As per the below poll, some people do care, but yes not the overwhelming majority. https://morningconsult.com/2021/02/25/space-force-travel-exp...

Somehow, I don't think pretty pictures are going to sway public opinion all that much. Maybe its a generational thing? From what I found online after a quick search: https://morningconsult.com/2021/02/25/

>Firstly noone has mentioned anything about wastage within the Firefox project - this thread is about Mozilla as a whole, not just Firefox. Not sure what point you're "coming back to" specifically. I was responding to this

Coming back to the point being discussed - Where exactly does wastage occur inside Firefox's development team? Specifics and data are very persuasive!

Reading your post, I think for you - consider working only for a paycheck, rather than wanting to work for nebulous concepts such as 'good work', 'passion', 'fun', etc. Work a 9-5, go home and enjoy your time o

Why are you making this about 'simping for Musk'? It doesn't matter if someone was predicting it. Most people making most predictions are wrong. Also, things don't happen because someone predicted it. https://

The word benefit here was in the larger social context. I believe that privacy is a legal right, and so I see the issue a bit differently. You're implying the data can be misused, my point is the data should not be collected to begin w

There is no positive benefit of technology created to spy on people online. We have seen social media bubbles that arise due to algorithmically driven content discovery/suggestions. As such, there is no inherent superiority to laws tha

The incentive to not work at a company that makes spying tech is already there. It needs to be highlighted at every opportunity.

The design of devices which end up in land-fills by the millions, should focus on the environment, not some minuscule performance benefit. I wouldn't defend a design that increases e-waste, but to each his own.

Smartest engineers have an abundance of choice as to where they can work. There needs to be a stigma where working on spying tech is frowned upon. >Trying to convince workers or companies to stop earning money has never worked well. I ne

Aesthetics and design is not as important as the environment and reducing e-waste.

Very much like a soldier refusing to execute immoral orders, we need the smartest engineers working at these companies to stop implementing such features. As it stands, engineers working in big tech are often celebrated on platforms like HN

For several reasons, but basically I was burned out, and wanted a new challenge. Working in biotech manufacturing was also a way to make something that helps people.

I'm one of those that switched from tech into an industry that is steeped in bureaucracy, secrecy, red-tape, and whatever other term you can find. It's been about 10 years, but I occasionally lurk on HN to see people in tech are u

People complain about industries with bureaucracy but nobody wants to take the hit and actually work in those industries. They want magically for their pay/benefits/culture incentives to align.

By the time the process gets to our team, it is established and stable. Our team is not at liberty to tinker with the process in any way. To put it another way, if there is a high variability in the process, it won't get to the manufac

I deal with C-level folks on a daily basis, and if you come to them with problems, its not always clear to them what you want them to do about it. They are not going to be intimately familiar with everything. It's only human nature. Be

I am not aware of any research that is addressing heterogeneity issues in a general way. (Caveat: Not a formally trained scientist, I work in manufacturing) One of the products we manufacture is a protein that is expressed by an organism t

Biology is not deterministic in the same way as traditional manufacturing is. Given the same input, repeating a biological process does not always produce identical results. When you body makes mistakes, it has other systems and pathways to

This isn't a black/white issue. How about we let each person evaluate it for themselves? I find this feature useful, but if I were a sysadmin, I'd probably block it. Not because I don't trust MS, but just that it opens u

There is no way to do the experiment in an alternative universe, so everyone's opinion is equally valid. But nothing is permanent - covid or no-covid, and so no country will remain the worlds manufacturing hub forever.

I'm curious to see if such lawsuits have succeeded in the past - in similar situations.
