So we don't trust government to print money but it makes sense to let 20 year old print money for us.

They are the spenders and lifts up local economy. As long as immigrant population has more than above average income than local population, it's good for economy. Downside is ofcourse that real estate will go up but upside is that aver

Why would researchers want to be at PARC if financially it’s same as universities?

Does anyone know what was the reward structure at PARC?

Do they do any development still? I haven’t seen a single useful feature come out from the team during past 3 years. Their single tap feature is absurdly bad. For some reason, shuffle is never truly random and keeps playing same old songs.

Believing that something will grow 100X is not same as being visionery.

It is not same as VC because (1) VCs enter way before IPO which allows 100X return, (2) ARK bets are far more bigger than typical VC rounds which means any failure hurts a lot.

They publish their trades every day. It is very actively managed fund and only in name "ETF".

I don’t think it is hit piece. She is supposed to be expert day trader. She is supposed to be surrounded by economics gurus. She is supposed to have eyes and ears in her investments. She should have offloaded her positions in time, pocketed

I was impressed by ARKK performance until I heard her podcast where she lays out her reasoning. Her idea was that some tech will change world so much that there will be 100X return. This makes her buy into all kind of fishy things which we

Let me say this to everyone who is single and feeling alone: you did not made a mistake. Grass is not green on the other side. In most cases, it’s exact opposite.

It's not same thing. I used be amazed by many of these works because I would try to think if I would have drawn that and why and how. It took me a while that lot of these works have no reasoning and rational or even internal representa

Most NYC finance firms did this. You will find lot of AVPs (Assistant Vice President) who are mere software developers getting paid more than $125k base (during early 2000s). It was fun to suddenly have “Vice President” in your title.

I had not heard the "Staff" designation before Google popularized it. I believe in early 2000s, the popular job prefixes were "Senior" and "Principal". The "Staff" prefix always confused me and gave m

I wonder if this is in-house development or are they just riding on NVidia stack? Traditional car companies don’t have culture in place to create necessary AI infrastructure and attract the talent pool.

This is great insider reporting! Most people have no clue how shows gets selected and blame “wokness” for troubles at Netflix. In reality, the cost-cutting high-volume risk-averse leadership took over initial leadership of opposite nature.

This is not scalable. You are literally asking thousands of manufacturers to alter their manufacturing process. A much better way is to establish trust certificate. For example, if I want to sell something at Amazon and want to have “Verifi

This is typical no-information opinion piece. IMO, there is nothing wrong with only having "old" people on your social network. The 30+ age group is the one with cash and eyeballs to spare anyway. The 30- group change their apps l

The deeper issue you are pointing out is that only early employees get to capture the majority of the value while late employees only get the bread-crumbs. So everyone wants to be "early employee" of new products. In a way, this i

I wonder if any company has successfully eliminated promo-culture. One possible option (in tech context) is to have same base for everyone (like Amazon used to have) with a $0 to $1billion stock range for everyone. Then you select actual st

If a person is locked up in one feature/one product and unwilling to learn new things for the years then I do not think that person should be promoted. You can certainly give merit increases to keep up with inflation but that's ab

Proving that you can lead does not neccesarily mean that you must prove others cannot lead. This is the fundamental problem in your thinking when you make such generic and universal claims. If people are doing this (and I do believe it ha

Since when solving "hard problems" became toxic masculinity? Are you saying Marie Curie and Ada Lovelace suffered from toxic masculinity? PS: I am not endorsing promo-culture where impact of users/revenue don't matter bu

Promo-culture cannot be ignored because with each level, your total compensation often increases by 50-100% at many big tech. You can absolutely expect people to alter their actions to whatever promo-culture demands. As the article says, on

The article says "Under the U.S. Constitution, a state can only impair an existing contract if the impairment is reasonable and necessary to serve an important government purpose." . I hope you can see how broad and left to inter

They can unwind it regardless of any contractual obligations. State can simply pass a law and dissolve any contract with stroke of a pen.

Your examples and many in OP’s list are non-actionable non-concrete advice. For example, “take care of health” is non-actionable but “go running one hour after you wake up” is actionable. However, much better advice is not about what to do

A missing thing in this article: How do I know that public key X is associated with entity Y? The answer is not “contact entity Y” because I don’t know who Y really is or how to contact Y. This is the fundamental issue which causes centrali
