  • ‘There is profound disappointment in him’: mood in Russia turns against Putin

    Jump

  • that attracts garbage articles and clickbaits.

    So it is clickbait. I understand that it’s our fault for being filthy numbskulls who want quick solutions. But we agree it is clickbait.

  • ‘There is profound disappointment in him’: mood in Russia turns against Putin

    Jump

  • While you’re right that these things happen over time, there are often sudden watershed moments where the change becomes much more obvious than before, and those can precipitate more sudden actions to follow. Not everything is a slow forever burn with slovenly people like me yawning on the sidelines crying “borrring!”

  • ‘There is profound disappointment in him’: mood in Russia turns against Putin

  • I’ve been hearing about how Russia is about to collapse economically, lose the war, and watch Putin die from cancer for… years now. It’s just clickbait at this point.

  • The White House is ordering U.S. agencies to place its new app on all employees’ government phones

  • This is a rage bait headline for the masses who don’t understand what it means to have a work-issued phone.

  • As I have one for work which is not my personal phone. And it is totally enterprise-managed so they put whatever apps they want on it and block anything they want. It’s their phone essentially. This headline seems like a nothingburger to me.

  • Wonderful article. A long anecdote to introduce the topic and then a paywall before you reach the useful information of what the fuck drowning DOES look like.

  • Cisco announces record revenue and 4,000 layoffs in the same day

  • It’s not.

    What I meant was you can dismiss people for poor performance, but that’s the only valid reason. You cannot lay people off in Japan in the sense of “we cut the budget and decided we don’t want to employ you anymore.”

    However, that said… if you want to lay someone off, you can jump through a million hoops. I have seen people relegated to ridiculously inappropriate roles to convince them to leave. You can also mess with non-salary compensation if you want. And you can offer generous severance. And maybe you can convince people to let you “lay them off.”

  • Sure, transactional SEM either works or it doesn’t and you know if it does. Brand marketing and advertising is a completely different ballgame. Being at the top of the searches when people are buying your product type is one thing. Buying a Super Bowl ad is another.

    'Everyone is unhappy': Meta employees describe a grim environment as the company reportedly prepares to axe roughly 8,000 workers

    Jump

  • I knew more than many that worked there, just by actually reading their terms, and understand the mindset behind them.

    Yeah okay, guy. You know more about it than people with direct experience. In fact their direct experience only clouds their minds!

    You have a dangerous kind of arrogance. The kind that makes you think you know what’s best for others more than they do just by your piercing insight.

    You also patently don’t understand how to read a TOS. They are by design incredibly over-reaching and self-interested to the exclusion of the rights of others. This is a legal fiction they reserve in advance so that no matter the eventuality, they can claim you agreed to it. It represents the uttermost limit of what they can imagine. Not the center of gravity of what it’s like to work there.

    Anyway, I don’t need to hear more about how your insight penetrates the world from the comfort of your chair.

  • Let’s just define all the degrees of knowing anything:

    1. you have used Facebook.com and read a bunch of headlines about Mark Zuckerberg (this is 99.9% of people and certainly almost everyone in this thread).
    2. you work in the same industry as Facebook so you hear things and have some frame of reference for them
    3. you work in the same industry and have actual friends who work there
    4. you work in the same industry and have friends who work there and have visited on site
    5. you have worked there yourself for a brief time
    6. you have worked there for a long time
    7. you have worked there for a long time and other places in the same industry so you have a frame of reference

    So yeah. I’m not a #7, just a #4, but this is a few degrees past #1

    But my point is not to argue that I know so much, just that the vast majority of people who think they can see everything from a million miles away are full of shit. They don’t know what they don’t know. I don’t know everything, but I at least have a sense of how much most people don’t know.

    Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents have one year to find new power as their utility pivots to data centers

  • We went through that phase. A couple of vibe-coding douchenozzles had our management convinced that everyone can ship code now. They launched a whole initiative to get product managers and UX designers deploying. It failed. Then they dialed it back to “cosmetic fixes only” that aren’t worth an engineer’s time. Now they realize that having uneducated PMs using AI to ship code is actually slower than that PM asking an engineer to use AI to ship code. So we’re back to having distinct functions again. All that really matters is that someone in the chain is using AI to accelerate the process, and the engineers turn out to be so much better at it than anyone else that we now just let them work.

    Software Developers Say AI Is Rotting Their Brains

  • What you said is fine for people learning, but there’s nothing wrong with having AI do something for you when you’ve done it a hundred times and don’t want to do it again. Some of us are actually out here working, not just learning.

  • I don’t doubt that in some situations, when everything else is primed - the product is good, the market is there, and awareness is the only thing lacking - advertising can make a difference.

    For every anecdote like your friend’s, though, I can produce a hundred where millions just went into a hole for absolutely nothing.
