I know a site like this can never be accurate, but the non-tech company I work for had a significant reduction in tech workers and isn't on the list. I really think that sound count.

Anyone could have reasonably foreseen interest rate increases from historic lows, but of course company leaders got greedy and now those under them have to suffer for it.

This is all true, but acknowledging the harms caused to lives by layoffs is unpopular with the bootlicking type that's so prominent on HN.

People are right to want to see real, impactful consequences for leaders who "take full responsibility" because if they in fact are taking it, they're taking responsibility the bad choices and mismanagement that lead to the layoffs and the consequences of said layoffs.

People are tired of leadership huffing their own farts, posting a teary eyed message, and continuing their lives like nothing ever happened.

If I fucked up and had an adverse effect on hundreds, possibly thousands of lives tomorrow I'd be fired on the spot, rightfully so too.

> Unemployment is also the largest contributer to male suicide in the entire world.

Imagine how many people have already tried, or succeeded as a direct result of layoffs in the last year as a direct consequence of mass layoffs. It's sickening to think about.

> At the end of the day, you still don't have the phone whether the thief profits from it or not.

I care a lot about some low life scumbag not profiting from it. Anything that discourages theft is great.

> Termination is a favor

Losing your job is never a favour. Would you prefer termination if any issue was found with your work place?

> Winters are brutal and quite depressing. All sorts of blood leaching insects in summer. Some people have alergies to clouds of pollen..

Honestly sounds like most Canadian cities I'm familiar with, particularly Winnipeg.

> And Russian administration was challenging even before the war.

Yah that I don't know if I could put up with that.

> Magnitogorsk has nice weather in summer. Some green parks, decent public transport. But not that much fun, westerners usually prefer university cities. It has very nice surrounding nature.

Sounds like a lot of western cities honestly. Most are okay places to live, but not exactly happening, overly fun places.

I'll be honest I expected a lot worse when looking on street view, but I looked around a bunch of places and was like "I could live here".

> There is 2.5 hours walk through on youtube: "Magnitogorsk, Russia. Metallurgic Capital and Steel Heart of Russia. Ural Trip 1".

I'll take a look.

> I thought it had already been shown that the only healthy amount of alcohol is zero

It has been, but asking people to completely refrain from alcohol is basically a non-starter for a huge part of the population.

An areal photo during the winter isn't very fair to the city. Looking around on street view during the summer months it doesn't look nearly as bad. A bit run down, but that's common for nearly all ex-soviet cities.

I can get 8gbps symmetrical in Toronto.

> Go ahead and legislate it, in a free economy world your country is fucked, and stupid, if they do.

This is a tired argument that has been repeated every time almost any regulation has been proposed let alone implemented.

We could be more economically competitive with the world if we had no holidays and worked 13 hour days too.

Most of the big AI models aren't open source and even if they were? You can absolutely regulate them.

> The horse is out of the barn already, deal with it.

Like leaded gas, the government can make regulations to deal with anything should they choose to.

Why do you think it's okay for massive companies to freely profit off the work of others?

One a thief always a thief, there's a reason it was punished so severely throughout history.

Theft has the highest recidivism rate too[1]. You can never trust someone who has stolen again, thieves are the scum of the earth and only hurt good people.

Stick a piece of photo sensitive paper in a pinhole camera and you're good to go.

People typically make them out of black film canisters and such. Google "solargraph"

> USB power adapter I can buy

Until your house burn downs or it destroys your phone. Minimum enforced standards are a good thing because the vast majority of consumers are not capable of evaluating the safety and compatibility of devices.

You can't just trust the seller or people you know about a power supply (in this example) being safe.

Please, I'm not in the right class nor do I have the right family to get such a position.

Are you a C-level exec? It's strange to me when working class people defend them.

Google Image search has been hopeless for a long time now, you'll get better results typically on Yandex or Bing to the point I won't use Google for images.

> They don't have to, the fandom will do it for free.

See Elon Musk about 4-5 years ago. It was impossible to criticize the man or his projects without getting dogpiled.

Mods will ban them and new users will be forced to verify via voice/video chat/livestream.

Overpaid parasites in a lot of cases.

You're missing his point entirely. People are trying to make flying out as getting more dangerous, but that's factually incorrect.

It's interesting to see how the DC-10 would have been treated in modern times with social media and mass (moreso) communication.

I've flown on Maxes and will continue to do so, even with the problems they've faced a flight on one is still far safer than many I things I do every day.

I'm waiting for it too and I know more cuts are coming that could impact me. The stress is really bad for me right now and I was already stressed before.

I am absolutely not convinced that if I lose my job I can easily get another one that pays as well, which is saying something because my wage is pathetic compared to most people on HN.

Indeed. Cheer on the tech if you like, but don't be surprised when you're out of work for the foreseeable future next.

Well if we’re having a contest for posting long movies, Siberiade is an excellent film that will take 4h35m of your time.

> I'm convinced this is happening. I notice it regularly

So am I and no oce at this point can convince me otherwise, it's the singular "conspiracy" I believe.

The amount of times I've had the same thing happen is staggering to the point I can't dismiss it as a mere coincidence anymore.

There remains a fairly good chance that Voyager will be the last surviving thing in the universe made by humans. It may not be our pinnacle, but it might be our legacy.

I lived on an island (not in the pacific) where billboards are completely banned, the height of business signs is limited, and where very, very few public places had any advertisements, even in the "city".

It was wonderful and it's one thing I really miss.

Remember it about anything you’re excited by. The pursuit of the almighty dollar dilutes and ruins everything over time.
