I've done a couple bay area startup interviews where the interviewer specifically asks for 'personally / family' related anecdotes. With the explanation that they view their company as a literal family and want to make sure candidates would fit in. So I'm inclined to believe OP's description and understanding of the question
I think the perception of America was just as critical, or even moreso, during the GWB presidencies and iraq war. (I imagine nixon and the vietnam war were thought of similarly). There's a tendency for people to have some historical amnesia and think of trump as qualitatively different somehow. But I can assure you that GWB was truly reviled especially in northern europe metro areas, and Americans was viewed then similarly to how it's viewed now.
I stopped reading hn regularly a couple years ago just because the top-voted comments were so reliably negative cynical takes. And not just for articles related to startups.
I guess they take it for the same reason you do. The effects aren't really different in people with ADHD vs people without [0]
> I cannot tell you how much literature there is trying to convince you that Adderall will not help healthy people, nor how consistently college students disprove every word of it every finals season. That makes “only give Adderall to people with ADHD” a moral judgment, not a medical one. Adderall doesn’t “cure” the “disease” of ADHD, at least not in the same way penicillin cures syphilis. Adderall will give everyone better concentration, and we’ve judged that it’s okay for people with terrible concentration to use it to overcome their handicap
I dont think the original series of guided meditations from the headspace founder was aimed at productivity. From what I remember, it's a pretty typical breath- and bodyscan-centered vipassana style. I can't comment on any of the subsequent instructors or lessons though, haven't tried them
I mean, he does like a good rant lol. But this seems like a bad take. The witness came out ~8 years ago, and Braid came out ~8 years before that. Braid Anniversary is launching next week, he's actively developing his language and next game (occasionally streams).
"he's just resting on his laurels now" I think is clearly wrong
Did you watch any of lifecoach's slay the spire streams? He has some very impressive win rates/streaks and is I think much more conservative with potion use than most players.
23% > 20% which means if someone goes into the field of computer programming they're more likely to remain in the field if they are a woman than if they are a man. "remain in the field" is used as a proxy for success.
You could argue about whether or not it's a good proxy for success, but your response sounds like you think women would be more likely to drop out of the field alltogether than men, which doesnt appear to be true
Wish we'd get more articles from actual practitioners using generative AI to do things. Nearly all the articles you see on the subject are on the level of existential threats or press releases, or dunking on mistakes made by LLMs. I'd really rather hear a detailed writeup from professional people who used generative AI to accomplish something. The only such article I've run across in the wild is this one [0] from jetbrains. Anyway, if anyone has any article suggestions like this please share!
Pretty sure most employees would take the side of whatever seems likely to increases the value of their equity the most. Not sure if it's much of a signal either way on whether he 'did something wrong' or not
