Where is the greatest North American growth in tech workers happening? San Francisco? Nope. NY? Nope. It's Toronto. Why? Partly because of stupid immigration policies, which we've just made worse. wired.com/story/president-tr…

President Trump Just Suspended the Tech Industry's Favorite Visa

The administration said the move will give US workers access to an additional 525,000 jobs. But sectors with lots of H-1B visas tend to have low unemployment.

One of the biggest things lost in remote work is chance meetings. These are very important, but hard to quantify. If you measure productivity on individual projects, everything will seem fine. Yet when you read stories of how things happened, chance meetings were often crucial.

It shouldn’t be tech companies per se getting into fact checking. It should be open source technology. Free, universally available code and data for epistemology. Take a piece of text, parse it, extract assertions, compare to explicitly specified knowledge graphs and oracles.
