There are parts of the tech industry culture I dislike, but its definitely not endless meetings, micromanagement, and coworkers who work extra hours. Especially with regards to meetings and micromanagement, which I see the tech industry as having a very low amount of either compared to other industries.


I think there was also similar reports with Apple recently. There was some kind of emergency hotline contact or something like that where authorities could request information where it was extremely time sensitive (I think the example given was human trafficking? although my memory was hazy), and they would be provided information without a warrant.


Terrible behavior from Apple. Like petulant children.


Thank you for the article, although I don't tend to be too disparaging about these types of ingredients (I think) it's always a good reminder to be open minded and aware that you don't know others situations. And on top of that there's absolutely nothing wrong with making tradeoffs for convenience...and its also not necessarily good to take what people claim are tradeoffs as absolute truth.


You just need to them explain how sweat works. Sweat evaporate -> cool skin -> cools internal temp. Humidity high -> sweat no evaporate -> internal temp increases.


Temperatures are already unbearable in South Asia when there are heatwaves. It's estimated ~1500 people per 3 days of heat wave in Bangladesh. An increase in the average by 1 or 2 C could have very serious effects.

This is the second week in 8 years in which the xbox outsold the PS5 in Japan. So this isn't overall sales - the title is somewhat misleading.

E: outsold a playstation, not the PS5


PS5 and Xbox Series X/S were released less than 2 years ago. I guess you're talking about the Xbox and PlayStation brands in general. Also, the article says it's the second week this year.


It's both the second time this year, and the second time in 8 years that Microsoft sold more Xboxes in a week than Sony sold PlayStations. Before that, the last time was the week the Xbox One launched in Japan. Even then, they only sold more than each type of PlayStation individually, not total.

You are correct, thank you.

If you click the link about the other week this year, that's where the 8 year figure is mentioned.


If you read the article EY have been ordered to retain two independent consultants in response to this.

>The SEC has ordered EY to retain two independent consultants to help remediate its deficiencies. One will review the firm’s policies and procedures relating to ethics and integrity. The other will review EY's conduct regarding its disclosure failures, including whether any EY employees contributed to the firm’s failure to correct its misleading submission, the SEC said.


And who is going to audit the independent consultants?


Its pretty disappointing that your comment was dead and I had to vouch for it.


NeutronStar was banned in 2018 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17553252


So you're saying all their comments are automatically dead until someone vouches for them? Or just he was downvoted on reputation?


> automatically dead

a technique known as 'shadowbanning'


"Shadowbanning" is if you do that without telling the user that they are banned, with the goal of them not realizing they are banned for a while so they waste time instead of trying to circumvent the ban.


That was a proposed background but Tolkien never decided what their true background was.
