> Sure, but I think the point of this thread was (or should be) what can be done in the US to resist this.

I read that as "we're not going to sit with the uncomfortable implication that the places being held up as policy exemplars are also the places criminalizing speech."

Holy survivorship bias Batman, and yeah, nice punchy AI sentences you got there.

Wow.

No, they forfeited their freedoms and we're put away by due process, but if that's your point of view then we've nothing further to discuss. Incredible stuff on HN these days.

Don't you suppose that it's "fair" to request compensation for the room and board if the person is making a "fair" wage?

Source?

This is a patently absurd observation and you didn't even bother to offer an anecdote, as if that would make a difference anyways.

I can't tell if you're agreeing or not?

I'm not asserting anything about if a manager should code, but rather calling out a statement in the article. A good engineering manager should never be surprised by some new functionality.

> If you mean being the primary implementer of features, then probably not.

It's my belief that any engineering manager worth their salt should push back on this and argue for a seat at this table, every single time. I don't want to work for someone who is disinterested in new functionality in codebases under their purview.

The base is now 64gb which should be plenty for any student. If not, iCloud is very affordable.

This is a meme comment by now.

I've been using an iPad Air (with Paperlike) for the past 4 years for basically running my life at school, and I can't imagine going back to working with actual paper for daily note-taking and homework assignments. It's great for reading whitepapers and marking them up while laying on the couch.

That functionality by itself justifies its existence in my estimation.

The mark of a good engineer is knowing when this sort of handwaving is actually meaningful and helpful. Formality for its own sake is anti-pattern, but who am I telling?

Surely there is some critical threshold that indicates that we can reject the hypothesis that fascism isn't happening?

Mind clarifying precisely what you mean by this?

> Credit Suisse here in Switzerland used to only hire PhDs for programming positions. It didn’t matter what the PhD was in - they’d train you how to program.

> Note: credit Suisse collapsed a few years ago and now no longer exists.

So you're saying that was a sound strategy on their part
