A Steelcase Leap V2, $150 (and 90 minute round trip pickup) using Facebook Marketplace. I probably got a little bit lucky, but it is definitely worth checking for things like this. Also, a shout out to my friend who let me try his for 30 mi

As a senior IC formerly in a similar situation, I’ll affirm this is brilliantly written and even deeper than it looks. I’ll add: Many of the Indian ICs I worked with were fine, but there was at least one manager who was an absolute disaster

I strongly recommend building a little instinct in yourself for "what if HN search could help with this question" - for books especially: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21900498 And someone took it upon them

The model needs four buckets: 20-30: Needs mentorship, can live closer to the office 30-40: Has young kids, moved to the burbs 40+ AND Management: Developed management approach pre-pandemic, pre-Slack 40+ but IC: Could go either way This is

Great quote, I bet it was very true in 1989 (34 years ago!) I'm not going to try to prove the opposite, but after some number of DECADES it's worth checking on followup research. Here are some good places to start: https:/&#

I don't have a horse in the race, but maybe before jumping to conclusions people should read the reactions of students themselves? They're very easy to find: https://www.independent.com/2022/07/27/mi

Thank you for sharing your prompt! I hear people talking about how much ChatGPT has changed their life and I sometimes feel like I am accidentally using an entirely different product – it’s definitely worth $20 a month but I find myself dis

I’ve found LLMs to be good for those sorts of vague “remember that thing like this?” searches. Bing (with GPT) or even Bard with potentially better search integration are both worth a try.

To +1 and say the same thing another way: If you don't like their strategy, don't buy their stock. Just wait for the innovations to diffuse Xerox PARC-style, and reap the benefits. It might take a decade and return 1% of promised,

Not an expert, but I suspect that getting them from the factory to the dock (and finding a dock that would not be a nightmare to maneuver through) is a pretty significant part of the challenge

Do you think of it as a choice, and what are the pros/cons compared to your feasible alternatives? What’s your long term plan?

I just participated in a hiring cycle at my company for a junior data scientist and nobody (candidate, HR, hiring manager) mentioned certificates at all, so consider that a medium negative signal. All our interviewees had a DS masters and m

Thank you for specifying that you do not have a family. More people should give their life context when they make posts like this, positive or negative. There has been a time in my life for each type of work arrangement, and there will be a

Yeah, me too. It's boring, but after the last decade I'm more than willing to accept that "cost" for the benefit of having a sense of what's going on with my contacts. Does anyone know how to efficiently unfollow la

To be fair, the odds that the people behind that are still at the company are <<50% I think that the better base rate would be stories from Tesla, etc. Of which I imagine there are many (I don't have time to keep up with specific

I’m willing to believe it, but you’re making a claim which should be trivial to back up with sources, so please do (or I’ll have to assume you can’t)

Maybe everything changes at $1 trillion, but I definitely see smaller (but public) companies leaving money on the table because it would require cultural change.

What took them so long? Is “new“ a core concept of “news“, and hasn’t this been possible (in select cities) for many months?

I have used it for several weeks, I would recommend a more specific question. On the UBI front, I had somewhat more success (though no consensus) with a concrete question on employment : https://consensus.app/results/?q

Maybe "Waymo kills" isn't a great way to start this headline, especially given many other words would convey the actual intent just fine...

I try to think of each top-level comment like a sales pitch to get me to respond. If it smells even slightly funny, I pass. The next opportunity is just a 'next' away.
