n0th3r-curious··on Ask HN: How to do the bare minimum when not valued at work?
I got this advice from a guy who worked many decades at a single company and was about to retire in 2009 - "never burn the bridges" ., keep up the enthusiasm. You never know, they might hire you back down the road...

There is that cliche - "under promise, over deliver" , not sure if that applies to your situation...

n0th3r-curious··on Nikon releases bug fix firmware update for the 10 year-old D7100 DSLR camera
Interesting to see many technical comments...

I have one, and will update the firmware. Pardon my dumb comment - guessing whether they implemented some kind of upgrade where it has option to connect to wifi...

Thanks for sharing! I wish they teach this right in high school, so they can focus on healthier life choices (instead of intoxicants).

Well said! Unless the personal life is happy (stable dependable lovable relationship like spouse/significant other), it's hard to succeed in professional life.
n0th3r-curious··on Ask HN: Anyone else quickly losing confidence in Amazon?
In fact last year I posted #google - complaining how google blocks genuine negative reviews with proofs, on FB. Result was my FB account (avid FB user since 2009) and my email that I use to login to FB were hacked (lost access to FB and my gmail accounts).

Makes one wonder what the security teams at these Big Tech do for work - hack genuine online users and scrape the internet blocking all genuine activity in favor of their own products.

Somehow and don't when this happened and still happening - The negative reviews are not getting approved (google, amz, etc.), the number of dislikes on youtube videos stopped showing, and even now if you dislike a video, it won't show (might be there is a bot or a algorithm that's checking some negative words, connotations and then its blocking the review altogether). It might be during the covid some time in 2020/2021 is when this started happening (or during Trump reign).
