In comedy, they call this “punching down” vs “punching up.” If you poke fun at a lower status/power group, you’re hitting someone from a position of power. It’s more akin to bullying, and feels “meaner”, for lack of a better word. Ripp

I’m not advocating for or defending them, but he bullied some immigration related concessions out of Mexico back in February in the first round of this stuff. You could plausibly call it a negotiation tactic. The latest is just pure madness

When he started with a limited set of tariffs on Canada/Mexico/China it sort of made sense as a bullying move. The administration at least had the bandwidth to conduct three sets of negotiations. But it’s essentially impossible to

There are ~600k H1B visa holders in the US. the tech sector alone has ~10M workers, and professional workers are ~9x that again. That boogeyman represents < 1% of the relevant workforce. “White collar” work is the majority of US employme

A sibling comment nailed most of it, but a few other thoughts: - There are some students with disabilities that are extremely expensive to serve. Private schools don’t want them. Small public schools don’t want them. If you take the pool of

You just add padding to the items with borders so they visually consume the same space, then increase the width of everything except :first-child to account for the new padding/border. Easy! That’s sarcasm, obviously. But man, I’ve spe

I’m no robotics expert, but look how close the robots are to squishy human meat bags. I assume Google is being very careful to keep the speeds well below the “oops, it took your jaw off” threshold.

Relatedly: unethical researchers could run it on their own work before submitting. It could massively raise the plausibility of fraudulent papers. I hope your version of the world wins out. I’m still trying to figure out what a post-trust f

If you’re going to try this route, I’d also recommend prioritizing your family and/or life partner with all your remaining energy. Grinding is soul-sucking, and having someone at home was the only way I made it through the roughest pat

A few possibilities: 1) Companies barely scraping by start cutting corners when labor gets more expensive. The work environment becomes more dangerous. 2) Companies paying more for labor set higher output demands for that labor. The job get

There’s a new-ish body of research that suggests aging is non-linear/happens in “cliffs,” and that the first big decline is mid-40s. Something to look forward to. https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/08/15&#x
