temp8964··on The rebellion against the return to the office is getting serious
If employers allow some work from home and some work in office, after a few years, there will be lots of reports to claim the statistical differences of wage and promotion between those two groups are discriminations. And demand those two groups to have the same outcomes.
temp8964··on What’s behind China’s boom in company formation?
My guess the main cause is the change of business model brought by eCommerce, especially WeChat. WeChat really makes it extremely easy for everyone to open a business and get paid. There are also other popular eCommerce platforms in China like TaoBao/Tmall , Pinduoduo, JD, DouYing (TikTok), etc.
temp8964··on Employers’ Use of AI Tools Can Violate the Americans with Disabilities Act
This is unreasonable generalization. Dark skin does have direct impact on image processing. Nothing like this exists in hiring.

How is paying property tax free-ride?
temp8964··on I stopped to watch kids playing at recess – security was called
LoL. I still won’t come, no matter how nice the city is.

Living in a big house is waaaaaay better than a living in an apartment inside a building. No contest here.

temp8964··on Minnesota Wants to Ban Under-18s from User-Generated Content Services
This sounds like you are following way too many sources.
temp8964··on Minnesota Wants to Ban Under-18s from User-Generated Content Services
Yes. The description sounds heavily biased. I know lots of people want to see Facebook content chronologically ordered.

People also want this so others can see their posts, not just posts from popular posters.

Facebook seems to have this option, but I can’t get it to work. So I uninstalled it again.

temp8964··on eBay Robbed This Man of $4700 and Suspended His Account When He Asked Questions
I had once a guy in California bought my used phone and claimed the screen was cracked and attached a picture of the cracked screen. I reverse searched the image and found it was online long ago. Tried to explain this to customer service for many times. They just couldn’t understand it…

I made the guy return to me and threat to report to his local police if he dares to not return to me. He eventually returned it to me. Terrible experience.

temp8964··on Humanity’s broken risk perception is reversing global progress
Then he should name specific countries, not just the region.
temp8964··on Humanity’s broken risk perception is reversing global progress
Yes. China with a level 4 biolab should be compared to Yemen or Sub-Saharan Africa. LOL.

Also do remember WHO played political game on the side of China at the beginning of the pandemic. That’s one of the reasons we got in this new SARS.

Sample size = 1

This should be flagged.

temp8964··on Apple's director of machine learning resigns due to return to office work
Jobs hired that guy to be CEO.
temp8964··on Apple's director of machine learning resigns due to return to office work
This sounds great. Maybe Apple thinks it can find someone else can do the same job in office. Also they can't just make exceptions for "talented" people, I guess.
temp8964··on Ali, what’s up
> Customer representatives call you darling

This is actually true. They call you "亲", which could be translated to darling.

This is a weird thing though. Chinese people almost never call each other "亲", not even between husband and wife. But one day suddenly it became a common phrase used in customer service.

temp8964··on What are your most used self-hosted applications?
Plex server has Windows version. If you use Windows, it's just like installing an app on Windows. The only thing is you need to setup port forwarding for remote access.
temp8964··on What game are you playing?
However, in high school, many of other kids are in fact playing stupid games. Boys hang out do stupid things, or compete who’s the bigger bully. Girls play social games with bullies.
temp8964··on Teen mental health is plummeting and social media is a major contributing cause [pdf]
I am wondering how much this effect vary by family culture.

Are Asians kids less impacted because parent intervenes? Just guessing.

temp8964··on Teen mental health is plummeting and social media is a major contributing cause [pdf]
> Rent is going up and mortgage rates are going up faster. A shrinking portion of young adults can now afford housing. The economy is becoming so disfunctional there's almost no reason to bother participating. When children end up in that position their family will turn on them and they have nothing materially or socially.

This sounds exactly like you are reading too much social media.

temp8964··on We should have a $25 minimum wage
Why left’s proposal is always universal? Just make your own city $25 min wage, unlimited abortion, free health care, free education. If you are doing good , everyone else will follow. No need to keep persuading others.
temp8964··on What makes collapse inevitable and imminent
I believe in price signals and market adjustments more than any of those doomsday projections. Unless for unknown reasons, all oil reserves suddenly disappear overnight, I am not concerned.
temp8964··on Pirate site traffic surges with help from manga boom
Another reason for me to download stuff and put in a home streaming server is that I get to control what my small kids watch. There are so many stupid stuff on YouTube and other streaming services, so I just download good cartoons for my kids to watch.
temp8964··on How to professionally say
The context is important. There is cultural difference among countries and fields.

There is also the difference from types of communication, i.e. face-to-face or email or slack.

There is also the difference from the audience, i.e. who are you talking to, coworkers or clients.

There is even individual differences, i.e. different people will perceive differently, simply because their personalities.

temp8964··on An update on the campaign to defend serious math education in California
Totally agree. That's why there is a CTE (career and technical education) movement in the US now. Perkins V is the strong push in this regard. https://cte.ed.gov/legislation/perkins-v
temp8964··on An update on the campaign to defend serious math education in California
Students do learn art in K-12, but they could be considered as "bad art" by professional artists...
temp8964··on An update on the campaign to defend serious math education in California
I don't think it has to be related to any point you put in here. I think when STEM people comment on math education, they easily forget K-12 math education is for all students, not future college STEM students.

Lots of controversies in math education between STEM professors (especially mathematicians) and K-12 math educators/researchers are rooted in this. In the community of math and science education, we educators/researchers always focus on average students who will grow into future citizens, not STEM workers. This is really a different mindset to STEM professors.

temp8964··on Ask HN: How to ask employer to match inflation rate, independent of pay rise
To my knowledge, universities and government agencies automatically raise salary across board to match inflation, but usually not as high as 5%.
temp8964··on twitter/the-algorithm
Here’s the play: interpret “the algorithm” in a stupid way, and then claim it doesn’t exist, and then make a joke about it on company repo.

You know what? This does demonstrate the internal problems inside Twitter and shows the need for shakeup.
