Was not prepared for how true this is 🤣

the iron law of cybernetics:

“the structure of the machine or of the organism is an index of the performance that may be expected from it”

Reddit’s community partitioning alongside shared identity and reputation is one of the cleverest things about it

New article time!!!

Ever wonder why a bunch of weirdoes keep telling us that Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most important event in history and video game prices have to go up?

Well, here's why these weirdoes are completely out of touch with reality!

Folks, this is talking about new durable medical equipment *suppliers*. They're putting a temporary moratorium on newly founded companies enrolling to receive payment from Medicare for selling durable medical equipment. All the old suppliers will still be open. Patients can still get new equipment.

Hi… just a reminder… if you are watching, please turn to your preferred local broadcast station with network coverage.

You can hate the oligarchs and still support that your local station is staffed with your neighbors.

You can’t hate that newspapers died if you never spent a quarter on one.

Then why are you advocating a measure that won't have the effect you actually want (chrono-only feeds), and will instead censor victims and protect powerful predators?

There's no guarantee they'll respond to your proposed liability tweak by going strict-chrono.

Right. So they will not apply the algo to it, effectively censoring it by burying it under puppy photos, bad puns, and other safe content. Gropers rejoice.

So if some creepy politician groped me in an elevator, no site would let me post about it (or would algorithmically bury my posts). Because if I'm lying, that would be defamatory. And the site can't know that I'm being honest.

Here's what far too many people don't understand: even if "the cost of developing software is going to zero", well ... code isn't an asset, it's a liability. If you're building something for more than one-time-use then it's a lot of work to keep it running, secure, etc.

a.k.a. "free as in puppy"

The will of the people isn't the case right now? I have no idea what you mean by that.

Please make an effort to communicate clearly. I can't read your mind.

If the people don't like the constitution they can amend it.

An unconstitutional law (or application of a law) has no force. Do you not understand the concept of a constitutional challenge?

Two things can be true:

1) Don Lemon can be a jerk who deserves criminal penalties for the acts.

2) The Federal government can't be the one to convict him for those acts.

It won't fix everything, but getting rid of the step-up basis in inheritance seems like a high-leverage thing we should do yesterday.

yep. also how to make the product better! and the marketing.

i also coach aspiring founders & make sure they know that support is sales, marketing, and research all in one & frankly one of the most valuable roles

it’s ethnography with data that comes to you

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

Playing peekaboo with polar bear Laerke! 🐻‍❄️

Laerke’s start in life was difficult, requiring intensive care after a medical emergency shortly after birth. Though she’s made progress, Laerke still has specific needs and receives personalized care. 💙

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

Random observation: using Claude Code is like the Guy Pearce character from Memento with no short term memory is your eager assistant.
