I hope I'm wrong but I don't think a privacy friendly alternative is going to exist. It's going to go the way of show me your drivers license to use my site.

What happens if / when you eventually find a job? Can you file another change of status to a H1B? Does the status of the original change of status app matter? (e.g., can you apply …

This is great! Thank you. I'm trying to figure out where I can stash the link so I don't forget about it.

Old man yells at cloud vibes. If these services were so devoid of value, competitors will spring up and eat their lunch. Capitalism still works. Silicon valley startups have made t…

Hi - could you tell me a little bit more about the interview process at HRT? Is it your standard FAANG-style leetcode / system design interviews? Or is it more math focused?

faux pas from a time traveler

We're barreling towards an internet that requires an id before you can use it. It's a bit upsetting but I don't harbor the early 2000s naiveté about the free internet where regulat…

FAO: People who're claiming GenAi will replace artist jobs. It might happen but it's extremely difficult even using state of the art models like stable diffusion v6 to get consiste…

I think HN should come up with its own Internet Artifact Museum :) I'm happy to collab if folks want to.

r/cscareerquestions is pretty good even if most people there are the leetcode griding new college grads.

It also seems like you have to be wary of the tax consequences here. Who do you pay on the payroll? If it's a US Citizen in America it's one thing, but if it's anything else, then …

I assume they can manipulate their currency w/o making it obvious. Is there any thing else that might be a problem?

And yet somehow it's better to say transformer models and not AI?

It reads like your standard west coast liberal eat the rich piece. You need more unbiased economic analysis than that.

Big tech would much rather commoditize the telcos and treat them as dumb pipes. You don't have to eat everyone upstream of you, as long as you capture most of the value and leave s…

> They are sitting on too much deposits as is, but even without that fact it is purely greed - or, to use another phrasing, it’s the right business decision for maximizing profits.…

Why don't larger banks (who presumably have hedged properly) not pay a real interest on deposits at this point? I don't think it's just greed. The current bank of america / chase i…

I'm not sure of the mechanics, I know for a fact that most people are moving $ to brokerages and parking it in something like VMFXX (or equivalents in Fidelity etc.) Do you know wh…

I don't think it's that simple. Banks bought up a bunch of US treasuries at close to nothing interest rates during the last two years. This is where a bank typically parks their ca…

It's not worth discussing this because the reasons are well documented. You need to adjust for cost of living, universities, hospitals, non profits don't pay as much etc. There is …

I mean.. sure. There are still more job openings for SWEs than there are SWEs. The inflated comps from the last few years are an outlier, as long as you don't expect that you shoul…

Seems like a home building problem then. Even if you're right (big if given out of country investment from rich Chinese ancestors was the cause of the Canadian housing bubble in th…

You're not going to have doctor salaries for engineers by cutting immigration. Jobs will just move elsewhere.

There was also a lot of propping up of currencies that happened due to dollar strength. A lot of central banks sold UST they held for their local currency to stop currency free fal…
