I think there is a fundamental idea that the only way to measure success of companies is the monetary value to shareholders. US companies optimize for that and they cannot believe …

Neurodivergent is not just one thing. Are there people on the autism spectrum at leadership level? - Steve Jobs was considered to be one even though he was not formally diagnosed a…

I guess you have not been to LinkedIn in a while :) The fact he did not even spot the actual problem is worrying. Did someone know that the button color was changed in the new vers…

I do not remember where I read this, but it has struck with me for the last 35+ years - "Poverty is a crime, but the poor are not guilty of it". I have seen abject poverty growing …

Looking at the graph in the article, it starts falling off from 2010 and it is actually on a uptick in last year. A honest reading would be that internet has increased access to in…

As in, you witnessed 5 murders or 5 people you know got killed/happened near you etc? If so, I do not know how to tell you that this sounds insane..

From what I am reading, that is not the final price.. that is the room price and they add a ton of fees to that price

Winning is different from taking over.. Russia wants to rule over Ukraine, not destroy it. US was all into destroying Afghanistan and Iraq. They had no intention of being there lon…

You know senior developers can also be off-shored, right?

A tariff across the board is same as a sales tax (rather a value added tax, as it is dependent on the value of goods). I would love to understand why you think it is punitive for t…

Where does it say logistics shortage? A shortage of mercy and empathy is more like it.

Further, the tariffs have not be implemented across the board. There were only the threats. If and when they are implemented, we will see how all of this falls out.

I am a bit confused.. If you are willing to work at Applebee's for minimum wage job, then you are employed. Why should you be considered unemployed? If you all you can find are the…

I think the discussions are also missing another key element. The time in takes to read someone else code is way more mentally tiring. When I am writing the code, my mind tracks wh…

I do not know if you will see this.. however, the consequence is faced by the society for electing someone. It is not that the republican voters face something separate. If you agr…

yes, but that is just a form a political attrition war

Maybe they think Harvard will replace international students with american ones? Poor foreign workers are taking away our jobs, and rich foreign students are taking away our educat…

Paolo - I read your article, but I disagree with a few fundamental assumptions. 1. There is an implicit assumption that small changes in product behavior is a small change in the u…

If you are staying with your parents, I do not think Medicaid covers you. I do not see where you get < $50 for car insurance when you are under 26. Assuming a family like June Huh,…

I see them as propaganda and not statements based on facts.

Exactly this!! US has a very lone-wolf culture. In India, it is perfectly normal for an adult to live with parents and I am assuming SK is similar. The money aspect is overblown a …

I do not know how much more "China bad, US good" this can get. Choice quotes: “Many Chinese [nationals] have handlers; they [CCP] want to know everything that's going on at Stanfor…
