The crazy part is that just looking at how people behave on Reddit and HN, I could easily see adults with the same outcome as Lord of the Flies.

It also could be that children are mostly posting, however (since there is no age verification, it's hard to tell these days).

Is there proof they are cutting wages? If not, this is just hyperbole to stir up anger and clicks.

Hopefully, there will be as many complaints about this (which will increase the cost of everything) as the Tariffs Trump imposed.

The GPDR makes it so small companies need to hire expensive lawyers to be compliant (and you still don't know for sure, based on the laws)

How about fining individual developers with poor coding practices?

It doesn't make you a bad developer, it just stops novel and innovative ways of doing something, because the cheaper way is to just use what's free.

This is the future of code.

I know plenty of 50-something developers out of work because they stuck to their old ways and the tech world left them behind.

I now just use Linux in the WSL. I get Linux with a superior GUI.

"2025-12-09: Freedom Chat notifies us issues have been patched"

It's on the site. and If you don't think I'm in the security industry, LOL

If they are only taxed at an effective rate of 3%, there is something being taxed.

I don't think people should be able to vote on massive tax increase laws, if it doesn't also increase their own taxes in some way.

Would you also be open to paying taxes in your 401k yearly based on unrealized gains?

Most companies aren't going to help their competitor. Bad actions from candidates have consequences.

It's telling when you jump to 'ilegal behavor' yet think acting like a total unprofessional asshole by wasting everyone's time with a company doing the right thing, is totally acceptable.

I would never ghost a company or a candidate and expect other people to have the same courtesy.

It also shows that bias is perfectly acceptable against groups you dislike (companies you think are all acting the same, so they all somehow deserve the same shitty behavior) yet unacceptable to a group you support.

When they apply a few years later, they will be. Burning bridges never works out in the long run.

Not really. They can easily try to apply for the same job (or a different position) Months later.

I seriously doubt you have any say in hiring anywhere. Nobody actually hiring would respond like this.

..and retraining? Lol

Candidates that are a no show after many interviews should definitely be blacklisted for a set amount of time.

The USPS, for instance, will blacklist you for 5 years for this behavior.

The sad part is that over-regulation and taxes have put us in this situation, but the same politicans keep getting voted in, time and time again.

"maybe people will have less incentives to ghost you. The Ferrari treatment still exists, you just need to pay for it."

No need. I just find more capable and reliable older workers.

Most people I know in different industries are doing the same

When companies aren't doing well either, demanding more money will only result in bankrupt companies and out sourcing.

It's probably the worst time to do it.

I've only seen unions work well in the long-run with government jobs. The USPS is a good example. Mostly because you really can't fire the workers and the main entity won't ever go out of business because of government bailouts.

I worked at a startup where the original code base was outsourced to cheap developers and was riddled with security vulnerabilities.

A complete rewrite made sense.

The affordable care act doubled most people's insurance over night (This happened to me and almost everyone I know). Nobody wants to mention this, because it makes their side look bad.

Until we can admit where there are problems, there will never be a solution.

You only care because it's Trump. Before Musk took over Twitter, the US government was not only censoring American citizens by colluding with all of the major social media companies, but allowing foreign dictators to censor their own citizens abroad.

I'm really tired when the online community completely ignores atrocities because they don't ever want to make their own side look bad, but talk about the end of the world when it's someone they don't like.

You mean like the war on drugs?

"joke and manipulating them is a common plot theme"

Much more difficult to manipulate a bunch of jurors than pay off one judge. This is why it's mostly in the movies.

"Most of Europe and India for instance."

India is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Scammers with lots of money running call centers and diploma mills regularly get off completely by paying off judges.

Having judges only does make me feel better. I can just pay them off when I don't want to go to jail.

They are getting paid an average of 42 hoursba week. The vast majority of people I know (especially in tech) are actually working less hours than this.

I've been approached by a few companies to train their models to basically replace me. Why would I want to do this?

This could happen with anything when someone has a mental illness. Should anything triggering also get banned?

People think Trump is a 'fascist'? If the US loses as a global power, they see the true meaning of the word.

Autism is over diagnosed, because you get government money as a doctor and a patient.

My niece has a disibility that they haven't really been able to diagnose.

If it is Autism, there is all kinds of free care available.

Usually when you follow the money, you get answers.

"What do you propose to keep topical forums on topic? There's plenty of forums where pure capitalist sentiment is allowed or encouraged."

/r/antiwork is just an example. Much more general forums are moderated, without the average user knowing the difference. The end result is election interference (like when Google de-platforms and removes search results for candidates it doesn't like) and big tech shaping politics and general opinions, on a massive scale.

Until this practice stops, I have no problem banning Fact checkers and content moderators from the country.

"I demand to be able to share porn on HackerNews. Moderators who delete my content are censoring me and contributing to the increase in violence and radical behavior!"

I suppose you are fine with the religious right deciding what books kids should learn in school? You would be the first person to complain about it. How about we ban anyone that says something negative about president Trump?

Squashing any opposing political views is dangerous in a country that claims to to have Democratic elections and freedoms. It amounts to election interference on a massive scale.

To be honest, I see so many people that have your attitude, I have no issue with someone in power censoring any opposing views to the government, just so you get a taste of your own medicine.

Once they start integrating paid results, it will be the next Google. To the average person, AI will be a smarter search engine, which is why there is a race to be first (and Google is scared).

It's already starting to be used in many tech-based roles, like software development and marketing. It's not perfect, but I've saved hours using some form of AI in my current role.
