The U.S. federal government is making it harder for students and highly skilled workers to get visas, forcing U.S. tech companies to hire workers abroad. University programs are struggling, too, and are projected to lose hundreds of millions to billions of dollars per year. buff.ly/8i9BAVR

Golden Wednesday. That was quite an unexpected end to my morning walk. After going up Glastonbury Tor in torrential rain, I was on my way home and the sky cleared in seconds!

I learned in Western Civ, the definition of a "greek tragedy." It's a story where the protagonist falls to their doom due to their own hubris. Also, the entire republican party right now.

There were all sorts of deer in my backyard this afternoon. But I was on the phone so couldn't get photos. In particular, a mommy deer with big eyes & a daddy deer with big antlers. Plus a petite teenage girl deer, and also a slightly larger teenage boy deer (with itty bitty antlers, pencil size).

If intelligence is defined as how to work very hard specifically to lose Billions of dollars while lying to everyone, maybe today's "AI" is actually intelligent, then.

The greatest secret in finance is that nobody knows what they’re investing in and another is that a lot of the “very smart people” with “lots of data” base their powerful “financial models” based on extremely simplistic scenarios, many of them as obvious as “growth continues as it always has”

I very much dislike extremism, incl forcing non-politicians to take sides in public. This just makes me much more inclined to avoid politics altogether. Politics doesn't need to be everywhere front & center ALL the damned time. Nope. In-sanity. U do u. Mute mute mute. share.google/T69KRFESfCxu...

At a relative's birthday party 3 years ago, I met a hedge fund guy in his early sixties whose net worth, on paper, is in the hundreds of millions of dollars. I asked him when he might retire. He had no plan, even tho his wife really wanted him to quit. Last year he had a stroke, now house bound.

they don't think of it as stealing. they look at is as compensation for you using their 'free' platform. they want payment without the tax implications. your data isn't taxed like subscription income would be.
