> $6.6 billion will end world hunger My understanding is that the only places that are starving is places like Gaza and South Sudan which are poor and actively under attack. Do you…

My explanation for the lack of shared experience is very language dependent quality. I work in Go and it's gotten really really good. I have to pick the right abstraction and it ca…

Ahh, so it was a customer pain point of higher latency so they were happy to see latency go down and throughput go up. Good to hear. Great write up, cheers to the people involved.

Thanks for offering. In the graph labeled "Prod customer throughput: (higher is better)" eyeballing it within a week you are seeing ~2k qps peak increase over the previous week. Op…

Where have you worked? I have been at a lot of places and I have never seen people consistently checking in 2 PR/day every day.

>mandatory ... college level I'm curious what your experience is with the world that makes you think every citizen is capable of completing college level classes. People with an IQ…

A few thoughts. One is that not all of christendom subscribes to the view that it was literally one man, some take a less literal view. Second, a vast majority of human suffering i…

This general consensus is part of why Trump gets support for his recent trade and defense comments and actions. Also, from an economic perspective the US has been successful and ha…

That is awesome. Thank you.

It would be really nice to be able to download the a CSV of voting for each presidential election broken by county or zip code or something of the sort. My google skills are not go…

The US government spent $6.1 TRILLION dollars in 2023. I don't think raising taxes is the solution to the government offering a more competitive wage.

I don't see a world 50 years from now where writing SQL isn't needed.

When the decision is 9-0 and involves Trump it's highly unlikely they created their own meaning.

Our material wealth in the US is way way higher than it was in 1900 but people aren't happier. I don't think I agree that well of people would stop being happy. Unless you want to …

Just because it's widely accepted doesn't mean it's correct. Paywall link Paywall link Makes a slight case but mostly just assumes inequality is bad.

I think it's a big stretch to point to all of those and say wealth inequality is the main reason all of those happen. For example, people were starving around the French revolution…

Your making a pretty broad claim with no evidence. Can you provide some evidence?

Thanks for taking the time to have a thoughtful reply. I think pointing to wealth inequality as the reason there is increasing disconnection is a stretch. Yes it's a factor but I d…

I think a big part of that is age of child birth. If you start having kids at 22 it's straight forward to end up with 5 before you are 35. If you try to have your first at 35+ you …

I got laid off last week. I have had ~40 linkedin messages so far. Turned that into ~10 initial calls. I am waiting to hear from ~7 hiring managers. I hope to have a job offer sign…

I am assuming you haven't spent much time around the kind of people that didn't approve of the vaccine. Let me write out a string of thoughts that support saying empathy isn't a gr…
