You can prove me wrong by actually arguing/answering the questions I had but instead you fell into Tu quoque...don't think this is how a healthy argument should be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque &gt

I work in finance and am sorry but you don't sound like a legit investor if you measure the effectiveness of your capital towards startups by work hours. What about their revenue models, plans for growth, talent structure and market ni

Nope, this is not true (from someone I know who's working at Bloomberg).

The keyword is "voluntary". Alibaba doesn't have this problem but many other companies do. The fact anti-996 has gained tons of attention makes me doubt it's just an immature movement started by a couple of crybabies.

I actually read Jack Ma's initial memo on this matter in Chinese. His stance was pretty clear that he endorses 996. He later "clarified" that he disagrees with this sentiment after people became enraged by his words.

These two assumptions don't really contribute to the whole 996 discussion. Plus for many people, at certain stage, family/relationship/life/health becomes much more important than making millions.

corrected. Thanks.

Jack Ma's comment on this matter is full of logical fallacy. Forcing employees to stick to the 996 schedule with no overtime pay is not equivalent to someone finding their own passion and work restless towards their own goal. He someho

thanks for sharing. My own "prestigious" alma mater has been involved in the scandal and I'm really worried the kind of message it sends to younger generations...that money can move mountains and hard-work does not matter...

Google's profit is driven primarily by ads. The old web is no longer the primary target for Google. Companies like this should probably stop pretending they are non-profit charity or labeling themselves as enablers of a 'better wo

A step in the right direction but hope universities could undo some damage by admitting students who were previously rejected/waitlisted because they were not "qualified" (ironically). Systematic cheating has always been ther

long hours != work hard so sad people in that forum even don't realize it and are so proud of their so-called "hard work" while getting exploited by their employers.

I work in finance and all I can say is it's not sustainable and not definitely something anyone should be proud of. Literally no one benefits from such long work hour, not even the company itself.

This reminds me of a defcon talk by Chris Rock about how to overthrow a government. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1lhGqNCZlA

It is indeed growing as a high-performance computation-focused language, but not to the scale of Python yet.

In quant finance space, Python has been gradually taking over matlab/sas for signal/model implementation.

I've used Qt developing various data-heavy apps for financial research at work and agree that making this comparison is rather inappropriate. For people who are not familiar with JSX this is not any better than the Qt syntax. This woul

I have a Daydream VR headset from Google and these two are a lot like design-wise. Competition on comfort design could be a good thing in my opinion.

ha, this reminds me of once I left my badge at home and snuck into my office from the mailroom entrance instead of the actual front-door entrance with badge scanners and security guards.

You are making assumptions. How do you know what powers or will power the surveillance system in China? Also, mass surveillance will always be there regardless of forms of energy it is on, hence the weak correlation.
23.
by stuffedBelly 8y ago
I am all for witty sarcasm, but this one doesn't add much value to the discussion given weak correlation between mass surveillance and renewable energy.
24.
by stuffedBelly 8y ago
This is a bit far-fetched. Not everything China does is for mass surveillance...this could simply be the Chinese government had a taste of how bad Beijing's air quality is and decided to push harder towards renewable energy.

There is going to be repercussion. The Chinese government starts to treat Christianity as a cult like Falun Gong, to which it used the same tactic. But unlike Falun Gong, which is more of a home-brew quasi religion from the 90s, Christianit

How to retaliate against someone you dislike while they are applying to travel/study in the US? Launch a smear campaign against him/her on social media. Super effective.

I'd say the company might still be there but pivoting of core business will likely happen. Lots of companies survive this way, especially when they cover multiple business fields.

keep in mind that 57% does not mean 57% are on H1B. This dataset does not show the percentage of permanent residents.
