You linked to a site that literally showed Walmart's non-tech arm (hint: the majority of the tech jobs at Walmart aren't under 'Walmart' on levels.fyi) paying comparable salaries (you yourself compared them)... But yeah,

Like I said, if you don't understand what's going on here, you're not qualified to have this conversation.

If you knew anything about this you'd know "Walmart" isn't what you search. But if you knew anything about English you'd know "ballpark" doesn't mean "exactly equal".

Fortune... 3. not FAANG but in retail. Can hit $500k total comp easily, if you live on either coast.
455.
by Zetice 3y ago
Depends on the role. $500k total comp is common on the tech scale of the companies I'm familiar with. While not the $800k+ you might see at some FAANG in specific roles, it absolutely is enough to no longer consider FAANG if you&#x

I can assure you they are absolutely paying in the same ballpark as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Google, you just don't know how to limit your searches to the tech roles.

Most Fortune 100 companies are competitive now, and the most money is extremely meaningless.

Where did I say this was crap?
459.
by Zetice 3y ago
This isn’t true, and even if it were, “most money possible” isn’t a meaningful metric.

There’s not actually a way to stay engaged while also disengaging with content that upsets you, so no, do not go hang out with friends or build things when you get upset. Learn how to get less upset.

To be fair to the author, difficult here could just mean “more complex than it seems” which he does a good job of illustrating, specifically around the additional concerns that go in beyond the actual processing of the water. He says it’s v

You may have avoided it in your reply to me, but the comment I replied to of yours clearly suggests people disengage from understanding what is going on around them, rather than learn how to extract value from unreliable sources.

Either you are an expert on the topic of systems engineering and can assess the quality of this submission but don’t need it as you have better sources, or you are not an expert and can therefore not assess its quality (it comes from a rand

None of what you wrote here leads to the advice that one should, as a matter of regular course, hide from or disengage in understanding what is going on around them, however.

I genuinely feel bad for folks who think “billionaires” or any other group of people are either capable or willing to successfully coordinate in a general sense to steer global events.

One question; who introduces bias into reporting?
467.
by Zetice 3y ago
You continue to misunderstand. The concept is a simple one; stop blindly trusting strangers, start finding groups that have a monetary incentive to be accurate. If you can’t grasp the concept of incentive alignment, system design is probabl
468.
by Zetice 3y ago
Nope! You entirely misunderstand; it’s about incentive and consequence, not self esteem or reverence. Those institutions exist as a result of their reputation, and that reputation is harmed by giving bad instruction. This random Internet

Yeah, basically. Their main goal is to emit their energy via light, not heat, and while if you fire one right into a dense, dry forest it won’t go well, their standard use has their explosion occur in the open air, after which the remains

Learning how to freely take in the content without being meaningfully effected is another of the main tools.

by Zetice 3y ago
It’s not really accurate to say we “light stuff on fire” considering how fireworks function. Not much in a firework is actually all that hot post explosion, for example.

Could be useful? Could be misleading, wrong, outdated, manipulated… there’s a reason these people are self publishing. You asking me how I learn is the very problem, in fact. When the consequences of being wrong are basically zero, the in

You can try to avoid bias and “infohazards” but you’ll be unable to completely eliminate them. Better to live with the tools to disarm the hazard than spend your life hiding from anything “exciting”.

by Zetice 3y ago
No, they aren’t. They’re discussing whether or not knowing things is worth it, which is completely different. Your point doesn’t make sense once you realize there’s a difference between news and news media.
475.
by Zetice 3y ago
“quality seems good” is the point of contention here; how would you know? You’re either already knowledgeable about this topic and therefore necessarily didn’t learn it from here or you’re not and therefore unqualified to judge its quality
476.
by Zetice 3y ago
Ah and that’s the actual problem; I didn’t do what you claim, but you can’t tell the difference between my judgement and a fact, can you? Or to be more accurate, you can tell but you think that’s because you saw through a ruse.

It's not working for the multinational corporations either. They're getting fined in the trillions, they're losing workers faster than they can replace them, their profits are shrinking again, and the world in which they con

...yes? Does me having an opinion about the state of my society as a result of following what happens in it bother you?
479.
by Zetice 3y ago
That's news media , not news. The media reports the news, in ways you may dislike, but the actual content they're sharing with you is rooted in literal events that took place.

Why would you interview for a role at a FAANG company in the first place?
