Then you shouldn't be asking those questions in the first place.

Why do you want a job?, Why do you want to relocate?, Why do you want to work here?, etc. are BS "no-op" questions that are not relevant to the skills that they are promoting.

If an interviewer asks these types of questions, they are literally showcasing that this part of the interview is a BS "Subordinate yourself to the desires of capital in all areas" conversation. You will predictably get the "no-op" answers you asked for.

The interviewer always sets the tone of the meeting. You can't complain when they chose to play along. If you want a real conversation, you need to make it amply clear.

By Reddit's own admission, that's literally 98% of users. Most of the incoming traffic never engage with the post in any way. This is true of most social sites. That's where the term 'lurker' comes from.

You mean like ISPs?

Counter-conterpoint : For now.

A large part of this is due to bilateral agreements and free flow migration. This referendum directly affects that.

It doesn't work as straightforward as that. To have a healthy immigration channel, especially if you want younger/educated/skilled/etc. the pipeline needs to be active and streamlined. Jobs, housing, a well-beaten path that is predictably navigable is incredibly important for a migrant, since they're taking a lot of risks moving there.

If this referendum blocks EU movement, it will choke the pipeline that's filling positions that takes in a high amount of immigrants like healthcare, agriculture, etc. Once it dies out, people may not be as willing to move if they're the one paving the path.

Historically, the US has been quite successful in this area. Migrants from Philippines dominate nursing, Mexico for agriculture and Chinese/Indians for Sotware/Medical.

The migration path has to be vastly superior to their current living for this to work, if they want the same immigration. Or else, it will be mostly people who are truly in a terrible situation who'd be willing to take a chance.

Not really. The underlying rules for Nasdaq has changed.

The preexisting ruleset was used by investors to gauge their portfolio balance.

Now investors have to revaluate their portfolio based on the new ruleset as their fundamental risks have changed.

Do you have to take any medications/follow-ups forever to keep it in place or is a one and done kind of procedure?

Assignments, sure. But if tests/exams are proctored in-person with pen and paper, the students may quickly pivot to traditional learning methods if they want to pass their courses.

- AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role.

And then this person leaves, leaving no documentation or workflow. That's ok though, another ai agent will pick up right back and add slop on top of that until the codebase is a black box interacting with another black box.

Oh and this company handles other people's money? That's going to end well.

The average life expectancy in the 1920s, even in India, was most definitely not 21-25 years. Various sources show the expectancy age as 51-57. This is because there wasn't enough data for this.

Except now you also team up with people who are adept at sales, marketing, accounting, etc. now to form a cooperative instead of a corporation. Maybe workers can get back some of the rights and fruits of their labor.

This is funny, because these exact same things were great filters to eliminate BS candidates. It's always the ones who talk a big game who tend to be the worst when the tire meets the road.

Some of the absolute best candidates were always the ones with a github that hadn't seen a commit in half a decade, nary a presentation or conference mentioned in their cv. This was true at two different FAANGs and a couple of other FAANG-adjacent companies.

It's understandable. Big tech wanted to be part of the military industrial complex, now they get to experience the side effects that come with it.

Exactly! I was in university around that time. Our team project needed a non-public repo for us to sync to. Free/Personal Github at the time did not allow for private repos, so I just used my Dropbox folder as the "server". Worked well enough for a bunch of students to use that as a centralized repo.

That's comparing Apples to tortoises. If an investor wants to invest/gamble on a startup, it's their prerogative. Same as if Bob's uncle wants to give him a small loan to buy into a franchise. I still expect both of them to pay rightful living wages to their employees. Owner's business problems are not the employees problem

What happens when private industry colludes to decide what "market" wages are?

This has literally happened even in Big Tech, leading to lawsuits within the last decade.

If a business can't pay a person working full time to satisfy their basic needs, their business model is not viable. If they can and don't pay so, it's plain exploitation. Ex. Walmart employees can't support themselves and rely on social services despite having a full time job.

Firefox has been far faster for me than chrome ever was (I have way too many tabs open that the same number would make chrome chug). It is also an interesting take to have while defending a browser that is actively hostile to the user.

So you want talented individuals to come in to prop up the economy for decades with their output, but forbid them trying to establish a normal family life in the country?

To be clear, ANY US Citizen or Permanant Resident can eventually bring in some families after an arduous and long process.

This is a non-existent issue with H1-B.

The current wait times for an H1-B from the Rest of the World(ROW) is around 10+ years to be a citizen. For India/China/Mexico, it's around 12-27 years to become a Permanent Resident if they applied for their I-140 before 2020. If they applied after 2020, it's currently estimated at 34-75 years!

Oracle is the one to look out for if/when the bubble bursts. Most of the big tech will be fine, albeit hurting for a while. For Oracle, this might be existential.

Could also be the hack and slash layoffs are starting to show its results. Removing crucial personnel, teams spread thin, combined with low morale industrywide and you've got the perfect recipe for disaster.

What do you do with your phones that it doesn't last more than 24 months? I've had only two iPhones for almost 11 years. An iphone 6s and currently an iPhone 13 mini there entire time. They're solidly reliable

Have you tried cleaning out the lint in your phone's port? For me, that was it and my Mazda CX-5 connects fine every single time after I did that.

Unless your firm is offering a solid paycheck and a 6 month severance package a la Netflix, no rational candidate is going to bet on a place that'll boot you in 3 weeks because they felt "the vibes are off". You'll be self selecting for only the most desperate candidates in the market trying to get a job.

Fun test. 4/10

I never realized how absolutely massive a blue whale can be!

5-7 years isn't that long ago and it was just as terrible back then. Yeah, the same "leaders" now have infected other tech companies with their culture and are actively ruining the industry.

E-1/2/3 visas are treaty investor visas. These are pay to play visas.

We're talking about EB-1/2/3 which are not visas.

O-1 is a real visa, but also really expensive and limited to niche conditions, also not what we're talking about here.

I know this sounds crazy, but Wikipedia is completely wrong calling it a visa. It's a "visa classification", you still need an underlying visa to enter into the country. Most O-1 Visa holders and some H1Bs get classified under EB-1, individuals with advanced degrees, experience get classified under EB-2 but hold H1-B / L1 visas, etc. You can be under H1-B and not have a classification (no PERM).

If you don't believe me try to find an image of an actual EB-1/2/3 visa, I'll wait.

Source : Former F-1/H1B visa holder classified under EB-2, with over a decade of experience dealing with USCIS paperwork.

There's no such thing as an EB-1/2/3 Visa. These are filling classifications for green card processing. 80% of H1Bs fall into the EB-2 category when they file for PERM.

The HN generated headline turns this into clickbait. The actual headline is really ".. White House (says)". This headline just turns it into a qualified fact when it isn't.
