The article is light on details of the substance of these lectures. While I couldn't find the referenced lecture, the following lecture might be similar:

Aka Jordan Lasker, whose reputation in this space is bad enough that even obvious calls like this one should be checked thoroughly.
Could you kindly support that statement and explain why you feel that way.

Feels like your second paragraph negates the first. That he wasn’t honestly debating ideas but fishing for soundbites to spread hate and appear intellectual, using the backdrop of college campuses to lend legitimacy to his divisive ideas. That is not what college campuses are for, and it is not a debate.
I’m not American, I never heard of this guy before. But I saw the video of the last moments and it’s a telling snippet. He was incredibly dismissive in his answers which were vague and devoid of information, while being clearly rage bait meant to be cheered on by his base.
To dismiss him as being “devoid of information” is lazy and cheap. He had scholars on his team shape his message.
That's far, but good to know.
You can buy prepaid SIM cards with cash, and without hassle, in the US as well.
You can do this in many countries, I believe, as well as online through services offered in exchange for crypto.
You didn't define where "here" is for you. Mexico is a better option than the US because the retail price of a SIM card with a number and service is around 50 pesos (maybe lower).

Is this actually a problem you see? I'm going on 15 years in the industry and haven't seen any issues training people up on a new language in just a couple months.
If you need an expert in some library or language to make meaningful business progress I feel like that says more about whatever tool or language you're using, and I simply don't see that with phoenix or elixir in the years I've worked with it.

Some years ago the largest company using Elixir in the US, or at least on the west coast, abandoned Elixir because they couldn't find enough developers.
Yes. The adoption is poor despite the loud voices.
Would be interesting to know how much data leaks on a new iPhone with some of the iOS privacy settings enabled and a handful of popular apps installed (WhatsApp, Instagram, Google Maps, Uber, etc).
And then if you use a commercial VPN with DNS ad-blocking enabled, how much more does this help?

>> Andreessen...said...to destroy political opponents, tech founders, and the crypto community..."30 tech founders were secretly debanked."...
What 30 tech founders were secretly debanked in the last 4 years? Is this covered somewhere?
Is it impossible to know if it was done secretly and they didn't want it publicized?
I can't tell if this remark is about the SVB run [0], or, separately, about individuals having their accounts frozen/shutdown for political/ideological reasons?

I switched to the Mullvad browser. The other recommendation, LibreWolf, provides the following warning on install which scared me away: "Warning: librewolf has been deprecated because it does not pass the macOS Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01."
