Thank you for making and sharing this! It's fun to quickly increment the column counter and spot repeating patterns over time — little spiral movements, big swinging lines.
Growing up I loved math's logic puzzle elements, but it got tough when presentation of the subject became more abstract in late high school and college. Visualization tools like this would have gone a long way toward making the concepts concrete and keeping me curious about the relationships behind the symbols.
I started noticing this behavior a few months ago and whew. Easy to fix if the individual cares to, but very hard to ignore from the outside.
Unsolicited advice for all: make an effort to hold onto your manners even with the robots or you'll quickly end up struggling to collaborate with anyone else.
I dunno about that, the HN community has had a curmudgeonly streak as long as I've been a part of it (~15 years). Not exclusively, but... persistently!
Ehh, this take feels ungenerous to me. You don't have to believe a private firm is a holy order for it to benefit from a culture filled with "we believe this specific project is Important" people vs "will work at whatever shop drops the most cash" people.
Mercenaries by definition select for individual dollar outcomes, and its impossible for that not to impact the way they operate in groups, which is generally to the group's detriment unless management is incredibly good at building group-first incentive structures that don't stomp individual outcomes.
That said, mercenary-missionaries are definitely a thing. They're unstoppable forces culturally and economically, and that could be who we're seeing move around here.
Where broker’s fees are concerned, up-front cost is typically first and last month’s rent, plus the broker’s fee, which can be as low as one month’s rent or as high as 15% of the annual rent total (almost twice the cost of a single month’s rent).
Apply the rules above to whatever the average rent is for a given neighborhood, and there you go.
There’s nothing about a “fight the status quo” mentality that inherently favors authoritarianism and it’s not helpful to claim otherwise.
That said, it is helpful to remember both knowing- and unconscious authoritarians will twist any framework into an excuse to establish and flex authority — that’s their whole modus operandi, after all.
