Double down. Tell all competitors that USADA will be handling drug testing for any Olympic event held in the US and if there's any pushback, we won't grant a travel visa for it. WADA and the Olympic Committee can figure it out on

I was an internal Tech Recruiter for almost 10 years focused on pre-IPO tech companies. Hit the lotto a couple of times but after the most recent company (which was an awesome place to work) IPO'd, COVID, and just general career trends

Weird that they'd do this with so many SWEs out of work. There are definitely non-SWE STEM occupations that need this but hard to see this overly-broad definition as anything but an attempt to drive down wages.

Rescheduling STEM occupations allows companies to skip attempts at finding domestic workers to fill openings before they're allowed to hire folks on visas. There are definitely many non-SWE STEM roles that need foreign talent but this

If you don't want your art to exist beyond you, destroy it. Once you die, whatever remains is fair game.

Elon is truly the genius that we deserve and I tip my fedora at him. I don't know about what chips Tesla uses but if they're using the right chips and have enough storage on board, this might actually be the first time this idea p

I just want to point out that there have been stop and start efforts to regulate tiktok for years . Also this exact bill (or verisons of it) has/have been kicked around the hill for at least 2 months so its not like it came out of now

There's also no "free speech at all costs" clause. I've always wondered why we allow Chinese companies almost unfettered access to our market when we don't get the same in return. It used to be part of the deal but

Tesla and Apple aren't social media companies. They're also American companies. I'd be against the bill if American companies had as much access and freedom to operate in China as we give Chinese companies operating in the US

Very interesting. I'd always felt that real-name policies made for more civil but less vibrant and dynamic discussion. Moderation seems to be the key for any platform that allows for pseudonyms but the idea of stable pseudonyms makes i

There's a degree of push/pull on government and industry as far as encryption is concerned. Government shouldn't be injecting vulnerabilities into algos but they also need a way to read messages from criminals and terrorists.

Honestly, their hostility to pornography is hurting retention. I've been meaning to write an article about it but pornography is an incredible booster for VR tech. Everyone watches it at some point, many multiple times per day. It&#x27

I used to tell all of my new lead or new manager reports to start with Rands. I even offered to buy them a set of my favorite books - a couple rands, High Output management, manager's path, etc. There are some fantastic other suggestio

Did they though? The article says that the final text mitigated "pretty much all" of the issues. What wasn't mitigated?

It had an incredible run. JPL continues its streak of building incredibly long-lived vehicles. As an American, very proud of what that team and the NASA operations team have accomplished.

A company I worked at did a stint of CTO approval for all hires after a period of significant scaling and while it was a PITA, it definitely helped calibrate recruiting, eng, pm, and design to what leadership was looking for. It also expose

And after re-reading my first sentence, I apologize for suggesting you don't understand how large orgs work. That wasn't fair and I don't know your background. I'm gonna leave the post unedited for honesty's sake.

It's easy to describe this as self-inflicted when you don't understand how large orgs work and have never had to consider how a security team deals with a large org, each piece wanting their own version (or multiple versions) of t

ehhhh I think some customers would be ok with it if it meant discounts. If your software is good enough, you can tell customers to go elsewhere. The theory is that AI done well can be incredibly powerful ($$$) so you have to build it or r

Sounds good in principle because you're worked up and mad about your data (which is the correct reaction). I just don't love the idea that my dinky little app has to ask every customer every time I add a new feature significant en

Even if they had them, what's the benefit of revealing them? It's a national security advantage. If anything, admit we have them and let our enemies freak out over it.

I'll believe it when I start seeing crypto companies try their best to play within the lines. The plea for "someone, anyone, please regulate us!" is totally PR. They get far enough in the process, realize that they'll ha

Every time there's crypto scam and/or collapse someone writes an article about the long and lasting and deep scars. I've yet to see any. Dumb money gets taken, esp. in an unregulated market.
