Bro you're on Hacker News and you don't know how to get past a NY Times paywall. Embarrassing, though unsurprising given your blue-pilled beliefs. https://web.archive.org/web/20250505081209/https://www.nytim...

What do you mean by blue pilled beliefs? And thank you for the archive link, I didn't know you could do it this way. If this surprises you then I'd link to link you this: https://xkcd.com/1053/

By blue pilled I mean mainstream basic bitch beliefs. The type of shit that indoctrinated slaves believe. That may be harsh language to you, but it is what it is. If you're human, I have sympathy for your plight.

You are welcome for the archive link. I already knew what XKCD comic you were going to post before I opened it. The irony is that you don't know the basics of hacking and news, yet want to pontificate on the highest levels of reality. That is evidence of a skill issue, which permeates everything about your life, and resultingly, all your beliefs and writings.

> blue pilled > mainstream > basic bitch > skill issue

The irony of thinking you are edgy and enlightened, while all your beliefs and idioms are exactly the new mainstream norms is pretty funny. The basic-bitchness sneaks on you faster than you can see it coming I guess.

The irony is you are using words, how droll. Very boring take.

> The whole point of a business is that you're paying them to do better than average. ...this is a really interesting idea, but I'm not sure if it's entirely true? If we're talking about a business's core competency, I think the assertion makes sense. You need to be better than your competition. But businesses also need a whole lot of people to work in human resources, file taxes, and so on. (Not to mention clean bat…

Right up until those below average HR people break the law or allow managers to break the law and the company gets in trouble and no scientists or other R&D people want to work there.

I would really hope "not breaking the law" doesn't require an "above average" HR team. As long as it isn't bottom of the barrel you should be fine.

...if I was really cynical, I might say that one of the reasons you might want a "world class" HR team is in order to break the law, or come really close to the line, without getting caught, in a way that increases profits.
