Bullshit. There was a whole bidding process upon shuttle retirement, and many state / institutions lobbied for it. In the end, the visitor count projection was a big factor. Say what you will but NYC has a lot more visitors than flyover states. Just because you can't afford to go there it doesn't mean that people around the world don't want to visit.

Comment Masters or PhD (Score 1) 77

If AI gets good enough I think companies won't need any low level coders any more. So the advice for young people is that if you think you're good enough to get Master/PhD from a tier 1 school then you should definitely do it. If you struggle in your CS classes or you're not really interested in going deep you should probably find another profession, or be better than others using AI.

Yup. Dems need to learn how to take the W quietly instead of rubbing it into R's faces. Cultural shifts take time and if you're not careful with your hard earned progress there'll be a violent backlash if some cult leader knows how to fan the flame. Hopefully the Bible in your face overcorrection will lead to similar backlash. However given the current consolidation of power and media things are not looking good.

Comment Re:This should stop the abuse of H1-B (Score 4, Insightful) 231

There are much better ways to deal with the abuses. What this will do, is that newly graduated STEM masters and PhD will go back to their home country and we lose out on top talents. These guys eventually become employers in our economy and pay a lot of tax. We all know that our K-12 is in shambles, but instead of trying to be patriotic and fix the problem, these guys look to score quick political points. Our kids are REALLY uncompetitive at the global stage.

Comment Xi doesn't need TikTok (Score 2) 17

It's a useful tool for his foreign propaganda, but he knows that if TikTok goes dark it's a political disaster. Xi's using this as leverage to get concessions in other areas. Let's see what Trump is willing to give up to keep TikTok alive. If a deal isn't signed he'll likely postpone this until after midterm

Comment Re:Different industries? Good luck with that (Score 2) 129

That's a common narrative. However, it's not too hard to be a shareholder. If you believe in a company just be a shareholder and be part of the gravy train rather than checking out life and blame everyone else. Not saying that there isn't systemic problem that's screwing GenZ, but millennials used to say the same thing until they got rich

Comment Re: Is it AI? (Score 1) 129

LLM is about as reliable as an average new grad. You still need code review and unit testing. The real problem with LLM replacing workers is that in a few decades we'll run out of the experienced engineers to do the code review. Maybe LLMs will be better at that point. For now, definitely use LLM to help add more unit testing.
