I worked on this for a couple years (have been much less active lately), surprised to see it on the front page of HN but happy to answer questions about it.

The shah has said publicly he wants to serve as a one year transitional leader followed by elections. Not sure what more one could ask for.

You're wrong I'm so many ways it's hard to know where to start, but one obvious one is that the teenager who was run over was not an anti-war protestor, he was protesting a potenti…

The shah wants to ally with Israel - Google "Cyrus Accords". So there's no reason for Israel to do anything but support his return quietly.

They're actually not doing that, they're doing the opposite of that, calling to bring back the secular shah to replace their current Islamic theocracy.

I wish Google weren't like this, but I don't agree it should be illegal .

I worked at Google for ten years (as an IC). Here's my personal perspective. Yes, of course, the individual employees know. But the decision making for these kinds of things is usu…

I don't think I'm missing the point. Getting the job is real-world validation that cannot be explained by LLM sycophancy-inspired delusions.

He actually got the job he didn't think he could get.

jj lets you do this with changes that are related.

The hard part I always found without jj (and Fig before it, when I was at Google) was managing a DAG of small changes. What's your git workflow for a change that depends on two oth…

In terms of incentives, Hungary has attempted this with tax policy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_policy_in_Hungary Seems to be working!

IIRC that was a deliberate campaign to make the site unattractive to a spate of non-technical folks who had apparently all simultaneously discovered it.

I'm talking about my actual experience, and I know he was Pakistani because we had mutual friends. He dated one of them. I know exactly who he was. What a bizarre comment. I didn't…

> Why would you want to reduce visas for those that support proscribed "terrorist organizations"? Because they want to murder me and my family.

I hope what this policy amounts to is declining visas to students who support proscribed terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hizballah, broadcast blood libels, harass Jewish stu…
