like a fancy quote than an actual tradeoff.

Can you change the title to something other than a yes/no question? The subtitle is more informative.

"In Silicon Valley, a growing number of early Facebook employees regret the world they created."

I've been trying to buy a Herman Miller desk for the past few months. It's a quagmire and I'm still table-less. You'd think a two thousand dollar table would come with some customer service.

I don't. It matches anecdotes at best. That's why I want to verify it.

I was thinking of making my own sites to spread fake left and fake right news and tracking clicks.

Some people are down voting him for name calling. Both republicans and democrats suffer from a persecution complex on HN. It's kind of funny.

All sites are agenda driven. But somehow sites with agendas that I disagree with are more guilty of bias. Funny how that works. Fake news, on the other hand, is claiming global warming is hoax invented by the Chinese. I would say only 10% of my facebook friends are conservative and I've only seen them post blatant lies like photoshops of black NFL players cheering the burning of a US flag. The liberals, at worst, get a little too excited about the Russian investigation. Though that has as much merit as Hilary's emails.

A fake news site owner said conservatives are more likely than liberals to believe and spread fake news. In fact, he said fake news didn't take off with liberals at all. I want to verify this. How easy would it be too replicate this experiment?

Edit: Found some links. Couldn't find the original article though.

0. Republicans seem more susceptible to fake news than Democrats (but liberals, don’t feel too comfy yet)

1. Article that says both left and right visits his fake news site.

Isn't violating embargo different? I thought most reviewers agree to that explicitly.

Wasn't there an internal Apple document about the importance of free promotions its products receive in movies and shows?

Found a quick link from google.

Aren't all video game review sites like this? All AAA games get inflated scores to not offend the studios.

Right? He's like a caricature from the Mad Men era. No wonder so many of the MRA or whatever they are called love him.

No, that would be at least be a somewhat defensible claim. Peterson literally says some men have crazy high motivation and women don't. It's not from this video.

I saw it when one of my co workers started sending my Peterson vids. God, I wish I never heard of this guy.

Okay, I made the mistake of watching the linked video. At one point he claims the old boys' club doesn't exist at law firms. I mean...where did the term come from?

Oh god I didn't know he was that crazy.

Don't forget Peterson's claim that only men have high enough motivation to be successful in competitive industries. His view is problematic because some VCs grill female founders not on their products but on their motivation level and how they will take care of their kids. Most power couples I know hire nannies. It's common enough where people shouldn't ask.

Anyway, I concede people can be good in one way or another while also being a total shitstain. See Spacey, etc. But Peterson has always been too angry for me. He's like Colbert with no satire.

Please edit title. Per HN rules it should be The Types of Leaders Who Create Radical Change.

For the record, I didn't submit this because I agree with him.

This is my favorite parody video.

Do you trust a random commenter on HN on the Internet than a few of your own friends? This is something I wonder about. I weigh the opinion of random reddit posts than people I know in real life. How did I get that way?

One thing to keep in mind it the number of employees.

Netflix - 3.5k Facebook - 17k Google - 60k

I would say the bottom quintile Americans is doing orders of magnitude better than the bottom quintile of Chinese. Maybe even bottom half. This is probably true when comparing any developed nation to a developing nation.

True, the President is vindictive. I wonder if we can use this. Send in someone who pretends to be anti renewable energy and then piss off Trump so Trump will praise solar power.

I want to write a blog posts of words that's become meaningless. Trolling, political correctness, diversity, unicorn, etc.

I think emotional labor is real but the cited article is, to put it politely, lacking.
