School teaches you what others want you to learn.
Only you can teach yourself what YOU want to learn. Don’t wait for others to do it.
Took me a few decades to understand this.

This open letter on math education in the US urges @CADeptEd to reject the latest draft California Math Framework (CMF) which eliminates 8th grade Algebra I. It has over 150 signatories, including Fields Medalists, Turing Award winners, & Nobel laureates: scottaaronson.blog/?p=6146

Wake up... your Asian friends and family are deeply scared, horrified, sick to their stomachs and wildly angry. Please please please check in on us, please please please stand with us. Please. Your Asian friend needs you, even if they aren’t publicly grieving on social media. x

Someone left hateful anti-Asian messages in the parking lots of two CHURCHES in North Seattle.
IFGF & Grace Chinese Lutheran.
It’s at least the 4th time IFGF has been targeted. One neighbor said he tries to walk in groups now in case anything escalates.

Product managers, pls take a minute to do this quick survey for @lennysan (and subscribe to his awesome newsletter if you haven’t already).
🙏 ASK: If you are a Product Manager at a big tech company, can you take this quick survey (<3 mins)?
I'm looking into how the PM role differs across companies. If you take the survey you'll get the results first.
Please RT so that we can get more data

CEO: i want a high performance culture, like Netflix
- ok well first you’re going to need to fire half your current staff, and then double the salaries for the ones you keep
CEO: haha ok ok well i can’t do that, what’s the rest of it?

Growth teams be like...
Metrics randomly go up:
Our users really love our new features!
But metrics mysteriously drop:
- analytics bug
- seasonality
- holiday
- bug in the last release - fixed now!
- Facebook ad system hiccup
- last week's KPIs were wrong. This is right

The US (S&P 500) has won bc of tech
Tech companies (many founded by talented immigrants) thrive by recruiting great talent
Talent is global, and in the past the best ppl have gravitated to the US
Best thing would be to make US ideal home for ambitious and talented immigrants

If you truly believe in “America First” then you’d want to bet on people that have uprooted their lives to come to America to study and contribute research, help us innovate, join our workforces, or start new companies. That’s as America First as it gets.
