This entire story reminded me a lot of the story of the inventor of the gas mask[1] who had to hire a white actor to play as the inventor during presentations Scary things don’t change and little progress has been made. [1] https:/&#x

I’m sorry you and your friend dealt with that. It’s not just geo subs that have this problem. A friend of mine who mods a number of comedy subs (of all things) showed me his mod mail that appeared to indicate systematic brigading from fa

I agree, this seems an extremely self-serving creed for "Twitter devs" Other companies offer added benefits to retain their valuable talent. The push among "social media stars" to declare long tenures as a negative is pr

I think that’s a media talking point to drive down wages. There are definitely jobs, the amount quality and reliability are decreasing.

I miss when HN throwaways were used to serve as whistleblowers. Not for spreading "The Bell Curve" 90s research and unsourced white nationalist propaganda.

I turned 28 this year and I feel the exact same way. I’m floating along okay, but I’m deathly afraid of dev jobs and employers locking me out for being too old or not having some TED talk in my field.

Sadly we live in a post-ironic world. There are two camps of people who either don’t believe in climate change entirely or see climate change as a means to achieve an ecofascist state.

Did the Bankers deserve 29Tn bailout? How’s that for “coddling and preventing them from making poor decisions” The yield curve has already inverted so we’re looking down the barrel of “Recession The Sequel.” But yeah, keep blaming GenX (and

This is a company that recommends you nazi videos just for watching anything political. I think they’ve given up on ethics and the greater fight for what’s right long ago.
