At least the Methane curve isn't accelerating? I think? Guess we need a derivative graph to really tell.

Praying the Clathrate gun hypothesis isn't applicable.


you can go to a meetup and not drink, nor smoke, nor hit on people?

If you're hit on yourself, politely decline, and strike up a different topic of conversation.

Most of the meetups I attend are not "glorified pickup activities".

There are also plenty of nerdy meetups. Some of the biggest nerds I know I've met through board game and trivia meetups.


Most un-American 142 intelligence operatives to ever exist.

nor the engineers? When I read the agent escaped from its box I couldn't believe monitoring didn't catch it immediately

Likely they don’t have the proper monitoring built out because management is deprioritizing it in order to move faster. I think most engineers across the industry are facing similar pressures to try to pump stock prices above all else. It’s a tale as old as the megacorp itself.

Why does every article have to start with a biography these days?

It's the NPRificiation of everything. I had to stop listening to BBC Radio 4 because most documentary programmes have basically just become This American Life with British accents.

Where would you have started? I've had about five drafts of this piece and kept walking away saying "why does anyone care?"

This was the first shape that seemed to have a kernel where if you related to as a reader, I thought it was a good indication that you'd enjoy the whole piece.

Well, that's how I read the comment I was responding to, which insulted the author's writing style right to his face.

I thought the commentor might like to see how it feels to be on the receiving end of that.


Responding to an insult with an insult isn't likely to do any good, and is against HN's rules.

None of the above companies have what I would consider to be high salaries relative to their tech peers.


He doesn't look a day over 90!

I love factorials

194 is the new 90 apparently

I dont think it has as much to do with that as it does rising expectations from leadership to just ship MORE.

MORE MORE MORE like AI has given executives an excuse to ratchet up performance expectations by at least 3x (as in my company) up to 10x for certain start ups I've heard.

There's literally not enough time for a human to do all the activities around quality they were doing even a year ago.


I came back to RS a couple years ago and made macros to run on my account by clicking the screen at specific coordinates to do some of this.

I know there's a bot problem but I only did it for my one paid account - purely for the reasons you described because otherwise I'd never get to an upper level account.


So when do we get to shutting down the internet?
