Hotple··on AI skills are worth less than you think (2019)
People who just use library functions without having any understanding of how they work are not going to do as well as the people who actually understand the math. The people who have real understanding will always be called in to figure out the hard stuff.
Hotple··on Vaccines vs. Variants
As I see, this is based on a recent study but did not compare to vaccination and real results. I definitely understand why they'd want to vaccinate the elderly first. What I want to know is natural immunity durability in people that have contracted covid19 and recovered. Germany, California, etc., when children return to school because of the mass testing. Good to follow.
Hotple··on Employees are happier when led by people with deep expertise (2016)
Emotional labor can be really taxing, and I think it's sometimes underrepresented as a stressor in people's lives.
Hotple··on When Myanmar needs ProtonVPN the most, Apple stands in the way of human rights
Apple isn’t a manufacturer of tech for political unrests.

They follow protocols to allow or block apps on their App Store, it’s a private company.

Also the wording claiming that proton aims to help people “challenge governments” may imply situations well beyond the Myanmar crisis.
