Over the past five years of Erdogan's rule, the Turkish lira has lost 80% of its value against the USD. Does that benefit rural people? They need to get over their hurt feelings. (As a tourist to Turkey, cheaper visits for me! But rea

I understand the policy point you're making And ... assuming that you work in the tech industry, rather than as a university academic or lobbyist, why not focus on the positive - what Thiel Fellows can accomplish? I've worked for

Those seem expensive. I know macOS isn't for everyone, but these are more expensive than Apple-silicon laptops with equivalent or better specs. (Definitely true for the top pick.) I'm surprised.

Why don't you get to know the people working in AI/ML at your current employer, and ask them for advice? Trust me, it's MUCH easier to network within your own company than when you are an unemployed outsider.

By the same logic, all software should be free, because the cost of manufacturing the bits is zero! (Yes, I'm very aware of rms and the FSF.)

The English are very proud of their "Golden Age of Piracy." A simple google will turn up the mass rape, torture and murder these English pirates, and Avery/Every's gang in particular, regularly committed. E.g. they did a

Star developers, proven by their projects, open-source contributions, and work experience, are always hireable. Getting a job with no relevant degree and only a bootcamp for coding cred - that's going to be tough. (Although like most

News reports say that he might serve as little as 12.5 years.

The tone of the article suggests that 25 years (potentially as few as 12.5 served) is a steep sentence. In fact, many of us are wondering why he got such a light sentence. It reads like an unfinished piece - cut off to meet a publishing dea
