Yea I missed the point. Everyone I’ve ever met who went to a community college did it specifically to learn job skills since those are what all the programs were for. I didn’t know they taught things just for the sake of knowledge or person

Lots of students who go to lower tier schools don't even know that their 'elite' peers are working on things like projects, OSS, or interview prep. I personally had never heard of a hackathon until after I started uni, but lo

The problem with community colleges is that you completely miss out on any meaningful networking. As long as all the best students see it as beneath them, you'll have a hard time meeting people in a community college who can actually h

A huge generational change is that young people can just google "best X" for every life decision instead of caring about what they're exposed to organically. What job to do, city to live in, how to dress, etc. They can also f

Almost everyone goes to college to get a job. People who can afford to take risks like trying to become a philosopher don’t come from backgrounds where price is even a consideration. No middle class person dumb enough to believe trying to b

It doesn’t look as good on a resume. There’s thousands of people with decades of experience in C or C++ that you need to compete with for clout. It’s easier to invent your own problems so you get to be the best man for the job.

Wealthy countries would immediately be flooded with all the world’s problems if anyone was allowed to migrate. Since wealthy people draw the world’s borders, they aren’t going away. Global equality would be a terrible thing for most people

Looks like it would work well in offices to stick on the outside of meeting rooms or any kind of shared space. I don’t like it as a personal calendar.

If you have a shitty job then it's really hard to get the experience you need for something better unless you invent problems. That's why making things way more complicated than they need to be is actually a good thing.

Anyone in a hiring market that favors the job seekers has to look out for this. Employers typically see the employee as a tool to solve their problems, but I think a lot of managers don't pay attention to employees who use the company

Most jobs are terrible but they also pay less. I think he’s making the right choice. If you don’t believe in trade offs then you’re probably being taken advantage of.

Yes - I just finished reading a book about the French Revolution and it was surprising how far the modern definition of right vs left has strayed. Imagine living in a time when the leftists were pro-war nationalists who loved prison and the

Wealthy people have all sorts of ways to avoid taxes, but high income people don’t, and they pay for almost everything. I think the number is something like the top 1% pays 20% of all income tax and the top 50% pays 95% of all income tax. S

Good. The most realistic future is one where the wealthy class replaces all the labour with machines, then all the poor people die, and the descendants of the rich can live under utopian Star Trek communism. 100 years from then it won’t mat

Why would you ever prioritize your users over yourself? They have no idea who you are and they don't care. Don't you have your own goals to worry about?
