This is not a hypothetical. Folks have already been deported just for having contrarian views to the administration that are well within bounds of a polite bar argument about politics.

This is not about national security. We were already scanning social media profiles for that kind of stuff when folks applied for visas. This is arbitrary.

Why would I desire a regression to the mean as a citizen? Freedom of expression is critical, and there is no guidance at ALL about what constitutes offending speech vs. what does not. Arbitrary denial of entry is not something that should b

While freedom of speech is obviously a right of citizens, I would argue that in order to preserve that right the US should be extending it to those coming into the country - outside of currently excepted threat settings of course. Saying yo

Shit’s expensive. Period. What teenager has $60 to spend at the movies?

The problem is not that folks aren’t paying their taxes. It is that wealthy individuals have lobbied to make the tax laws what they are. The quieter and larger the exemption the better.

1000x this. You should ideally feel like you’re part of a great group of folks and doing good work - but this is not a guarantee of anything at all. When it comes down to it, you’re expendable when your leadership is backed into a corner.

And yet probably less alone than when using polluted and terrible social media. I would pay, FWIW. I am actively looking for a decent community of humans online that isn’t run by selling data to AI farms or trying to get my eyeballs all the

A real genius can often explain their work without being an asshole, I think. So it’s fairly straightforward to tell the difference.

Unless, you know, we often fight in deserts that are remote?

Apologies - perhaps I watch too many movies. Yes, I was speaking of intelligence or blackmail material collection that might be the goal of compromising someone's phone, etc.

It's a good point! There is a good reason for the article. I just don't love the implications of the headline because software being used does not mean it's being used as intended or with the blessing of those countries. This

Awesome article. I have fond FOND memories of all of these things from MSI Chicago growing up. It was an epic experience to see such a film.

They want the change to _seem_ like it will bring in revenue so the CBO number adding to the deficit is lower. The folks advocating for this could care less about the deficit, but they need to act like they care.

The idea of compassion having a means test is the problem. The command is to love all. To love your neighbor as yourself. Etc. pretty straightforward. It doesn’t matter if the person is a murderer or trying to harm you or acting in bad fait

It's not about the price. It's because it's COOL - and because somebody did a fun thing with hardware and software, which is great!

I would personally want to know the law enough to protect myself, push back on anything illegal in writing, and then get written approval to disregard to be totally covered - but I understand that even this can be hard if you’re one or two

I’m honestly not sure that the market is looking at supply at all at this point and is focused mainly on gold as a hedge against assets that are part of structured economies (treasuries, the dollar, etc) I would hypothesize that if you doub

Oh my god what a gem: “it’s got a steep learning curve which is good because that means you learn a lot in a short period of time” hahaha

I’d hypothesize you would if you thought he was a great boss, and the opportunity to work there was unique. Just reading that email felt magical to me - to get something so visionary on your first day at a company in the early 90s would’ve

Yes. I think at this point it's more of a meme than a trend, but tbh I will not take Ketchup on my Hot Dogs / Red Hots just as a shibboleth signal. That said, there are exceptions (my sister is dead to me though...)

Folks are anticipating increases in shipping due to large companies making last-minute buying decisions for the Christmas holiday instead of starting to ship things now through December. As a result, it will be very hard to find a container

Did… did this really long bio answer the question? I’m not sure what this is trying to do tbh, but it was interesting to see how these labs have been trying to incorporate AI.

The thing I believe least in this article is that the investor is betting their career on this investment. Maybe they think that, but they’re still multi-millionaires making bets with other people’s money. They’ll be fine.
