Stanford's @joboaler, who has played a lead role in destroying math education in California, especially for disadvantaged students, is merely following the norms of her field, Education, in overstating the value of weak/worthless studies and basing her prescriptions upon them.⬇️

Just spitballing here, but perhaps decades of criticism from a diverse range of people, for a diverse range of reasons, indicates a problem with the work itself, not some sort of witch hunt. thethreo.com/the-silencing-…
Shut down the open air drug markets in San Francisco

Typical of San Francisco to believe there’s no situation so mismanaged that it can’t be fixed by taxing someone else.
This was such a poorly done video I think I am even more supportive of the TikTok ban than I was before.

I sat down with @dflieb to hear more about his story so far — building a wildly popular iOS app, pivoting it into what would become Google Photos, beating cancer, and his return to YC as our newest Group Partner. Check it out here! ycombinator.com/blog/david-lie…
Here's a thread of my favorite quotes from Jensen Huang's interview with Patrick Collison at Stripe sessions today. There was so much wisdom packed into 1 hour! BTW fun fact: Jensen's first job was cleaning toilets. 🧵Nuggets of wisdom from Jensen Huang:
I love @danprimack (other than his poor choice of sports franchises to support) and think he's got some important points here, but wanted to add some commentary:

I am beyond grateful for everyone who attended the Recovery Summit today in San Francisco. Over 200 people came to hear Benny Lee and @KevinSabet speak. We had elected officials in the room, including Mayor @LondonBreed.
The @WSJ captures what we have been seeing and hearing on the campaign trail - our Chinese American community has clearly communicated their exhaustion with being categorized as a monolith that votes for “a Chinese name.” They are tired of extremist far left ideologues who…

Looking at a spreadsheet that lists all @ycombinator companies and their headcount. It’s amazing how many sizable companies exist that most tech people have probably never heard of like EquipmentShare. They have 4000+ employees and just raised $290m. 🤯 The list goes on…
San Francisco has developed an entire industry around non profits. An industry that is largely leeching off of taxpayer money with no results to show for. Time to end this. Defund the non profits. Allow for profits to bid. Introduce “pay for performance”. Enforce it.

The biggest problem with the Democratic party is that it gets its information about the wants and needs of demographic groups (young people, Black people, women, etc.) by talking to activist groups who claim to represent those "communities", but which don't really represent them.

Having some fun with the incredible data from the @reason foundations report on Education Spending and Student outcomes.... reason.org/wp-content/upl… State's Ed Spending Growth vs 4th Grade reading score Growth (yrs 2002-2020) No relationship whatsoever.
One of the most basic jobs of the US President and govt should be to not destroy capitalism. Unrealized cap gains tax is one of those insane ideas which makes an attempt at that. How are serious people even considering it?
An example to show how insane this is: You're a founder and you start a company. You own... let's say 30% of it. Everything is booming, you raise a round that values the company at at $500 million. You now personally owe $37.5 million in taxes. This year. In cash.
It’s difficult to describe how insane a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains is. Not a one-time 25% hit. It’s compounding, annually taking 25% of every dollar of potential increase before it can grow. Not an exaggeration to say it could single-handedly crush the economy.
Meta is down 17% ($200B+ value) for spending too much on AI data centers This was a known announcement by Zuck in January, not sure why investors are surprised datagravity.dev/p/metas-ai-ini…
Early stage defense tech founders take note. You want tweets like this about your company. The sooner you can start a multi-state strategy, the better. You are not going to get all the attention you want/need from the people who represent Austin and the Gundo.
Maybe I’m biased - because Anduril has a large and growing presence in Mississippi— but this makes me optimistic for the future of America. Great innovators who love our country will shape our future. 🇺🇸
Not going to comment on the "racism vs. theft" discourse, but one of the things that drew me to cultural conservatism was the defense of shame as a legitimate cultural mechanism to enable societies to do things like care for the poor without impossibly burdensome red tape

Stanford won’t be investigating Dr. Jo Boaler in response to the anonymous complaint accusing her of research misconduct. Good for academic freedom; bad for academia and K-12. Opinions are fine, but falsely claiming that research backs up one’s opinions is not.
I've bought and read @joboaler's books, read her articles, listened to her on numerous podcasts, earned a Masters degree from Stanford School of Education. I agree with much of what she says, including that anyone can be great at math. Her response explains a lot.
@joboaler I don't support baseless abuse but there's a lot of legitimate criticism you haven't addressed from women and minority mathematicians and educators like @FightFuzzyMath @rastokke and @minilek. I'd love to hear more earnest math discussion from you instead of amplifying the hate.
I suppose everyone has the right to develop a persecution complex if they so choose. But when they do, we should see it for what it is.
It’s probably not white supremacy or anti-DEI, anti-wokeness when Black engineering professors criticize your work.
