I personally don't give a shit about fair use or anything like it, I simply don't want AIs and their handlers (huge tax-dodging megacorporations with trillion dollar market caps that are lee…
comment
In my case my office offers: Horrifically uncomfortable chairs, desks that are fought over because the monitors aren't shitty or flickering or buggy on a select few of them, constantly breaking p…

As a young'un who probably won't live to see a pension judging by how things are going in the world, I'll take a QoL boost NOW instead of potentially maybe one day when I'm 65+ a…

> If you're sitting in an office twiddling your thumbs for 4 hours a day you're not defrauding your employer. So you just want to lord over the minions, even if they're not actually …
comment
> And if they're working an 8 hour work day it's because they're working two remote jobs at the same time. I'd love to see actual stats on this, because I hear it a lot on HN (p…

If you were in the US and someone were to make a deepfake of you saying a racial slur, do you think you'd fair better than if you were a blasphemer in a Sharia country? The religion isn't th…

I'd love to see the code for this app you've made, could you link the repo?
comment
As long as AI-bros are pushing for making AI models seem like more than they are to pad their wallets, there'll be someone like me pointing out that, no, it's not "hallucinating", …
comment
> LLMs radically accelerate the learning process. Absolutely false, at least for students as someone who has to deal with a lot of students. They learn nothing from pasting in a homework problem …
comment
I hate that the AI pundits have succeeded in popularizing the notion of "hallucination", anthropomorphizing these balls of statistics into something that seems like it's actually in som…
comment
You know for once, I'm not even that mad about something like this. Mostly because I literally never do anything on LinkedIn other than once in a month check my messages there. I'd love to s…
comment
These are self-reported , though. I wouldn't tell my boss or my colleagues the job I do is useless for hopefully obvious reasons, but when I really think about it in the grand scheme of things i…
comment
Okay, and what about all the other people who aren't blessed enough to be SWEs? They should just rot and go into medical debt for the rest of their lives for daring to get sick?
comment
How is it partisan? They mentioned no parties or politicians. What they said applies equally to all politicians regardless of leaning.
comment
That's my mistake then, since I've never worked at a company here that didn't compensate you and assumed it was a given! I can no longer edit my comment unfortunately, otherwise I'…

Well I don't have to pay for any transporation, 'cause my employer can't decide on a dime to force me into the cage 5 times a week ;) I also only live a 15 minute bike ride away, rather…
comment
I find it crazy that this isn't the case in the US every time I see this topic come up. You always hear about all the benefits of working for a FAANG, but they're too cheap to even cover cos…
comment
If we're doing anecdotes, my company in NL lets teams decide on their work schedule, and most people choose WFH 3/5 days, with some people (myself) doing full remote except for some Fridays …
comment
I'm only 26 and I'm also perhaps falling into the "old man yells at clouds" thing, but this feels different to me. Not Mr Beast by himself perhaps (never watched anything he's…
comment
> Do you really think people are just blindly pushing code they can't make heads or tails of? That they haven't tested? Yes, most definitely. I've recently been introduced to our CTO…
comment
The IRS isn't comparable to this case because there's 2 entities at play, the Irish tax authority and the EU's. I'm not too familiar with how exactly it works in the US so excuse t…
comment
And if you don't like treating employees with a modicum of respect, then you deserve a union to put you in your place. Good luck with the business when people refuse to be taken advantage of. It&…
comment
You think joining a union makes you a cog? Have the mass layoffs every single year taught people nothing? Newsflash, every company treats every single one of their employees as another replaceable c…
comment
Always love seeing the temporarily-embarassed-billionaire-CEO type on HN espousing anti-union views. Such a fascinating indoctrination happening there every time.
comment
Yeah the greediest company on the planet is definitely going to pull out of the 2nd largest market on the planet. I'm sure the psychopaths who only care if line goes up are going to be real happy…
comment
The 30% ruling isn't specific to ASML, it's a general tax credit you get if you're a non-EU national that moves to the Netherlands (plus a bunch of other conditions) on a sponsored work…
comment
If I were an Irish citizen paying taxes I'd be incredibly pissed that my own government is fighting against 13 billion from the richest company on the planet. I'm subsidizing fucking Apple…

Also seems to be a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41498358 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41498377 …
comment
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it, it's not really like Ireland is demanding Apple pay suddenly, the EU is saying that Apple owes Ireland the 13B and has to make up the lo…
comment
I've got the instinct and couldn't be happier with it. Definitely going to be rebuying/upgrading to whatever is next if it ever bites the dust, which it probably won't for a long t…
