My question to you is: why do people spend money on those glorified stage plays and not just spend all their money on Hollywood movies? It's likely that Hollywood movies just don't align perfectly with the local culture due to lim

Not having a ranking/promotion/PIP system also eventually creates pathological behaviors in the company baring temporary situations of near infinite revenue unrelated to what employees do.

If a company wants to rank engineers then there is always a metric to rank engineers. That metric may simply be how much the manager or director likes each engineer. That's still a metric and it still can be gamed (ie: classic kiss ass

More likely they're afraid the hire will be too bad (and not even realize it). Anyone can be a CEO. Start an LLC and make yourself the CEO. Done. It's a meaningless title without context.

Definitely, the fact they're rent seeking against similar small companies clearly shows that. Sad that rather than looking inward to improve themselves they've decided to just attack others.

Meta blocked the news content, no more stealing according to your own line of argument, how is that a bad outcome? You can't have it both ways that this is stealing so it's bad but that not stealing is also bad because "reaso

Huh? News organizations are explicitly asking third parties to take their content and helping them do so... I'm not sure how that is an argument for third parties taking that content by force. In fact they're now complaining that

Reading the text of the law it would count as news if it ties to any issue or event of public interest. I'm actually having difficulty thinking of a post by a large organization that wouldn't fall under that definition.

by marcinzm 3y ago
Reading the law, if a news outlet makes a post that counts as "news content" such as commenting on any ongoing public issues (including this very topic) then Meta would be potentially liable for it under the law. So unless Meta ha

I'm saying that the effect is much much more impactful than they make it seem with their one line throwaway comment in a long article.

One of the points of the article seemed to be to do gating latter rather than earlier. I'm saying that this is detrimental as being around the dullest stars will make you a dull star more often than not.

The single fastest hire my department did recently was for an EM position. Took something like under two weeks from opening the position to signed offer. No one had ever seen anything like it before.

As I see there is an advantage for managers in terms of rising up the corporate ranks. Management titles form a strict hierarchy. So if your company grow from 10 engineer to 100 engineers then someone needs to be a Director because you &quo

Yeah, Netflix pays this much not because it will replace a near minimum wage writer but because optimizing their advertising tier by 1% will pay back more than the PMs salary every 30 days.

The article they link to about the job says as much so I'd say the author is very much trying to drive a narrative to push an agenda even if one doesn't exist.

It seems like the author really just wants their ideas to be listened to without having to put the political effort into making them listened to. Previously that effort was playing the bureaucracy and now that effort was kissing up to Musk.

The rolling waves of drama around Musk's latest "idea" eventually got more annoying to read on my Following feed so I left Twitter.
