With remote learning the majority of teachers could be replaced with high quality content similar to how Coursera / edX works and students could learn from the best material available. Instead, basic material is duplicated as a jobs p

> I learned early in my life that the worst democracy is infinitely better than the best-performing tyranny. So I’m happy to make a leap of faith and say that liberal democracy will still be with us, but with new and interesting permut

This looks like a prison riot, the "free" West is turning into a gulag that can't even reach its stated aims of containing COVID.

I don't think my eyes and work email inbox are lying to me. Just because it's a softer form of control does not make it acceptable. This is part of why institutional trust has collapsed in the US and this will all end violently.

It's not hyperbole, and we do live in authoritarian countries across most of the "Western" world. If you question the Leftist narrative in a public manner you will lose your professional job. If you tweet facts that the Left

If this is "democracy" I don't see a point to it. I haven't been able to vote on any civilizational matters under "democracy" anyways. This is like the CCP but instead of CCP restrictions it is DNC restrictions

I've just linked proof of this, what do you think the whole Latinx phenomena is? I'm not saying fluoride in the water is a Leftist conspiracy.

Leftists are trying to change the Spanish language because all nouns are gendered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_neutrality_in_Spanish

People are tearing down statues and changing language while it is becoming increasingly difficult to openly question any sort of mainstream narrative. These changes were obvious to me beginning with COVID. I haven't been seeing much in

The primary difference between 2020 and 1974 is that smartphones and social media greatly increase the number of people who can (and do) serve as the tabloid reporter from the article.

H1B visas are quite literally issued to new grads. Confounding this with inventors and people founding companies is disingenuous.

Why doesn't Twitter "fact check" the fake photo of the MN Cop in discriminatory clothing that's been trending on Twitter all day? https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Make%20Whites%20Great%20Agai... They are

Couldn't you DDoS this infrastructure by having beacons masquerade as users and then have people quarantined because they were marked as near an infected individual when in reality they were near a rogue beacon that spams generated ide

Medicare for all would lead to a NHS style solution because Medicare in it's current form is going to blow up the federal budget. Medicare for all would accelerate that budgetary explosion, and require serious cost controls in the form

The undergraduate students at Dartmouth and Brown are generally much better than the ones at those large publics. The rankings are largely due to the department size and what the professors and their PhD students are publishing.

In those old buildings without a concierge your packages will get stolen and you'll be living in a high crime area. I've lived in old places before and it's terrible. At minimum, you deal with poor infrastructure (no in unit

You can maybe get a micro studio in cap hill for $1500/mo, but any 1 Bed / 1 Bath at that price point probably hasn't been renovated since 1974. You need to spend 50% more to get something "decent", and your walking

This sounds like Amazon, Amazon isn't at all comparable to F/N/G or any of the companies you're asking about with the exception of Uber.

The market is bifurcated and similar to law. Most people make comparatively little but the best of the best make several times the average worker. The company I work for happily rejects > 99% of applicants and I am certain greater than 9

This is a lame guerrilla marketing campaign. If you aren't running a serious business with a .com TLD you don't know what you're doing. You might even be punished by search engines for not using a .com TLD.

Graduate school is probably worse because it's not time boxed and what you're trying to do may not actually be possible. When you leave your medical residency for the day you don't have the option to continue working.

I work at one of those five or six companies but even companies outside of FAANG in SFBA, SEA, and NYC ask these questions. 10 YOE at FAANG can get you in the ballpark of 500K TC, you aren't getting that at random companies and your ex

Bootcamp grads aren't going to be able to answer my interview questions. If you can't invert a binary tree, you won't make it to the onsites, let alone pass an interview. I don't think the average CS grad can actually co

I get mediocre ratings from drivers when I take a shared ride and don't tip. Rating passengers poorly for not tipping is broken functionality, we really need self-driving cars and no drivers. Historically I've always given drivers
