I've been hearing this for the last 2 years. How many more layoffs until we touch the baseline?

Meanwhile, the CEO is estimated to be worth 90B.

Same for housing. In Tokyo median rent price for a 1BR is $600-$700. No onerous contracts either with month-to-month rental options. The freedom to explore creative and business endeavors without these worries cannot be overstated.

Does anyone know if they're investigating that? It was supposedly in his car, in the hotel parking lot he was staying at for the deposition. Seems implausible there wasn't a security camera somewhere in the vicinity.

The stock market is so fucking fake. What a dumb system we have created.

I recall the forced update on windows 10 booted some anti poaching rangers off their machines used for gps coordination for like 12hrs in the African bush where they had already poor internet connection and potentially lost some endangered animals.

"We at Boeing apologize for the door accident. Let us reassure you with a rational explanation: Basically it went all weird, due to nails being a bad size or maybe shape. It went wonky or something. Because the metal bits were wrong and/ or small or possibly the wrong type/ kind. "

One of those situations where even if the company did nothing wrong, the CEO's response is so smarmy you can't help but distrust them. https://x.com/henrysward/status/1743794996732735679?s=46

China executes billionaires with some regularity. Li Jianping got the death penalty last year. There were like a dozen that got it in the aughts from mining corruption. Not to say they are free of corruption but America will never do this.

Deploy the lobbyists!

I always wonder if passengers are compensated for like.. the trauma? The videos going around on Twitter show the oxygen masks dropped and people chatting in their seats about thinking they were going to die. Seems like a fine line between manufacturing "shortcuts" and criminal negligence.

Does anyone have any anecdoctal evidence around the snappiness of VsCode with Apple Silicon? I very begrudgingly switched over from SublimeText this year (after using it as my daily driver for ~10yrs). I have a beefy 2018 MBP but VScode just drags. This is the only thing pushing me to upgrade my machine right now but I'd be bummed if there's still not a significant improvement with an m3 pro.

Agree with the sentiment (and have no better solutions either) but the lesser symptoms of clinical depression like insomnia, inability to focus, etc. are probably the more pressing concerns.

Yeah, in my experience developers who go above and beyond (especially in agile sweatshops) are generally rewarded with more responsibilities and the compensation never scales. Promoting these types into new roles is costly bc they can't really be replaced.

Has yours been improving at all? Mine started (just in the left ear) about 48hrs after my 3rd Pfizer shot and remained loud for ~8months. Several months of noticeable dissipation followed by true silence at about the 1-year mark. Thought I was in the clear but it's started again out of nowhere this fall. I'm optimistic it will improve again and can probably be controlled with better lifestyle habits but at this stage is something I feel I will be managing forever. I've seen ENT's and audiologists but they're unable to help past confirming my inner ear and hearing are fine. In 2022 John Stewart had some infectious disease experts on his podcast and one of the epidemiologists stated that he got tinnitus from his 2nd vaccine, and his 3rd exacerbated it. It was at that point that I realized it had to be somewhat common.

> We are long past the point where most people are concerned about getting sick from COVID

Sadly true. I wish there was more discourse on HN about this. I don't think 10+ years from now this will be sustainable without revelatory therapeutics or vaccines that offer complete and total protection. It seems clear that this is going to be a slow burn where everyone's immune system gets nicked, little by little. Contracting covid once a year or couple of years seems to be the reality we're willing to live with and I am terrified of the long term implications of this.

It is really discouraging how defense contractors seem to be some of the easiest to get / most prevelant jobs at the moment.

Nothing to add but I started spotting these "is the iOS keyboard getting worse or am I going crazy" threads (mostly on twitter) last year but I swear in the last ~4 months it has gotten demonstrably worse...like it's comically bad. My typing accuracy these days is dreadful.

Health insurance tied to employment is the second biggest scam in American history after Reaganomics. It forces people to stay in crappy jobs to maintain coverage and fucks with collective bargaining rights.

We need universal, single payer healthcare.

In addition to the ticky tack scams he managed on his way out, his golden parachute was historic.

Neumann may have lost his company, but he didn’t leave empty-handed. He walked away with what many called a “golden parachute,” a package that was valued at nearly $2 billion. “Adam Neumann will essentially get a king’s ransom for grossly mismanaging the company on his way out,” Amy Borrus, deputy director of the Council of Institutional Investors, told the Washington Post. The New York Times called Neumann’s deal one of the greatest examples of someone failing upwards.

Having a LinkedIn account still seems necessary to be taken seriously, but in my experience using LinkedIn to network and job search seems less useful than ever.

Are nitter instances still working? I was under the impression that project died when Elon curtailed api access.

In America, about half of the homeless population is employed. "Homeless won't do labor" is a common misnomer.

They're paid insultingly low wages. Not using them as a servant is the nice thing to do.

> Lochridge discovered the viewing window on front of sub "was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers...to...4,000 meters...OceanGate refused to pay...to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters."

Previously unseen levels of "I told you man, I warned you" here.

Talk about a live demo going poorly, sheesh.

Alex Karp and Peter Theil... the famously trustworthy individuals guiding our society.

How do you define "woke?"

Bc the strategy is all wrong. They need to give them homes to live in for free, no strings attached. There's ~600k homeless people in america. If the budget is $25B per year, that's 43k/person. No means tests just free apartments.

National Alliance estimates it would cost $25B per year to eliminate homelessness in America. As always, it's the upper echelon that is the true welfare state.
