Why would pharma not want legalization? At worst, it doesn't affect them. At best, it's another revenue stream.

I worked in undergrad as a research assistant in an astrophysics simulation project and was involved in some of the numerical programming. I found the work very interesting and int…

This debate has been had millions of times. These questions test for some mixture of (1) IQ, (2) communication abilities, (3) willingness to put in the time, and (4) ability to lea…

Google has a bank of vetted questions that can be asked during interviews. It's obviously against company policy to share this information, just like it is against internal policy …

Don't trash talk your current employer while looking for a new job. It's a bad look.

If everything that CodeWithHarry says is true, then I don't see how it's his fault. Also, this doesn't seem like a big deal. Just ignore the spammy emails for a while and close the…

Because your work is owned by Spotify and they can do what they want with it. Yes, it's well within your rights to form one of these internal activist groups that attempts to sway …

The article makes it clear that this is a group that does not have leadership backing. I very much doubt this internal group of staffers is attempting to push back against leadersh…

Joe Rogan is not new, and is only "edgy" to the type of people that can be cut by a pillow.

Why do so many tech employees feel that they're entitled to be arbiters of morality? Tech companies should have the backbone to fire every annoying internal activist group that tri…

The level of police corruption is much, much higher in many other countries. Why are you singling the US out?

Surely the tech-minded folks of HN understand that this doesn't actually occur under any reasonable definition of "active." This article is a clear example of how the media twists …

We've gotten to the point in US culture where many view it as sexist or racist to rally against affirmative action policies that are blatantly sexist and racist.

It's not 100% about money for the employer, either. Human emotions are real and managers aren't just blindly following game theory.

I regularly see promotion and defense of rioting, anti-white racism, and threats of violence from Twitter. Hell, I'll never forget all of the blue check marks saying they wanted to…

Considering they're likely to defund police budget by 50%, I'd say that's very wrong.

They did mention his death, they just didn't mention it was CHOP security that murdered him, or the video evidence of the execution ("Oh you're still alive?" followed by a gunshot)…

Before COVID, I was in the office about 35 hours a week and had about 10 productive WFH hours in the evenings. Since perma-WFH, I "work" for maybe 65 hours and get at most 15 hours…

I'm intrigued by the idea but I have some reservations: 1.) How likely is this to actually happen? Are there any talks with nations for purchasing land? How many members would actu…

Lol, I suggest you don't visit WSB.

I don't think the claim is that social media is inherently leftist, but rather than leftists have mounted attacks on all social media companies that don't actively censor right-win…

Have you used reddit at all within the past 10 years? Yeah, there's some smaller subreddits that have right-wing views, but every frontpage sub leans heavily left. For example, the…

The bar for the tech work activists to not consider a company "evil" is impossible high. It seems like any attempt to actually operate like a business (and actually.. you know.. ma…

You're attempting to shame and villainize people that disagree with the movement, and trying to justify that using meaningless buzzwords like "solidarity". Why should the strikers …

Do you really need to call strike breakers "scabs"? It seems excessive to demonize workers that need job security / don't believe in unions / etc.
