- Jun 6, 2021Twitter · reply@ImogenBits I ♥️ my paper notebooks, fountain pens, 18 x 24 drawing pads, whiteboards, sketches on the back other people's printouts.. There's something about tactile manipulation that inspires divergent thinking
- Jun 6, 2021Twitter · reply@RationalEtienne @teslatidbits @rob_astbury @elonmusk Oth args are it'd take several years to get a fab producing chips and the current shortage will likely ease before then. 's an economy-of-scale business and over time the tech changes- wouldn't want to see Tesla stuck on old chips (I'm a big SiC / GaN fan due to fam in radar)
- Jun 6, 2021Twitter · reply@ank253 @elonmusk @teslaownersSV You don't *need* to burn coal, you choose to burn coal rather than allow modern nuclear... Stop devouring our WV mountaintops!

- Jun 5, 2021Twitter · reply@geekethics Very true, but obfuscating with complications is more polite... "I'll never want this to be more than sex because you're cuter when you don't talk" vs "I'm happy being single and my hobbies keep me busy, let's just keep things simple ok?"
- Jun 5, 2021Twitter · reply@RationalEtienne @elonmusk @CryptoWhale Also make up your mind whether it is a currency (flat stable value, widely accepted, low txn cost) or an investment (backed by actual goods / services with increasing value justifying HODLing "to the moon"), or just a collectible (value driven by rarity vs popularity)

- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@AmandaAskell @ATabarrok And deeply aggravating to be bullied by these same people when you admit vote for the more moderate Dem in a primary because they better align with your economic self-interest
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@geekethics 🤣 100% this ... And yet, the illusion of rational intellect pervades our society, to our immense detriment
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@Jai__Malik Issue 7- (the final straw for me)- when you tell non-techies about your work, 100% of the time they respond with "oh, so you're like that hacker who ..." (Latest news story) And you have to smile and pretend it isn't an insult to be compared to the criminals you fight
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@Jai__Malik Issue 6- you're never off the clock- you'll be pinged at any random hour CTO arrives home from a long flight having read about some new exploit.. or if there's an afterhours network issue- usually it's an internal screw-up but people remember the alarm more than the resolution
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@Jai__Malik Issue 5- to be a true all-round cybersecurity expert you need to understand the *entire* stack of abstractions, from hardware exploits and crypto maths to network protocols to application layer to UX and human factors- not easy, you'll always have a bit of imposter syndrome
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@Jai__Malik Issue 4- most coders prefer to write code than read it, prefer greenfield to legacy complexity, prefer creating something new rather than protecting someone else's creation - basically, it isn't fun work for the average dev personality
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@Jai__Malik Issue 3- security often works against other goals (at least superficially), you will be the team scold and naysayer, with all the popularity that entails.
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@Jai__Malik Issue 2- it is difficult for anyone outside the field to evaluate the quality of your work; failure is sudden, public and painful; success is unseen, and tbh many people "succeed" through luck rather than skill (rather like hedge fund managers)
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@Jai__Malik Issue 1- as with covid, some people want absolute assurances (which don't exist, given real world constraints) ... as the "expert" you will have to mediate countless debates between the risk averse and the reckless, both sides arguing without a firm grasp of the facts
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@Jai__Malik Security is a thankless job - anyone smart and informed enough to realize this will avoid broadcasting their expertise lest they be saddled with the work.
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@FastCompany Working for / with the government would be more attractive if political leaders and pundits were not so blatantly dismissive of facts that don't suit their narrative. 1 + 1 does not equal 3 no matter how convenient it would be or how warm and fuzzy it would make someone feel.
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@dfee @atShruti Idk, there's a certain appeal to moving around to help with the biggest problems- analyzing the PMF, setting architectural direction, making major hires, troubleshooting a scalability crisis without being committed to a single company for years.

- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@geekethics My plan is to invest in a lifestyle that doesn't rely on the monetary system so I don't need to worry about inflation or taxes. We don't have a human capital tax so the benefits of DIY remain with the producer- hobbies all day, time bank with neighbors, life will be ok.
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@geekethics Yeah I'm convinced our current system is headed for a meltdown and feel helpless to influence the outcome. Regardless of how they shuffle the chairs, an economy where most people feel entitled to consume without producing is going to have issues.
- Jun 4, 2021Twitter · reply@pbodycoltrane @brianbeutler Boo, everyone is (rightly) angry about Trump tryin to overturn the election but then happy to suggest usurping the will of voters in other states (because if you actually left it to WV to replace Manchin you would not get a Dem replacement)

- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias (funny part being that my hobby is gardening- so, plenty of digging holes either way ... Agency matters!)
- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias I mean they have a point- if I got UBI I'd immediately quit my job to spend more time on hobbies... If I had to spend the day digging and refilling holes for my check, I'd probably stick to mucking around with the internet
- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@kcristol @NoVaTransit Fare free would be even better 🙂 good for the environment, low wage workers, and tourism; would speed up bus loading, reduce parking pressure, and save the expense of the fare collection system
- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@TheJackForge AWS will launch code help aaS .. Only to see devs hop to other sites asking how to access CloudCorrect .. Which will be an obscure IAM permission, which by default emails your dumbest questions to your boss .. From there it will be great .. until you get your first month's bill.

- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@engineers_feed You mean Al Gore *didn't* invent the internet? 😯
- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@SmithInAmerica The scary part is how cryptocurrency has enabled ransomers to get away with the loot- we are at risk if terrorists can use the same financial network - I hope the Biden admin has defenses against this?
- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias Idk, I find it quixotically hopeful that so many people *care* so deeply about things have nothing to do with their day-to-day
- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@mattschaar @Jai__Malik One surprising lesson learned- 11pm calls with my India dev team went *much* better when I was so drunk the room was spinning. Objectively more forward momentum and fewer miscommunications uncovered in subsequent days. What's the consulting version of the Ballmer Peak?
- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias Inflationary pressure yes, "dangerous" ... Idk? Let's go full MMT- abolish the IRS, the inflation *is* the tax.

- Jun 3, 2021Twitter · reply@chrismanfrank No, really don't- if you teach kids what it means to "know about" something, they will be perpetually disappointed by "experts" for the rest of their lives. Low expectations are the key to happiness!

- Jun 2, 2021Twitter · reply@mattschaar @Jai__Malik At worst you will learn to pull yourself together for 8am meetings despite 12 hr workdays followed by an hour on the hotel treadmill and then 6 hrs drinking on the company credit card with "handsy" bosses.
- Jun 2, 2021Twitter · reply@XpogchampX @Supermantibody @teslavibes Gahhhh! My fed taxes the last five years were $35K, $77K, $30K, $46K, and $20K ... How do people get away with paying so little, what am I doing wrong?!?
- Jun 2, 2021Twitter · reply@driftlesstony @teslavibes No, that's a tax deduction... A tax credit is dollars off the balance due.

- Jun 2, 2021Twitter · reply@MillionGardens Yes... Sadly my community garden stretches along a busy bike path with no shade, so there's not good place for socializing- I hadn't considered talking to folks at the farmers market instead!
- Jun 2, 2021Twitter · reply@scottreuwho @ezraklein Yes fair enough, I'm just wondering who's going to grow the food if everyone can take benefits indefinitely? Not saying existing private corps are the answer, but what is? I grow some of my own food but not yet 100%

- Jun 2, 2021Twitter · reply@mattyglesias Sounds like a fun DIY project in your future 😉
- Jun 2, 2021Twitter · reply@scottreuwho @ezraklein I was thinking of the defense production act- people expect the government to ensure supply of certain goods, and those goods require labor to produce... So to an extent I DO expect the government to incentivize working over not working.
- Jun 2, 2021Twitter · reply@NickGalluzzo2 @ezraklein I mean, I assume the answer is to raise prices... Either demand will support the increase or you have to conclude that the market doesn't want what you're selling and it's time to close up shop.
