This post - and many other conversations we’ve had on the subject on HN - are about the lack of integrity of academic journals. More broadly, this contributes to discussions about fraud in academia, the reproducibility crisis, and the press

> any such effort would be less trustworthy than the original publication. The idea that scrutiny would be less reliable than blind trust is absurd. The question in the OP, for example, could have been in the comments sections of these p

Note that this data is all self-reported and unverified. Probably doesn't include the average dev. Also median household income in SF is half the top entry level salaries listed, so keep that in mind when looking at the data and thinki

The USSR ran enterprises at a loss and kept workers idle though. And then their economy and government collapsed. Not exactly a recipe for success.

Is there a use for this that isn’t to enable criminals?

I’d laugh at triple that. This is a strong indicator Intel will not be turning things around.

> teachers unions keep terrible teachers employed Are there a bunch of would-be teachers clamoring for those jobs? I think the lack of desirability is what keeps terrible teachers employed. There also aren't great ways to measure ho

You can literally code in most browsers by accessing their developer tools. It's a hotkey away. You can go write javascript right now. Second, there are many tools like https://repl.it/ and https://aws.amazo

Are there better such forums for such discussion? Frankly, their election fraud thread - which has hundreds of comments demonstrating both extreme misunderstanding of statistics and the voting process, coupled with a willingness to make or

Is this the part where we pretend your organization doesn’t already use something like a ticketing service, wiki, etc? I find it hard to believe you don’t have any sort of tool to post information already. If it’s true, run.

How is this different from any other moderation? Nobody would bat an eye if you were banned from HN or reddit for hate speech. Why should a platform be any different? If my customer started using my services to spread Nazism, I'd ban t

We’ve been saying it for years. With governments printing money (even electronically), that seems unlikely. We’re at more risk of high inflation making our cash worthless and our salaries horribly out of sync with needs. Hyperinflation coul

Corporations get to choose who they do business with, who’s on their platforms. If they don’t want to do business with a platform for hatred, violence, and fascism, they shouldn’t. Of course they should have done this 4 years ago...

Right, it's better than just putting the money into the pockets of some hedge fund managers by buying stock. But definitely worse than Amazon paying a better wage and not treating employees like robots.

$4B is not even close to enough to do either of those things. The Apollo program cost $283 billion in inflation-adjusted dollars.

CLRS is over 1000 very dense pages. I assume the author just did a fairly casual reading and didn't work through many problems. Even still, this is a full month of study just for the interview process, and little of this sticks unless

Github has some great management tools for reviewing code and integrating with various integrations. But so does Gitlab, Bitbucket... and I'm sure there are more. They aren't 1 for 1 replacements, but they do exist. I'd perso

Sure, the impact is different. But on the other hand, I try to follow this rule as much as possible: “One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.

If Github is going to block people for accessing from Iran, why don't they just block all Iranian ips? I'd totally blame Github for this.
