You're underselling the problem which is that they profit off your addiction. Time you could be spending creating art, exercising, or learning a useful skill is instead spent watching an endless stream of junk videos hand-picked for you by the Chinese government.

The average engineer at Boeing makes $120k/year. That's about $50k less than what a new grad with no experience will get from big tech.

Boeing doesn't have a culture problem, they have an idiot problem. The idea that you can hire competent engineers offering salaries like that is absurd.

They need to adopt a pay for performance mentality and bring in managers who are not afraid to fire underperformers.

> errors and unsafe acts will not be punished if the error was unintentional.

No sane organization would ever implement this. If someone repeatedly makes mistakes, they're going to get fired even if the mistakes are unintentional. Anything else is going to cause more safety issues in the long-term as inadequate employees are allowed to proliferate.

This is not a gotcha question. It's a smoke test: something that should be really easy to get right.

This is like building a calculator that can't get 1+1 correct, and then complaining nobody would ever need a calculator to calculate 1+1 so therefore it's an unfair question.

> Google doesn't want to offend or be racist

This is where you're wrong. A non-trivial percentage of Google's workforce does want to be racist and does want to offend.

And despite the fact that this group is a minority in the company, their lack of scruples allows them to have substantial power in setting corporate policy. Since they're willing to play dirty, they get their way more often than the employees who play by the rules.

We didn't allow them to do anything. They're just not accountable to us.

If you've been following Harvard's anti-Semitism drama over the last 4 months, it appears they're not really accountable to anybody. Neither US Congress nor their wealthiest donors have been able to force action from them.

No, the page title is "How an African streaming service dethroned Netflix." And that was also the title posted here originally.

Also, Showmax most definitely does not have more subscribers than Netflix. That is only true if you limit to a specific geographic region. But if you don't state as much in the title, you are lying by omission.

That's a much better title than what was posted originally. You should apply for a job as an editor.

If the streaming service isn't even popular enough to refer to it by name, it has not dethroned Netflix.

Personally I find it depressing. He could have retired years ago to work on a passion project. Why is he still dealing with the soul-sucking internal politics of a mega-corp? Unless he somehow enjoys walking on egg shells all day, it doesn't make sense to me.

I don't understand the secrecy about firing somehow. If I were an employer, I'd want my remaining employees to know that what the fired person did was unacceptable.

I bet you have a hell of a time trying to buy gas. Do you pick Diesel, 85, 87, or 91?

The only thing I like about it is that it makes it easy to know whether I should care about this person's opinion.

Sure enough, the blog post was completely deranged -- to the point that the author even tried to present it as a given that reporting on both sides of an issue is a bad thing. This moron is legitimately mad that modern journalism isn't propagandistic enough. Incredible.

I'd guess the majority of pedestrians who are at fault for accidents are vagrants who can't or won't pay for any damage they cause.

I don't see well-to-do businessmen jumping into the road all that often, but I do see deadbeat beggars do it every day.
