Tony Frank: If the Supreme Court strikes down race-conscious admissions, public universities have our work cut out for us in c/denver_post_comments

I think he makes one fair point that the top schools will be more affected in the short term. However, I think he could be more compelling if he actually provided statistics. This reads more as a CSU advertisement. Care for any dissent?

Are there any experts out there in the fediverse studying Quantum Gravity, and the reconciliation between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in general? in c/[email protected]

Tech and biotech layoffs jolt Silicon Valley, Disney and Hulu cuts hit L.A. area in c/[email protected]

Can someone provide more context to these layoffs? I expect there are not single or simple explanations. Given that, my impression is big tech expanded especially during the COVID era and they are contracting in conjunction with the banking crisis and demand for high stock value all at the cost of workers.

Marshall fire was caused by reignited burn on residential property, Xcel Energy power line, Boulder County authorities say in c/colorado

I am disappointed and not surprised that any Xcel spokesperson would deny any and all responsibility. These companies will not make safer or robust systems unless we as a society force them to do so. If I am not mistaken, they have plenty of profit from recent price gouging to make their infrastructure safer.
