I think it depends on your definition of freedom of speech. I don't support providing a platform for harmful lies to spread e.g. QAnon In my opinion, internet and social media changed the game. Freedom of speech now is not the same as

I completely support freedom of speech. But what if there are people or companies who are making money from spreading complete lies which are very harmful to the society? I am happy for them to say what they want to small groups of people,

It sounds like you do what you can. Unfortunately, people like you leave as they can't put up with it any longer and the company is just left with people who are happy with the status quo.

I think "resiliency" is a positive way of phrasing it. In my opinion, it's more of a case of checking if you can fit in and put up with corporate BS. I also doubt that companies are on purpose designing the interviews to be t

All you complaining about the length of FAANG interviews... One of my family members was recently applying for a job to stack shelves in a supermarket. They had to do a tricky 3-hours long multiple choice questions test. After that, they go

If aliens don't like us, then why wouldn't they just destroy us, rather than troll our physicists and mess with the results? Why would they specifically mess with the particle accelarators at this point? Why not with earlier physi

It's impossible to measure, but I wonder what % of suicides happens because of the culture that we live in. A lot of times when you read about someone commiting suicide it's blamed on that individual or their mental health - but i

80/20 rule: “Nothing – and I mean nothing – in IT takes less than 80 hours, and whatever you think it’ll actually take, multiply it by 20, and tell management that. You see, 80/20.”

We don't need a lot of people to provide food, shelter, electricity and water for 7.6bn people? What about clothes, cars, furniture, electronics, schools, hospitals, medical equipment? "The main argument is UBI." - is that it

These are few examples and I am expecting the reader would use their imagination a bit. Food production - planting seeds, collecting crops, watering the farms, creating anti-pesticides, creating all the farming equipment, packaging food, di

I was only giving an argument against the "antiwork mentality". This doesn't mean that I want to preserve the status-quo or I that I think the existing system is perfect. I agree that there are many issues in our society and

How is this a scalable approach to everyone in the society? Someone has to work to produce food. Someone has to work to produce electricity. Until we can automate everything, most people have to work and contribute to society (unless you ch

Interesting. I always imagined supply chains as a flow in one direction, with each further step of the chain making more complicated stuff. But your comment made me realise that supply chains can be more like a loop, with the more complicat

Lots of people will read this headline and think 'rich' doesn't apply to them. Judging by the income thresholds in the article, I think most HN readers might be in the top 10% and therefore in the most polluting group that sh
