My conversation with @TR401 is now on YouTube.
We discuss the importance of financial education, how Bitcoin was built for the inner city communities, what financial advisors are missing right now, and what you can do listening from home.
Enjoy!

Slate Star Codex is one of the most thoughtful places on the Internet.
Linked to by over 3 million sites, an untold number of fans, and all for free by an anonymous author.
And a journalist wants to expose it for no particular reason; nothing more than a few clicks.

This is incredibly, incredibly sad.
A writer at the New York Times is apparently going to reveal the identity of the author of Slate Star Codex, so he is shutting the blog down.

Story number one has no mention of story number two published in the same newspaper just a few months ago. (Yep, Washington Post was publishing articles calling masks "superstition" akin to tossing salt over one's shoulder. No retraction, apology or update).

I was on an H1B visa for 10 yrs. Started a company with co-founders also on H1Bs. Hired American employees, served US customers. This was our American dream.
But today the same company could be started anywhere. Why would the next generation bother if they can’t get a visa?

There's a view on the right that US computer scientists are being constantly outsourced and put upon which i think is in stark contrast with hiring data and extremely high demand for these skills that outpaces domestic supply

Oh to have such an abundance of high-skill US tech workers that concerns about "protecting" them made even a bit of sense 😭

Scott from SSC has a smarter attitude towards combatting doxxing/hit-pieces than most actual right-wingers.

When a private school underperforms it shuts down.
When a government school underperforms it gets more money.

Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN (writers' group): "Proponents of social change have the strongest stake protecting speech that is unpopular, or even deemed dangerous." Op-Ed: Those who exercise free speech should also defend it — even when it's offensive latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Grant did briefly own one slave he freed years before the war; but as a general he smashed the Confederacy, and as president he crushed the Klan. He presided over the ratification of the 15th Amendment. People going after Grant probably just want to break things.

Have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity where some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today?

So why can't we choose our schools?🤔
