No one is being restricted from bargaining collectively. They’re just being given the choice to opt out. Unions just get upset because they lose their monopoly status to police workers voices who disagree with their position and politics.

Right to work is pro employee. If unions want membership they shouldn’t be able to coerce it. They should have to earn it and compete for it. If a union can’t survive based on voluntary membership then that tells you something.

Having a lower tax rate is different than paying less tax. Not saying there isn’t something wrong with a lower tax rate, but it’s disingenuous to frame it this way.

The challenge with this framing is that you're equating social media to newspapers which provide editorialization. IIRC, one of the core distinctions that allow many tech companies to avoid liability for consumer generated content is not having an editorial role. If they embrace being media companies and editors I believe different regulations will apply to tech companies than currently do.

Why does an App Store have any say in the content of an online community? I’m sure there is plenty of content on Reddit that Cupertino censors may not like. Can / do they apply similar pressures to other social media companies with iOS apps?

Didn’t LinkedIn lose a lawsuit that forced them to allow scraping? How does that not apply here?

It's hard not to read "sharers are also acceptable" as either:
1) Be a sharer, but prefer givers as friends
OR
2) Be a taker.

“THE ENTIRE TECH INDUSTRY FITS AROUND A SINGLE TABLE.” Is incredibly reductive.

I just refinanced a jumbo at sub 3%. Definitely happening.

Wow it’s really creepy that there is a subscribe button that is prefilled with my email address. I realize that sub stack has this information, because I’ve subscribed to other newsletters, but I don’t associate myself with having an account with substack or with that any of my personal information or credentials should somehow cross the barrier between newsletters. Also, I’m just super paranoid I might accidentally click subscribe while scrolling.

Agreed. I’ve read both and would also recommend this first. The good fellow book goes deep fast. This was my review at the time https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2196621333
That said, if your choice is more general, statistical learning vs deep learning, I’m sure at this point you can find more approachable deep learning primers. This book just isn’t it IMHO.

This is one of my all time favorite technical books. I wrote a review of sorts a few years back[0]. It doesn’t cover any deep learning topics, which perhaps dates it at this point, but it gives solid fundamentals on a breadth of techniques common in industry. This is always in my recommendation list for folks making the transition from more systems or product engineering to ML.
