But in terms of real dollars would total compensation go up? How would this even work? Isn’t this just moving around the chairs on the deck of the Titanic?

Isn’t that what your salary does? Are these people children yearning for the days of the company store and company towns?

This is a really naive take. I tried literally what you’re advocating. And what happened was some busybody lady in my neighborhood kept calling CPS when my daughter would walk to play at a friend’s houses down the block. When I was her age

Nobody is conspiring to “keep this under wraps” so it can’t be a conspiracy theory. A conspiracy requires people who have some hidden knowledge and are keeping it secret?

Because when you try to throw junior developers at it who had OO concepts in Python, Java, or C# drilled into them in college, switching to Elixir/Erlang feels like learning Martian. I had the fun experience of it being the second lang

It’s definitely treading new ground here. Every time I see something about Neuralink and the immense amount of advancements in AI, I’m bullish that one day my daughter, who is five now and in a wheelchair, will be able to walk one day becau

What? I used the word “slop” when I was a kid to describe feed for pigs on the farm in the early 90s. You’re definitely wrong on this one.

We use PLEX for long trips in the car for the kids. Like 24 hour drives. We drive to Florida in the winter and the iPads easily run out of space after we’ve downloaded a season or two of Adventure Time and Daniel Tiger. I could fit more if

As other people have said, I think auto makers are learning the error of their ways. I just bought a 2024 Toyota Sequoia last week, and love that basically every control has a button! There’s some infotainment stuff but that works with voic

Ironic that the street is named Pandora, as it seems BC opened just that box.

Okay but really now, how am I supposed to pay for $250,000 a year to my software engineers in San Francisco with that kind of attitude? Someone has to pay to lease those beautiful downtown SF offices!

As we all know, the true minimum wage is $0, as if a job isn’t viable and can’t make a profit it simply no longer exists. Maybe we’ll settle on deciding food delivery shouldn’t exist. I was between jobs and DoorDash was a joy to work, I’d j

Anecdotal but I’ve had the same -1.5 prescription since I was diagnosed with nearsightedness at 12. I’m 37 now, so 25 years of the same rx, I’d say that’s pretty consistent.

I'm a software engineer at a large construction company and find my work deeply meaningful. We make sure people building actual stuff stay safe with our tools, and work more efficiently. It's so cool to see mind blowing, tangible

Edit: I’m not sure if I’m actually using Meta AI? I’m using Facebook messenger and hit the Meta AI logo and had a conversation with some sort of LLM. Maybe it’s an older version? I just tried this on Facebook messenger. I asked it to genera

I tried it last year. Went great the first four months, but as the dose increased I found myself having vaguely suicidal thoughts and rumination. I have no history of that kind of thing. I also realized I was having a full blown panic attac

I got one as a welcome gift for work and my wife ended up smashing it with a hammer because it gave our seven year old unrestricted access to YouTube. She pulled it out of the garbage twice and hid it from us. Thing is durable, she couldn’t

I don't know, when Nico gets excited about a project, I suspect it's genuine. It's part of why I watch the channel. His employees, (Wren especially), give off a silly fake enthusiasm vibe (or maybe he's just like that, a

I think it’s just who you’re around when you’re hitting puberty, if I’m being honest. My school was pretty diverse mix of black and white, and a lot of my high school classmates got married to each other and are interracial couples. So send

I believe RIP Medical Debt ARE the “collection agency”. They buy the medical debt for cents on the dollar from the hospital, then cancel it out.

My uncle didn’t have insurance for a house he’d paid off. An arsonist burned it down six months later and then he proceeded to get letters from the city telling him to mow his lawn for the next ten years.

I use Walmart pay with their app. But then again we’ve totally given up buying off Amazon and do grocery pickup or delivery from Walmart. For 90% of items this is faster than we’d get it from Amazon.

With Atlus games you can just emulate it for switch better than it runs on the original console.

I was going to say Lies of P was cracked, but turns out they just removed it from their game. It was up on piracy sites the same day. I wonder why this happens? Does Denuvo cost a lot of ongoing subscription money for a developer or someth

I know where I could get several hundred terabytes (maybe an exabyte? It’s constantly growing) of ultra high quality STL files designed for 3D printing. I just don’t have the storage or the knowledge of how to turn those into a model that o

My guess is the titles get auto adjusted by Hacker News, but the script that does it doesn’t have logic for a trillion and only goes up to a billion, hence the weirdness of a string match and replace

I convinced my very broke single mom to get a webtv when I was 10 or so. We didn’t have a PC. It was magical, and pushed that thing as far as I could with playing weird browser based multiplayer games and chat rooms and all sorts of stuff.
