And ratings 1-10 and approx time to read,

And ways to sort: best first, and rating divided by time to read?

So I can be mad at more than one person, when Google Drive's or iOS' user interface is misbehaving

> you have to "join audio" before hearing anything

If it's a private meeting, you're going to listen only, but

you're at a public place and didn't yet plug in your headphones?

> honoured ... in the breach

What does that mean? (Not a native speaker)

Don't Make Me Think is another good book I think :-)

Stylish sells better? Or why does it happen?

People don't have time to dig into usability details, instead they get an app because it gives a nice looking first impression? Could "rewards" in a company work in similar ways -- impressing managers with sth nice looking?

> make the [propaganda] activity do the opposite of what [the CCP] might want

I like that idea

Agreed about the US and Saudi Arabia and Yemen. And Trump and Biden handed Afghanistan over to the Talibans, they should go to prison for thousands of lifetimes for having done that

> Has the U.S been unaware of the human rights atrocities commited by Saudi Arabia

I think most people are. But not the politicians

Hmm I wouldn't use a negatively loaded word like "shill"? It's not the paid trolls who are the problem (some of them might as well have been my friends, had I live at another place. Maybe they need money to feed their kids, who's to blame them for that) -- it's the CCP and Xi who are the problem.

> follow up with their comments and guide the argument back to it's basic facts

If there was time for that. Do you have time for that?

I think there's mostly not time for that. Maybe I'd mostly just delete paid content (CCP propaganda) if it was my forum

> successful co-ops

For example, Ghost? Does Mozilla count? (A non profit)

I'm leaning towards an LLC (and not a non profit), even more now.

The engineer, admin and manager example sounds frustrating!

I can run a company (it seems) but a co-op, then I'm afraid one would need much greater charisma and persuasion skills, and also enjoy that?

Otherwise the co-op would be unstable? With equal voting power, then any member with bad ideas and persuasion skills would be an existential threat? But in a company, s/he could just be fired? (Or contract not renewed)

Aha, I thought that was RPG but maybe that means computer games

Oops the exact age wasn't meant to be taken literally, maybe I was 13 (was long ago). And wasn't hide and seek either (but other a bit childish things)

From what I'm reading, PE firms sometimes make zombies out of ok functioning companies, ... And sell the zombie, before others see what's happened

(Eg fire too many employees to cut costs)

What's RP?

I think children develop vastly differently from each other, maybe some others wouldn't have been doing "RP" until they were 17?

What if you were early?

I remember when I was 14-15 I wanted to play games and "hide and seek", whilst some of my friends had started enjoying sitting down and just talking, how boring.

What are some other bad mistakes that's been made?

> the front page of HN

What if you're in bed with the flu

But if you're a team, then maybe.

Still, could delay the response with a whole day (checking HN once a day)

What were the three worst things?

Please tell me more? I've a bit been wondering if a non profit could be better than a Limited Liability Company for some future projects

And I work 60h/week already, cannot join two coops to learn more :-(

I suppose one problem could be that they'd try to make decisions via consensus or votes -- but there might be one person who is brighter and/or knows more than the others, and leaving most decisions to that one can be an improvement?

Imagine the Linux kernel starting to make decisions via consensus or votes, rather than a BDFL?

(I'm sbd else)

> sell it to someone who also [cares about the company]

That's easy to say

But it partly requires reading someone else's mind

I wasn't writing about me -- I personally I wouldn't dismiss anyone because of certs, in fact I don't care that much about people's resumes at all.

However if I was looking for a job, I'd be a bit careful with including what to me seemed like "unimportant" certs, for the reason I mentioned

> The question is whether or not people with any certificates can ethically be dismissed

To me, the question was rather if there's in practice a risk that it happens, (un)ethical or not

> bet the entire company on this?

It's that an exaggeration?

Still, about how much does Meta bet on VR? Maybe compared to profits?

If you could reverse time and say (or do) anything you would have wanted, and it wouldn't affect your future negatively,

then what do you wish you had said?

(I too find that joke distasteful)

I think some of the people here are paid by the CCP to try to spread propaganda? Maybe not GP but generally ... The 50 Cent Army

TikTok is a Chinese company not a US company

Ok thanks (was a bit who I was guessing you'd mention :-))

Aha, they're happy with mediocre hires, just good enough -- although it could have been (much) better for the company with another person

A bit misaligned incentives in the same way as agencies have, I'm thinking

I don't think so but cars are easy: just some rubber wheels glued to a steel chassi, and batteries. Shouldn't be allowed to be so expensive

> how efficiently you can forget information that

I'm smarter than what I thought :-)

& frequently forget how to iterate through arrays and objects in Typescript although been using it for years

> if I can google

Sounds fine with me, or via an IDE, or pseudocode

Recruiters get paid per interview? Or directly when someone got hired?

I thought it was more common that they'd get paid per person hired and still at the job 3 months later? But I'm a bit clueless

What is ATS? ... Aha, applicant tracking software? So you got rejected automatically by a machine? How annoying.

I could slightly understand if some people write whatever in their CVs if they're trying to get past the machines
