FAANGcel here. Subpar ethnicity. Never had s*x, learned to code at a young age. Math and programming competitions, 1 leetcode every day since college junior year. What a waste. The big companies are mostly job programs. The small pockets of smart people are fart sniffers who don't actually do anything useful but rewrite the dataplane in rust because why not. Startups are mostly the same. Scamming investor 
money until they can dump it onto the next bag holder. The irony is that the author of the article I linked is himself a scammer who has shipped relatively little. Makes you want to unalive yourself when you realize you are but another strag to kindle the cash burning fire.

Company Supplying Thousands of Tech Workers to Silicon Valley Discriminated Against Non-Indians, Jury Finds - 32
- 101
A company that supplies thousands of workers for Silicon Valley's technology industry and other Bay Area employers intentionally discriminated against non-Indian workers, a jury has found.
The jury verdict against Cognizant, founded in Chennai and now headquartered in New Jersey, came Friday in a class-action lawsuit that revolved around claims the firm abused the H-1B visa process. The visa is intended for workers with specialized skills, and Silicon Valley tech firms rely on it heavily to secure top talent and also to obtain workers for lower-level jobs via Cognizant and other staffing firms.
Three U.S.-born workers described in the lawsuit as "Caucasian" — Vartan Piroumian of California, Christy Palmer of Arizona and Edward Cox of Texas — sued Cognizant in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles in 2017. Another plaintiff described as Caucasian, Jean-Claude Franchitti, a green card holder from France, joined as a plaintiff later.
The lawsuit claimed Cognizant ousted many non-Indian workers by first taking them off projects and "benching" them without work, then keeping them benched until firing them in accordance with a company policy.
Federal government data show Cognizant obtains H-1B visas for hundreds of Indian citizens to work in Bay Area jobs per year, said Ron Hira, a Howard University professor who studies the visa and testified for the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. {snip}
The H-1B has become a political flashpoint. Critics point to abuses including replacement of U.S. workers by visa holders, while the tech industry lobbies to boost the annual cap on new visas past 85,000.
The most recent research, by the Bay Area Council, showed nearly 60,000 foreign citizens on the H-1B were approved to work for Bay Area companies in 2019. The vast majority are from India.
Because of Cognizant's preference for Indian workers, it seeks as many visas as possible, and the company has become a top recipient of H-1B visas by submitting visa applications tied to "jobs that do not exist," the lawsuit alleged.
Franchitti, with a PhD in computer science, was hired in 2007, and in his nine years at Cognizant as a director and executive, witnessed the company's preference for Indians on visas, the lawsuit claimed. When he secured new business for the company, his manager "would staff the client projects with visa-holding employees from India, rather than non-Indian members of Mr. Franchitti's group who were already in the U.S. and available for this work," the lawsuit alleged.
Franchitti was fired in 2016 after complaining repeatedly that he was being made to sign hundreds of fraudulent invitation letters supporting H-1B visa applications for jobs that didn't exist {snip}

This form of email verification, much like /biz/'s modified email verification, requires the user to wait 15 minutes to post, or verify their email. At least there's a way to skip having to wait 300 seconds (if a thread) or 60 seconds (if a reply), but I tried verifying with protonmail and it took nearly a minute to send the email.

Quote from the article
Hunt told BleepingComputer that the threat actor shared the Internet Archive's authentication database nine days ago and it is a 6.4GB SQL file named "ia_users.sql." The database contains authentication information for registered members, including their email addresses, screen names, password change timestamps, Bcrypt-hashed passwords, and other internal data.
The hackers added a message saying "See 31 million of you on HIBP!" (Have I Been Pwned)

Another tweet
Archive.org is temporarily offline. It was also suffering from a DDOS attack. The Internet Archive made a statement about the DDOS attack but not the hack.
https://nitter.poast.org/internetarchive/status/1844134181451989331#m
Yesterday's DDOS attack on @internetarchive repeated today. We are working to bring archive.org back online.
https://nitter.poast.org/Sn_darkmeta/status/1844080692772401399#m
The BlackMeta hacktivist group claimed to be behind the DDOS attack because the US supported Israel 
They are under attack because the archive belongs to the USA, and as we all know, this horrendous and hypocritical government supports the genocide that is being carried out by the terrorist state of "Israel".
Update (02:18 UTC): It's back online. Update tweet is below.
https://nitter.poast.org/brewster_kahle/status/1844183111514603812#m
What we know: DDOS attack–fended off for now; defacement of our website via JS library; breach of usernames/email/salted-encrypted passwords.
What we've done: Disabled the JS library, scrubbing systems, upgrading security.
Will share more as we know it.
Edit 2: Screenshot of a deleted tweet by BlackMeta

The Internet Archive is also down again. More update tweets:
https://nitter.poast.org/brewster_kahle/status/1844326137499177312#m (October 10, 10:36 UTC)
Sorry, but DDOS folks are back and knocked archive.org and openlibrary.org offline.
@internetarchive is being cautious and prioritizing keeping data safe at the expense of service availability.
Will share more as we know it.
https://nitter.poast.org/brewster_kahle/status/1844485102312751421#m (October 10, 21:08 UTC)
Update: @internetarchive's data has not been corrupted. Services are currently stopped to upgrade internal systems.
We are working to restore services as quickly and safely as possible.
Sorry for this disruption.

To create a digital avatar, you'll need to record an initial video of yourself that Zoom's AI will use to make an avatar that looks — and even sounds — like you. From there, you can write the message you want your AI avatar to say and then have it do all the talking for you. This feature will only work with Zoom's Clips feature, allowing you to record brief video updates for your colleagues.
The custom AI avatars are rolling out early next year as part of Zoom's custom AI Companion add-on, which will cost an extra $12 per month.
You know that HR losers and middle managers who need to fill their day by looking productive are going to love this shit.

tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama
Normie shit everyone already knows about
Anything that doesn't gratifify one's intellectual laziness
Bimothy-tier posts
Anything that the jannies don't like
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
