Human civilization runs on personal sacrifices but money bags will never care about that.

Good thing we’re converting human civilization into money bags at maximum speed, then. Solves all problems elegantly.

Same here, I too feel the same. I don't look as if I am neuro divergent but I am slightly and have radar for others and have begun to tell people, "that person is not late or slow in the mind but that person is simply a neuro divergent and needs to be given chance or looked at differently" lot of neuro divergents have been discriminated against in the past. My one professor used to ask me, "Are you on drugs". No I never have. It's just lack of sleep in college days can otherwise make my lucid brain super foggy

Haha, I can relate. I was once straight up asked if I used cocaine by my caretakers when I was 16. I was simply sleep deprived. And needed sleep bad. My neurodivergence mostly manifests as a sleep problem, in terms of it being a clinical issue. In other areas of life they are simply quirks.

To get the whole discussion of “I have seen this behavior before. I know an addict when I see one”. It was embarrassing. And then to hear “you’re 16 and acting out your puberty”.

Adults are silly sometimes when they are convinced of something, and fucking persistent.


How can a fresher get job when he or she doesn't has any network. Only option is through showcasing their projects but how many hiring managers would be interested in their area of interest

Start your own company around a project idea (or at least the website for one). This will force you to show off what you've done and that you have a basic understanding of how a business works, and it might be enough to get through the recruiter wall. If you spend enough time on it I don't think anyone would blame you for putting it on your resume. If you accidentally find a paying customer, all the better.

Showcasing your projects has gradually become useless too with the proliferation of vibe coded apps.

Thank god. Let's go back to on-site whiteboarding of basic coding problems that can be solved in ~10 minutes.

Hey!

Thanks for reaching out.

It is definitely getting tough in the world of AI and just fierce competition, especially with these dwindling opportunities for graduate or entry level roles.

I think the best chance these days is to have a targeted set of projects that is tuned for small businesses where you can easily reachout to them via Linkedin or similar social channels.

It has to be tailored projects using real data and services like AWS or GCP anything that can be built on top of real life usage in companies will help alot.

With this, you can get a chance to reach out to people in that company that doesn't have to be the hiring manager, just someone that can put a good word in to get you in.


Shaddup. Go do that and show me it works. Also shaddup

Correct word is "hyping" and correct phrase is "taking the populace for a ride"

The article is paywalled so I couldn't read. But my observation as an Indian is that for a few the salaries have sky rocketed. But for most income has declined or is stagnant and combined with inflation there is certainly a dampener on financial freedom. The govt never gives us lucid figures as to how the economy is growing and how much govt funds and effort of govt agencies (India is run by various govt agencies masquerading as business corporations) are diverted to the intense enrichment of the top 100 super rich. A very ironic Indian scenario is that the national census that is going on they ask what company broadband service I use, which company tv I have I have what is my fone number. What is my religion. And the names of my family members. They ask all kinds of privacy defeating questions. But they never ask any health related issue. If my family is suffering from any health or financial distress. Even our census is an excercise in snooping on citizens but the action points that the govt could take those are absent like: 1. Have you been harassed by any govt official (I have not been recently) 2. How do you look at sanitation in your area (it's fine in my area) 3. Do stray dogs pose danger to you (Yes Yes Yes all the way. They are often in packs of 4-8 dogs and are very aggressive especially to women and children and to people walking alone. Walking alone in India is lost due to stray dogs in residential areas) 4. Is your family in health distress? 5. Is your family going through financial distress in the past 2 years? 6. How do you perceive corruption in India? 7. How do you perceive competency in govt agencies and programs? 8. What's your take on pollution. 9. Any thing that you want to suggest to change in India?

You are correct in class 9 physics book in India we have a mention of supersonic planes producing a sonic "boom" so the suprsonic planes don't themselves explode but their fast movement makes the air produce the boom. So you were correct as far as I can tell. But meteors do get smaller and smaller due to extreme friction from air and they do break into several pieces so that can also add to the sound.

Is Fast Mail having human support? Suppose I forget my password or suppose fastmail somehow bans my account then is there a readily available human on the other end whom I can message or talk to. Recently on HN someone posted about a school which lost its 10 years of Google apps data and account with no possible recourse.

Yes: support@fastmail.com

Sorry for not offering any solution but for the future the adage that I learnt while working in a bank in India is, "Online means double work, i.e. don't stop making hard copies of each and everything you do online"

Backups should definitely have been "a thing" with them. I don't handle their IT support (I'm just the dad of a kid who went there 5 years ago), but I've already made some recommendations re: offline backup.

Since I don't use Google's products personally I haven't kept with the state-of-the-art in backup for the Workspace product. For my Customers who use Microsoft 365 I'm using the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 product for this kind of situation. I guess I need to research the kinds of analogous offerings for Google Workspace.


The title is misplaced. The author measured the data only for the resold houses between 2015-2026 and also the emphasis on the word RESOLD. The author cannot generalize the trend for EVERYONE as the title suggests. Because everyone else is happily or sadly living in their own homes for much longer. Only the people who are have bought in this time period have also sold their houses within this time period. What about the people who bought their houses in 2013? Are they still living there or they have sold off and how long did it take for them to sell off? So the author cannot generalize. The author should have made the title as: "Within the 11 year time duration, on an average people stay in their newly bought houses for ten years".


I often think about it. My very very limited experience and exposure tells me people as a group behave insanely. They follow other insane people ravishingly but if you tell them as a group some common sense solution then they will shoot it down or are simply unbothered by it. So maybe just do your thing i.e. throw lot of darts and see what sticks or according to me figure out less sane people who are in attractive popularising positions and persuade them to popularize your product. A famous character artist in India said that most actors in India are heavily insane because the drive that's needed to succeed in the film buisness where the odds are always stacked against you, there only the less sane only have the ample drive to keep trying incessantly. So do search for such kind of influential ppl and you may hit jackpot.
