Well coordinated PR blitz by well funded non profits!


https://x.com/USLaborIG/status/2092719692741755140 Ankit Gupta thinks hiring Americans first—in America—is “DEI.”

No, Ankit. It’s called putting your own citizens first.

American companies. American jobs. American workers first.

If that offends you, the problem isn’t America. It’s your sense of entitlement.


Long essay reitrating the problem but not providing any solution to the problem!


It's not just BT audio. In windows PC, if aliexpress is opened in one tab in chrome, and switching to a tab with youtube opened, audio don't play in this tab if you start playing youtube.

He made millions last 20 years at Google without doing much and just being a honorary post, not sure what he feels about BS jobs like this


Vint took what could have been a prestige emeritus position at Google and turned it into a platform to champion accessibility and “Greyglers”. The man has more class than his suits.


Of all the millionaires in the world, I feel he’s earned a little bit of monetary recognition for his achievements.

Had I coinvented TCP/IP, I’d gladly take a bullshit, cushy paying job in my latter half of my career as a ‘reward’


I couldn't disagree more.

I personally witnessed Vint give valuable advice to managers like me, often in difficult cases. It sounds banal but often in a large corp you know what you need to do, but will have a lot of - justified or not - doubt about whether you can get through the bureaucratic molasses and the political interests of your higher ups. Vint's backing enabled a lot of people to do what's right.

One of my colleagues has printed and framed a reply from such a thread, where he offered an opinion in support of another manger. Vint replied "This is good advice. V.".

I hope he enjoys retirement, well deserved


Law is one field where AI can easily replace juniors who do menial work. But then how will law firms bill $$$ for the hours they used to do!

Yes, that's the footnote from citation [5].


Most of the employees of Frys were from Bangladesh. Now the connection is clear-> Ausaf Umar Siddiqui


He was a Pakastani-American, so I'm not sure that really explains it, nor do I recall that being the case.


He was born in Pakistan when Bangladesh was part of Pakistan, so possibly?


That's a bit of a stretch. They split apart when he was 5 years old, and his dad was a Pakistani diplomat.
