Does it though? I don't think a campaign staff pointing out tweets that might violate the TOS counts as collusion. That's just a campaign interfacing with Twitter the same way everyone else does. If it was collusion, then every white house press briefing in history would be too. Which, sure, might be Chomsky's point of view, but I don't think anarchists need to be convinced that Joe Biden is bad.

This did not age well.

I'm not going to link the anti-semetic things Kanye said here, but you can go to his Twitter page if you're curious. If that's not good enough for you then I guess we don't have anything to discuss.

The worst thing Farrakhan has tweeted lately is a prayer defending Kanye, a person who was un-blocked by Musk. If that doesn't make everything crystal clear I don't know what will.

Yes, because it had absolutely nothing to do with TFA or the discussion. Farakahn still has a twitter account, before and after Musk took over. The point is, Twitter has a smaller mod team and that is leading to tons of behavior that's making advertisers more hesitant to use it as a platform.

Okay this is just right wing propaganda. Promotion of terrorism, grooming, and bigoted behavior were all against the Twitter TOS before Musk took over, and violations have only increased after Musk laid off the majority of the moderation team - not to mention people posting copyrighted material.

How is it "degenerate"?

That law says they have to be notified, it doesn't mention anything about severance.

Tesla got over 2.5 billion in direct government subsidies and people who buy an electric car get a tax credit up to $7500.

If you're talking about a pure free market that I don't think you're correct. Right now, a 2023 Tesla mode 3 starts at 40,000, compared to 20,000 for a Subaru Impresa. According to www.fueleconomy.gov over the course of 10 years I'd save 16,000 in fuel costs. Furthermore, if you need to replace the battery in that time period, then the savings drop to only 6k. So even with government subsidies, gas cars are more economical than electric cars. I don't see how the market can survive without help from Uncle Sam.

WhatsApp is a very simple application. I don't want to minimize what they did, because good interface design is hard to do, but it's just an instant messaging and voip client. You can message a maximum of 512 people on whatsapp. Barack Obama can message 133.3 million on twitter.

These technical challenges aren't even on the same planet.

Even in California.

World Cup starts on the 20th. We'll see what happens then.

Listen, it's fine to have outside engineers audit the source code of a newly acquired company, but literally requiring them to print out their code is insane. It is entirely possible that the article was wrong about that point and he just asked for access to their github repos or something, but if it's true it points to incompetent leadership on a truly impressive scale.

Mexico for one. It's typically cheaper to eat at a Taco restaurant then to buy your own at a grocery store. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest is more limited selection, more efficient service and cheaper real estate. The real estate issue is not one that is easy to address, but the other issues are adjustable. It's silly to expect the government to bail out restaurants when they admit they can't even pay their employees a living wage. Regardless of what you think the government should do about helping poor people, it most certainly should not be guaranteeing small business owners a 6+ figure income. They can innovate like every other business. The ones that succeed will get rich, and the ones that fail will at least have access to a living wage working for a more successful business.

Some views Moderate Democrats held in the 90s could be very far right, depending on the subject. Bill Clinton supported "Don't ask, don't tell" and the defense of marriage act. They were considered moderate in the 90s, but I would classify them as far right today. A moderate in the 1930s could literally have supported Fascism, and the "progressive" Woodrow Wilson supported the Klu Klux Klan. I'm not saying this applies to you, but "moderate XX years ago" is not an argument against something being far right.

Location seems to be a huge factor in the salary range for Software Engineers. $150,000 is a bit on the high side, but $120,000 for a JavaScript Engineer is pretty common in New York, San Francisco, and even Seattle. Smaller towns tend to offer salaries that are a lot lower.

I think it is mostly a matter of scale. Companies with big technical problems have harder problems to solve, and thus are willing to pay a premium for the best talent. They're also more motivated to be located in tech hubs, where it's easier to find talent.

On the other hand, a company in Lincoln Nebraska is obviously not planning to grow that much, and will have much simpler needs. Because of this, great skills and mediocre skills command the same economic value, and there is a limit to how much engineers can make.

Totally agree, calculus is a prerequisite for understanding statistics, unless you're just plugging in numbers for an A-B test - and you don't really need a class to do that.

Linear Algebra is very useful too, but it's not really fair to say one is more valuable than another. It just depends on what kinds of applications you end up working on. Universities should just teach both.

Look for a co founder that has the programming skills you need. If you don't know anyone that's a good fit, apply to an accelerator like YC.

Reading the examples, I had a hard time determining that the article was not being sarcastic. (Oil spills, violation of trade embargo on genocidal regimes, lying to investors, etc.)

It's an op ed for economic deregulation and tort reform, as opposed to a journalistic article. Which is not to say that op-eds don't belong in journalistic publications.

While I agree with this in general, "6) You reduce complexity" seems a little bit optomistic. Frequent deployments don't force developers to refactor their code.
