I'd be for it if there was direct control over the data. Like it shouldn't be hard to not let ICE into your police data when looking for stolen cars.


This would have been neat in business school


Business school is a great way to postpone doing the thing...


people have to keep rediscovering/reinventing cybernetics because society keeps forgetting it lol


At least for history of economics, I think it's harder to really grasp modern economic thinking without considering the layers it's built upon, the context ideas were developed within etc...


That's probably true for macro-economics. Alas that's also the part where people disagree about whether it made objective progress.

Micro-economics is much more approachable with experiments etc.

Btw, I didn't suggest to completely disregard history. Physics and civil engineering don't completely disregard their histories, either. But they also don't engage in constant navel gazing and re-hashing like a good chunk of the philosophers do.


You're absolutely right. However that salary is 1) not adjusting with inflation and 2) I'd argue is required to offset medical school debts and deferred employment


In most cases,the successor to a founder CEO is a finance person - because their mandate is to massage the stock on the behalf of the appointing board.


I would hazard a guess of which group says "I'm not paid enough for this" first - with the billions of funding just given to ICE.


If at your ceramics firm, you make and sell a mug with a ten dollar margin, if you then require ten dollars of wages for that time, then why did the company bother putting the capital at risk?

Not sure if I'm missing a facetious tone


But then you can't make a placement firm selling access to the US job market.


H1B's are a invaluable part of our communities and America's immense capital and soft power. However there is also a ~7% unemployment rate of new CS/CE grads. (Not including underemployment). This is after tech firms begging schools to reallocate vast amounts of public money into teeing up young tech employees. With the vast availability of a global workforce, there is little incentive to train junior workers.

Of course much of this could be solved by narrowing the gap between the lowest earnings and highest earnings workers so that the tech career path wasn't so high of stakes. Anybody working should have the opportunity to launch into a dignified adult life. There must be a conversation ultimately about where the vast profits of tech firms should sit within our economy.


I think it's more the product design is far more distilled for popular (and addictive) short term content. From ad placement to UI to the format of solely being a frictionless video platform with mostly anonymous users.
