Look it was just a very unfortunate rocket factory slavery Wait is this Elon musk or von Braun Also quote:When shown a picture of himself standing behind Himmler, von Braun claimed to have worn the SS uniform only that one time,[25] but in 2002 a former SS officer at Peenemünde told the BBC that von Braun had regularly worn the SS uniform to official meetings. He began as an Untersturmführer (Second lieutenant) and was promoted three times by Himmler, the last time in June 1943 to SS-Sturmbannführer (Major). Von Braun later claimed that these were simply technical promotions received each year regularly by mail.[26] I was just in the SS as a formality

hide1713 on Mar 15, 2012 [–] I think those decisions are totally right. It is very clear that social network is important. It is very clear that google needs really good phone/tablet products that other manufactures can not provide. Google+ is a new product. Don't make a judgement so early. It is getting better everyday.

tbh while o church does sound like a person that does not play well with others due to an ego issue and doesn’t know when to quit, they do have some valid criticisms from what I’ve seen granted it’s obvious some of those criticisms are driven by selfish personal reasons

I find it hard to evaluate stuff like that because, first of all, it's hard to know who to believe from the outside in this kind of situation, but also because lots of Googlers seems to feel like it's their job to go on HN whenever Google is mentioned and defend it from any criticism.

Texas is proud of allowing Texas Instruments to make you sign over your soul and have no recourse. I’m honestly not sure if Austin would somehow grow even faster if it had California’s non compete laws

I think part of that saga is also that they wanted to be on machine learning projects but google New York campus doesn’t do very much of that? And then they felt deceived by recruiting? And the management answers were a mix of we don’t do much here and also part of starting out is like assignment rotations to get you settled in? And then he didn’t do his work because he thought anything below moving towards running machine learning at google was beneath him? And tried to get around the process by trying to get transferred to Mountain View, which was blocked because he wasn’t doing his work?

He's an interesting guy. Some of the stuff he wrote at various points is actually...kinda interesting, if only for explaining some basic management theory in a way that will stick for nerds. It is not subtle and it misses a lot, but it's a better framework than just "work hard with your blinders on forever and someday you'll be the CEO!". After the whole "queynte" thing I went "nah" and haven't talked to him since, but it looked like he might be trying to get his head screwed on straight. Doesn't look like it's happened.

I don’t think he’s endorsing it. it’s definitely a thing, for example Southern California has city of commerce and city of industry with almost 0 permanent residents for some sort of regulations dodge I don’t understand and “don’t worry nobody will actually live here” is an important part of all the construction going up in Manhattan

I can't tell if HN's idiot parade flagged me for saying that "Facebook may not support hate but is apparently okay with it" or for noting that they don't do anything about right-wing hate speech all over the platform, but both are funny. I kinda wonder if my account still sets off alarm bells. pg slowbanned me once for treating a racist like a dirtbag, though later mods un-did it eventually. Now I either get flagged or get a dozen upvotes and there's not much middle ground.

try not posting on or reading hacker news. it feels good. just read the hn thread and let others make the sacrifice for you. yes, yes if everyone does this then there won't be any more content for the hn thread, but that's a risk im willing to take

I really should. I don't use it to draw consulting work anymore, which was my main excuse. I mean I'm not gonna, because I am addicted to the upvote rush and I like tilting techbros and it's a slightly better grade of trash than Reddit, but I should.

yeah, the pointer authentication spec/whitepaper got posted to hn and i felt obliged to sign up and answer questions in case there was anything good. obviously there wasn’t, because hn is 60% javascript developers who think they’re brilliant hackers and 40% moribund old farts who think they’re way too cool for hn but do spend an awful lot of time there, but i put the work in just in case
