I know a ton of intelligent people in their 30s or 40s at or near the poverty line. Being intelligent doesn't in any way guarantee you good money. If you haven't heard of the just world fallacy, it might be worth looking into.

I think it's convenient to give a leader all of the credit for what is a massive effort by a massive organization. I think it's convenient to say that a massive organization is doing well only because of that leader and not, at le

How big is his severance going to be if he loses complete support from the board? Is he going to get any jail time with that severance?

Yes, this is exactly what I intended to say. I should have said that they also need to treat other employees well too but I fell asleep shortly thereafter. I'm not comfortable working for any company who treats any of their employees l

Yeah, there isn't a chance in hell I would work for Amazon for the foreseeable future. I have plenty of opportunity with employers who pay me to live a comfortable lifestyle and treat me well.

How is it 20,000:1? Google's conversion calculator has it around 20:1 right now.

Hate to break to you but, every corner of the internet mocks every other corner of the internet. Even HN is heavily mocked on other sites.

I feel like I'm much more able to see pedestrians in my Cayman than in my 4Runner. People seem to blend in with the surroundings the higher up I am.

From what I recall of the training I received from a somewhat well-known Chief Quality Officer, you don't get things right more often by getting better people, you get things right more often by making better processes for people to fo

For swe, I've rarely seen it happen except with junior engineers and end-of-career engineers.

X1 carbons aren't exactly known for being the most repairable thinkpads. My new P15 still has a modular gpu and, IIRC, has easy access to most components by removing the back cover.

There are very much different versions of the truth; even at a fundamental level. Do you know what a reference frame in Physics is?

Empathy stops people from doing awful things pretty regularly. Moreover, many religions allow people to subvert their empathy w.r.t. people who don't fit heteronormative standards. Hell, some sects of Christianity are pretty awful to w

For me, it would depend on how stabby the ship is. (I don't want to get injured by a ship in disrepair)

Yeah, I heavily bucked trends at my past 3 companies. I even got into plenty of disagreements with "principal engineers" at the end of their careers and those engineers inevitably won the arguments. However, there were enough tim

I have lived in LA county for more than 25 years and lived in East Hollywood ~1 year. I have never heard gunfire anywhere in LA. I'm sure it happens in the worst areas but I've never heard it and I've been around plenty of re

I don't think this is true. In the circles I run in (which are as nearly as "woke" as you can be), your family and closest friends have carte blanche to tell you you're full of shit. I know I rely on my family and friend

If that was the case, it would be just that much more important than the effects while in the workforce. In actuality, a lot of these things can affect you when you already have a job and are looking for another. It also turns out that you

I have undergrad degrees in EE and physics. There is barely any similarities besides a class or two in electrodynamics. I even went a step further with how involved with physics I was during the EE degree and specialized in RF; hardly any o

The statement wasn't on greatness. The statement was on "never good." I think the programming community largely agrees that indenting is good. If something is forcing you to do something that is good, then it definitely doesn

My physician told me that under no circumstances should I be getting my vitamin D from the sun as skin cancer was not worth it; she instead recommended I get it from my diet.

This kind of crap has been around long before people started caring about how marginalized people feel. Look no further than obscenity laws which have been in place a lot longer than this wave of empathy.
