  1. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@max_hodak Ugh maybe this is my estrogen talking, but "trustless" sounds even less appealing than "frictionless" ... like, don't techbros ever want to *feel* anything?
  2. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@alongthepike Beautiful ❤️ https://t.co/lZjHCkBwtV

  7. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@jazzmusicbum_2 @elizashapiro More or less superiority than big-fish-small-pond syndrome where they grow up being the smartest person in the room and never have to work hard or admit they might be wrong? I wish I'd been in a more rigorous program from a younger age, might be less arrogant...
  8. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@sadalsvvd Yeah, I feel like quote tweeting has a "😏 can you believe this asshole?" vibe by default.
  9. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@warlocktame @BlckCatBlckSky @pull_gs @QuinnyPig But far higher property values... 🙂
  10. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@affan_imran @QuinnyPig Ouch! I thought web3 ran exclusively on wetware in Miami?
  11. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@sysproc @QuinnyPig 😂 he said wrong answers...
  12. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@QuinnyPig Secret section of Tinder for NY/DC elites.
  13. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@Graham__Duncan @QuinnyPig Here's hoping... Public outcry would block tax incentives for the new stadium in DC
  14. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@forthrighter @QiaochuYuan This highlights the problem with the "gifted" label, vs framing as "in need of more challenging material"... Kids learning a new language prob don't need AP English class at that moment, however smart and capable... Retest and place accordingly every year or few.
  15. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@SethMiller79 @QiaochuYuan Hmm, I was in Fairfax in 90s to 00s, feel like it was in the process of being watered down when I was there... TJ wasn't as rigorous as everyone pretends.
  16. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@QiaochuYuan Hm, I was in full time magnet school gifted program and it was prob aimed at like 120 to 140... There was also just special enrichment in schools for like 110 to 120... HS I did a yr at Thomas Jefferson which is among highest rated in US and it was still maybe 130 to 145
  17. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @pull_gs @QuinnyPig (a region being a geographical location with a bunch of AWS datacenters- you select region(s) to run code and store data, US East 1 is Northern Virginia, centered around Dulles / Ashburn area)
  18. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @pull_gs @QuinnyPig Amazon's "main character" region for AWS, lots of "pet" servers live here (as in, one-off special high maintenance stuff rather than the nameless scalable herd)
  19. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@powerbottomdad1 👋 yw.
  20. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · repostRT @pull_gs: @QuinnyPig us-east-1 is probably more important to the US than Washington DC at this point. (Although that's arguably a very l…
  21. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@King1Nine @WholeMarsBlog @elonmusk Many regulations aren't about protecting customers but about protecting profit margins by reducing competition. Do hairdressers really need expensive training and licensing, when the worst case scenario is temporary aesthetic disappointment?
  22. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · repostRT @deepfates: I read this recently because it was quoted by @g_leech_ in an essay. it stood out to me because code is already my secret we…
  23. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@aashishkhullar1 @ikasliwal The problem with JIRA is other people... Love the tickets where entire content is "UI could be much better"
  24. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@techruralist @InvictusDude Lol, he shouldn't have started the convo with a monologue about how he was sooo hungry when I was half a block from the most delicious enormous portions of Afghan takeout... Like, if hunger is actually the problem I wanna help, otherwise meh.
  25. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@techruralist @InvictusDude I offered to buy an extra meal when a guy asked for cash omw to get takeout, he's like "nah, but you can Venmo me" ... I said no ... "Well there's an ATM at the strip club across the street" ... Also no ... "I don't think you understand what's going on here!" (Clearly, I didn't)
  26. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · reply@tszzl But they're vibing so hard! 😏
  27. Oct 8, 2021Twitter · post"One lesson of the Everything Shortage is: You cannot redistribute what isn’t created in the first place. The best equality agenda begins with an abundance agenda." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/10/america-is-choking-under-an-everything-shortage/620322/

  31. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · posthttps://www.wraltechwire.com/2021/10/04/wolfspeed-ceo-gregg-lowe-on-semiconductor-shortage-completely-and-totally-unprecedented/
  32. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@ForemanTaxLaw @goodtaxtakes Yes please!
  33. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@NicoDelon (to be clear, actually getting sick is worse than getting vaxxed, but I considered my risk of flu quite low last winter due to covid restrictions... I got the covid vax because covid is more transmissible and I interact with 4 grandparents in their 90s)
  34. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@NicoDelon I feel like activating my immune system is always a significant decision because of the link between inflammation / sickness response and psychiatric destabilization... This past year I didn't get a flu shot and I didn't have SAD symptoms, but who knows 🤷
  35. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@NicoDelon Lol, I didn't get a flu shot last year because the covid precautions seemed likely to prevent a usual flu season, though previous years I've always done it. Still pondering for this year...
  36. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@crampell @mattyglesias This! Census data is used for all sorts of ad targeting / user profiling...
  37. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · repostRT @mycoliza: found a cool comment in the rust compiler today https://t.co/63GpeCidAb
  38. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss Ah, BitTorrent's a good example- it didn't replace the internet, it stirs controversy with ISPs & great firewall & copyright holders, and most ppl still find it easier to stream than Torrent. And BitTorrent is less ambitious, not trying to keep one consistent ledger everywhere
  39. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@WithoutReports @EvilMopacATX Yeah, I feel like the golden age was sometime after my mom was born there in the '60s, but before my cousin ran as a libertarian candidate in a local election in the '00s...
  40. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · repostRT @sophywong: Y’all… I FINISHED IT #3Dprinted dress made w/ @Fillamentum PLA in Wizard’s Voodoo https://t.co/6fZt38DnSb
  41. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@adamhoov @WholeMarsBlog I swear it is more about rolling out beta in the places with the least insane *other* drivers on the road...
  42. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@WholeMarsBlog So... Model 2 *will* be a thing eventually?!?
  43. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@QiaochuYuan Doesn't it implicitly glorify math?
  44. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@WholeMarsBlog 🙌 yes!
  45. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss Thanks, this is the sort of thing that leaves me kinda puzzled because as far as I can tell web3 still runs atop TCP/IP carried by the usual ISPs, so your connection is as fragile and filterable as ever...?
  46. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Lol you wish... my rage-filled female family members seem to believe it is better to make other people's lives a living hell than to put them out of their misery.
  47. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias @ModeledBehavior And looking forward to paying income tax on it?
  48. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss The web3 thing just puzzles me, if you have a solid article on it I'd love to read something more than Tweets.
  49. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss And knowing too well the downsides and unexpected single-point-of-failure problems in existing networking protocols, I feel like there will be some big bumps in the road and I don't have the stomach for that.
  50. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss Maybe I'm too conservative. I think the concepts have promise but the massive amount of money actively sitting atop the current maturity level of the tech... And the amount of *noise* and bullying of skeptics...
  51. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss 🤔 hard to explain... I'd be fine using some of them as open source libraries in my code, but as the basis for a new economic system.... "The code is the spec" makes me uneasy already, and then looking at the process of updating the code and seeing chaos and bad links...
  52. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss Well... It seems like the issue with micropayments is the transaction cost / volume... And currently Bitcoin / Ethereum have pretty high transaction cost and scalability issues... So you go to L2, but I'm not quite convinced by current options, idk...
  53. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss A lot of my uneasiness comes from the ratio of hype to code and # of contributors... it's hard to feel something is sufficiently "decentralized" if the code is maintained by a very small group and there are no published specs
  54. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss I will admit to being old-school- a little resentful to have lost use of the word "crypto" and instinctively feel that a protocol is "too new" if not standardized in an RFC
  55. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss And when I ask questions on Twitter I get mansplained and/or "look into X"... Which just leads to more pawing through bad search results and outdated doc
  56. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@mcorliss I don't think mine is..? Every so often I look into it again as a dev and get frustrated by the broken links, contradictory information, and search results that are mostly hype not content
  57. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · quoteImproving on TDRSS😎 ... It's always back of mind that I work a short walk from Space Adventures HQ https://x.com/VAGovernor73/status/1446190306660073475

  59. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@krishnanrohit What's the better alternative? Social credit system? Endorsements from friends & family? Demographic discrimination? Get rid of bankruptcy as a legal option to walk away from debt? System to allow employer to send % of wages straight to loan repayment?
  60. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · reply@krishnanrohit Seems sensible to me- get a hand saw and show that you can avoid taking off a finger, then we'll consider moving you up to a circular saw, then a chainsaw, etc...

  70. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · repostRT @GreenCerenkov: I think what Steven Pinker meant is that rationality isn't lit, filthy, active, doesn't slap or fuck
  71. Oct 7, 2021Twitter · repostRT @AleefIsyraf: @DarbraDawn If i were in charge of the supply chains i would just lubricate the chains
  72. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@NanoHydraulic @ESYudkowsky @ZachWeiner 😔 was so disappointed to find out there's no truth behind the "math pet" rumor...
  73. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@aksfjh @ne0liberal Tbh I thought this would get harsher pushback... I'm irritated with activists who overstate their case and undermine the public trust in statistics and projections, not with people taking full advantage of a legal option- imo the same as tax avoidance.
  74. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@notzoetaylor @peterthiel When will "One to N" be published?
  75. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@robinhanson @primalpoly Other than the risk of govt throwing gobs of money into the system while restricting supply... 🙄
  76. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky (over the long-term I think it does happen, but not 100% because handcrafted artisanal whatever is a status signal and humans *enjoy* playing with our food when it isn't a daily obligation)
  77. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@bryan_caplan Facebook started as a way to collect photos of college girls, let's not pretend they're a hero just because there's a villain on the other side.
  78. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@powerbottomdad1 Imagine looking to politicians for inspirational role models.
  79. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@adambroach @jeremycole @prete_il @vllry @QasimRashid Oh, people take this stuff seriously? I thought it was really quite funny!
  80. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@ForemanTaxLaw Thanks! I'd use my grandparents' guy except he's exactly the sort of person who needs to read your thread...
  81. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@ForemanTaxLaw Don't suppose you'd refer me to someone for my personal taxes, or at least suggest an algorithm for finding a good one? Recently notified that I'll be seeing a large (for me) LTCG on next year's FLP K-1, feels like time to hire a pro.
  82. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky 😂 so true. Ridiculous disconnect between woke ideology where each race is an island surrounded by shark-infested waters of appropriation and displacement, vs everyday life where people of all colors are neighbors and coworkers and life partners and it's nbd...
  83. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@OneFineJay @Pathless110 Lol, I do have the inverse- coded up some logic to check surrounding light context before very gently turning up bathroom illumination to save my eyes at night
  84. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 @OneFineJay Sounds wonderful... Maybe combine with more sophisticated ventilation to play with sheer curtains and add to the effect / create nighttime privacy
  85. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 @OneFineJay I'm totally programming my house to give me a halo effect as soon as it's feasible
  86. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky There are also Afghan refugees stuck in transit... I have a modest proposal...
  87. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@Pathless110 @OneFineJay Could provide the visual equivalent of speakers adjusting to the acoustics of the space to improve architectural mistakes?
  88. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@robertwiblin *shudder* thankfully no
  89. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@markfollman @fmanjoo If "sorry if this sounds like nonsense, it’s mostly just a feeling" counts as a "hot take" these days, I think he's right

  97. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@joeteicher @mattyglesias @donmoyn Opportunity cost of wasting a child's brainpower and enthusiasm on learning untruths you now need to revert? My sis has to choose her homeschool field trip groups carefully to avoid creation science- would you not?
  98. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@NosretapNiai @troyhunt Yeah, except the cryptocurrency stuff 😏
  99. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@James_J_Hare @alienghic (this is where bipolar is an advantage- the adrenaline triggers a hypomanic state where I'm extra creative and indefatigable when others are freezing up... and the glory of figuring out a tricksy error condition under extreme pressure cancels out months of lazy diva attitude)
  100. Oct 6, 2021Twitter · reply@James_J_Hare @alienghic It's kinda exhilarating though... Geek equivalent of skydiving.
