This is the kind of logic idiocy which is why yudkowsky thinks you should torture someone for 50 years to avoid 2^(bignumber) people getting a dust speck in their eye. This ignores second-order effects like how spending time learning how to script activity x can be helpful when you've got to script activity y, moreso than "press buttan"?

The hn have opinions on how Amazon treats warehouse workers. solarwind 8 minutes ago [-] Hacker news in a nutshell. Your fact-based comment from the actual real world runs counter to the dominant Marxist post-modernist thinking here. --- ianleeclark 5 hours ago [-] > I'd suggest working with or managing a place with low-skilled people. They of course aren't all like that but it seems it attracts low-motivation, low-effort, or low-caring Pay low wage, get low motivation. No one's going to bust their rear end over a mcgriddle for minimum wage. reply mtrower 2 hours ago [-] I sure did. Harder than I worked at some better paying jobs, for sure. Wage itself does not seem to be the determining factor in motivation. I'd say it's more about barriers to entry and the work environment itself.

benibela 2 hours ago [-] >You're never going to kiss anyone or share a cup or a smoke or any of the thousands of ways that have infected the vast majority of humanity? Sounds reasonable I am 30 and have never kissed anyone, and no plans to change that soon. Although I had some shared cups. I probably should get tested. But there is a good change I have avoided all herpes, even EBV. I hope they can find a vaccine soon. reply

vmception 1 hour ago [-] I'm a male and I paid for Gardasil 9 treatments by a medical professional that lasted through my 26th birthday some time ago. It was a decent bet based on the idea that the money and privilege isn't necessarily going to last forever, while - if I wasn't already exposed to those strains - the vaccine helps. Since then they've expanded the utility to people up to 40 years of age, instead of cutting off at 26. They've said throat cancers in men are linked to HPV - I can figure out how that happens - whereas it was previously benign in men and they were just carriers causing cervical cancers. One more reason to date zoomers! The adult ones are attractive and have their shots, whereas older are basically oblivious and likely part of the group that fought against zoomers getting those shots. reply

momokoko 5 hours ago | parent | flag | favorite | on: Happiness is a freshly organized codebase Needing organized codebases is a personality type as there is zero academic research I’m aware of that has ever shown strict organization has resulted in less bugs or faster development. These are all done by people that need to feel in control and that everything has a place. So much money and time has been wasted on stuff like this with zero proven or measured benefit. === jfim 5 hours ago | parent | flag | favorite | on: Happiness is a freshly organized codebase Maybe, but there are other metrics than just developer output. If having a codebase that's well organized makes developers happier, and happier developers stay longer at the company, then that's also a win. === momokoko 5 hours ago | parent | flag | favorite | on: Happiness is a freshly organized codebase This makes some, definitely not all, developers happier. Organization for happiness is based on the individual developers personality and means you are putting some engineer’s happiness as a priority over spending that money providing other things to make the developers with a personality type that derives no benefit from strict organization. In fact, strict organization rules make some developers less happy. Why is their happiness less important when this is well known to have no business benefit?

a few years ago we started a new project at work and the senior dev just slopped code wherever with the justification that it’s a proof of concept and we’ll clean it up later, nbd well lo and behold, very quickly no one but him could follow that spaghetti poo poo. after 3 sprints of “cleanup” it ended up with a sane structure - it was fairly well factored, responsibilities were cleanishly separated, etc. but it was like, man I bet if you had spent just a little bit of time sketching out a reasonable structure from the beginning it would have been like 75% right dads friend steve fucked around with this message at 08:41 on May 8, 2020 |

zaroth 1 hour ago | parent | favorite | on: There is one, and only one strain of SARS-CoV-2 I couldn’t agree more. The COVID discussions have been the single most frustrating experience for me on HN since I joined. Ever single comment I’ve made downvoted, even accused of contributing to millions of deaths (an account which was thankfully banned for making the remark). It’s only in the last week or two that it’s started to become remotely possible to have intellectual discussions on COVID, but it’s still overwhelmingly politicized and unscientific.

There's a Damore thread... ravenstine 2 hours ago [-] Damore was not offered a chance to receive forgiveness by either the company or the outrage mob, therefore I don't respect what people generally have to say about whether what he did was right or wrong. It's astounding that people are still debating this in this very HN thread. A society of any size that makes virtue claims while simultaneously adding an undue price to being wrong or insensitive deserves to be mocked and ridiculed. You don't have to agree with anything Demore said, but the fact that Google openly encouraged political discussion, yet had an unwritten rule that if you say anything to upset a particular political demographic that you are terminated, is patently absurd. Companies shouldn't be encouraging employees to be political. We would never tolerate companies that encourage religious discussion but fire employees that say things against the Christian faith. If you're going to come into this thread to refute Damore's memo and downvote people who don't tow your petty little line, your need to reexamine your principles, if you've got one. balls187 54 minutes ago [-] You mean consequences for your behavior? recursive 39 minutes ago [-] You mean like how domestic violence is just consequences for the victim's behavior? spangry 4 hours ago [-] If making a mess is what gets you fired, shouldn't google have gone after whoever leaked the memo, instead of Damore? varjag 5 hours ago [-] Plenty people here suggest Damore's something smart, can I see his GitHub?
