To sound perhaps a bit weird now I guess but: isn't empathizing with another team normal? I would not want to be in a company that was OK with some team taking the short end of the stick continuously... It says a lot about people and w

I am curious if this lack of bias stems from the imposed way of life or some other effect and not the mild autism itself. E.g. Certain professions instill in you biases. Or force you to pick them. Examples: police officers, medical, politic

Oh no, I unfortunately agree. Taking shortcuts and politics in a lot of companies is the way to the top. I guess my bubble has a more idealistic '10x'er definition @TeeMassive.

Well depends on the definition. 10x engineers in my book, ensure that the system is maintainable, simple enough for the problem, well thought and readable. Consequences also can be extremely subjective. I have the experience of a single tea

These are not additive however. If you are a daytrader for instance you will buy and sell, say amazon, multiple times in a week, and will clear your portfolio over the weekend or holidays etc. If you do statistical arbitrage/mispricin

Sure. He is still the executive chair of the board and the largest stakeholder. There are different type of board members in companies -- some are "independent" -- essentially free floating and attaching their vote to the "to

I am not sure there are good solutions besides going off browser. P.S. I was involved in user authorization, attestation and privacy flows for a particular product recently and the browser was always where shit hit the fan. The web features

Can't say we promote that anywhere though. Did he rise to a high rank? Became a thought leader? He was reprimanded, and he considered according to him that he just did his job and nothing really (that is to his credit perhaps). I didn&

There is the reality of wanting to keep control of your company. I can't guess Bezos' reasoning and philanthropy beyond that -- I don't have access to his taxes to state if he gives some amount secretly or not. I would be mor

Yeah let's drive a light tank into a house without knowing anything. That is smart. I wild fire them for stupidity but guess who is more stupid for not voting them out...??? It is all our fault at the end of the day.

I am afraid yes... The tragedy is there will be a judge that will hear them.

As @macintux noted there are many here complaining. I don't think it's really hard to find people having a concerned opinion honestly.

What I don't really get is why the U.S. supposedly structured to avoid such militarization has given in the fear and allowed such militarization to happen and propagate oppressive state arm usage. Every encounter with the police is exp

I think the prison system in the U.S. tells a lot about humanity and how democracy is (not) implemented. First of all, removing someone's access and right to speech and voting, is degenerative to the society. We send people to prison t

And Proof of Work is better because the haves buy equipment the have-nots can't buy to vote? Unless you have a citizenship based voting of some short where a single person gets a single vote and they actually vote (automatically I gues

U.S. is the only country I know that considers algebra advanced. It's fundamental in the rest of the world.

I would rephrase it as a paradigm of the phrase they are or going to be the sucker at the poker table and don't know about it.

One of my first examples. That story was ironic in so many levels.

Are you going to vote with your money and pay for such a company to exist is the right question I would say.

Not just cheaper. Also faster and easier. International transfers are mostly in the moving money before PayPal or credit cards era. If you are a private client or institution you might get a few free wires etc. Otherwise pay and wait. And t

Agreed. Companies are beholden to their customers and investors -- nothing to do with technology. Might not make sense now. Or ever. Who knows? History is filled with companies failing or succeeding depending on such pivoting choices. But y

This really depends on the content. A lot of areas of content have useful comment communities actually.

If they are worried about dislike attacks why don't they blind the data with delayed effects?? Like update of a dislike appears days later but you can still see a ratio of likes vs dislikes for the last year or so...

Thank you! (In my past IC/employee experience I had noticed the same.)

Never ever ever ever give your phone number to Google for verification or authorization. People just don't understand how easy it is to find someone's phone number and then steal it for long enough to steal e.g. emails. Has happen

And CTRL-S for forward search. Generally you can use most/all your emacs keybindings (if you are an emacs user and somehow were unaware). You can also do `set -o vi` or `set` the `editing-mode` or `keymap` to `vi` respectively. So if y

Thank you for that perspective and congratulations! If I may ask a similar question: did you feel, once you signed up the first employee, that there was a point early on that staff growth was too slow or too fast? Congratulations again!

This legend or similar exist throughout European countries. I am not sure how based in reality they are, but there must be fragments of truth, or common approaches that were later exaggerated.
