I invite you into *my* timeline, honor you with *my* attention, and *this* is how you repay me? Chugging iced coffee in front of me in *RAMADAN*?! smdh

Well, I'd like to see ol Wall Street rationalize its way out of THIS jam!

*Wall St rationalizes its way out of the jam easily*

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

Gonna have to disagree with you on "most pomo" while Towers Crescent and those absurd columns still stand.

Bring back the look of disapproval:

I wanted to be an architect!

Both 😆

The professor teaching the course a) had just published the 250th anniversary history of the school and b) used the topic as a sort of lens for teaching about the history of the institution of (private) American universities

Somehow I didn’t get a notification for this. Let’s find time to talk?

I think there's a really rich vein to mine around "what people think the 'bargain' they are entering is, vs what businesses are actually doing"

Eg "you can have my email to send convenient digital receipts" vs "we added you to marketing lists and sold your history to a data aggregator/reseller"

FWIW, this is also why I think some of these publications are making a mistake when they opt-out of AI scans, since AI is generating more traffic instead of search.

But it's also why I always focus on direct traffic to @techdirt.com more than any referrer.

hah. I have in to the “must match your ID” warning since my passport has my full name.

Early in my copyright career I had a complex, nuanced take on the ethics of piracy. Now I'm like, fuck it, pirate copies are perhaps the main way any copies of corporate-owned media (esp tv/movies) are gonna persist through unrestrained corporate looting, have at it.

Did not have “Anthropic as standard bearers of Khushrenada Thought refusing to develop Mobile Dolls” on my bingo card.

One of the Microsoft accounts always lies, though.

Replace all politics reporters with government reporters

This reminds me - for a laugh, pull up any category of furniture on Wayfair and then sort by price high-to-low.

The most Versailles stuff you’ve ever seen.

the whole thing smacks of "unsupervised scripts running as root executing scripts as root"?

help an elder millennial out: is there an xkcd that explains this?

trying to wrap my head around agentic ai, and it feels like a violation of every lesson that linux permission errors tried to teach me?

the (very expensive) history of §512 litigation barely carved out a beachhead for internet platforms, and left users with a near nullity in 512(f), and copyright plaintiffs have been hammering away at those and other beachheads (like the sever test) ever since. It’s a precarious balance at best.

have to endorse this important message. the mango flavor distribution runs from "mild upgrade on cantalope" to "proof of the existence and boundless love of God"

I get it, its a flex, but also, spare a thought for a future researcher trying to positively identify the indicated source, and whether their inability to find it means it was never written, has disappeared, was published elsewhere, etc.

wow.

Did You catch the East Asian/south asian rice cooker discourse the other day?

Was trying to look up the policy rationale for it a while back, and apparently it’s a leftover from “tracking acquisition cost/original basis across generations is hard”

Jokes on me of course since we’ve gone full circle and my bank memory holes statements older than like 3 years.

😭😭😭

Eliminate step up basis for property transferred at death. Disincentive holding until death by eliminating the one of the only ways truly evade taxation of growth. It’s a small start.
