Am I the only one being very smug about all this? Not only am I glad the president is gone, but watching everyone who otherwise defends free markets tooth and nail get mad when the free market does what it's supposed to do is very grat

I recommend the title of this be changed to "Mackenzie Scott gave over $4B to 384 organizations in 2020"

This was my thought exactly. It's a technique that i see people like Sam Altman and other tech gurus use on twitter. Make no specific mention about who or what you're talking about, and your words can apply to everything and appea

Factor analysis has its own set of problems. Watch this at least past 30 or 40 minutes. https://youtu.be/UBc7qBS1Ujo

Do we need that? These cold wars run at the expense of 3rd world countries who experience them as a hot war. Good for you that no one in your country dies, but people in mine will.

I am not from the US or from China. I sincerely feel like your opinion is born of propaganda, but not only that, your call to action is itself propaganda.

You replied only to the parts i deleted, unfortunately. Neither of your responses even dispute my points.

Of course I demand rigor in a subfield that exists almost entirely to inform policies like segregation, eugenics, welfare, education, etc, and I find studies based on IQ tests and the g factor to be very much inadequate at being socially re

I find the circle jerk around programming languages to be kind of tired. I realise this is a deeply ironic statement. But, personally, once i realised the vast amount of the rest of the world that is out there and can be explored, intellect

There is no wikipedia page on heritability of intelligence, only heritability of IQ. It makes me consider whether the rest of what you've said is actually incorrect since you made such a conflation. Intelligence is a notoriously hard t

Most of the damage from BLM was incited by police, who were 500x more aggressive towards black protestors than the terrorists at the capitol.

Not surprising, if other companies are doing it they now know its safe for their profits to do it too. They also know that hes leaving office soon so they dont have to worry about getting legislated into trouble.

What don't you think is the case? I'm reading your sentence and it doesn't contradict anything I've said.

People wrongly predicted the end of the tech industry (and by tech industry i mostly mean ad-tech like google, since that is the subject of the thread) because they don't understand it, and there was even more reason to misunderstand i

They have about 300 employees on board. It probably wont get as high as 10 thousand, but it's not insignificant and this is, in my opinion, more of a preparatory organisation for the inevitable tech bubble burst, probably from some reg

Not on a long term scale. Tech's revenue is eventually going to dry up, regulations will become tighter and the low hanging fruit will be picked. They'll be less willing to pay engineers a senator's salary and there will be m

I will one day write a piece about how the tech industry accidentally invented the superior business model. Pay workers higher and they're less likely to unionise. They're more productive (lest they lose their jobs). They don&#x27

It's not a misunderstanding its how companies work. If you make shareholders unhappy you simply risk them leaving. Thats why on average companies do things that make them happy. Oh, also the shareholders pick the board and the board do

Sure, but all the problems come from the server side. You could suffer data corruption, power outage, domain name theft, whatever. I agree css and html is great but the author made this post specifically to feel superior about his theoretic

That's a satisfying bit of poetry, but it's not really how fascism works. I've studied both the ideology and history of this movement, and what causes or is a part of fascism is rising inequality, excessive privatisation, and

In that case I think keeping up very small additive changes is good, thanks for clearing up

I would say there is an argument to be made on both sides. On one hand rust is only 10 years old with much less corporate backing than Go, but on the other hand you have to be very careful with even small changes if you want the language to

Thank you. I wonder how long this will hold though? I would not like to see it get to a point where the language is fine but people aren't really sure what else to do and just make changes for the hell of it. In other words I think the
