Because (a) by the rules of engagement, management is not required to share original feedback, and (b) the original feedback could be used to identify the sources. In this case, there might have been a real risk to the sources given the ind

To clarify, the first paragraph of defertoreotar@'s comment is a quote from Timnit Gebru's tweet where she admits to recently conspiring a legal battle against Google, while on Google's payroll. A wolf in sheep's clothin

She has been advancing her agenda for a while by strategically picking fights, and winning them because she's been on the right side of a political wave and knew how to ride it. Then she got blinded by her own success and overplayed he

People are moving out the city (or getting second homes) - that is exactly the trend you are seeing. The urbanization tide has reversed. For how long? Who knows...

Very well articulated, thank you!

Re: YouTube video you linked below. The table shown by that Dr in the first few minutes was enough to discredit her (claiming Covid-19 is not transmitted by air, only kills 80+ year olds, etc.) All falsehoods.

Is there a fund that is better than 5x in aggregate? Everybody flaunts their unicorns, but at the end, those bets are balanced by many more losing bets...

Technical aspects aside, this post is in a really bad taste. Next time you're itching to show off your chops, maybe pick a project that does not involve airbrushing people somehow deemed unworthy of being remembered, based on their loo

The demo looks neat, but the idea is not new. How does it compare to competition.

So bigger teams have a higher chance of success? Who would have thought of that!?

Please do share your story! We need to understand your situation first. I'd suggest a separate post but also link it here.

For a company whose product never took off, the valuation is puzzling. Sure, they had some big name investors, but is this how the supposedly meritocratic tech sector makes decisions: based on clout and connections? Same old school thinking

This is another variation of the Turing test. Time to realize: the Turing test is useless because: (a)the goal is to game the jury and (b) humans don't necessarily make sense either (example: bad or even just confusing poetry) so the

Is it not easier to just ignore or block people you'd rather not chat with? Why deceive them? Isn't it kind of immoral?

Gotta love hacker news: I think I just lost half my karma points near me for asking a question, suggesting that maybe, just maybe we shouldn't rush to judge people so negatively. Haters gonna hate...

Kudos for sharing an honest story about failure. We need those too.
