From ETL to MLOps, data engineers are the unsung heroes making complex systems flow seamlessly.

The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that\'s an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.

Silicon Valley must confront its own contradictions—championing freedom while enabling systems that stifle it. Only through self-reflection can real innovation occur.

The psyche and the body are not separate systems, but parts of a single whole. Only by paying attention to both sides can true healing be achieved.

We can affirm our values as a country and have immigration systems that support our economy, that grow our country, and that make sure that we stay secure and strong.

Having studied biology really helped me a lot because I quickly understand how biological systems work, and how they fail, and the tragedy of when they fail, because we are dealing with life systems, and when we hear that a species has become extinct, or is threatened, you realize that this could mean that this species will disappear from the face of the earth forever! So that understanding really gives you energy to do something to save it.

As a steward of the U.S.economy and financial systems, the Treasury has helped lay the groundwork for the American economy to become a model of strength, flexibility, dynamism, resiliency. This is a system that generates growth, creates jobs and wealth, rewards initiative, and fosters innovation.

This is the essence of iterative and incremental agility. Test-driven development, refactoring, and the clean code they produce make this work at the code level.

Good software systems begin with clean code. On the one hand, if the bricks aren't well made, the architecture of the building doesn't matter much. On the other hand, you can make a substantial mess with well-made bricks. This is where the SOLID principles come in.

Democracy doesn\'t mean much if people have to confront concentrated systems of economic power as isolated individuals. Democracy means something if people can organize to gain information, to have thoughts for that matter, to make plans, to enter into the political system in some active way, to put forth programs and so on. If organizations of that kind exist, then democracy can exist too. Otherwise it\'s a matter of pushing a lever every couple of years; it\'s like having the choice between Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola.

Why does everyone take for granted that we don\'t learn to grow arms, but rather, are designed to grow arms? Similarly, we should conclude that in the case of the development of moral systems; there\'s a biological endowment which in effect requires us to develop a system of moral judgment and a theory of justice, if you like, that in fact has detailed applicability over an enormous range.
