This seems like a terrific joke!

" I think it is silly for startups to provide too many perks."

Short term, if they need to attract talent or die they better attract talent. People getting pissed off when startup gets big is a "future problem".

I think this adoption on non-existent gorillas is perfectly in line with over shorting positions with Game stop stocks.

Should we just switch to France as a main language in the EU countries? Oui.

Sounds like bitcoin predictions coming true.

Not necessarily. You might need to get country specific additional training which can be either easy to get or .. well not.

"I expect that’s why the jobs listed on this site don’t reveal salaries."

They have a lathe in the submarine. Nice!

I would hope Wikipedia concentrates being Wikipedia. Other "follow WIPO" activities should be left to other parties. Focus on core with small money. That is the way to go.

Please take also the consultancy buyers perspective when assessing the value you bring in.

Are you the only consultant who could figure out how to bring down the cost of the appliance (in the articles example) down by 1$?

If not then your value is not as high as you used in the calculation. The potential client could find other consultants to do the same thing (price optimization of a mass product - service well available in the market). As there are more providers then estimating the "value" should take in to account that there are several offerers of service. It is now a tendering situation. I am now excluding a remote situation where all the offerers of the optimization service would collude in their offers.

Maybe it was genuine screw up and the deep fake story was created to cover ones ass.

As a kid when playing blindfolded trying to catch others I used this (echo location) all the time to avoid bumping to walls. Nothing in it is something which would be unique for blind people.

Illegal in Europe. You need to agreement for this kind of tracking.

Well you can allays publish them anyway - even in HN for public review.

Is this some US specific problem? At least in EU we don't have this kind of lock down problems for seeds.
