I've gotten a reply from Bezos (or more likely an EA) before, it happens.

Sidenote: EAs are just as good. Having been on the end of an EA to a CEO telling me to fix something I can tell you it's not a place you want to be. They can, in a limited way, invoke CEO power.

It's never a sure thing but it doesn't hurt to try either.

I think social media + deception is the opposite of the recipe for success going into the next unicorn. (Unless it’s obviously intended, for example having an avatar or a game character as your profile.)

Hence why BeReal became a thing but didn’t take off because it became too easy to fake (user is given a few seconds to correct front photos) + it’s super boring to look at ugly photos from a dark sofa.

People want beautiful hi res real media or completely animated.
You should have stuck to your first point. Handwaving the real estate bubble was a bad look.
Of course. Human contact is an integral part of the Starbucks experience; otherwise they wouldn't do things like writing your name on the drink or having a million different coffee customisation options.

Your scenario could work with McDonald's, where people go for the cheap convenient food. But the fact that Starbucks exists along with good butchers, grocers, and fancy independent coffee shops is proof that the human factor will always be a crucial part of food shopping.

You can self host cockroach db which scales horizontally well. But I think going "fire and forget" while also having this much concern about "scaling up" on some level feels at odds with each other. Lots of DBs can just scale up vertically or horizontally pretty easily, but as it gets bigger you will want to know more and more about how to administer it properly. As you scale, risk gets bigger. So either "fire and forget", don't learn much, and cross your fingers. Or, plan for the future and plan on getting good at some database.
In the Tennessee Valley Authority service area, at least in my specific area, we had short periods of intermittent ~15 minutes blackouts. On the 23rd it was for barely an hour and it was 2-3 hours on the 24th. With the slowly rising temperatures it has not been needed today and is not expected to be needed again in the near future.

This post needs some more details to give a good answer. Is the new role's long term viability more uncertain? Is the company on solid footing? If not, then isn't changing jobs strictly better?

My main questions for you are:

* Are you able to make do without a job for an extended period of time? I assume you don't need a work Visa to stay in country. Do you have enough savings to go for a year without work.

* How confident are you that the new role will last for at least a year?

Imagine you work a the new job for a year, the company folds, and you take a year to find a new job. Then you're no worse off than you were working at your existing job for those two years. So I'd say go for it.

The main factors that would lead me to dissuade you from making this change are: if you can't go without work for an extended period of time (Visa requirements or lack of savings). Or if you're not confident this new role will exist for at least a year.
If a cheaper human replaced me in my job ...it means humans still do the job and not some A.I so glass half full?

> As a gift, they will pay me a months salary.

Have you got a signed contract? In which case them paying you is not a "gift" but something you are most likely legally entitled to, and you should find out how much they are required to pay you first of all. You can probably get a decent idea by a bit of googling, and if it looks like you are entitled to a good bit more than the one month they offered you, you should seek out an employment lawyer asap. If the law is on your side and you are lawyered up, hopefully it won't be necessary to sue them.

> In every step I tried to behave ethically and high trust.

Never trust faceless magacorps, especially not ones with a long documented pattern of screwing over their employees (and everyone else) without a second thought and right when they are going through mass lay-offs. Working for bigtech can be a great idea compensation and career wise, but never lose sight of the fact that to them you are just a replaceable cog whatever the in-house brain-washing department will try to tell you. Also, try to understand how critical the team you are hired into is to the company's current revenue streams, especially if the economy looks like it does now.

I would also suggest putting some contact details in your HN profile, maybe someone will reach out who can help (either with advice or, if you are really lucky and happen to have the right skills and tell people here about them, potentially even a visa-sponsorship; one difficulty is that you are on a short time frame and typically only larger companies will offer visa sponsorships unless you have some particular key skills).

> Are all places like this?

No, but you should be prepared to get screwed over at startups or small to medium companies as well. For faceless megacorps reading up on (ex-)employee experiences on forums like HN and glassdoor etc. is a good idea. For small companies being a good judge of character and talking to the CEO or similar as part of the interview helps.

My point was exactly the converse: let's look at evidence for the "general problem of systemic bureaucracy" instead of using ridiculous job titles as a stand-in straw man to beat up.

So you want America to publicly declare that it will not lift a finger to defend its ally, and instead skim the top of the cream of Taiwanese society and leave their friends and relatives to die in war? If the Taiwanese wanted to defend their country they should have learned to do it themselves, ha ha.

Imagine what kind of message this sends to people of Japan, South Korea, or Poland.
1. Ultimately people employed by Twitter had to make calls on what content violated their rules, which they did so in a deliberate manner. Is this surprising to you, did you assume machines did this?

2. There was no direction. FBI pointed out content that filed Twitter's rules (NOT its rules), and Twitter sometimes took action and sometimes didn't, at their own discretion. There as no direction, no instruction, no ordering of any kind.

3. Communications yes, "arrange censorship" no. See above.

I get that the "Twitter Files" is a perfectly engineered PR campaign to convince conservatives of the one thing they believed all along "they are censoring us!". Well, you are half right. "They" meaning Twitter did take repeated actions against right wing accounts for breaking its rules against harassment, election/public health misinfo, and general awfulness. That's true. But the US government never demanded or received any action.

It feels too soon to judge the actions of Musk and his team. I mean, they're barely starting to figure out how the heck they're going to turn around Twitter into a sustainable business. It's not exactly an easy task!

Everything Twitter does is surely up for internal debate at the moment. From the outside, it looks like Musk & co. are trying lots of different ideas, including some crazy ones, to figure out what works and what doesn't. I'm going to wait to pass judgment until things start stabilizing.
well, the problem is that while big folks are adopting Matrix, it looks like we have a nightmare feedback loop in progress: now that Matrix is good enough for everyone to run it at scale, most of the commercial orgs doing so don’t feel the urge to route any of the $ they get from selling Matrix services back to the core team (or to Element, which fund 98% of the core team today). In fact, the better we’ve made Matrix, the less likely folks are to fund the core team to help them run it!

So while superficially it looks good, we are not in a great position. Element has had to do a 15% layoff (impacting the Matrix core team) due to losing business to non-Matrix specialists who claim they can provide Matrix solutions “because it’s all open source”.

Therefore either we need to persuade those folks to support the Foundation to keep core dev going - or Element ends up forced into an increasingly open core model in order to keep the lights on, which is hardly in the spirit of open source or Matrix. :(
Geometric Algebra and Classical Mechanics
An elementary introduction to geometric algebra, with examples of applications to problems from classical mechanics
We're not arguing that the situation doesn't happen. We're arguing that it's a crappy situation.

But let's untangle something. There is a legitimate difference between this and ICE boycotts. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc. are signing B2B contracts and making specific deals to work with the U.S. military or ICE or whatever group. This is not the same issue. It's similar, but different in very important ways.

One is the type of interaction. Business to business contracts are Not like using a platform as a user. A contract is a mutual agreement that is negotiated between two businesses. There are almost always dedicated employees whose responsibilities include dealing with a given contract, not to mention if there's any work to be done as a result of it. This is a very different interaction from merely being one of a million users on a public open-registration platform.

Two is who is protesting. I think some employee protests are silly, but not all of them. If employees don't want to work for a company that is doing what they believe to be unethical things, they are well within reason to threaten to leave the company.

I don't necessarily want to draw a direct conclusion about other similar events here, I'm just trying to point out that we're not dealing with the same kind of relationship.

I'm against banning entities from using e.g. Amazon Web Services, on the basis of their identity, if their usage is above board and legal. I'm not, however, talking about the concept of employees at Amazon not wanting to work for or with other entities directly.
Pure toxin is a bit harsh, no?

I can tell you what kind of incentives such a system promotes: different ones!

In particularly a welfare system gives incentives to people who want to create something out of intrinsic motivation, not because of financial motivation. Many of the things the most profitable companies use are actually but on tools and mathematics that were created without any financial freedom.

So I would rather reserve the word "toxic" rather for the current system consisting of purely financial motivation to hoard money that your are so vigorously defending.

> US it just might help bring about a cultural shift away from extreme consumerism towards something more sustainable.

If the US's best defense against a China-initiated economic war is to give up consumerism, that doesn't give me a great deal of hope for Taiwan.

More generally, it would be great for manufacturing to move back to the EU and the US. But that can't happen on the scale of months or even years; in a war with China, we'd face huge supply chain disruptions for the duration.

> They are armed with missiles to the teeth and they can hit some rather sensitive places in China.

This isn't a realistic appraisal of Taiwan's military capabilities. China dominates Taiwan on all aspects of military power; fanciful ideas about blowing up the Three Gorges Dam aside, China doesn't worry too much about Taiwan's military.

> I expect brain drain and leaving rest of the Taiwan to China while officially protesting it and banning Taiwanese products from US/EU markets for a couple of years to help local spin-offs stabilize.

As bad and dumb as this outcome would be, China would consider it a total victory.

> Taiwanese might choose to fight, in which case US/EU will happily supply weapons.

You have to get those weapons to Taiwan somehow, and Taiwan would need to be able to launch them from somewhere. China has effective countermeasures to both if American engagement is limited to that.

* there will be another hype for a technology on HN that doesn't introduce anything revolutionary but will have 20 posts on the front page per day (seen this with: SQLite, Postrgres, Rust, Zig; downvotes incoming)

* Twitter users will massively migrate to a new social network (and it won't be Mastodon) like there was exodus from Tumblr to Twitter, and this social network will change ToS to allow NSFW (my bets are Instagram or TikTok)

* There will be a larger recession among video game companies even compared to crypto

* Inflation and energy crisis will cause such a large social unrest in the west that one or two governments will be overthrown, betting on Europe, NZ or Australia

* Plenty of new AI startups will be started, some of them will rise to the level of OpenAI and will be successively acquired by FAANG in the later years

> I had great managers who were very experienced developers (20+ years direct experience developing and still actively programming) and others that relied on a very experienced tech lead or senior developer that they could trust with technical decisions.

And in fact, the latter half of that sentence is what I meant.

I'm currently a software architect and each of the teams I work with has a very senior developer (all of them over 20 years experience). I generally communicate things that are up and coming and leave them alone. 1 of them is kind of terrible at communication so I'll sometimes have to bridge that gap, but otherwise they do just fine on their own.

The other poster claims he won't "allow them to work in a silo". A senior developer doesn't _WANT_ to work in a silo.

A good manager trusts their team and enables them by removing problems. A good manager plays the politics on behalf of their team so they can get work done. Their position has little to do with the software itself because software developers are the boots on the ground, the doers.
