Jesus. That was kind of tone deaf. Not everyone laid off is an Engineering Director who has worked at Google for 18 years. That guy probably could have retired years ago. There are many who were laid off for whom that…
Strong disagree. Getting into a top University is hard but once you are there matriculating isn't. In fact many of these institutions suffer from grade inflation.
Same. I have never met this proverbial rest and vest guy making 7 figures. Most everyone I know is scrambling to survive the performance reviews and get to the next level. And if your productivity is very low you will…
I'm not sure how much that reflects general attitudes. That show is also set in Shinjuku which I believe houses a lot of strip clubs and other similar activites.
Robin hood.
Verbal abuse can be as damaging to people as physical violence. If you go up to someone and call them a slur, then you have committed verbal assault: "the use of offensive language directed at a person, where such…
Well argued and I agree completely.
Yup. THat's what I was going to say. There data suggests that everyone kind of estimates their ability similarly so that more skilled people underestimate there ability (impostor's syndrome) and less skilled people…
Agree, but it doesn't fit the narrative.
The article doesn't really show how this situation has evolved over time. Before cable didn't we essentially only have CBS, NBC, and ABC? When I see other sources like OANN, or the disinformation being peddled from some…
It's not that odd if you consider that Germany is a democracy and Russia is a dictatorship with a history of poisoning dissenters. Read the story about this mathematician who has been sentenced to prison for 6 years in…
Your narrative is so false, it isn't even funny. The most liked and tweeted content on Twitter and Facebook skews heavily towards the right. Fox news is the most watched news show in this country. Your spin on the whole…
Your sick man, IMO. This isn't about any power play. This about the escalating calls for violence in our country.
Well stated. And in fact many of the things Trump has done, I would support. But I can't get past his worst characteristics.
Is Fox news, the most watched news show in America not mainstream media? Trump has been slandered because of his outrageous statements and actions.
I also don't think Trump is a racist. I think he is an opportunist, though, who was willing to say things that were borderline racist to rally his supporters. In other words, he was willing to pander to racists for…
The article is a nice piece of spin. It seems they started with a narrative and fit the facts to it. I've taken the trainings referred to in the article and I never once thought they were designed to dissuade…
My productivity has soared as measured by things like like lines of codes, CL submitted, and Design Docs written. For heads down coding, WFH is much better. I hate open offices and find cross-talk distracting. For…
I disagree with that characterization of Pearl's work. Pearl's methods are actually already being used in many fields like Epidemiology.
Interesting hypothesis. Thanks for the article. I will have to stew on this. It doesn't seem to jibe with the all angst about class that people seem to be feeling.
Yeah. I also think these large contributions to college endowments are of questionable social value. They clearly help the people who go there to get an education but do they really address the issues that people who…
Agree. I think the greatest ill of our society is the death of the middle class and the widening gap between the haves and the have nots. Some suggest that taxation is the answer but maybe another answer is for…
As someone who knows some Category Theory, Algebraic Topology, and a smidgen of Algebraic Geometry, I totally agree. Category Theory is a very useful and essential tool in those subjects. However, to me it reminds me of…
I don't think so. Wasn't it common knowledge that the Government had access to emails via ISPs and shredder well before Snowden's revelations? What was revealing, I guess was some of the technical details of how it was…
I was sick in March for two weeks with some kind of Bronchitis. I don't think it was Covid based on the description of the symptoms. But since working form home, neither me, my wife, or any of my kids have gotten a cold…
