At this point it’s the track to get a visa to work and live in the US. I’ve met so many graduate researchers who put up with way more bullshit than I would ever deal with. And why most grad programs are mostly immigrants.

Folks, if you still have grandparents and you love them please give them a call. Let them hear your voice and know where you are. Scammers are targeting the elderly because they are lonely. With social media all they need are a few public p

The Model Y, 3 has no physical latch in the back seat to exit. As an owner who primarily sits in the front seat this was a significant oversight on my part. And I won’t be making it again.

Seriously done with excusing brutish behavior. After everything we have observed over the last 8 years why would I give this administration the benefit of the doubt? They’re shutting down this government until it is just the police and mili

Zoom was popular with at home schoolkids. Because to use Teams you had to have a Microsoft acccount first. Zoom was a link, a meeting ID, and password. Sometimes just a link.

Apple's AI is probably learning you can be racist but you just can't state it.

My impression has been the opposite. Companies are very reluctant to hire nearly junior anything. So, they kneecap their top, senior developers and pull up the ladder for junior talent. But they are more than eager to pay mid-level develope

The free market will always chose to go to the places for the cheapest material and labor. There is no strategy to it. But, there are some industries the US have placed strategic value on and will subsidize no matter the cost. - USPS - lite

Well if I give 1 person a $1 bill and they pass it on to 9 other people. That's $10 worth of GDP.

Yeah, 5 years ago. It’s a much larger threat to Meta now. Specifically its gain in GenZ.

Well there’s that and then there is the 2 billionaires with competing social media platforms. Where one is considered a dumpster fire and the other is a retirement home. So why not use that considerable wealth and legislate your competition

The sun belt took wind out of their sails. And even they are starting to see softening demand. Miami just cancelled an A-class commercial high rise due to weak demand. In Austin, rents are tanking. It’s very hard to revive a town or city wh

I love Linear Algebra. I took it in college almost 20 years ago and I still use it everyday. The higher level maths almost broke me academically. And it was a course in LA that really kept my head in the game. Even now, when I'm talkin

> the decline in sexual experience among young people Can I push back just a bit. I'm the parent of a teenager and we've had the talk. The kids are alright. When I was a teen I felt everyone felt pressure to be sexually active.

"A deal too good to be true" will reveal it's ugly head in this case. Insurance wants to cover a near sure thing. You can trick buyers into buying something uninsurable, once. And then they'll be forced to sell at a larg

No HCU had a company denial rate of 32%. 2x the industry average. The AI they were using in their approval process was 90%.

He was the CEO of a company who used an "AI" to deny over 90% of claims. His choices indirectly impacted the life of millions and possibly killed 1000s prematurely. The healthcare industry had it coming, he just happened to be in

Not as many pirate radio stations as they’re used to be in the 80s and 90s. A few friends were running them from unsecured buildings back in the day. It’s where I first tuned into a younger DJ Khaled, LOL. The FCC started cracking down heav

The fact that something is being tracked and the thieves know it’s being tracked is a deterrent itself. Like the value of stolen iPhones crashed because activation lock made them worthless. So they moved on to Samsung Galaxies, until they i

They can also plant evidence, find something left behind by a passenger, or any myriad of things. You do not consent to the search because if you are arrested I guarantee that's the first thing the lawyer will ask. And will turn a $10k
