It’s crazy to me that past decade or so, money was free, everyone hired like crazy and big tech barely shipped anything.
Now somehow everyone is galvanized, competing and Microsoft, Google, even Adobe are shipping features, products and cloning startups on a weekly basis.

The Chinese government has de facto control of any company whose senior management is is physically in China. If you don’t do what you’re told you’re told you disappear. It has used this control multiple times just in the last year.

The utility of a standardized test is that it lets you compare across different schools in a system.
Annie Abrams @anndaraabrams
“Kids in those elite private schools are exposed to a robust comprehensive curriculum. There is no annual testing there. Why are we doing it to our poorest, most vulnerable children? No one has given me a good answer to that question” YES @JamaalBowmanNY
