None of these things apply to the average exchange student coming to the country legally to study at our universities.

I'd point out that the data for homes is averaged nationally. Historically, there have been Good Places and Bad Places to buy a home. Home price growth in in-demand coastal areas is very different than in rural areas. In the US, "

The Democratic party needs internal reform, that much seems clear to me. But since then we've had just a single term of Biden, and his administrations focus was on COVID, Ukraine, and getting CHIPS+infra bills passed. It takes time to

So this is a huge problem, and one worth tackling, but I worry very much about the timing of this post in the context of the bill being brought before the Senate now. We should not implement horrific legislation just because we agree with a

Get rid of FPTP and the Electoral College that enables a two-party stranglehold. If a vote for a third party wasn't a wasted vote, we could see nuanced parties and politicians emerge that don't have to tow a party line.

The implication that Mozilla, a privacy focused company, would have been selling user data in any form is deeply concerning. I'm inclined to withhold judgment until I've seen evidence of this, because that would be a significant s

Good read! I enjoyed the tale of Planck and his Chauffeur; I think it's an apt analogy for where we appear to be headed.

The same July 8th deadline here doesn't feel like a coincidence. But the provisions of that executive order wouldn't apply here unless they have been quietly selling user data. Do we have any evidence of this?

Every time we see something like this happen in the news, it should give us pause. Not because this is a reflection on the quality and reliability of the AI models of today or tomorrow, but because it is documenting for us, in real time, th

If dummy data ever proposes a "technical risk" to your projects, I might argue you're using the term wrong. Variable names are different, and I'll give you that, but creating humorous dummy data in lower environments sho

People, and the governments they compose, respond to incentives. If platforms like discord take a hard-line stance of "no, we're not enabling a surveillance state apparatus" and the government then forces them to cease busine

This is at best a strawman, and at worst blatant astroturfing. The benefit of the doubt is given to these organizations a priori. The idea that the average person should not be able to know about government intelligence programs is common

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I don't disagree with anything you've said, so you've given me a lot to think about.

I'm not addressing whatever policy was changed here. I don't care, and it isn't the problem. The problem is, very clearly, that our President is declaring himself a King. The hallmark of a King, or any monarch, is absolute ru

The beginnings of dystopia, ushered in with applause. Make no mistake, ubiquitous surveillance + an omnipresent AI enforcer is not a good thing for society. Of course they start with a "think of the children" use case, to ease pub

Unbelievably impressive. Such a wide breadth of skills and expertise needed to pull this off. And the final product looks great! Kudos to you!
