silexia 14 days ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] As a man, I find myself increasingly detesting other men who whine. Our society now wants all men to be able to cry just like women can and everyone should applaud. But we have a billion generations of evolution behind us pushing men who don't cry in the face of problems, but fight and overcome. Maybe I am just a backwards throwback, but maybe not. All of the men who cry in front of women (even women who claim crying is okay) that I've heard of are not embraced, but reviled. That is just biology. Toughen up.

he's right but for the wrong reasons (  )here's a good hn moment: _ryanjsalva 6 hours ago | next [–] Howdy, folks. Ryan here from the GitHub Copilot product team [ snip ] reply socialismisok 1 hour ago | unvote | parent | next [–] Hey Ryan! Have you ever done any reading on the Luddites? They weren't the anti technology, anti progress social force people think they were. They were highly skilled laborers who knew how to operate complex looms. When auto looms came along, factory owners decided they didn't want highly trained, knowledgeable workers they wanted highly disposable workers. The Luddites were happy to operate the new looms, they just wanted to realize some of the profit from the savings in labor along with the factory owners. When the factory owners said no, the Luddites smashed the new looms. Genuinely, and I'm not trying to ask this with any snark, do you view the work you do as similar to the manufacturers of the auto looms? The opportunity to reduce labor but also further the strength of the owner vs the worker? I could see arguments being made both ways and I'm curious about how your thoughts fall. dmix 1 hour ago | root | parent | next [–] What alternative are you suggesting? Things turned out pretty great economy-wise for people in the UK. So that's a poor example even if Luddites didn't hate technology. Not working on the technology wouldn't have done the world any favours (nor the millions of people who wore the more affordable clothes it produced). reply krageon 26 minutes ago | unvote | root | parent | prev | next [–] The luddites were right. Everything is worse because they did not win, which is obvious if you spend a second thinking about what them not winning means: more concentrated wealth, more disenfranchised workers.

I agree with krageon, and the bizarre steampunk-inventing book The Difference Engine has a story imagining the Luddites going IRA on the loom owners with sniper rifles. Weirdest thing written by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling

Love how the pro-capitalism arguments are no longer “it’s not perfect, but it’s the best system we have,” “No other system has lifted more people out of poverty,” or something like “The free enterprise system maximizes human freedom and satisfying everyone’s wants and needs.” Now it’s just “Well actually, feeding people to Moloch is good!”

It's not perfect, but the schools I went to, designed by capitalists, taught me, from textbooks written by capitalists, that it's the best system we have, and any other conceivable system would be an affront to god. Plus, maybe I'll be a billionaire someday.

That post has me seeing red (I saw it before this thread and came to vent, ha). None of these assholes know a thing about history or much of anything else, and it happened to people who weren't white so of course it's time to rationalize. I try not to feed the trolls too much but I am trying my best in there. tracecomplete fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Oct 22, 2022 |

well everything has to follow from some first principles right so if we can just (this is the central thesis of the “Austrian” and “Chicago” schools of economics, and ultimately of most of capitalism—though not of Adam Smith)

izelnakri 8 hours ago | root | parent | next [–] Never reaching a year at 10 jobs is something to ask I think however: > why would any hiring manager reasonably expect that to be different after hiring them again for job 11 Thats is I think still the wrong approach, signals the wrong mentality in an IT company(a company thats greatest asset is its employees). Investing in employees can never be a saving center in a good IT business, considering all businesses are becoming IT businesses perhaps in every business in this context. If a candidate has the skills and took time to apply, if they are qualified you are responsible to hire them and keep them. If I was the manager of the hiring manager, I’d probably fire this hiring manager for keeping the organization dumber, and seeks his own interest/status-quo seeking behavior & protectionism with this behavior/approach/mentality. I do believe in moving mountains in 3-6 months, especially in badly managed projects or super fast growing companies. reply

buscoquadnary 2 hours ago | unvote | root | parent | next [–] But what lake house is complete without a boat. That's why my company is looking for investors who are interested in being at the forefront of the data revolution, using our data rowboat that will allow you to proactively leverage your data synergies to break down organizational data silos and use analytics to address your core competencies in order to leverage a strategic advantage to become the platform of choice in a holistic environment. Tell me if this sounds familiar, your company has tons of data but it is spread out all over the place and you can't seem to get good info, you end up hounding engineers to get your reports and provide you information so you can look like you are making data driven decisions. Maybe you've implemented a data lake but now have no idea how to use it. We've got you covered with our patent pending data rowboat solution. This will allow you to impressive everyone else in the mid level staff meetings by allowing you to say you are doing something around the "data revolution" in your org. The best part is that every implementation will come with a team of our in house consultants that will allow the project to drag on forever so that you always have something to report on in staff meetings and make you look good to your higher ups. Now you may be an engineer looking to revolutionize your career and get involved in the next step of the glorious October data revolution. Well we've got you covered for a very reasonable price you can enroll in our "data rowboat boot camp", where you will spend hours locked in a room where someone who barely speaks English will read documentation to you. But act quick otherwise you'll end up as one of the data kulaks as the new data rowboat revolution proceeds into a glorious future with our 5 year plan.

cogman10 1 hour ago | prev | next [–] Asbestos encapsulates a problem with society at large. We, unfortunately, are simply too binary in our thinking "Oh, asbestos causes cancer? We better purge it from everything everywhere". The context of when and why (and to who) asbestos causes cancer is simply ignored. This sort of problem exists everywhere. If something bad happens or is caused by something (politics, economics, etc) we are simply too quick to throw the baby out with the bathwater. From a tech standpoint, I see this a lot. Postgres at my current company got banned because one team one time had a bad experience with it (after they misused it). reply

a bit of a break from your normal hn bad opinion but thought this one had a certain hn charm to it Jun8 4 hours ago | next [–] Ginkgo trees are either male or female and the horrible smell is only produced by female trees, when ripe seeds fall to the ground, i.e. not all ginkgos smell. Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell if a young individual is male or female (https://www.osgf.org/blog/2017/11/7/blandy-ginkgo). If you have a patio or small balcony, you can grow the ginkgo shrub (Ginkgo biloba Mariken), we have one and its leaves just turned last week to a fantastic yellow, which is indescribable ... well, I just googled it and the color code is #f9f525
