@eigenrobot And the King asked his sages for a phrase that would last for all times and all situations. The wise men consulted for a moment and replied: "this too, is not communicable from elders to their scions"

@Despised__ICON There probably is a liability aspect but Amazon has these interactions at a scale where a fractional % of infraction is a huge headache for them. More banally, it takes a lot of software to keep this content clear of PCI bc your standard controls may not work on free text

[🇭🇰 Silas 🇭🇰 @CrimeaArchivist]

This is not at all related to the possible (un)trustworthiness of the agent and entirely because PCI in free text is a nightmare to deal with

[Despised_iCON ⚡️ @Despised__ICON]

It’s fucking amazing to me that @amazon has the audacity to hire these foreigners, NOT trusting them with data themselves, and then has the balls to warn you about it.

I love legacy code man 15 params 10 return values every fart in the system makes a new dataframe who tf hired these people in 2015?

Job posting:

"100% remote"
"Must live within N miles of city A"

Why are recruiters like this

[🇭🇰 Silas 🇭🇰 @CrimeaArchivist]

@kitten_beloved @ofreacharound No that's a specific response to whether they're hiring to replace

I admit I am suspect of H1B in general for two reasons:
- I do not work with "cream" from the subcontinent
- my own job search last year for positions in my hometown resulted in 0 callbacks from PERM roles

[🇭🇰 Silas 🇭🇰 @CrimeaArchivist]

@kitten_beloved @ofreacharound I don't think that's true! Companies are applying for blocks of visas at the same time as mass layoffs, e.g.

@kitten_beloved @ofreacharound I don't think you can mass-hire "cream" to replace recently fired Americans

However good your pipeline is, you don't find high-end talent in bulk

@perpetuities I went to college with Cheryl. That's "Shur-ul"

@eigenrobot Ultimately it seems important psychologically that dad, mom, and children share a surname

Progs underappreciate that the ultra-wealthy mostly make their money the same way everybody else does and that the difference is mostly scale, not method

Any punitive policy on a method is gonna hit the middle class with strays

[Son of Dr. Spengler (unintentional self-parody) @spengjr]

Progressivism advertises that it will extract from the rich and powerful, but the costs somehow always land on middle-class strivers

@MorlockP For clarity: is the contention that thin culture is all NJ has? To me the culture comment reads as an aside for those familiar with Arnade's other commentary but is not dismissing the notion that thick culture matters
