It's not "becoming the norm." It's been the norm for decades. And yes, you should not be mad about the norm.

Does Europe not enjoy the benefits of global stability?

I interact with lots of engineers, some who got CS or Math degrees, and some who went to bootcamps. The difference in competence is very noticeable.

These sorts of comments are going to go in the annals with the hackernews people complaining about Dropbox when it first came out. This is so revolutionary. If you're not agog you'…

Correct. You shouldn't decide whether there's a genocide going on in Gaza by consulting official statements from interested governments. You should decide based on independent huma…

What I'm disagreeing with in your statement is the conflation of "real knowledge" with "power." It is true that all the most powerful governments in the West have taken roughly the…

"Everybody in the US's alliance structure agrees that the US's top Middle-East ally is behaving completely appropriately, which is strong evidence that they are. I am very smart."

Lol, they just intersect with the people who are still thinking about COVID. That's all.

I am just repeating what I have heard from people who should know.

Correct. People with no real view on the events in Israel get very excited to sneer at the "spoiled brat" protesters (who just willingly walked away from extremely fat paychecks). …

This is textbook civil disobedience. They believed they could not quietly aid an ongoing injustice, so they loudly protested in the full knowledge they would be punished. This is h…

Of course the protest is about technology -- it's about the provision of technology to governments who use that technology for war. Why wouldn't you expect the employees of these c…

Yes, so it's clearly quite relevant to this board.

To me, modern-day Zionism means two things: 1. The belief that Israel is the homeland of the Jews, and by extension, my homeland. 2. The belief that Israel should remain, legally, …

My understanding is that the protests were closely coordinated with lawyers, and Google will likely spend a ton of $$$ defending the terminations as a result.

Jebe ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jebe ) became one of Ghenghis Khan's top generals after shooting the Khan's horse out from under him in battle. Heart recognizes heart.

It's incredible that on just about every piece I've ever read about Elm since they made that decision, this has been the first, second, and third comment. Wanting to try Elm for my…

Because some people want to buy, not rent them, and you want those people's money....?

It seems like the only solution that's compatible with materialism. If you accept that it "feels like something" to be you, and you accept that your intelligence is just a computat…

She didn't say it's okay. She said that whether it's against Harvard's CoC is dependent on the context, which is obviously true.

It didn't even really happen in FAANG. FAANG employees are still doing extremely well. FAANG companies are still holding onto tons of unproductive headcount which they would prefer…
