Either way we're spending more because free work doesn't come from nowhere. Mass carbon cleaning will drive the price up on everything.

On your latter point, we don't need to go to China to know about it. The fact the great firewall exists is an affront to human liberty. All other freedoms are downstream from speech.

Until the next hack links their real name with their handle? No thanks.

Fully paid, but it's a FAANG so that's not necessarily surprising.

It already is.

It's also possible that this one day of intense work is unsustainable for 5 days, and this is just their working style. There's nothing wrong with that as long as this isn't done out of laziness.

But we're not paid by CoL, rather, the job market. If I move to a very small but expensive village, I'm not going to get paid more than being in London. Silicon Valley is just a weird edge case where there's so much talent in

As a layman, I don't understand why future investment isn't priced in already?

The effects of racism from 100 years ago isn't necessarily considered racism today, since the socioeconomic component is the key factor hurting these communities today, not race.

For a different reason. The community was generally upset about Heroes for the potential of large groups to mass flag videos they disagreed with politically, something that was already a growing problem at the time. Disclosure: I work for b

People can at least be told about the concept. Mentioning the socratic method yields nothing but blank stares to high schoolers.

Up to 14 weeks of family leave for parents. I don't have kids but I'm happy for those around me who need it to not be completely stressed out. The only thing I'm unsure about is if it hurts career progression, but I doubt any

How is it YC's problem? The founder is choosing to start a company and asking YC for money. Clearly they're not short of startups on the supply side of their equation.

Correlation is not causation, HN should know this. The problem is down to injustices from long ago, and a lack of ability to build generational wealth stemming from that historical racism. It doesn't mean that race is the defining fact

There are also a few domain-specific headers in-use: Privacy, Ethics and Security are very common to see.

Yep. They have a monopoly on the verification of knowledge and not knowledge itself. That's why brand names are so valued.

I mean, you're right... but the goal of an analogy isn't to be perfect, but to be a rough mental model to quickly express a concept. I think it's fine. Different jobs require different levels of abstraction and design docs fu

Critical thinking is not taught properly in western schools.

Design docs are one of my favourite things about software engineering. If code is the bricks and mortar, then these docs are the blueprints. I know this is fairly controversial, but our jobs isn't just to write code. Navigating organis

Being paid cash in hand is usually how most teenagers get their first job too. If govt. clamped down on this then you'd see a lot of youngsters struggling to get onto the market, and I believe that's why they let it slide.

Kids don't learn like adults. They can't replace teachers and peers with computers, not permanently.

Because we don't sell units of productivity - we're selling units of labour. If I don't sell 40 hours per week, somebody else will.

This is the real issue. Imo: there's not enough upwards mobility in jobs because people are retiring later in life. We need to make it cheaper to retire and for workforces to move up the ladder. I know this sounds elitist, but when I w
