@EthanChoi7 @JobsNowPR We were fine with our high trust, mostly homogenous, pre-1965 Hart-Celler society, thanks. We don't need any more Senegalese mass shooters, or Kyrgyz truck drivers killing entire families at once. We were doing great before them.

Now when you say Americans, you mean white Americans right? 😉 Seems obvious where you want to take this and I’m pretty sure nothing I’m going to say is going to change your world view. Your buddies posting anti-Indian and anti-immigrant content should understand the impact that H1B and immigrant entrepreneurs have to the U.S. economy. America is built on the backs of great immigrants, including our forefathers and today’s entrepreneurs, most of whom are immigrants. Is there abuse of H1B? I’m sure but let’s be nuanced about this and not just paint everything with the brush of racism

I’m meeting Stanford CS kids who can’t get jobs right now! 🤯 I’m also constantly getting questions regarding what we should be teaching our kids to survive and thrive in an AI-first world… Entry level jobs were how we as a society turned education into “useful skills”. With these jobs shrinking, how do we help our kids accumulate judgment, domain intuition, and professional taste? We are running straight into a structural dislocation of labor supply and demand with not a lot of answers… Social contract breaking of “go to college and get a job” and we as a society and our universities likely training too many college grads. Leading universities have been silent so far on how they’re going to change and adapt. Many of those institutions seem frozen with fear given they’re structurally disadvantaged if the number of enrollments go down. Stressful times for juniors and seniors right now and their parents… Going to put some thoughts down in an article on this topic given I’m trying to figure this out myself as a father of 3!

@arsalannaamdar No problem. I voted Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Sorry it took so long, complicated business.

To all Americans who voted for Donald J. Trump: thank you from the bottom of my heart — from me and from Iranians everywhere.

@CphAtomics Decades? I seem to remember you saying that the entire unit has to be scrapped and stored after 5 years of use. Meaning, you will run a perpetual business of delivering, then reclaiming these things all over the world... forever.

Copenhagen Atomics is different. That is the point. In nuclear energy, very different technologies are grouped under the same labels. It sounds neat. It is also misleading. Our molten salt reactors run for decades on the same fuel. That changes what scaling nuclear can actually look like. Read the full article here: copenhagenatomics.com/news/copenhage…

@RealTheoWold Good response Theo. Much of it was just bought. Both the right to govern the land, and then later the individual parcels. Indian title expert, Felix Cohen: How we bought the United States (start at the bottom of pp 279): archive.org/details/legalc…

Columbus Day is about more than just one man's voyage to the New World. It represents the spirit of exploration, perseverance, and doing the impossible. It's about the determination of our ancestors to spread Christianity to far away lands. And it's those values that made our civilization the most important in world history.

@RapidResponse47 I love what you guys are doing on immigration. But things like this are just wrong. I know this specific case didn't start under Trump, but perhaps he can fix it? A sort of deferred action for veterans? What can be done? msn.com/en-us/news/us/…

@FutureVisual Hi, I spoke with one of you at Fluxx in SD last night. How do I get in contact with someone to talk tech? Like Ocuvox? Thanks

@simesgreen Thanks Simon! I sent you an email. Take a look when you have a chance.

@simesgreen Simon, I've been trying to get in touch with you about your GPU fractal flame renderer. Is there a way I can contact you? Thanks

@simesgreen Simon, I am very interested in getting the source to your IFS GPU software from 2005. Is it available open source? Thanks.
