I’m not sure how anyone can claim number 2 is true, unless it’s someone who is a programmer doing mostly grunt code and thinks every knowledge worker job is similar. Just off the top of my head there are plenty of knowledge worker jobs wher

My company just broadly adopted AI. It’s not a tech company and usually late to the game when it comes to tech adoption. I’m counting down the days when some AI hallucination makes its way all the way to the C-suite. People will get way t

Canada’s COL is an exception. Wages are about half of the US yet in places like Toronto the COL is super high. These profs likely negotiated a fat payday. It happens all the time - profs move from Harvard, Stanford, Yale to less prestigiou

“Abysmal” mistake seems excessive. Basically a journalist was added to a discussion group of high ranking politicians. This journalist is well known within those circles and has plenty of access to those people regardless. The conversation

It’s wild. Trump beings people on, they are yes men. Trump fires people, he doesn’t like people who disagree with him? Which is it?

So if someone accidentally adds me to a Signal chat, which I stopped using so no longer check, and it goes on for years, I’m guilty of a crime?

Yes, I was using a false dichotomy to highlight the absurdity of the statement. Every President surrounds themselves with people who are aligned with their policy platforms . For some reason, Trump is the one President where suddenly it&#

What legal ramifications? Are you saying it's a crime for someone else to accidentally add you to their chat?

Amazing how the Senate can hold a hearing for something happened yesterday, but are apparently helpless to hold hearing about the dozens of other things that actually impact American's lives like housing, healthcare, etc.

CPUC members in California aren’t voted in, they are nominated by the Governor. So CA is a unique situation where the regulator effectively controls the public utility so calling it “private” is a bit of a stretch. More like a state contro

If you’re talking about California utilities the rate decisions are all on the CPUC website. Rate increases absolutely aren’t rubber stamped, the CPUC routinely denies expenditures and the comedians rate increases. But speaking more of the

Saying “it would be worse under Trump” seems entirely subjective? I mean if you want common sense immigration it actually “got better”?

But it’s true. The US has been ignoring its immigration laws for the last few decades (not just immigration, really). All the while other countries routinely enforce their immigration laws. In Canada if you’re caught crossing the border il

Not always. A public utility has little incentive to be efficient as like you said, they are fine with 0% returns. If a private utility gets a rate of $1.00 on $0.94 of expenses, it has an incentive to further reduce costs to increase the r

USCBP can't deport someone to a country they aren't a citizen of. Mexico doesn't want that problem dumped on them.

Apparently she broke several rules and it’s bordering on fraud. - She worked in LA on a TN that was revoked - She applied for a TN visa at the Canadian border and was denied - She then flew to Mexico to try again at the San Diego border (US

They should put travel warnings on every country then. The woman in question tried to self-sponsor a TN visa after being denied earlier at the Canadian border. I can understand why USCBP starts to think “this woman is trying to commit frau

I don’t think the letter was “warning they have dirt on them”. Presumably it was a letter on another topic say an accusation about Rippling poaching Deel’s employees. Rippling’s legal counsel sends a letter back saying “we aren’t poaching,

It’s highly correlated with the SP500, so pretty much interchangeable. But the point stands - the market went up, then crashed back down a month before Trump took office. So why is the media so confident that the recent repeat of that is du

US exports make up 11% of GDP. Of that 11%, some fraction is facing retaliatory tariffs. Considering the DJIA went up 4,000 points from Dec then crashed 4,000 points in Jan, one should be careful assigning cause when it did it again from J

This is why the ask what seems like an absurd question - “Are you a Nazi?” - on the US citizenship application. Not because they expect people to say “yes”, but because if they find out later you hide information about your involvement in W

That is not true. My understanding is a US citizen could promote a terrorist organization like Al Queda and that would not be a crime (if no imminent threat) as it’s protected speech. They could be investigated, but if no crime is committed

This is a pretty cynical view of stoicism, and not very deep. “Stoicism, on the other hand, stressed the idea that everyone is part of a large perfect whole and thus that it’s everyone’s duty to fulfill the role Fate allots.” Stoicism does

For the same reason the prior administration would have employees with direct ties to Biden associates? Because each administration hires their own people.

But I’d argue they aren’t corner cases. Most people I know with bad credit aren’t desperate for money. At least not educated, highly paid ones like nurses. Most just ignore their financial problems in the hope they go away. Not to mention
