deprecative

The US isn't much better. We're also below the replacement rate. We're just not as xenophobic with our immigration. Which is saying something.

I am not sure. It's not a present reality, though.

If you're ugly you're not getting matches anyway. It does nothing for ugly people. At the end of the day a person has to be attractive to some positive degree in order to find a partner.

That's clearly not what they meant. Don't be needlessly pedantic.

No, that's socialist. We should give them more money because they few actually pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps. They're simply better than we are in every way.

It would but we have no means of doing this at the moment.

How do you "list it as a requirement"? This seems like a great way to get offers pulled or not extended. Happy to find out what magic you know.

11 YoE. No place more than 3 years. Employers aren't worth more than that. I get a job just to take pay cuts every year and then have surprise on call dropped on me four months in. If an employer will reward loyalty I'll stay. None that I have ever heard of do. I leave. Maybe that's a me problem. Maybe I need to learn to deal with being happy to be disrespected.

For me it's simple. I don't accept working through pay cuts and raises aren't enough to overcome inflation thus I get pay cuts. You bet your ass I'm jumping ship.

You mean heroes?

It is absolutely wild to me that people think of their employers as anything but an adversary. They're not our friends and they're not looking out for what's best for us, either.

I'm half convinced everyone complaining about Windows has not used Windows since ME or XP. Windows is perfectly good. It sucks that dev tools cater to people who want to spend thousands of dollars for a laptop and monitor stand but otherwise it's great.

I would bet that Adobe is definitely salivating at that. Might not be for a long time but it seems like a no brainer once the technology can handle it. Just the last few years have been fast and I interacted with the JS landscape for a few years. It moves faster than Sonic and this tech iterates quick.

Yeah, the issue is capitalism. It requires costs be minimized and profits go up. Why buy quality carts? Why pay employees good wages? Simple: you don't because every other business is doing the same thing.

You mean your company hasn't fired all their testers and made the devs do it themselves yet? I'm jealous.

When 99.9%+ of all jobs worth having will be 5 day work weeks it's irrelevant. Then you have how utter garbage the job market is right now and that's a bad time waiting to happen. People really need to get over their bootstraps fantasy and start realizing the problem is systemic.

If it's infringing then they're not viable. However, there are plenty of Reddit-like sites that are out there. The issue isn't functionality. As always in these matters it's that they cannot reach a critical mass of users.

I wonder if this might mean that a version 1.x or 2 is somewhere in the pipeline with (eventual) better results to some nth degree. Really hoping we can get some more of these in the US and that the prices will come down as things change.

Honestly, this just made me excited for AI in these apps. Imagine if you could just have a conversation with a personalized language coach constantly to help you learn a language and immerse yourself in it. Heck, this is HN. Who knows, maybe it's already in the works by someone around here. I think the first few iterations will be rough especially while "AI" generations remain close to current. Though I haven't messed with Gemini or Chat-GPT 4+ultra, maybe they've gotten disproportionately better.

You want to antagonize an untouchable murder junkie? In what universe is that a good idea?

The irony of directing people to Walmart from Amazon. Walmart is just as bad, if not worse, than Amazon.o

Money. You make money. That's why people aren't out competing. You get paid money. Lots of money.

Wasn't there stories from the FAANG utopia that people in office found out they were fired by their key cards not working at the doors?

To rephrase your point a bit more accurately. One of the parties is the party of no. The other is the party of "idk, what do you guys think?"

RTO doesn't change anything about that. It'll still be cheaper to hire in low cost areas.

They seem to be doing relatively fine. They spend less on stuff that we do and get more for it. Also, the world is bigger than the US and EU.

Funny, my mind goes to NASA and the Gemini program.

Well, the unionized staff didn't seem to be impacted by the last round. I'm inclined to say it's at least probable that it might have proved beneficial.

Exactly. We have to disregard the entire thing. If we can get more of these images from reputable sources that verify the actual story that's a matter that should be discussed. Given, however, what we have is propaganda in the most explicit form we should not take it on faith that they're honest about any of it.

I hope we'll get there. I see studies and reports of things like UBI and 4 day work weeks and even basic things folks in EU countries get and it's honestly difficult to ever envision any of it actually coming to the US for most of us regular folk.
