well said, thanks for sharing your perspective.
It definitely varies a ton. I've observed more that H1B's keep employee mobility lower, so employees on H1Bs tended to be paid less due to the natural bumps that come out of switching jobs every few years, especially…
There are already categories like this if you jump away from tech. Our friendly neighborhood Ski resort oligarchies leverage the J-1 Visa program to bring in international students to work at the resorts over paying…
Absolutely; I'd check out AI Engineering by Chip Huyen to get a fundamental understanding of the space and do a couple of side projects in the area to get familiar and be able to speak to the nuances of working with…
Yeah I came here to post that, such a nonsensical statement
Truth. lol I ran a sizeable team around 2020 and I had to educate a couple of our new hires straight from college that they actually needed to check their work email, after they missed important HR related stuff and…
Exec branch has the authority to direct the U.S. Board on Geographic Names as it's under the US Dept of the Interior. That does mean the U.S. Gov't / federal depts have to use the recommendation from the board I believe…
All the handlers around him that are plundering and stealing and doing all the heinous shit. Trump is insanely easy to manipulate.
Yeah, it seems like such an easy value add (especially since they gate it on gemini subs) to make Gemini do a great job in the google productivity apps, but they are generally pretty awful. Claude with MCP access to the…
We have a similar situation here in Colorado, with our single provider continually raising rates (with one of the reasons being better mitigation; from what I can tell that means just running ads constantly talking…
They are too big to fail at this point.
Yep, exactly this.
Protecting Workers, I'd add a couple more; it's not smart to be fully dependent on a trading partner or partners for critical and essential products, such as food, tariffs can help ensure you maintain domestic industry.…
[...wanted to bring your dad's factory job back, he'd specifically target whatever industry he was working in AND ideally spend the tariff money boosting that industry.] Which was more or less the intent of the CHIPS…
VC funding (much of it from big tech). They have a freemium model and offer some pay for enterprise features, really just private repos, permissioning, etc. but not sure if it is meaningful
there's a difference between allowing exposure to unsafe content, against systematically and deliberately doing everything their psychologist/behavior economists could do to make sure kids were addicted to the product.
the story of how she wrote this is fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTLXYJGvhI4
Yep this was really it. The amount of storage on the ipod was amazing and just opened up the idea that "yes you put your full music collection on it".
I can't imagine it going any other way than what we've seen from every other country in your set of examples, honestly.
You are both sort of right and wrong; based on a quick analysis, knowing this isn't perfect due to how plans have different characteristics, and states had different characteristics.. in the 2000s (pre ACA); * Employer…
I think it's generally gotten better for insurance companies, at the expense of both end customers and providers (with the exception of providers that have vertically integrated into the ecosystem, e.g. Aetna/CVS, etc.…
I got the impression from a previous thread that the continual issues were largely driven by the required move to Azure, and underlying Azure stability
I've had this conversation a lot with my wife, as we have divergent philosophies. I'm an old Peace Corps hippie that then road warriored for a few years where I would do a 4 day work trip and limit myself to a bag I…
I think they were all in on open until they started falling behind, then decided to go all in on closed source thinking they could build a frontier SOTA model; that didn't pan out so they are whiplashing back.
I saw that and chuckled.
