> tend to chase off anyone who makes it to the age of 35 That's definitely not true anymore, if it ever was. Senior/staff level engs with 20+ years of experience are sought after and paid a ton of money.

Yeah. Simon Marlow also left MSR years ago, for Facebook.

There was a dip in bathing and bath houses in the 16-17th century due to fear of disease. Lots of aristocrats are well-known for avoiding bathing in that period. Louis XIV is famous for it.

Also feared by Europeans around the same time: bathing.

Bizarre move. AFAIK he does whatever he wants at MSR. Maybe he's sick of that environment's politics; maybe he's sick of academic research/the ICFP crowd and wants to work on "real world" stuff. I can't im

This could be named “Things to say to defuse the overeducated clueless self-entitled newb who is toxically ramming his lame ideas into the team” :-)

They take offense because the OP implies that all offshore teams are shitty. "Transylvania" was used as catch-all term for "some other country".

Targeting Transylvania as a home of shitty offshore teams is in poor taste.

Profiting off the apocalypse is exactly what’s happening in the fossil fuel-based industries isn’t it? It may not look like the apocalypse until the last minute.

As long as we’ve figured out nuclear waste management, it’s pretty straightforward. Unfortunately nuclear too is a political issue.

Thanks, and thanks for the linked newsletter. I’ll read it. I’m curious to learn how the current situation compares to the 80s when rates were pushed to 15% to stop inflation.

Curious, why do you think it’s difficult to raise interest rates when debt is high?

by shrimpx 5y ago
The us did it in the late 80s. 15% interest rates!

Since the beginning of computer time people have been working on structure editing, because academically it's very compelling, yet in practice text wins out over and over. That said, there's probably a lot of opportunity to have &

Btw I’ve seen the “advice” part faceplant terribly, where the interviewer is pompously trying to “unstick” the interviewee but it turns out the interviewee already understands the problem in a deeper sense than the interviewer and the inter

Yeah. The M1 Air is also fanless and thinner and lighter. The prospect of fan noise in particular is a turnoff.

I have a bunch of questions about the notch: - When you go "fullscreen", does the fullscreen window stop at the bottom of the notch, or like can you see the notch in maximized Netflix videos? In the keynote I thought I saw a maxim

I’ve experienced people borrowing behavioral tics and tendencies from each other. I personally think there’s something about tics that’s easily transmissible. It’s almost like people are overly compelled to repeat/assimilate those beha

Not defending Facebook but shareholders aren’t exempt from abiding by ToS.

Are you saying that people on teamblind are only focusing on the TC aspect, and also care about many other things, or that only a subset of people only care about TC? If the latter, it’s still worrisome that so many of those people who hop

I agree, thanks for the clarification. I shouldn’t have been as brutal in my initial portrayal.

I now actively avoid signing up for services unless I really really need to, just to avoid this mess. These shady deletion practices effectively kill new signups — in my case, at least.

When Ive bungled the laptop line with the butterfly keyboards, I feel like somebody must have said "this is shit" and hence his departure and release of better hardware since.

Nah, he's really smart, but implying 1T is a measure of his genius is ridiculous. Not only does it downplay the massive contributions of hundreds of people including Peter Thiel and Cheryl Sandberg, but it ignores the market conditions

What I hear from Zuckerberg over and over is "we're good people and working on it, look at A and B things we're doing" with an implication that that's good enough, so what's everybody up in arms about? That&#x2

Your sentiment reflects what I see on teamblind.com. It's all TC and leveling up. A ton of people don't give much of a shit about the subject matter.

> What makes you so sure that these two things are necessarily related? In short, I take these people's word for it because I see no reason to doubt it, just like any non-enlightened person takes the word of Buddha or Buddhist monks
