No, because in actual social settings, human inherently promote views they find to be reputable, and minimize the impact of speech they believe to be dishonest and/or harmful. Social media largely does the opposite, as a byproduct of o

wildlife markets were an idea from Mao, because what else are you going to do when you have a population of hundreds of millions that are dying of starvation after colonial expansion and civil war? But even if it had been intended as a stop

You can add Trump to that list as well, though it isn't a genetic inheritance. Chomsky's Requiem for the American Dream lays out in detail how intertwined the Trump family has been in conservative national politics for ages

Completely agree. If she had released this in a different medium it would be a wonderfully fun achievement (which I think is what most of the comments are responding to), but what she actually did is quite literally a detriment to humanity.

Weird that you're arguing that 3% isn't a CoL raise, when inflation has been pegged to 2.25% for decades, and is currently 8%+

Which is horseshit. I'm currently working at my first bigco company, and I would consider the MAJORITY of people they have hired in the last year to be horrifically bad hires, because they have optimized for new hires that can leetcod

Two things: 1 - Them sending you a teeshirt is a form of advertising. They're hoping you will wear it and be an advocate for them in your social circle. This is a reasonable thing to spend money on. 2 - Engagement. They're tryi

I believe you have missed the point of my post. I have updated it in the hope that perhaps I have made the point clearer.

What the responses that people are sending to you are trying to point out, is that while this is an honorable rule of thumb, it doesn't scale. You cannot build a society this way, or none of us would be able to function reasonably. It

Generally in the more left-leaning European countries, there is a greater emphasis put on personal health, dress, and presentation. You can see it just walking down main city streets, while ever city has more and less fashionable areas, th

I wrote a response to this already here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31092829 But perhaps a different way of answering your question would be a more apt response? Take this with a grain of salt, but in my experienc

I agree that a good interview process should check that the applicants have their bases covered with algorithms and data structures. I agree that having a compendium of good questions to ask for this purpose is useful. And I agree that Ha

If you're just using HackerRank as a first round filter to see if they can write syntactically-correct code in a language... you don't need hackerRank. Or to restate this, if your interview process can't filter out such a ca

I'm not in Canada, but I am in the NYC region, and your comment is absurd. Assuming you want to live in a safe area, but not live inside the 5 city boros, you're looking at 1MM for a house, and an hour+ commute. But yeah, "c

Yeah, the city should step in to fill this role. Perhaps they could pass some sort of law requiring that current oil-based infrastructure has to support battery charging as well. Gas stations might be a particularly good target, since the

So its a public https endpoint, with no built in throttling? This... doesn't seem like a ddos vulnerability to anyone? All it would take is one script kiddie to rack up an unsuspectingly large aws bill, no?

I think the idea here is important, but the word choice could be better clarified. What she is describing is the difference between being polite, and being good. Knowing how to be polite is an important skill for social decorum and practici
