It's not that no one cares; it's that these stories are flame bait, and off-topic for Hacker News. Yet this seems to be all that you ever post about, despite the fact that your posts keep getting flagged.

Why do you think this is appropriate?

Okay, so what did you get from Drucker?

Drucker is a joke. A management "expert" who never ran a company. The fact that he is a hero to the sociopathic managerial elite says it all.

This is a barely-disguised job ad for a (likely unpaid) internship position at a YC company. Flagged.

Also, it's a clickbait title. The actual article content is more like "how to become a barely competent junior programmer", written by a kid 5 years out of school who thinks he's "senior".

It's called sarcasm, people.

Thanks for sharing the lecture, from watching the first 1/3 or so it looks very interesting.

Do you have any pointers to an introduction to Sāṁkhya and Nyāya philosophy that might be good for beginners? Specifically people with no prior experience with Sanskrit or Hindu philosophy?

There are basically two things you get by pursuing an MS instead of just picking up the same knowledge on your own: (1) more structure and (2) a credential. (Okay, three: if you're junior, it's a way to continue building your network. But this isn't relevant for you.)

It sounds like you see value in (1). You're a little unclear on whether you want (2), since first you say your goal is not career progression, but then you ask how this is viewed by companies and recruiters.

From the perspective of someone who has been in the position of screening and interviewing technical candidates, both ICs and managers, most MS degrees don't add a lot to a resume IMO. If it's from a mid- or low-tier school, or an online program, I don't really put much stock in the quality of the program. Even upper-tier schools more and more give off the perception that you're just paying for a credential. I would say that if you have the motivation to learn the material on your own, and then put it into practice in a demonstrable way in your actual work (which seems like something that should be tractable, given your role), that would have more value.

On what metrics of search quality is Kagi "orders of magnitude" better than Google?

"death rattle"

> essentially everyone in my social circle has moved on from going to Google first for information. I guess our demographic is not predictive of the larger market.

"Google is dead, no one goes there anymore" is one of the most tired takes I see frequently on HN. It's nice to hear someone express the self-awareness to realize that what they see in their immediate circle is not representative of reality.

Home owners vote at higher rates than renters.

Parent comment said "Repealing Prop 13 and removing local control of zoning decisions can be done via votes in the legislature". I don't know if that is true or not, I'm responding to that premise. Either one of you could help the discussion by providing a source backing up your conflicting claims.
