UC Berkley gives precedence to diversity statements in hiring process: A person’s candidacy is terminated if their statement does not reach a set cut-off score. Rather than promoting diversity, this process serves to promote ideological conformity.https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2019/12/31/life-science-jobs-at-berkeley-with-hiring-giving-precedence-to-diversity-and-inclusion-statements/ …

English Winter: Pardon the inconvenience. Spring and Summer will return shortly. Would you like some Rain while you're waiting? Swiss Winter: Who needs Spring and Summer? Anything they can do, I can do better! Wheee!

The good news is, he didn't trip over any of the sentences. The bad news is that he only got through 4 paragraphs before getting bored. So it worked out at 1 Skittle per paragraph.

Bribed 7 yo with Skittles to read a new essay out loud, so I could see which sentences a reader might trip over. It would have been worth doing just for how funny it was. I never realized quite how much my essays sound like me.

7 yo: Are ghosts afraid of other ghosts? Me: I wouldn't think so. 7 yo: That's why I want to be a ghost. So I won't be afraid of ghosts.

Y Combinator + SAFEs + enforced handshake agreements have taught me that any industry where participants get bad deals due to inexperience / naïveté are industries ripe for a structural overhaul by a benevolent institution who can protect them en masse. Like the music industry.

The Golden Gate Stem Fair is the Bay Area's regional high school science fair. It touches the lives of thousands of local kids and is at risk this year (again) of not happening due to lack of funds. Can we raise $15k to save it? (retweets appreciated!)https://www.gofundme.com/f/bayareasciencefair …

Everyone wants to blame Mark Zuckerberg for polarization and fake news. But if social media were fragmented into a thousand smaller companies instead of a few big ones, wouldn't polarization and fake news be worse?

Just heard from a successful startup founder with a side project developing technology to fix climate change. If you're doing well enough that you can afford to start side projects, I encourage you to follow his example. Spaceships are cool, but we already have people doing that.

Someone who copies you is just copying one frame out of a video. If you keep going, you'll find that their video diverges from yours, and probably not for the better.

When the standard airline cabin was designed (the 707 in the early 1950s), flights were about 63% full. Now they're about 84% full. So the cabin you're flying in now has less than half as much empty space as its designers expected.
