The issue is some ability to fight. For instance, I don’t think the child of a US citizen should be deported without consent of their citizen parent or a ruling against that parent. I’d like some assurance my own child won’t be disappeared

No one deserves that much more than others. No one believes they don't deserve what they have. People work backwards to justify why they need so much more power, control, and wealth than others. Worse for Zuck b/c his special shar

He mostly had standard GOP appointees last time who weren't on board. This time he has staffed his administration with loyalists, which is why so many have so little experience. They are there to do what they're told.

Well, last time, the presidential election changed executive support as well. That would make this significant since it’s a new Justice Dept.

Totally anecdotal but to your point, the engineering jobs in my hometown followed the manufacturing jobs in leaving town in the 1990s after NAFTA. Engineering seems to be returning as domestic manufacturing increases thanks to foreign auto

Much of our economic disparity in this country remains regional. We have states full of poor White and Black people. Of course, I have never worked anywhere that "diverse" wasn't only about skin color and gender, which means

You’re coming across as disagreeing with me, but it’s unclear about what. Your response to the out-of-context bit at the bottom seems to agree with my central statement about the negative framing of American values in the OP, so I’m very co

That the claim would be wrong is my whole point. Equally wrong to the original claims being made about the US population and their values.

It seems you haven’t read the context here where Americans are being framed as lacking community values because some small percentage migrate internally for better economic opportunities. The people here who see Americans who have moved to

And the impoverished areas of America are also where gun crime and drug overdoses are the most common. Oh, and don't forget losing healthcare and education services as the area continues to decline. These things go together just like i

You could say the same about the US-born, so I think you missed my point since you're trying to draw distinctions between the US-born and Latin American-born based on, well, I'm not sure what honestly. Your response is a bit odd,

From an American's perspective, given how much Latin American migrant inflow we have, it'd be easy for us to say the same about Latin American cultures and not imagining how we could leave everything behind. Perhaps people's

Pretty much. It should be considered rude to send AI output to others without fact checking and editing. Anyone asking a person for help isn’t looking for an answer straight from Google or ChatGPT.

The undergrads at my university were mostly US-born. I believe that's the case most places, even elite universities. The more expensive universities are incentivized to take more international students for the money though -- and obvio

If their kids could afford to buy houses nearby, they'd probably be a bit more OK with it. But when their own kids are priced out and told they don't have the relevant skills (thanks to education provided by the government unequal

Watched a guy get fired mostly because he made code review such a nightmare for everyone else while getting lapped by everyone in terms of actual output. I’m not sure there’s much to be done once you’ve hit “toxic.” The only question is whe

My experience with the system was it mostly being abused by incompetent managers who had no clue how to evaluate engineer performance.

The issue of course being the government then pressuring or requiring these companies to look for some sort of content as part of routine operations.

The miss, which in my state has changed recently, was kicking kids out eventually who failed one subject but were succeeding in others. Sure, that kid isn't going to an Ivy League school, but there's value in finding ways to make

Yeah, that's the point of me pulling it out: especially relevant to software folks when thinking about product requirements. "It's a car! I know what they need."

Sometimes it feels like this AI thing is gonna be The Emperor's New Clothes for a whole class of management types. Like, maybe we're automating their jobs actually because AI makes me able to do more, but a lot of that is the admi

I think we all assume each individual company will need fewer developers to do the same work they're doing now. The question is do they have fewer devs or do more work. And if it is have fewer devs, will that open up the door for more

Yeah, I was gonna say this is not how I see this going. The copy/paste dev is replaced by the novel dev using LLM for the stuff they used to hire interns and juniors for. In law, this sort of thing already happened with the rise of bet

I only jumped in when I saw your inaccurate, condescending post. I'd hate for people to be misled by your confidence in making a pretty simple English mistake. Context always matters in English and precision matters in technical discus
