Do people need to get a PhD in AI to succeed now? Goalposts keep moving farther away. The job market in tech is rough. Redditors blame the H-1B visa system. Could be, but I wonder how many Americans are really qualified. Whenever I look at the speaker list at AI conferences, they're almost all Indians, Chinese, and Middle Easterners. If there's a European person, it's likely a Russian. And whenever there's a hackathon or when some tech company offers an AI course, the attendees are basically Indians, Chinese and Middle Easterners. Such a difference from the demographics of the 1980s.

Oregon dodged a bullet. The gas tax and "Google" tax died. Dems are still advancing a transportation bill, though. Oregon is going to raise the surcharge on Uber and Lyft to the highest in the nation. And Tina Kotek wants a special session to figure out how to fund transportation. Stop spending money on illegals and sheltering/deflection programs that the homeless aren't using!

OHSU selects 'transformational' president after nationwide search. Well, they were kinda forced to take him, since everyone else didn't qualify or withdrew. And that's what they said about Danny Jacobs. He was transformational, all right. Although Elnahal has a medical degree, it appears that he worked primarily doing administrative work, and not in actual practice or in medical research. And I don't like that he's a fan of "harm reduction" policies. That hasn't served Portland well at all.

Half a million Washingtonians drive with expired license tags. When that many people break the law, it's not worth being legal. Why pay when the law isn't enforced? This is the breakdown of society in Blue states, when laws are just for show.
