This is weird. I just came back from a gun rights rally in AZ, and haven't seen a single person defend the stance for gun control.

People underestimate the industry involvement with this hype. Microbiome drows lots of water.

It is also not helping that there actually is such a thing as "token X". A less discussed side effect of affirmative action.

There's a classical test of giving a never seen before programming language (invented for the test), then the candidates need to reason about some code. Never seen that in the industry though.

Yep. Lot's of "data analysis" without even defining what would be a "false positive" (someone who did well in an interview, got an offer but turned out to be a bad hire? how is TB exposed to that critical data exact

Sometimes you don’t have “an IT organization”. Think demo day with an IoT device. God bless ngrok.

I've just read i.e https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1096098366545522688 and even though it's "best of 25" (I guess cherry-picked by a human) - this is mind-blowing. I am actually having a very ha

If someone approached you on LI to build "machine learning to make murder robots", do consider the (99%) possibility you're just a sample point in some social science "research".

I've heard this term first time now reading your comment. Adding it to "list of thing I hope my kids are not".

If W pays you X to do Y you are not “your own boss”. You just have different type of employment relations. I’ve done both and find them equally “free”.

Most Europeans do not associate themselves with the EU but rather with their nation state. Also - not all Europeans are in the EU to start with.

TLDR if you start thinking about tenure @41 you're a decade late. No one in her 50 advisors told her that?

To clarify this is read-only view of the sheet right? Is the plan to make something more CRUD capable?

Academic ability is a small and not especially important portion of what humans can be gifted with.

Yes. Thank you for phrasing my thoughts more clearly.

There's no point in designing schools for "three sigma". Schools should be designed to push the median upwards. "Three sigmas" should be homeschooled, any sufficiently large system will only inhibit them.

One thing about the "gifted program" I may have failed to mention, is that it's a free space with lots of different activities and variety of teachers to support them (and not only in STEM). That is what I would like to see

One thing which stands as obvious to me is that we should, as a society, strive to provide the "special education for gifted" to everyone. Then we'll magically have more "gifted" children. At my kids' school, t

Yep. It reads like one of those nutrition "studies" that conclude with "none of the participants in the Brocoloy juice diet group developed any signs of cancer".

Let me guess: "the tier that we were in" was the free tier?

Anecdotally, I spoke with both gcp and aws reps in previous startup (not in US), and both told me the "take free 500K in credits" party is over. YMMV
