I didn't know Collins has resigned until I read this. What problems do you have with Fauci and Collins? I am just curious and am reading more and not trying to be aggressive about this. It seems to me like they were the sole rational v

I vaguely recall this story and just followed up on it reading the wikipedia page. I am very happy to see that Gibson won the case. They deserve every single cent. Absolutely pathetic behavior from the robber, the assaulters, the protestors

A typical go-to response is Kleppmann's Designing Data-Intensive Applications. I think Alex Xu's System Design Interview is a good primer to get familiar with the realm of topics.

It's not just math education. It's science as well. I'm bewildered that this is even something that people are even contesting what I wrote in 2022 on Hacker News of all places. The majority of PhDs in the STEMs are done by i

I have a hard time seeing US standardized testing as "better." All of my Korean peers who have studied for the CSAT or Suneung laugh at how easy the SAT/ACT math section is in comparison. K-12 education in the US is years beh

Your son and I had really similar stats in high school. I also didn't do well in college admissions, but that was mostly due to my poor strategic decisions and affirmative action (I'm Asian). I would really emphasize that transfer

Code by Petzold is 100% my choice as well. It is an incredibly good book to describe not just code but computing and ultimately computing machines. I would give my 18 year old self Code and it would've done a very good job of piecing a

That makes sense and aligns with my own experience with Digital Ocean content. I've often found it to be very easy to read while remaining technical.

I didn't own one. I ended up choosing the budget option. But if it was known for being bricked because of the boot software like multiple Nexus 5x that I owned, then I am skeptical.

5 years ago I used Google Fi and it was just awful. I bought a Nexus 5x on a Google Fi deal. Fi was super unreliable, customer service was dumpster fire garbage, and multiple hardware issues with the Nexus 5x and the sim card for whatever r

No, I'm saying that the crimes are different and that to me one is far worse. Drone strikes and civilian casualties are the consequences of America's counter terrorism efforts. Putin having journalists, activists assassinated in h

How naive to assume that there is even remotely a comparison. Get back to me when journalists and activists are assassinated

Admiration for Putin is frankly despicable.

I'm not sure why you keep talking at me instead of answering my simple question. I never once disagreed about the importance of affordable housing if you actually read what I said instead of getting so easily offended by what I am sayi

I can believe that. I am confident though that Jewish students benefit heavily more with legacy. Asian Americans don't have 3-5 generations of Harvard and Ivy league students to benefit from. It's all a moot point though because p

I'd be curious about seeing statistics that are white (including Jewish) and also students that benefited from legacy. In fact, if we do a (race && legacy_flag), where do you think it would be favored? I am guessing it would le

No I disagreed about prioritizing affordable housing and treating mental healthcare as an after thought. I was asking specifically about the person that is dealing with schizophrenia in the example that you provided. What are the next steps

I'd be greatly interested to hear what you think the proper approach and solution in that case is.

> People don't refuse help that they need and want. If large groups of people are consistently refusing the help then it is not the help they need. This is a tautology. You are essentially defining the word "help" as whate

No but that is all you mentioned. I'm all for affordable housing. But when a homeless man commits murder, the answer to that isn't a one liner about the importance of affordable housing which is always the first and only thing tha

Affordable housing alone will not solve this. We have to actually expand use of Kendra's Law. Homeless people in NYC that are mentally ill, using drugs, and engaging in criminal activity will not use any more additional resources provi

For that matter, don't buy HP as well. As a long time Apple hater, I finally changed to Macbook pros with Apple Silicon. The hardware quality from Apple is still consistently good.

I'm checking to see if this Linh Nguyen that some random Discord user referenced me is the Linh in front of me on Zoom. A phone call isn't ideal, but it's still better than nothing. At the very least, there's one more id
