Sorry, buy backs are not stock manipulation. Let's step back from emotions and political skew. A company is able to take their capital and deploy it how they see fit. This can include purchasing percentage ownership of their company back from stockholders. Whether or not you agree doesn't make it manipulation in the general sense. It's just a way for a company to use their money.

Nothing directly, it just sounds bad at face value.

It seems odd to me that you are speaking as if your choices are not decisions you have to own the consequence of. You get married, you have kids, you made those choices but refuse to acknowledge that.

Sorry, how does your question relate to my comment?

What do I need to know? Tech oriented, factually grounded discussion. The thing I come here for that allows me to partially escape reality and enjoy the finer things in life. I can tune into Fox, CNN, Facebook, or a myriad of places for political banter.

Which is sad for someone who has been here for well over a decade. I never came here for political banter, I came for technical discussion. Facts, truths and subject matter experts. HN is slowly becoming less concentrated version of that.

Try not to dismiss my comment for what it is. I'm not taking a stance on political affiliation or preference. I'm trying to highlight a behavior that is the result of elections of recent past. I'm not excited about another 4 years where communication diminishes to snarky comments that point finger at the side they oppose. It makes me want to just go outside and smell the fresh air.

I come to HN for substantial conversation, not this elementary unsubstantial conversation.

Am I the only one that is not excited about the next four years being constant banter of this nature? I loathe it. Nothing personal against your comment but the new administration hasn't even gone into office and I cannot get away from this.

They lease a lot of buildings too. Paul Allen owned a bunch of the area.

No support for Amazon Music is a bummer.

Sadly it’s an expensive scaling problem. Not trivial to solve at the scale streaming platforms operate at.

Record labels are actually quite terrible at providing this. You would assume otherwise because it’s in their best interest. However, I work in the industry and can tell you it’s a ridiculous problem because their is no standard and lots of human effort in cleanup and cleanliness.

This reads like the “I could build Dropbox in a weekend”.

How is cdk interactive? I use cdk and have it auto build and deploy.

Or for years getting a ps5 was nearly impossible and so they gave up.

CDK is much better to express this. Why cfn?

To your point, I don't buy the truth of the statement. I work in big tech and am convinced that 25% of the code being written is not coming from AI.

Shoot for the stars and you get to the moon.

Bar raisers for COE are those who review the document for detail, resolution, detailed root cause and a clear set of action items to prioritize which will eliminate or reduce chance or reoccurrence.

It’s a person with experience.

Precisely, if you ship if, you own it. So ownership isn’t the individual but rather the team and company. Blaming a human for an error that at least another engineer likely code reviewed, a team probably discussed prioritizing and eventually lead to degradation is a poor way to prevent it from happening again.

There isn’t always low hanging fruit. And when there is, it likely requires engineering knowledge to know it exists.

This hits close to home for me. Recently I’ve been reflecting on this based on a similar situation.

(It’s not worked and still new.) I’m trying to force myself to find new hobbies and as a result interact with people while sober. I’ll report back, good luck to you!

Absolutely and no publicly traded company is going to admit it.

I’m sorry but rude people exist everywhere and it’s not a tech thing. I’ve been in big tech for over a decade and I don’t have conversations in the bathroom. If you think WFH reduces these bro-relationships, you are being naive and they just become less accessible.

I don’t follow the male, female, disabled person argument at all.

Ding ding ding … this is the most overlooked aspect of the RTO/WFH dynamic.

Private chats which effectively become echo chambers further dividing an already divided society is what I foresee.

Nvidia shield is what I use on all my TVs.

Pretty crazy I have to login to view this. I despise the internet's evolution where everything expects an account.

How? Likely bribes. No way around it in parts of the world. Have to grease the wheels of diplomacy.
