Looks like humanity will squarely end up in reactive mode
1minusp··on Ask HN: How do you deal with rude interviewers?
Wish i had had the presence of mind to pause and do the same in a recent interview (where despite 'pushing back' against a counter comment, the interviewer insisted that I didnt 'push back' enough). I retrospect, i had asked a couple of probing questions in an earlier interview about his funding for the initiatives he had proposed, and he might not have taken kindly to those questions (unjustifiably, i feel). Another git on the panel yawned in my face halfway thru a 45 minute interview. I've been in more than one interview situation where the interviewer seems tired out, hasnt had a good nights sleep etc. Comes across incredibly rude.
1minusp··on Apple employees criticize work-from-home policy in open letter
The watercooler comment resonates: i keep hearing it as justification to be back in-person and even in cases where i feel i've ha da productive watercooler conversation, it has very rarely resulted in anything crucial or important emerge from it. Businesses have problems that need solving (using technology): it is unlikely that the problem is identified at a watercooler (or other metaphorical equivalents) or the solution is identified in a one hour in-person meeting. One might 'feel' that the outcome from the quickly made decision in the 1-hr meeting was useful, but thats questionable too.
1minusp··on The bottom is dropping out of Netflix
Ah finally a mention for Altered Carbon! Loved the first season, and felt like they wrapped it up on the cheap the second season.
1minusp··on The bottom is dropping out of Netflix
This exactly. Across a LOT of their anime, crime drama espcially (in my limited view, probably applies to other genres as well), I feel they have this minor variation on a theme, sort of algorithmically built, almost. Everytime i watch some new series i get this "wait a minute..." feeling. I occasionally find new stuff to watch that is interesting (of late, noir crime drama shows on Prime) but those also have the same ingredients. A lot of those are not prime original anyway. That original content seems rare.
1minusp··on Zapier: A $5B Unbundling Opportunity
How is this different than workflow automation (for non-developers) solutions? Or is the takeaway that any workflow automation is ripe for unbundling?
1minusp··on Real World Recommendation System
Also, how is this article different or more informative compared to others that deal with the challenges of model deployment/management at scale?
1minusp··on Norway bans gas cars in 2025 but trends point toward 100%EV sales as early April
How is Norway dealing with the resulting increase in electric demand, charging at peak times etc? Have there been investments in ripping/replacing distribution and transmission to account for increased demand?

Clickbait-y title aside (other comments were pretty helpful to point this out), this sounds pretty positive.

1minusp··on Pavel Durov: Most studies show humanity is now less free than several years ago
Isnt it strange that the opinion itself is a a bunch of bits that are keeping yet another sub-population of people glued to their screens, unlikely to take action anyway?
1minusp··on Mental health impacts of a big tech job
A lot of this rings true. But I also can’t help but think (I’m not FAANG), given the kind of pay at these companies couldn’t or shouldn’t one treat these gigs like 3-4 year tour of duty, and have enough to go away and refresh for a couple of years (with a ton socked away for nest egg/ retirement?)
