  3. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Per Britney I think it is called a "conservatorship"?
  4. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@YarisYAML @BlckCatBlckSky "In the name of Satoshi ... and of McAfee... and of the Blockchain Ghost ... " any suggestions for the coordinated hand gestures? 😏

  6. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@YarisYAML @BlckCatBlckSky Also with zero factual basis I've decided to crown him as Satoshi Nakamoto
  7. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky With zero factual basis I've decided to believe McAfee is not actually dead... Kinda an Elvis situation

  12. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@waitbutwhy Are you sure the waitstaff is not prioritizing the amusement of your dining companions over your personal condiment satisfaction?
  13. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky So the Russo-Nordic-Canadian oil conspiracy is proceeding according to plan 😏
  14. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · repostRT @axios: The oversupply and undersupply of vaccines in different parts of the world is probably the biggest failure of international coop…
  15. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · repostRT @agazdecki: Startup success is creating a product you’re passionate about, making customers happy, and laughing with your team daily.
  16. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · quote"accuracy bonds" ♥️ flip neurodiversity into an advantage https://x.com/robinhanson/status/1408108142164992003
  17. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@danielcranney I start with a big block comment explaining to myself what I'm going to implement, keeping notes as I go... Once the code works I refactor so the code reads like the comment block, copy over any non-obvious nugget of info into small inline comments, and delete the original note
  18. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@EmmaBostian Conference call for live integration testing, especially when there are more managers than techies on the invite
  19. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · repostRT @omarish: I'm almost certain that it's just a matter of time before incorporation and simple corporate finance will be doable in code, l…
  20. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@gbrl_dick If you're ritzy enough to have a pool, a greased watermelon fight is obligatory https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aXOwxMkQjPs
  21. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@gbrl_dick Womenfolk cluster near the food to compare potato salad recipes (the secret is always more mayo) and tsk resignedly about the fireworks they know full well Bubba has hidden in the truck... Mix with hollering at their man to put on a hat or at the kids as they trample the flowers
  22. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@gbrl_dick Menfolk stand the grill with their beer, enjoying the god-given freedom to refuse sunscreen and anticipating the "real show" of illegal firecrackers Bubba smuggled in from south of the border, while repeatedly sizing up the overhanging trees where they plan to light them offff
  23. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@gbrl_dick For bonus points arm the kids with a plastic bag of plastic water balloons and set up several sprinklers "for the kids to play" (then blithely ignore that no one is playing in them and you're creating a swamp)
  24. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@gbrl_dick Also give a pocketful of cherry bombs to each kid upon arrival and stack your stockpile of obnoxiously large fireworks in a prominent location to entice your guests to stick around and watch you light "the big one"
  25. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@gbrl_dick The secret is disposable plastic everything, even tablecloths, and responding to euro objections by pointing out "but they're red white and blue!"
  26. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@jsensarma @paulg Tech also has respect for objective truth and an ethos of bowing to superior rationality when it becomes clear you're wrong... If it's just opinion without facts, you get Tabs vs Spaces... So yeah, journalism these days reminds me of a good old fashioned slashdot flame war
  27. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@mattparlmer @weebertarian Yeah, jokes fall flat but people laugh when I'm sincere... an odd path through life, navigating myriad polite social fictions and apologizing for my "disability" of excessive concern for the truth when I mistakenly question a cultural truism.
  28. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@mattparlmer @weebertarian ASD means I have to logic out the things everyone else seems to know by instinct... And I'm sure I still get it wrong more often than most. Quit dating once I'd had enough of playing at normal and found myself misunderstood if I was genuine.
  29. Jun 24, 2021Twitter · reply@mattparlmer @weebertarian Have done, yes. Insecurity in a partner is such a turnoff, I try to set them up for success.
  30. Jun 23, 2021Twitter · reply@weebertarian @mattparlmer As a man, guaranteed happy ending if you tell me you're reading an advance copy of something on my preorder list
  31. Jun 23, 2021Twitter · reply@weebertarian @mattparlmer As a woman, size 'em up and toss out one step down from the most intellectually challenging book they're likely to have read.. let 'em give a superior smile and "ah yes, I've read that, but you know what was even better..." (Cue wide-eyed admiration for their recommendation)
  32. Jun 23, 2021Twitter · repostRT @FastCompany: A single one-liter bottle can now be recycled into material for around 10 standard two-by-four Lego bricks. https://t.co/9…
  33. Jun 23, 2021Twitter · reply@SpaceXMR Proof that aliens live among us 🛸
  34. Jun 23, 2021Twitter · quoteRT @vgcerf: Definitely worth attending - nuts and bolts on interstellar communication https://x.com/IPNSIG/status/1405227842556755968
  35. Jun 23, 2021Twitter · quote😂 "chant in Slavic tongues" ... I thought it was just me... https://x.com/SwiftOnSecurity/status/1407722040099061766
  36. Jun 23, 2021Twitter · reply@lexfridman Lesson 1 in Lex's Guide to Training Your AI gf?
  37. Jun 22, 2021Twitter · reply@AdsoOfBelk Once upon a time this existed- Craigslist...
  38. Jun 22, 2021Twitter · repostRT @FastCompany: I left the ad industry because our use of data tracking terrified me http://f-st.co/kV3O6RF
  39. Jun 22, 2021Twitter · reply@Lili13720469 @OneStopFlips Oh, no, this is paying for their estate lawyer fees, a one-time thing but they've been procrastinating
  40. Jun 22, 2021Twitter · reply@OneStopFlips Oh and sign up for more personal training... Investment in my health
  41. Jun 22, 2021Twitter · reply@OneStopFlips Refill savings drawn down to pay estimated taxes... always think I'll get a refund, and then something always comes up, sigh... Oh and pay for my parents' estate plan ($10K apparently? How complicated can it be?)
  42. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · reply@AlexandriasTech Probably a few sessions within that timeframe, easier to ask the candidate to block off the whole time for flexibility. Pre-WFH it would've been fly in for an office visit, which is why it's all on one day.
  43. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · reply@max_hodak Mm, take it further into the future and back into the past- we need a modern mythology to make sense of the rapid change.
  44. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · reply@max_hodak True, container shortage and ports all backed up, record trade deficit...
  45. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · repostRT @ValaAfshar: It is easy to overlook potential when your imagination is out of focus. https://t.co/yMlk4OEuli
  46. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · reply@elonmusk @karpathy Open an office in NoVA, I'd love to work for Tesla 💕
  47. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · quoteMost important news all week https://x.com/defcon/status/1407118536665825280
  48. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · reply@RationalEtienne @dami_kolz @elonmusk @SpaceX @Kristennetten @DimaZeniuk @daelmor @harsimranbansal @EvaFoxU @AstroJordy @WholeMarsBlog @Nikola_Truth @greendtstudio So important when evaluating potential employers!
  49. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · reply@hikingskiing I've said I want to die on Mars, just not on impact.
  50. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky I said "sincere act" 🙂 ... I think he half-believes it, on a good day.
  51. Jun 21, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Hah, this is exactly why I love Mayor Pete! He does the sincere act, I sit back and cheer him on with a clear conscience that someone more competent than me is serving the public.
  52. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@noampomsky Give two options with the same reward, one much more risky than the other. If their reaction is anything other than "no-brainer, take the safer option" there's something wrong ...
  53. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@powerbottomdad1 In my experience it is all about their ego first, sex second (so, best to play dumb if you're in the mood)
  54. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@anothercohen But... extemporaneous high-conviction BS is an *art*
  55. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias Record a hidden camera reality TV show where friends set up their needle-phobic bro to be bullied into a public vaxx at Coyote Ugly.
  56. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias The best thing they could do would be to pay a bunch of MAGA-land celebs to do pro-vaxx ads, restock the vaxx lotteries with front-row season tickets for top college football teams, and hire strippers to administer J&J shots at bars.
  57. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@saminacodes I mean DEFCON is always an option... 😏
  58. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · repostRT @Rainmaker1973: This article presents an active ball joint mechanism (ABENICS) enhanced by interactions of spherical gears. The gearbase…
  59. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · repostRT @HousingOC: https://t.co/pAqkZhiIZJ
  60. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@RationalEtienne @dami_kolz @elonmusk @Kristennetten @DimaZeniuk @melaniemadri @CodingMark @28delayslater @harsimranbansal @EvaFoxU @WholeMarsBlog @Nikola_Truth Virginia used to be the capital of the Confederacy.... Bureaucrats changed that for the better and now we're Bezonia East 😂
  61. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@natmiletic Did not realize WordPress counted as a "programming language" these days. I'm reluctant to grant "language" status to PHP even...😏🔥
  62. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@paulg @ryan_landay Friction is good 🙂
  63. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky It seems like a lot of people are seriously unhappy about their student loans, so maybe it shouldn't be "exactly" the same?
  64. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@wesyang Yes. I can totally see Elon Musk being true friends with intellectuals and makers living on low income while pursuing their dreams.
  65. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@peregrine @granitestatelad @Crey1959 @mattyglesias @Noahpinion I just think not all coders need a college education (and my co. hires ppl without CS degrees), but at the same time the strongest coders I've known are the ppl who find this content intuitive, whether they bothered with a degree or not.
  66. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · repostRT @wooldridgemike: Random AI thought of the day: the ML boom has suddenly put continuous maths centre stage in comp sci departments. When…
  67. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@AnfibiaCreativa 🤦‍♀️this is why 10xers are a thing 😂
  68. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@peregrine @granitestatelad @Crey1959 @mattyglesias @Noahpinion Also admittedly they were the most fun courses, along with DS&A and automata.
  69. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@peregrine @granitestatelad @Crey1959 @mattyglesias @Noahpinion I've used various bits over the years... Maybe the paradigm should shift away from 4 yrs Ed at beginning of career towards incremental Ed as needed, but if you have to prep someone all at once I think these courses are important, and last longer than learning any particular tech
  70. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@granitestatelad @Crey1959 @peregrine @mattyglesias @Noahpinion Probability, Logic, Discrete math, Linear Alg, Numerical Analysis, Graph Theory all very useful for coders.
  71. Jun 20, 2021Twitter · reply@FastCompany Perhaps... Otoh I've felt much more positive about my team since we've been back in the office together- nonverbal communication is a big help!
  72. Jun 19, 2021Twitter · reply@RationalEtienne @elonmusk @teslaownersSV Elon Elon lama sabachthani?
  73. Jun 19, 2021Twitter · reply@RationalEtienne @elonmusk @jeremyjudkins Rate of 42 "blessed" cars / day for 2021... Is this why 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?
  74. Jun 16, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Ok, specifically thinking of a grocery coop where I'd considered making a loan as a member-owner, but reading the terms decided against.. biz dev consultant said 90% of coop loans are repaid on time.. risk vs return seemed worse than S&P ETF
  75. Jun 16, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias I'd also point out that we are very open to nontraditional backgrounds- code academy, whatever... We do coding task interviews- as long as someone proves they can do the work, it is actually better to hire people with diverse lived experience.
  76. Jun 16, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias My co has applicants do a quantitative aptitude test which is probably pretty damn correlated with IQ but technically isn't IQ - avoids culture-specific references, more justifiably related to the actual job. We only talk to the top 20% of applicants, it is our biggest filter.
  77. Jun 16, 2021Twitter · reply@matthuang @tylercowen It's funny how people pit DeFi against traditional banks, when banks are working on blockchain projects.. likely outcome is that banks are still the way most people interact with the financial system, but the system's innards are made more secure by blockchain.
  78. Jun 16, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky Yeah, it is hard for coops to raise money... Imo the reason for this is the risk of failure vs limited upside.
  79. Jun 16, 2021Twitter · reply@ValaAfshar @elonmusk Elon has really aged since his SNL appearance! 😮
  80. Jun 16, 2021Twitter · reply@elonmusk @RationalEtienne @tesla_raj The Air Purification is of the top reasons I really wish I had a charging solution so I could buy a Tesla.
  81. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@pottsmark @Twitter @ARLnowDOTcom 100% agree ... Local political candidates are given an op ed before every election and sometimes follow up to engage readers in the comments section- not verifying ARLnow is another sign Twitter doesn't really care about the risk of political misinformation.
  82. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@futurepundit @mattparlmer Having spent the past two days curled up in bed with food poisoning, I think the sanitation improvements alone are worth the investment in automation...
  83. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@joespurpleshirt I'd take a well-stocked Kindle plus 4 books myself 🙂
  84. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · post'One can't believe impossible things.' I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.' --Lewis Carroll

  86. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @_curiousyellow We would exchange long emails about philosophy and technology and music and various humanitarian concerns, then meet up and not talk so much as do other things...
  87. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @_curiousyellow Idk, it just never came up? When he gave me his number the day we met I saved it as "Irish Guy" and that's who he was to me for a year
  88. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @_curiousyellow Nothing, just happened to see his name on a printout when I was at his apartment one
  89. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky @_curiousyellow I fell in love with a guy, dated for a year, stopped seeing three other people to focus on him, but didn't learn his name until after we broke up (met in a loud coffee shop and couldn't hear him introduce himself, too embarrassed to ask later)
  90. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@ESYudkowsky @mattyglesias Where were you when I convinced myself that my alcoholic boyfriend would change?
  91. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky I think so... You seem to look at things with fresh eyes, which is maybe half the battle?
  92. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky A background of dross makes your diamonds of rationality shine all the brighter.
  93. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@RationalEtienne @elonmusk True, but doesn't always feel like it haha
  94. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · postCrypto Twitter vs Ted Cruz... Can't wait! https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/06/15/chinas-bitcoin-miner-exodus-.html
  95. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@BlckCatBlckSky That everyone's opinion is of equal value.
  96. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@0x26d No this is genius 💕 https://github.com/uhyo/EmojiScript
  97. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · repostRT @VisitVirginia: Virginia has a surprising amount of restaurants that truly do justice to the farm to table movement. https://t.co/Qc0igl…
  98. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@cSchaez @mateosfo ARLnow has an interesting hybrid of free ad-supported articles (no paywall) but a Patreon for regular readers to pay a voluntary $6 or $10 / mo. I wouldn't have subscribed immediately but as a regular readers I'm happy to do my part to keep them going.
  99. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@mateosfo For me all credit to our local news site @ARLnowDOTcom ... Coverage of local government initiatives with regular opinion pieces and a lively commentariat- our own virtual town square.
  100. Jun 15, 2021Twitter · reply@AndyfromTucson @mattyglesias I'm not alarmed because I don't really care about the continuation of the species and if it happens within my lifetime, what an epic way to go. But computers don't adhere to human sense of scale, things tend to happen fast or not at all.
