Excuse me? Of course! Do people get to declare their name and pronoun?

Yeah, sure. Maybe you could rewrite it in assembler over the weekend and run it on a Raspberry Pi, right? I worked on Java codebases that absolutely squeezed every bit of performance from a machine and that would be very hard to do in other

I guess LinkedIn delivers for you. Since I work entirely remote my (previous) team is already distributed. But LinkedIn itself has basically little support for this scenario. I noticed that although my previous startup was in SV they starte

You can probably find a local job on LinkedIn but nothing decent remote. I found my best remote job due to an announcement right here on HN. My 2nd best (and longest running) due to some open source involvement. LinkedIn has been terrible i

The study seems to limit itself to 3 months which is basically a vacation. I'm curious if those adolescents think after a year that their quality of life is better.

People on HN probably understand inflation very well but have portfolios that are not impacted by it. If anything, the past 2 years have shown great stock gains. It's hard for a person to understand a solution when its fortune depends

If this ends the Eternal September we have in crypto it would be awesome. Crypto has too much marketing and eyes on it nowadays. It wouldn't hurt to turn in down a notch and keep working on it.

Assuming humans are somewhat rational it must produce something! At its worse interpretation it could be a casino. Humanity does a whole lot of wasteful things. Should we ban music, too? Parks perhaps? Switch to plain clothing? In other wor

Biggest mistake EVER. The Apache Foundation DOES NOT redistribute any money to actual contributors. All money donated to Apache gets spend on their own infrastructure and salaries, etc.

Job interviews are like this too. Nothing as vetted as somebody from a FAANG!

I could have sworn there was a very popular movie by that name released within the copyright window. Yep: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103874/ But, sure, I guess Dracula is wide open for re-registration in a whol

by xunn0026 5y ago
OMG. This is even worse. Since there was no trademark for your sector on the super-popular title Dracula you jumped right in and trademarked it for your use?? So the future of expiring trademarks and copyrights is people rushing in to re-re

There's no way Dracula is not copyrighted. What next, StarWars theme?

OPEX is just an expense in the current fiscal year. CAPEX depreciates over N years. This alone means that a one-time payment is much simpler on the books. I don't think your salary counts as CAPEX, it's a normal monthly expense fo

This is just an ad for the startup. It literally doesn't tell you want the thing does. But FB / Google uses it so it must be perfect.

Generally those are the places that are doing so well there is no good place to work and earn money. Which is why everybody young is running away and prefers doing everything else. So, any good job would also have to be imported somehow.

Obviously they don't really need just new blood. They need some new money too!

This reads like dealing with a hardware compromised machine. At some point, why even bother?

It would be an absolute disaster if people would stick to their dead-end side projects for 10 years before calling it quits.

The higher the org the lower the chances they would accept such an arrangement. Some allow remote work but expect you to be an employee which becomes impossible if you are from a country where they have no base so they can't legally hi

Does this seem... reasonable? Citizens aren't allowed to leave unless they have 'compelling reasons' and provide evidence. People used to escape communism for such reasons.

Nope: > If you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident you cannot leave Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions unless you have an exemption.

Of course, nowadays Australia won't even let people physically leave at all!

Excuse me? The post is a non-apology. It starts with a minor PR while in fact it turns out to be about the whole organizational structure which was a surprise to people that joined it?! This is a fundamental problem, not a minor PR and

> more people aren't concerned about it I think a lot of people are concerned about it. And I'd further say for a segment of population this also triggers vaccine hesitancy.
