Mildly amusing, and yes - the whole "this company is a family" schtick is overplayed by companies. I never say that at my company - instead the employees often say it back to me, which I feel is much more culturally "real" than me saying it.

At one company party, the employees were going around the room telling me how nice it was to work for me (which is very kind of them). The last guy sheepishly shrugged and said, "I don't want to be standoffish but I felt this way at my last company, and they let me go. This is just a job to me." I felt like this is overall the most healthy attitude to have when thinking about work, and frankly to hear it out loud was refreshing. I love that kind of honesty.

I remember reading this in an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. Anyone remember those?

Sorry Dan, you're right. I'll avoid that in the future.

"Sort by controversial" is mandatory

> Mother Postgres can do no wrong.

Simple, eloquent, damn true.

Only Hacker News could make piracy sound so eloquent and - dare I say - romantic.

Dunno why you're being downvoted - folks this is very clearly satire.

"Greenwashing" - never heard that term. Gonna use that one!

Provided an outlet for some thoughts, mainly.

Funny concept, but the premise that the origin of the image is unethically sourced is suspect in and of itself. Can we stop with these signal-y type posts?

The accepted answer really illustrates that a popular, eloquent answer can still be so very, very wrong on many levels.

> ...I thought that was much more fair than front-of-the-house staff being paid more than the kitchen folks due to some antiquated racist bullshit.

Was this necessary to get your point across? Honestly, invalidated much of the article for me. I find that assumptions like this betray the poisoned viewpoints of the author.

Won't support a car company that can't make good cars.

Very nice. Still not buying their cars until they get their long-term reliability and depreciation issues worked out.

You can downplay this all you want - but remember: stuff like this is a microcosm of a larger issue.

Sections of your government worked directly with Twitter to control what information you saw.

Much bigger organizations - Facebook comes to mind - must be doing the same thing every.single.day. And no one finds this even a little bit alarming?

This comment is a plug for Bitwarden.

This is like the best kind of fever dream

It very clearly states it's more than backups. I would advise you click the link and start reading.

Okay. Glad your data backed analysis with the data you've shared (outside of your observations of mentally unstable individuals of course) has yielded that "Twitter _is_ on shaky ground".

Oh you haven't shared any data? Oh yeah. Okay.

I made do, so can you (and all the other dads).

Father of four here, had one two months ago.

> It also doesn’t help that dads aren’t the patient after a birth, so they aren’t fed or given a bed.

Yes, and? You're free to go to the cafeteria and buy food or leave and go buy food. And there's usually at least a chair. What do you expect, a Marriott?

> What agony, losing a child in slow motion.

These words are both poetic and heart-wrenching.

> Now that Twitter is on a downward spiral

If you open your article with hyperbole, don't be surprised if I take the rest of the article with a huge grain of salt.

Me too! What a 90's throwback.

I'm a simple man. I see problems with Google/Stripe/whatever that can't be solved thru normal channels, I upvote.

Exactly. The president can say that, but it doesn't mean that it means anything.

That's a good one!

Moore's Law is dead - can anyone think of a more cliche article title in the tech world?

I never said it was new nor news, I said it was scary.

> Agents built a detailed financial picture of Larry. Inspecting his cloud accounts...

Scariest part of the article.
