You can show any number in isolation and it can mean anything. Now try presenting it the distribution of typical job gains/losses!

Here we have someone who clearly practices little real science, as evident by the ease with which they speak absolute statements that apply extremely broadly.

Raising (already record high) tuitions that have far, far outpaced wages and inflation should be a last resort. You can start by cutting bloated admin, reduce fraudulent procurement/graft (e.g. the $700k Berkeley Chancellor's fenc

YMMV, but I don't agree. I was building very complicated UI's with Svelte before runes (multiple layers of state, complex d3 + webgl visuals in the UI, etc.) and loved Svelte. Runes completely nuked the vanilla feel of Svelte, so

From what I recall, they nuked the ergonomics/what made Svelte great with the runes api (Svelte 4?) and most people begrudgingly switched over to React, because, why not at that point.

Nice post up until the section on "don'ts", at which point it loses the plot and almost becomes a performative caricature of itself: > Don’t feel like you have to continue the conversation if they respond. You can if you w

Is anyone acting on this? E.g. selling index funds, moving to HYSAs/bonds, etc.?

I will repeat again, this is in direct opposition to the author's thesis: "It’s the loud person who’s wrong getting their way because the quiet person who’s right won’t speak up." Given that, I'm not sure what your messa

You're right that there are two sides to every story, things aren't black-and-white. To your first point, I've already agreed that the numbers seem faulty. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're asking me to consider

This is awesome. One of the great outcomes of the datafication of baseball is the timely availability/accessibility of game info.

Well, these numbers are from July, and from that very first article: "Official Palestinian tallies of direct deaths in the Gaza war likely undercounted the number of casualties by around 40% in the first nine months of the war as Gaza&

Small thought exercise: What if the numbers were real? Would that change any of your stances/views? Would you self-reflect and consider that you had been tricked into spreading lies at the expense of thousands of lives? Maybe it helps

Sure,though this stands in contrast to the author's thesis: "It’s the loud person who’s wrong getting their way because the quiet person who’s right won’t speak up."

I agree, and have the same experience, minus the date my career started. That said, there's still something to be said for the fact that this is the only field that requires so much outside work, constant upskilling, etc.

by some_guy_nobel 1y ago
True, it's almost certainly for show and will amount to nothing, as with most things in this/every administration.

> I think this is a terrible idea that only helps those like your friends Well, it will also help the tens of thousands let go from top tech companies over the last two years, many of which do care about the field. I can assure you the f

What were they reluctant to learn? Why do they need to learn it? Plenty of engineers have to take an introductory stats course, but it's not clear why you'd want your engineers to learn bayesian statistics? I would be surprised if

This is true these days. The biggest calling card for the non-hacker pg callback founder is a forbes 30u30 inclusion - almost nothing worse.

Please stray from the meta "why am I downvoted!". It's low-effort, reddit-esque commentary that only serves yourself. You can edit your other comment. You're being downvoted because you're not responding to the comm
