According to his LinkedIn in he has an AA from a community college in CS. But it doesn’t look like he has any work experience in that field. Most people applying to CS jobs have at least a bachelors. So not sure what he was expecting.

Sorry, I should have said he dropped out two years ago. Still, tech is a highly competitive field and I don't see why anyone should expect companies to hire them for technical jobs if they only completed one year of college (possibly with no real technical training).

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

I sent a firmware update to a few of my clients solar tracker sites a couple of weeks ago to improve their response to snowfall but I cant defy the laws of physics.

Black peoples' disgust for cocaine and the reactions seeing somebody snort coke is always a hilarious SL topic 😂

Every winter clients who own solar power sites are always shocked to find out it they dont work as well in the winter when it snows. Stop sending me emails bro. The site will recharge when the snow melts 😒

See this is what I mean about how science and technology journalism contributes to hype, bubbles and misinformation. This study did not claim the compounds where medicinal.

Science just found rare, medicinal compounds in cannabis.
Most cannabis growers discard the plant’s leaves after harvest but new research suggests they might be throwing away chemical gold that might hold powerful therapeutic potential.

Exactly. I dont want none of that "We must look forward and come together" bullshit. Accountability must be priority.
The next time the dems are in charge I don't want to hear a fucking word about coming together. No pardons, no probation. I want prison sentences after trials and guilty pleas, and closing of whatever loopholes they opened. Doesn't even have to be a big media frenzy. Just take these people to court.

There are shitty jobs no one wants to do under a fully socialist/communist system too. The difference is the way to motivate people to do them would require state force instead of the economic and social pressure and the risk of being destitute we have now.

STEM is a tool. A means to an end. Racist, sexist, sociopathic, ravenously greedy, and some of the worse people in the world have access to that tool, like everyone else does and they have goals.
