Yes but money is perfectly situated to carry the missing information in this case. If it's legitimate, it was issued by a bank. Which bank? To whom? For what venture? The fact that it doesn't is by design. It deliberately obfusca

Isn't offering them a job that's equivalent to their old one indistinguishable from assuring them that they still have a job? No need to make people reinterview, but at least give them the option to turn down the offer. Maybe I&#

There are many more problems than that. We treat it as a proxy for consent, and it fails horribly at that job. Given perfect information, I'd avoid feeding you if I knew your mining operation was poisoning my drinking water. Money hid

By leading with the improvement-order-barter story, the article announces a bias that borders on propaganda. It's maybe worth objecting to even if the goal isn't to be historically accurate. The problem that was actually being so

Service or otherwise, making a tool into a product still requires that you to embrace a whole raft of design constraints that have nothing to do with helping the user do the thing. Maybe there are cases where those constraints don't de

The business itself need not be a sellable thing. Sell the assets maybe, potentially to somebody who wants to use them to run the same kind of business in the same kind of location with the same employees. It's hostile to the consumer

Removing dependency on SaaS has so far been my favorite use of AI. I hope we kill it off entirely. Software is better off as a tool. Making it a product typically ruins it.

I don't know where all of your shoulds are coming from. I too am having a lot of fun building with AI, but I can see how it might not appeal to everyone. And I think the people it doesn't appeal to, I think we need perspectives li

Yeah it feels pretty dumb to have to register all of my keys with each service, but as far as I can tell it's the least dumb thing.

Yeah, that's why secure enclaves embedded in complex devices are a bad idea. Hardware keys are the way: - Less likely to fail in the first place - Cheap enough to have several of so you can use one to log in and manage the others in th

When you're drafting policy, you get to be choosy about who you want in your country. I think that's more or less standard practice. We should want people who want to stay here long term, because then they have a stake, an incent

This is why H1B needs to be a relatively fast path to citizenship. Without that, the bosses will continue to behave badly.

Which is why leaving is not enough. If we want to be safe we need to actively interfere.

I had four big plastic totes full of cables. I pared them down to just one recently. I'm 90% happy with the move. It's ok to let go sometimes.

This presupposes that the practice of exchanging things for dollars will remain stable and merely the number of those dollars will go up. But that model is showing its age. I'd be supprised if, equipped with a heightened ability to dev

H1-Bs are systematically problematic in ways that resemble how racism is problematic. They create a class of people who has to do what the boss says else they have to leave the country. It causes bad behavior on the part of the bosses. H1
