Yeah, just do the same Mike Tyson did, but be faster, hit harder and be more aggressive :)

I also think some of those CEOs should be fired, but I don't even think there was over hiring... It's more that demand went up by a lot suddenly, and then down by a lot suddenly.

Same difference, after 7-10 years, it becomes a banger, or at least it has enough problems that you worry.

You may be confused and may want to post on 'who wants to be hired' https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38490809. This is for people who have jobs and want people.

Besides the old/young divide, I think there's the geek/suit, or maker/manager divide.

As a geek, most of my time is spent working alone, even in ill-defined projects that require a lot of coordination and communication. Working from 'home' (more from wherever I want) is better. Also, although I agree that we lose something if we communicate remotely, I don't terribly care. When I communicate, information is more important than emotions. And they want me to work in an open floor office, ugh.

Suits spent most of their time in meetings. They also care much more about the emotions and human touch. They've spent years optimizing for firm handshakes, nice hair, good smiles and that weird clicking noise :).

Basically, suits want the office, geeks don't. Productivity doesn't have much to do with it :)

A monotonical decrease on the supply of stuff, like what we've had with oil.

Except we'll not always get those undergrads ... When most of the stories are about layoffs, we won't get any more majors, but it takes ~5 years to start (not that many people will change majors).

How much can they relax the requirements, and what effects would it have on their products?

Alternatively, how much more they'd have to pay to get the same quality of people? I'd assume it's close to 20% more, which should be significant

For normal fiction, the Kindle is ideal for me. Much more comfortable to hold than even a small paperback, can increase the font size (getting old) and can illuminate the screen. Plus, I can carry a full library with me.

I haven't found anything better than paper for technical docs, but getting a PDF and printing the few pages I need is amazing.

Notice you are creating your own arbitrary definition of 'truly open', which IMHO corresponds more with 'reproducible'.

We already have a definition of open source. I don't see any reason to change it.

Rice is s cereal.

The main problem is the processing, not the underlying grain ;)

I think they can vibrate at different frequencies, and so some can be at frequencies lower than we can hear

Actually the issue is not residency; basically everyone who graduates med school gets a residency.

The filter is on entering med school.

Because I want to see my kids become full adults? I want to meet my grandkids?

There's still a lot of things I want to see and do.

My kids are older now, but I found this very interesting - https://www.kogics.net/kojo

One thing that worked for me is to let them guide me. When they stopped being interested I'd wait a few months and try again

They are the same thing ... wages are lower than they would be without migration.

Whether you count them as low or high, they are lower

Only if you want to come back ... If not, you can leave and ignore everything ;)

If you are reading this, ignore the despair and misogynism above.

We definitely can use more programs, but there are tons of programs, government and private. Community college is cheap (or free with grants). You can do this.

In the US? The most obvious way would be to get a crappy job, enter community college; in two years, get an associates and a better job, and go from there.

Unemployment is low because the economy is growing, and our population has been getting older on average.

We have many different ways of measuring unemployment, which count different things. For example, employment to population ratio of prima age (25-54) is at 80.8%, just shy of the all time high of 81.9%.

It is very different than China, and there's no information being hidden.

Why wild? Most people can have a few drinks, and stop before getting drunk; that's normal. Drinking until you are drunk is not normal.

Actually, I work for one of the FAANGs. The vast majority of employees don't one to go back to the office either.

What makes it even worse is the one-size-fits-all mandate, with strict enforcement, like you didn't come in to the office Monday, so you have to come on Tuesday.

IQ testing is not illegal in the US ...

It may be easier to not use it than to produce evidence that it is relevant, but ...

Ivies have about a 5% admission rate, and they probably have a much higher percentage of valedictorians than the general population.

They probably reject way more than 50% of the valedictorian/800 SAT applicants they have.

Unless you are super-special, you need to be at that level and be lucky

Slacking 'hey, can we do a quick huddle?' takes about the same time as walking to someone's desk (less if the desk is far away;)

Have the 10 second conversation over video

Not sure if this would work for you, but I tend to have ad-hoc, 1on1 video calls with people.

If you are not doing deep work, it's no biggie.

I also would schedule 1on1 meetings to 'catch-up' (not too many of them, but ...)

Don't get me wrong, meeting some of these people in person is great, but I have several great relationships at work where we've never met in person

A lot of people cheat, but you also need to keep in mind most disabilities are not binary, but have degrees.

Many people may be able to get up the wheelchair and walk a little, but may not be able to walk a mile in the airport... Or may not be able to navigate the complicated airport environment.

That is ... wrong, or at least very reductionist.

Yes, I do my work for money, and would not do it if they don't pay me, but it's definitely not just money. I like my team, have personal friends among them, and find pleasure and realization in doing a good job.

Of course! Basically everything is paid by somebody (TANSTAAFL). Nobody thinks that free education is magically free, everybody understands that it's paid by taxes/government/society.

OTOH, it is a much cooler slogan than 'education paid by society at large :)
