I explicitly asked them to put me on a blacklist because there's no way in hell I'm working for Facebook. They may not be directly culpable, but they allowed their platform to be used in ways to subvert democratic norms and instit

Google's ad network is pretty ubiquitous since it spans almost all the known web. Facebook is pretty big too but relies mostly on its own platform (FB, Inst etc.). For sure Google is affected, but I imagine the impact is less. Also one

Sorry, what do you mean by "real weight"? They absolutely dominate among Gen-Z, and is catching on mainstream appeal pretty quickly as well.

Anecdotally from Blind its mostly recruiters and business ops, but engineers as well (but not exclusively). Distribution is not yet known.

Its been mentioned in other places but to summarize: * this is a cost cutting measure and not primarily driven by the need to cull "low performing" employees. * point of the company is not to guarantee employment or even keep the

The VC/Execs seem to have latched on to the idea of companies being overstaffed, and this narrative is being amplified by "tech influencers" as a way to explain layoffs. Without data to back this claim, I'm gonna treat i

It should be viewed as a cat and mouse game. The general philosophy at these orgs is that the same failures should never happen _again_. So you build automation and safeguards protecting the system from the failure modes you know. However,

You need to sign a separation agreement to get severance and other such benefits.

I did about 30 interviews last time I was job hunting. It wasn't all at once, I would interview in waves: at most 3 final interviews a week. Doing that along with a full time job is definitely tricky, but with virtual interviews its ma

Yeah layoffs impact not just the people that leave but also those that remain. The ones that leave at least have the opportunity to move on. The people left have to worry both about the layoffs and also need to work harder. Its a bad situat

The crucial part is how its handled. If the company shows generosity during the separation, going beyond what was expected, I would certainly consider going back. If they only do the minimal required or less, probably not.

not really. States don't always honor agreements if they don't make sense. They can have a change in leadership etc.

Not never, but definitely its the default. I certainly prefer the terminal wherever its offered. If there was a way to avoid that last step, it would probably save restaurants a lot of time. Guests could leave sooner as they wouldn’t have t

There will always be people that have a better life than you have in every dimension. Learning to deal with that fact is part of life.

The oil reserves are not serving the purpose of controlling oil prices. You would need a truly astronomical amount of reserves to control the market, which isn’t exactly the best way to use your nations wealth. Buying more during the dip wo

Its sort of lazy thinking, so of course a lot of people will come to the same conclusion. I mean, sure there might be people not giving their best. But most people want to do work, want their work to be meaningful, and will generally do the

Painfully true. And once that exception is made, its easy to poke holes for more requests, until the security systems becomes somewhat pointless.

We kinda sorta already have laws designed to make software systems secure, but they aren't really followed in spirit. I suspect what's needed is an expansion of NIST-like bodies, more concrete specifications for what is and isn&#x

Well the problem is that this is what North American cities look like. But cities can be different. They can be mostly transit + bikes, but that seems impossible to do in CS.

This is quite normal. The CS curriculum is more about breadth than depth. My personal experience has been that this knowledge is useful as a way of knowing “the lay of the land”. My brain knows that a cpu has a limited addressable space due

Why would it lead to dropoffs in quality? I think u are underestimating how much ingenuity workers of all cultures have when its encouraged. Considering the strength of American research universities, I believe that we might see gains in qu

This is simply how markets work. Currently the US has so much wealth disparity that billionaires will simply move from monopolizing one industry to another, whenever it becomes legal and lucrative. Ideally, we would have mechanisms that pre

I think this isn’t a very helpful perspective. Yes you can be mad, yell and blame or whatever. But if policymakers are transparent about incidents and root causes and follow up on failures, thats the culture I would prefer rather than getti

The population of the entire state of Nevraska is less that 2 million. The population of a single city in CA (LA) is twice that. Not an apples to apples comparison.

Agreed. The heat wave and incredibly low water levels in reservoirs were not something that had been anticipated or planned for.
