  1. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · quote🤣 totally called this w coworkers who thought I was being too cynical about wokeness https://x.com/OrwellNGoode/status/1464276222804955137
  2. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@srockets @metacrosa Also I'm burned out and cynical at the moment, would rather wait and figure out which charities when I'm in a more hopeful mood
  3. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@srockets @metacrosa My motives are to consolidate the records and regain privacy (I'm on every damn charitable mailing list, I'd like to someday come home and not open mailers about starving kids and abused animals), plus to shift several years donations forward to this tax yr
  4. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@srockets @metacrosa Why wouldn't it be useful below 20K? Like my marginal tax rate this yr will be 46% but next yr likely 29% (and my SALT + mortgage interest > 12K std deduction), the $36 fee seems offset at $212 donation now vs next tax yr?
  5. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@AutismCapital What amazes me is that they haven't yet established that maxis pay crypto to maintainers and devs who contribute PRs for their desired features... If web3 is all about paying creators, start by paying the devs in proportion to the value of the features you're demanding
  6. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@engineers_feed Lol Elon should totally compete for transparency by tweeting all of his Tesla all-hands emails
  7. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@srockets @patio11 (fwiw, it's a $3 / mo fee and no additional portfolio management %, portfolios are made of VTI / VXUS / BND / BNDX, or equiv ESG iShares ETFs)
  8. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@srockets @patio11 Yeah, definitely still bare-bones, but promising... Trouble is I need to choose a provider for this tax year
  9. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@srockets @patio11 Sure... But do you see anything wrong with daffy for those who do itemize? Fee structure seems better unless I'm missing something?
  10. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · repostRT @ModFarm: A chance meeting of minds led to the discovery that growing and harvesting saffron suits Vermont's climate while also providin…
  11. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@AlexGodofsky Noooo I love the crypto tales of woe!
  12. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias Not nearly as festive as the Handmaid's theme from 2018 😏 https://t.co/Oy1JHwg0oH
  13. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@monkeyrotica It's also an architectural design 😏
  14. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · quoteBirth order privilege strikes again 😛 https://x.com/StefanFSchubert/status/1465307652515418117
  15. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@srockets @patio11 What does "enough money" mean?
  16. Nov 29, 2021Twitter · reply@inthehighland Hilarious 🤣
  17. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@arctanno @varunramg @telmudic I'll go back to the dark side (adtech) if this becomes a thing...
  18. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @tongbingxue: Dance battle, by top three Chinese billionaires. Wang Jianlin of Wanda, Jack Ma of Alibaba, Pony Ma of Tencent. https://t…
  19. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@sheslostheplot My unofficial perk is no recurring meetings before 11am, so I don't use an alarm clock except for rare all-day client meetings.
  20. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@sheslostheplot (ideally, find and quietly greenlight an individual unofficial perk for each rockstar performer, something that significantly improves their quality of life but would make them look divalicious if they request it from a new employer)
  21. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · quoteThis mask tho... https://x.com/itaycohai/status/1465151465572364293
  22. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@sheslostheplot Concurrently spoil them so they're unfit for professional environments... aka "fuzzy handcuffs" 😏 https://t.co/kJDYdFJ8MI

  25. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @altachron: interesting
  26. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl Or Zeus grew bored with covid and sent us a variant that is more infectious / less virulent to end the pandemic? (Not saying little-O has been proven innocuous, but in the absence of data I'll believe my optimistic priors on evolution of variants 🙂)
  27. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @ozwalled: @joshuamartian @MummyComic @ShimermanArmin @IraStevenBehr @qtrcirclejab @JenKatWrites I truly thought that this would include…
  28. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @joshuamartian: @ShimermanArmin @IraStevenBehr @qtrcirclejab @JenKatWrites The Trouble with NFT's https://t.co/hEluFsA60Z
  29. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky Put the worriers on preventative fluvoxamine 😘
  30. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @nickcammarata @MatjazLeonardis 😿 crypto is an attentional infohazard I swear
  31. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@anesmithbeck @Duderichy Seiobo There Below by László Krasznahorkai 💕
  32. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@_djpn Oh also I don't have a HS degree 😛 (dropped out and went to college, your broader point stands, but just saying...)
  33. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @cauchyfriend More interestingly, has someone tried attaching a time machine to those loops? Lots of alpha in knowing the future 😏
  34. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · quoteDebate over whether to kill adult males with an IQ 70 - 90 because they can't be housed together due to risk of violence 🤔 https://x.com/Floris_et_Fauna/status/1465005587574542338
  35. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @vgr: Clearly the smart move will be to put my rover on the blockchain
  36. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@_djpn Bad timing- Thanksgiving -> grandmas who were lucky to get through HS.
  37. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @vgr: The proper term for this is conscious tastelessness. Conscious tastelessness is to aesthetics what Spockian emotional self-regul…
  38. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic I disagree because healthcare system capacity is limited and overwhelming the hospitals leads to bad outcomes even for vaxxed who need care for oth reasons... Also the usual nanny state arguments in favor of making dumb irrational humans act more in their own self interest 🤷‍♀️
  39. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic For Delta.. from the start variants have been acknowledged to be a potential problem and that we may need variant specific boosters... I think 60% is better than many had hoped.
  40. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@Duderichy Not your keys, not your car. Permissionless, trustless, decentralized access to mobility for only a modest gas fee... 😏
  41. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · repostRT @michaelcurzi: You’d think the autism god is male, actually she’s female and she is made of anime
  42. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@twinfrey @tszzl @telmudic I know the men here won't believe me, but there is definitely such a thing as "too large" and I'm pretty sure a 500K banger would qualify
  43. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @telmudic 🤭
  44. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl @GritGrowthCap Well. There's one improvement. At least crypto-hypemen are flocking to Miami rather than DC. 🙂
  45. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@andreikuznetsv Lol, find the time for some sleep! I spent most of Friday napping and feel so much *better* for being fully rested.
  46. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@andreikuznetsv 🤣 messing with dependencies always makes me thirsty for pomegranate juice
  47. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@andreikuznetsv 🤣 figured I'd politely ignore the unwarranted self deprecation
  48. Nov 28, 2021Twitter · reply@andreikuznetsv I thought "midwit" referred to IQ ~110 to 125, with skew towards verbal (ie surprisingly weak quantitative skills for a former gifted child)?
  49. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · repostRT @WholeMarsBlog: Investors have poured almost $900 billion into equity exchange-traded and long-only funds in 2021 -- exceeding the combi…
  50. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic "Effectiveness of full vaccination of the index against transmission to unvaccinated household contacts was 63% (95%CI 46-75%)." https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.14.21264959v1
  51. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic Israel (Pfizer) pre-delta 88.5% overall reduction in transmission https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.13.21260393v1
  52. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic More than a Tweet to answer... Reduced odds of vaxxed person getting infected is main factor, but also somewhat reduces odds of vaxxed + infected transmitting onward- Vars incl waning antibodies over time, which vax, Delta variant, level of contact (household vs community)...
  53. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Pinboard: At least sullen dads putting most of the family assets into cryptocurrencies is a very progressive form of inheritance tax.
  54. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · reply@Pinboard Try asking clients to use PGP to transmit their SSL cert private keys for deep packet inspection... Techies one and all, you'd be horrified by the mistakes, delays, and vulnerabilities.
  55. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · reply@pikecanth13 Needs an "avoid Greenway tolls" mode too... Like most tolls ok, $5.80 for Dulles to Leesburg is not.
  56. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · reply@RokoMijic This possibility was recognized in early days of vax distro and why we prioritized elderly & sick before their caregivers even knowing the target population would have less robust immune response. Vax does *reduce* transmission, which gets us closer to r0 < 1
  57. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky @monodevice Feel like there should be at least one level of beneficial variant... Like flu-preventing mutualistic symbiote
  58. Nov 27, 2021Twitter · reply@dwarkesh_sp @PradyuPrasad Who even has a "favorite intellectual"? Idk who this would be...
  59. Nov 26, 2021Twitter · reply@Duderichy @_djpn I'm confused, by everything

  62. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Pinboard: I'm scared to unfasten my final time axis
  63. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@_djpn A special phone? 🤔 The only special phones I find a little ostentatious are the hardwired red ones.
  64. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@_djpn Which ones?
  65. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@kcivey @andrehopfer @HostileDC Yeah I remember these! Used to eat lunch here as an intern.
  66. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Lithros: memes exist for a reason https://t.co/0YjPmCEmP6
  67. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@jsrnop @Pinboard Do you like all of them? Some are my faves, otoh Dodge in Hell felt like reading someone's boring dream journal.
  68. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@keith_dorschner I only mentioned in reaction to unpleasant tax news that I need to wait an extra year to buy if I want the BBB tax credit 😭
  69. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@_breeeeen_ 🤣 just saying ...

  74. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias Needs to be converted to bus-only bridge. That or fund the Gondola.

  76. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky @primalpoly Breaking all three rules with a single word, I'm impressed
  77. Nov 25, 2021Twitter · reply@robinhanson I feel like aliens are a rural thing because when we're surrounded by nature, anomalies stand out. In cities everything is weird and novel and probably a student art project.
  78. Nov 24, 2021Twitter · reply@WholeMarsBlog @elonmusk Does Elon have a special version of Beta that doesn't scold & boot?
  79. Nov 24, 2021Twitter · reply@reconfigurthing Sometimes utility feels more like schadenfreude, ngl.

  89. Nov 24, 2021Twitter · reply@carmenleelau @nickcammarata Yeah all the local homesteads seem to have a few alpacas... I do like goats for their intelligent mischief

  91. Nov 24, 2021Twitter · repostRT @The_Equationist: @tszzl Tech debt fuels code inflation though

  99. Nov 24, 2021Twitter · reply@Pinboard Thr puzzling bit is why they think us bitter nocoiners will be okay with a system that rewards being early to the party...? Like, the last person into a Ponzi scheme isn't making any gains and is better off staying out, but then the prev person is the last person in, etc.
  100. Nov 24, 2021Twitter · reply@Duderichy Aw Richy 😞
