> People coming here and extracting value from the economy to send home is also a problem. What about the American rich extracting wealth overseas? Vacations, real estate, yachts c…

Counter argument: Every crypto coin is, more or less, the same. Sure there's some underlying difference in how they work (proof of stake vs proof of work) but they don't do anythin…

I think you might be surprised at the distribution in wealth even within schools. Only an anecdote but I went to a public high school in somewhat of an inner city, and there was a …

I can think of one: If they can improve AI such that it doesn't cite fictional case study, poor people might get actual/better representation in court. The majority of court cases …

I think the question is what are the tangible benefits people would actually pay for? Social media companies have the incentive to figure out how to make more money from their prod…

I think it depends on use cases and advancements in our understanding of time's effect on the DNA captured. I.e. I could imagine that in the not too distant future, we know that DN…

Society? People who want their fellow citizens to work toward greater goods collectively?

It's your job in interviews to accurately describe your abilities and talents. It's the company's job to determine if that's the right fit for them. If they sent you an offer, I'd …

You're completely missing the point of the person's comment... The top comment is asking why girl's perform better, and yet and under-represented in top tier jobs. The comment you …

Two things that I'd need explained to trust this take: "Often, the data are in the hands of Democrat politicians and bureaucrats who refuse to make it available." 1) The Georgia SO…

Depends on the country. In the US (as I understand it) a key component to being charge with a monopoly is you have to show that consumers/users are negatively impacted. Philosophic…

Admittedly I haven't read tons of scientific research on this topic, but whenever the topic of diet/exercise comes up, I often find the way the question is researched to be lacking…

What do you mean by this? What unrelated causes are people dying from that aren't exacerbated by COVID? I've heard this argument before but it's never made sense to me. If you have…

"or more like always had it AMD it just now surfaces due to the mental stress put on you by having covid" FWIW I found this study while trying to find the original study: https://w…

I'm not even sure I believe this anymore. Seeing how many people out there believe masks are BAD for you makes me skeptical that most people will actually get the vaccine...

Option B sounds far more likely to stick around the company for a long period of time, option A sounds more like the type to leave after 1-2 years for something more "attractive".

But then there's nothing stopping American workers from moving to cheaper COL places and still competing for these jobs. And with reduction in salary costs, the product becomes che…

I will gladly take some amount of a pay cut to move out of the Bay Area, but obviously it's very dependent on how much that is. 15% less to live in Lake Tahoe? Yea, I'd probably do…

If people can work remote and don't have to commute, that's quite a bit of time saved that could be used getting involved in your local community. I couldn't disagree more that thi…

This is my experience as well, atleast among younger employees. Presumably the older employees that have kids don't have as much time for hobbies/passions like that.

Because it's hard to drive change if there isn't a "need". Going into the office is the status quo, and there wasn't any real pressing drive to change/innovate there. Now that comp…

"I see a slow shift from treating ICs like people with differentiated skillsets to undifferentiated drones. I think that rarely works out for the employee." I see it as the opposit…

"I think it’s much more likely that, rather than empowering employees to live rich and fulfilling lives outside of work, a massive shift to remote will drive down wages everywhere …

I've read a few of these work from home related articles here on HN and I have to say, I'm super surprised by how many people are both vehemently against the idea of remote and gen…

Probably because of the Boring Company press about building tunnels under the city.
