It's not that no one cares; it's that these stories are flame bait, and off-topic for Hacker News. Yet this seems to be all that you ever post about, despite the fact that your posts keep getting flagged. Why do you think this is

Okay, so what did you get from Drucker?

by NtochkaNzvanova 2y ago
Drucker is a joke. A management "expert" who never ran a company. The fact that he is a hero to the sociopathic managerial elite says it all.

This is a barely-disguised job ad for a (likely unpaid) internship position at a YC company. Flagged. Also, it's a clickbait title. The actual article content is more like "how to become a barely competent junior programmer",

Thanks for sharing the lecture, from watching the first 1/3 or so it looks very interesting. Do you have any pointers to an introduction to Sāṁkhya and Nyāya philosophy that might be good for beginners? Specifically people with no prio

There are basically two things you get by pursuing an MS instead of just picking up the same knowledge on your own: (1) more structure and (2) a credential. (Okay, three: if you're junior, it's a way to continue building your netw

Agree that spending needs to be cut. But my understanding is that before Prop 13, California's tax revenue was more balanced between property, sales, and income taxes, and thus less subject to the boom and bust cycles that we see now (

Parent comment said "Repealing Prop 13 and removing local control of zoning decisions can be done via votes in the legislature". I don't know if that is true or not, I'm responding to that premise. Either one of you coul

Then why do you think the tax-happy Democrats who control the legislature haven't repealed Prop 13 yet? After all, it is a relic of an era when anti-tax Republicans still had influence in California politics. My theory is that if it we

Again, if the tech is shit, the employee should either speak up and call it out so it gets fixed, or quit. It's a deployed product (FTA: "Musk estimated the number of cars on North American roads with FSD beta installed had reache

AFAIK laid off Googlers have the option of finding a role in another team instead of leaving the company entirely. So I am sure there are some who have taken advantage of that, but I wouldn't describe that as "hiring back the empl

Why is this flagged? You may not agree with Marcus, but this seems like a perfectly appropriate topic of discussion, and not obvious flamebait.
