Just speculating here but perhaps those ghost job listings are used to artificially boost the appearance of growth or even just things being business as usual.
Doesn’t necessarily have to be to mislead investors, could be to mislead applicants, competitors, whatever.
I know if my business was shittin’ the bed I wouldn’t want to give any appearance of that. Better to just let everyone think it’s business as usual, no matter what.
Likewise. The guy bought two laptops to compare for a week and returned the one he didn’t like, then later that year did the same thing between two TVs. When he went to return the TV he didn’t want, he was told he was banned from returning any other good to Best Buy and it’s monitored against his credit card.
Perhaps after just two events that might seem a little harsh, but I definitely understand the store's reasoning here. You've got a guy that is pretty much guaranteed to lose you money in the form of his regular auditioning of big ticket items (can't sell that returned item for full price anymore). Why would a store want to keep a customer like that?
I’ve contended since the beginning that final round interviews/power days should always be done in person. This gets tricker with small fully remote firms, but I see no reason a coworking space couldn’t be arranged for an interview
With automated hiring spam and our industry's apparent tenuous grasp of basic integrity with actual HN posts proudly boasting of their apps to help you cheat during interviews using LLMs, several of my friends who assist in hiring at their companies have already returned to "on site" interviews to cut down on the proverbial chaff.
The amusing part is that these are still 100% remote jobs -but the interviews are conducted at shared workspaces.
What’s uniquely American about killing decision makers? Especially morally questionable individuals? Yeah, it’s a garbage way for society to operate but this is an expression of the human condition.
If anything this is a level of action I wouldn’t expect from America.
> Next cookie cutter CEO to be installed will just continue the same shit.
Maybe, but what lays outside their door will always haunt them. There’s no replacement that won’t have this in the back of their mind, and I suspect this is sort of the point.
From the killer’s perspective, this was probably the best case outcome.
The worst case? The decision makers of these companies fear every day. And you know what? Everyone thinks twice when they recognize danger.
After a potential exposure myself the state’s protocol was to capture and monitor the animal. If it displayed symptoms or died, it was assumed positive for my vaccination purposes and would then be tested to confirm.
If it didn’t display any symptoms or die, immunization would be held off. Apparently this depends on the animal you were exposed to and rabies incidence rates in the vector in the geographic area.
In my case, the animal died 2 days later and caused quite a headache.
That was my previous understanding too, but this was the protocol of a large healthcare system.
Their logic was that only symptomatic animals can spread rabies, and once symptomatic they tend to die within a week and display obvious symptoms even earlier.
I guess the risk of delaying 5 days is extremely low, or perhaps nonexistent. At least with immediately recognized contact?
Well, both of those are subjective terms but if it’s effective it’s effective.
The most effective movements are usually a combination of protest and civil disobedience. Considering livelihoods are under threat I wouldn’t condone nor blame anyone for even going one step further.
I don't know if protest actually does work. It can certainly be used to "legitimise" some course of action preferred by one group of elites. But there are so, so many examples of protest achieving nothing at all - or even having the opposite effect.
I know the whole point of cloud services is to pick and choose, but in general I wouldn’t express “outrage” or scoff when comparing Azure to AWS. I recommend Azure to the smallest and leanest of shops, but when you compare functionality matrices and maturity Azure is a children’s toy.
To compare the other way, Azure write blocks target replication blob containers. I consider that a primitive and yet they just outright say you can’t do it. When I engaged our TPM on this we were just told our expectations were wrong and we were thinking about the problem wrong.
The goal of my question was about what are the differences between the two solutions: I know HN is a place where I can read technical arguments based on actual experience.
This one’s on Jack Welch - a pioneer in short term gain over long term building. You absolutely can juice a company’s performance by going dog-eat-dog, but inevitably when the smoke clears you’re left with jackals and hyenas stretched too thin.
Always worth mentioning that this culturally altered America in a way that we’ll probably never unwind.

I think this about a lot of things, such as certain events in politics or generative AI. I'm curious how you apply this to ruthless cutthroat policies at a handful of (admittedly quite large) tech companies?
Might be useful to some folks.
