This took courage and we should celebrate this. I can already see people pointing fingers at him; that is worth doing eventually, but this is not the time for that.
Let’s recognize good behavior and make sure we encourage more people to do the same.
I get the point but I don’t agree with the sentiment. If all we ever do is punish people for doing the right thing, they will stop doing it.
People make mistakes. If they eventually turn around and do the right thing, we should celebrate it and not point fingers for being imperfect to begin with.
Incentives are important. And we need to incentivize more of the behavior we just saw in him.
Lol, no fucking way. I just looked it up and confirmed this is true. Can’t make this shit up.
This is a great point and matches my experience as well.
Exactly. It’s like they can’t read. Everyone knew this shit was gonna happen.
It’s always nice to have some wars in the backlog just in case we run out. Not like we share a common planet with common resources or anything.
It’s pretty crazy to me that zuck let an actual academic like Yann LeCun go for a kid like Alex Wang. Seems like some very short term thinking.
Because I’ve worked there.
No, it’s not because of that. It’s because he was legit a bad cto. No one at the company liked him.
Seems the attacker had family members recently killed by Israel https://x.com/ryangrim/status/2032204336244171027
Unfortunate we have to face local blowback for a war no one but Israel wanted in a region that has nothing to do with us.
Something definitely broken in Fetterman’s brain https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2026748211914813850
I’ve lived in both and while the similarities are there, it’s a bit different. Singapore still has a majority non expat population while Dubai has only about a 10% local population. Singapore also invests heavily in local education with one of the highest densities of PhDs in the world.
No they are in the room with him and his rich friends. The ones who profited off his crypto scams and insider trading.
Except a lot less fun. That one at least had cool lights, cool buildings, and flying cars. We got rotting infrastructure and Teslas.
Dubai was always an economy built on a bubble. As much as I hate how they treat foreign laborers and as much as I hate their current leaders, I have some respect for how far they were able to get with this model.
But ultimately, they are a country with little land, little water, terrible weather, and surviving on a vast expat population that has no path to citizenship and will always just see it as a destination to milk for as much money as possible.
I don’t see how such a model could ever be seen as sustainable in the long run.
I don’t know, I personally think he did it to please Israel (either by carrot or stick).
Ok, that’s fine, but I am still going to praise him. This took courage to do.
Even if he’s wrong about other things, he did the right thing here. How are we ever going to incentivize people to do the right thing if they are going to get shit for it either way?
There’s a time and place to criticize him, but right now at this moment I’m more than happy to simply praise him.
