The libertarian right has been supplanted by the authoritarian right. It’s a bit too late to try to bring Ayn Rand back. I say this as a foot voting libertarian - it’s getting more lonely in this ideology not less.

You'd think with all the H1Bs the US is importing some of those could bring in some recommendation engine expertise. The truth is that the recommendation engine is power and people drawn to power in the US were too quick to abuse it dr

Sometimes dreams are all they have - especially if they're young. I think we have to understand the reality that the economy today is not what it once was, not even close. I think a lot of people are looking to the influence trade sinc

I presume the US market is the dominant target market for ads / influencing, a quick google search suggests it is 75% of the global spend. So the other issue is not just losing US influencers but all influencers will take a haircut. I

I have ADHD and the dopamine dysregulation really makes it hard to avoid eating things with sugar in it. The semaglutide really helps, I'm on a lower dose of it 0.5mg/week and have been on it for over a year. I've lost a fair

There is design tension between the language designer and the VM implementation. AFAIK some features post 5.1 make performant VM implementations difficult. Lua is originally a configuration language where performance didn't matter all

Thoroughly disagree, and I can draw on my experience of meeting average people to know that it wasn’t a universally valuable experience and I much prefer spending time around people that are more like myself. Perhaps that is what you meant

I'm not sure if I agree with that. Money saved will be inflated away, so lets assume you mean money invested which I would suggest is buying into the ponzi economy and could very well be a good idea. I consider being a miser as good pr

That is true, I tend to use transgenderism instead of autism because the data is cleaner and that more than makes up for the smaller sample sizes. At least for the things I am interested in. But for internet discussions I should have used t

The sample is biased and intentionally so, the prior probabilities are pulled from general population statistics. Consider the likelihood of an event that should only occur 1/10K times happening 5 times in a row due to random chance, i

I noticed it in general observationally and later found a generic explanation for it. I used to do behavioral analytics and noticed that programmers tend to have a distinct clustering of behaviors. I’m pretty sure it’s the TNXB gene, it’s b

The current crop of old people had money when interest rates started high and ended low, which is far better than the opposite of starting low and ending high. There is a lower bound for interest rates and there is a risk component to the r

The Trump team has already stated they are limiting deportations to criminal illegals, so I guess just people who are in the US illegally and have committed a separate crime. This is before any real opposition has been mounted where it’s ex

I made a former company $100M p.a. And all I got was a 30K bonus paid out over 6 years. Not even a promotion as I was on a visa. The asset required maintenance and without me it slowly degraded away. Every now and then I offer to go back an

While I agree with that ideal I’m not sure how realistic it is. Trump was elected on a populist platform and quickly betrayed his base again, this time before he has even taken office. What are people to do, vote harder? It’s not like Kamal
