    Just a very sad departure from more humanistic values towards "well technically their legal rights take precedence over common good." Especially that he's an "engineer" not a "Goog…

    This ethos doesn't gel with the old ethos and that's where the disconnect comes from. At one point Google was there to build cool shit and enable people to do it; not extract maxim…

    How do I never see your posts again because it's clear you have more free time than sense on your hands.

    Compensation is usually more tightly coupled with leverage, rather than "work."

    Their infra team is very understaffed and they are reacting to the public backlash of "no 9s?"

    I simply have no idea what you're babbling about. I'm not trying to be rude, but I really cannot parse what you're saying. Simple RAG is fine for very simple workflows, but semanti…

    Vouched, because this was going to be my counterpoint as someone who had the same circumstances as the grandparent. Despite the enormously heinous stuff I've seen on that site, it …

    Background: I work for a PE-owned company and I have friends in PE (associates up to MDs). On your second point: LBOs aren't the only tool in the toolkit, and it's not as popular a…

    One of my best friends is a philosophy grad, and another is a very intelligent financier. What we've come to realize is that speaking and writing and making arguments is fruitless.…

    They're good kickstarts/spark plugs for your use-case. The obesity likely is the main culprit-- if I had to guess. Fat stores act as sites for testosterone to be aromatized to estr…

    Lack of spontaneity, lack of energy, lack of zest -- one could say anhedonia. Dialed me personality down and made me passionless
