Of all the companies I have interviewed with, the only ones I ever joined had sane, non-leetcode interview processes. I have actually reached a point where I see companies asking those questions as churn factories to be avoided rather than

Supposedly if dividends and capital gains were taxed at the same rate as personal income, capital would just go to countries where it's taxed at a lower rate. Supposedly.

It's more complicated than that. In tight races like this you need your party to fall in line, including the larger "extreme" factions. Push too hard away from them and you lose them as voters (e.g. Bernie's supporters i

I wonder if you will feel that way when GPT-3, deepfaking, and bots produce the vast majority of online content. That day is coming quickly.

I don't understand why any of this matters. Is it just to paint Biden with a 'corruption' brush? Trump's family has already been shown to have done as much or worse than these claims against Hunter, and Trump's netw

Twitter and Facebook are in a no-win situation. Remove this content and they are punished by the right removing section 230 protections. Allow it and the left calls them destructive monopolies and breaks them apart. It seems they have chose

I have been rating a year or so after reading based on how much of the book I remember or how much it influenced me. It's made rating much easier.

Extroverts have subjected introverts to the in-person office for ages. Suddenly the tables have turned and now there's a problem with "one-size-fits-all"? Give me a break.

I think it's a natural effect of internet expansion. Stick 7B humans in a room together and you'll get a lot of noise because the world is a big place and events are literally happening everywhere all at once. Some find opportunit

It's not easy, that's for sure. But this is also not a new problem. The field of journalism exists to address these complicated issues, which emerge from basic human communication rather than any recent technological advancement.

Startups are hard but if we want to escape the cult of Silicon Valley, we need to put in the effort and make progress without them. It's so strange to me as someone living thousands of miles from California and New York, I know more na

Fully agree with this post. This administration does not have the public good at heart. Democracy must be sustained at any cost, and one particular political party (with power stolen through gerrymandering and stonewalling) led by one parti

American dominance was pure luck after escaping from WWII unscathed and in a relatively strong financial position. The major economically prodictive technologies we rely on today came of age in the first half of last century and we used the

This is a tough position for Twitter because they now have to fact check practically all of his tweets. Any tweet not checked will be seen either as tacit endorsement by Trump's political opponents or 'undeniable truth' by so

I saw the initial note and didn't think about it much. Figured a public profile was fine for me. For what it's worth, I found good work through Triplebyte at a time when I really needed it and other sources were not panning out. E
