Deltionsjsj commented on Facebook janitors laid off as Silicon Valley service-worker cuts continue   marketwatch.com/story/alm... · Posted by u/bratao

I know HN hates Facebook (I don't like them either), but isn't a simpler explanation that:

A lot of people are working from home, so there's less use of office facilities so there's less janitorial work needed, and whoever Facebook contracts this cleaning work to, decided to cut some staff.

I just don't see Facebook's savings as significant enough for Zuck to think about this.

The hate comes what sucker rep does to society.

The angel that fb is bad to people who work for them is something I didn't came across.

And it doesn't make sense anyway. You don't want unhappy service stuff as it is a security risk to underpay them while having a ton of access.

Weren't GPU manufacturers going out of their way to prevent people from using their GPUs to mine?
Deltionsjsj · 3 years ago
They did this only for alibi reasons.

Everyone Noncrypto is a long term customer getting the middle finger from them because they used the opportunity.

For sale of argument, let's say you were paid half what you currently are, same company/manager/etc.; would you still put in as much effort?

One unfortunate reality is that programmers or other programmer-adjacent jobs tend to be paid quite well, and as such the "work equal to pay" mindset is a bit strange compared to normal office jobs. I've personally known someone at my job, which paid me let's say $X, and paid them $⅓X for us both working on the same project. Surprise surprise, that person put in minimum effort necessary to get the job done, and has since left the company for another that is paying them closer to $½X.

Yes.

I started with a very low salary and basically climbing the ladder slow and steady.

With my attitude and I do believe I'm climbing that ladder because of it.

You need to be ready when opportunities arrive.

> Paying monthly for local software feels bizarre to me.

I don't like it either but it is actually quite common, Adobe makes a killing doing just that.

Deltionsjsj · 3 years ago
Adobe is adobe.

And for the normal adobe person this made high end adobe products suddenly affordable.

PS was 1k while you get it now for 10-30$ / month.

Only two mayor issues with this shit is Lightroom as it got slightly more expensive for seldom users like me and the fact that you can't subscribe to it monthly.

Adobe took the best things from both worlds.

Usually the UniFi dome APs propagate their signal in a kinda bubble shape up and out. I think he should be OK unless he’s on a top floor.

UniFi has an app called WiFiMan that’s easy to use for checking signal strength.

Deltionsjsj · 3 years ago
The bubble shape still is affected by his setup.

I had the same complained and would not put my AC in such close proximity to metal sheets.

It would also be an easy fix to just turn it around and put the AP on the bottom after rotating the metal frame

Im quite active in my work. Taking ownership thinking about how to solve issues, lean and clean, good documentation etc and if I would only do minimum work, I would neither learned that much nor would I have the experience which allows me my carrier I have.

And yes I'm still only working full time but my salary is now nearly half as much as a lot of 'normal' people who did not spend the time like I did.

And I will continue to work like this.

Of course I'm not 100% sure if or how much of my own IQ has a part in this or that it(all of it) is my hobby as well but still.

And if certain things are not valued money wise Ina prev company, I still had enough to show to the new company.

If you like your work and you are good at it, it's more fun, you gain more privilege and when you optimize yourself away you have either tons of R&D time or can take the next challenge.

But your manager will seldom Loos a person like this.

Why is the assumption that crypto has held back innovation? If anything normally pumping a ton of money into something causes more innovation to happen.
Deltionsjsj · 3 years ago
No one needed crypto to by GPUs.

GPUs were and still are in high demand anyway.

Crypto blocked real innovation for years.

Nvidia was spending money, time and energy to cater to them one way or the other instead of other areas were GPUs are actually good for society.

Your sentence is very generic and not sure why this should be an universal law. Putting money into the right thing might cause innovation not just money
