> reduce their outsized power on the political system

Why do you want to take away decision-making power from people who know how to make [a lot of] money?

Because they use that power to make a lot of money for themselves and their friends, at the expense of everyone and everything else. They also often have strange ideas about what's good for people, especially when they start viewing them just through the lens of money - that's how you got slavery, eugenics, debtors prison, forced sterilization, and others.

Multiple dentists found multiple "problems" with my teeths (without me ever complaining).

Fortunately for me, their diagnoses did not overlap with other dentists.

Several years later of me doing nothing (except regular dental cleaning) - I am still comfortable with my teeth.

> Never move to a different country unless you've spent significant time there and you know you enjoy it.

It is not that hard to evaluate a country remotely.

Back in 1999 I picked the US as my destination country.

I moved to the US back in 2003 (as soon as it became possible) - without ever visiting the US prior to that.

I am happy with my country choice and never exited the US since I entered it back in 2003.

It is better not to put business logic into data model - in order to:

1) Keep your business logic simpler.

2) Keep your data model simpler.

If you put both business logic and data model in the same class, then:

- When you investigate data references pointing to your class -- you will see references noise from your business logic.

- When you investigate business logic references pointing to your class -- you will see references noise from your data model.

3) Combined "business logic + data model" class is much harder to refactor.

So, technically, you can combine business logic and data model in the same class.

But practically, such code combining will significantly complicate maintainability of your code.

> but our deaths seem to be ~1k per day

1) Most mild and asympthomatic Covid-19 cases were mostly ignored back in March 2020.

Now more Covid cases are, actually, tested.

That is why "new cases" are significantly higher.

2) Big share of the population already has immunity against Covid-19 (because they were exposed to Covid earlier this year).

That is why deaths from Covid are much lower.

'Not real' is a strawman fallacy argument. The real argument against wearking masks is that Covid-19 is similar to Influenza: a dangerous desease, but still not dangerous enough to spend too much time on wearing masks/social distancing -- and keep living in fear.

The reasoning against wearing masks -- is that wearing masks and social distancing - hurts more than it helps.

> leverage the underdog position into a comeback story

The comback story will need Intel to become more productive with CPU manufacturing R&D. Is there any reason why after such prolonged decline Intel may have a comback?

> the recruiting company started by a famous HN commenter around 2015

... started by 2 famous HN commenters. Why did you chose not to name these HN commenters?

> Consensus seems to lean toward this being satire.

I think "How to interview engineers" is a set of actual Slava Akhmechet's recommendations about hiring, sprincled with occasional satire about hiring games.
