Why would pharma not want legalization? At worst, it doesn't affect them. At best, it's another revenue stream.

I worked in undergrad as a research assistant in an astrophysics simulation project and was involved in some of the numerical programming. I found the work very interesting and intellectually rewarding. Unfortunately, IME, the effort vs fin

This debate has been had millions of times. These questions test for some mixture of (1) IQ, (2) communication abilities, (3) willingness to put in the time, and (4) ability to learn. Traditional interviews which discuss candidate experienc

Google has a bank of vetted questions that can be asked during interviews. It's obviously against company policy to share this information, just like it is against internal policy to share any other private, internal information.

Don't trash talk your current employer while looking for a new job. It's a bad look.

If everything that CodeWithHarry says is true, then I don't see how it's his fault. Also, this doesn't seem like a big deal. Just ignore the spammy emails for a while and close the pull requests.

Because your work is owned by Spotify and they can do what they want with it. Yes, it's well within your rights to form one of these internal activist groups that attempts to sway company policy by loud-mouthing your employer, but it&#

The article makes it clear that this is a group that does not have leadership backing. I very much doubt this internal group of staffers is attempting to push back against leadership due to business concerns. This is definitely political. A

Joe Rogan is not new, and is only "edgy" to the type of people that can be cut by a pillow.

Why do so many tech employees feel that they're entitled to be arbiters of morality? Tech companies should have the backbone to fire every annoying internal activist group that tries to sabotage their efforts.

The level of police corruption is much, much higher in many other countries. Why are you singling the US out?

Surely the tech-minded folks of HN understand that this doesn't actually occur under any reasonable definition of "active." This article is a clear example of how the media twists reality due to their lack of understanding an

We've gotten to the point in US culture where many view it as sexist or racist to rally against affirmative action policies that are blatantly sexist and racist.

It's not 100% about money for the employer, either. Human emotions are real and managers aren't just blindly following game theory.

I regularly see promotion and defense of rioting, anti-white racism, and threats of violence from Twitter. Hell, I'll never forget all of the blue check marks saying they wanted to punch that high school Covington kid for literally sta

Considering they're likely to defund police budget by 50%, I'd say that's very wrong.

They did mention his death, they just didn't mention it was CHOP security that murdered him, or the video evidence of the execution ("Oh you're still alive?" followed by a gunshot), or the fact that he was black (ironica

Before COVID, I was in the office about 35 hours a week and had about 10 productive WFH hours in the evenings. Since perma-WFH, I "work" for maybe 65 hours and get at most 15 hours of actual work done.

I'm intrigued by the idea but I have some reservations: 1.) How likely is this to actually happen? Are there any talks with nations for purchasing land? How many members would actually uproot their entire lives to go live in this exper

I don't think the claim is that social media is inherently leftist, but rather than leftists have mounted attacks on all social media companies that don't actively censor right-wing opinions (see current ad boycott targeted at Fac

Have you used reddit at all within the past 10 years? Yeah, there's some smaller subreddits that have right-wing views, but every frontpage sub leans heavily left. For example, the most common political debate right now isn't Bide

The bar for the tech work activists to not consider a company "evil" is impossible high. It seems like any attempt to actually operate like a business (and actually.. you know.. make money?) is met with open hostility. I really do

You're attempting to shame and villainize people that disagree with the movement, and trying to justify that using meaningless buzzwords like "solidarity". Why should the strikers not show solidarity with the non-strikers by

Do you really need to call strike breakers "scabs"? It seems excessive to demonize workers that need job security / don't believe in unions / etc.

It's obviously bad PR to deny their claims right now, but I can't imagine this working. Sets a precedent that Amazon will go to great lengths to not set.

I imagine something like "number of items" or "number of bags" or "total weight/volume of order" is an input into the default tip formula. Which makes sense, as the quantity is what actually matters to the

Quite frankly, I think Epic Systems realizes it can't compete with Facebook. But the value is much better in comparison to many non-FAANG Bay Area companies. I was actually in a similar situation, where Capital One offered 90K for Rich

It seems like a low value proposition if their most enticing feature is the ability to view Google results. Moreover, if Google added a "!d" command to show DuckDuckGo results, I can't imagine anyone would use it. A negligibl
