Who “vilifies immigrants”? President Trump is married to an immigrant, as is Vice President Vance. And many of Trumps advisors are immigrants. And he has repeatedly said he wants A…

Immigrants are welcome in America, but we do not have an open border. We have an immigration process that must be followed, just like every other country on Earth. Violating the im…

What “fascism” are we talking about here? A company pulling tampons from men’s rooms? Companies scaling down DEI departments that advocated (probably illegally) in favor of gender …

This is just checks-and-balances at work, is it not? It’s by design.

The comparison here is a slot machine: you pay a a few to play, you pull the lever to play, you win a prize. Here, the payment is your attention, you swipe to the next video to pla…

They’re talking about the algorithm that’s used outside of China being banned in China, not TikTok being banned in the US.

My understanding is there’s a lot of outreach at HBCUs, so you may try that. Also H-1Bs. The joke that white men are all named “Chad” is tired. You’ll notice I didn’t say everyone …

I also work for a big US tech company. If it’s not standard practice, I’m happy to hear it.

I can only speak from personal experience, but since about 4 years ago, every candidate I’ve been asked to interview for a software engineering position has been Black, Hispanic, S…

When I started out, I did read code top-to-bottom. I was mostly self-taught and didn't have a mental model yet of how code was structured, so I relied on this "brute force" method …

Some humans can do it consistently, other humans can't. Versus how no publicly-available AI can do it consistently (yet). Although it seems like a matter of time at this point, and…

Offset by the value of toppling a hostile administration that had him in its crosshairs. Is that worth $XXB? Maybe not, but it's worth something.

> As for integration, I don't see why people who are judgmental. People are judgmental because mass migration from high-crime countries transformed Sweden from one of the world's s…

I'm familiar. Completely transformed New York City in the 1990s for the better. But I'm not suggesting that every law is good. If a law is not enforceable or not a net positive for…

I'm of the belief that if a law exists but isn't being enforced, the only correct course of action is to eliminate the law or start enforcing it. Otherwise, you enforce the law inc…

If all signs in the prison camp were written right-to-left instead of vertically, they probably would have noted that before creating the sign. Especially considering their lives d…

There have been XPRIZE competitions for vehicle efficiency, oil spill technology, more efficient rockets, health sensors, AI systems, genomics, etc. Whether or not quantum computer…

Facebook did it, so they will follow.

If you've been fired, it typically signals you had very bad performance or committed some fireable offense. If you were laid off, you were ostensibly just on the wrong team at the …

I've thought this about Facebook/Meta for so many years now, and I continue to be proven wrong time and time again.

And inexperienced people are notorious for falling for unfounded hype. Eventually they either learn to discern value, which is hard, or just write off hype, which usually works fin…
