Bizarre. If Burke’s account of how he obtained the video is true, the government appears to have bought into the idea that it constitutes using “compromised credentials” to visit a publicly accessible URL that a company didn’t want to be publicly known.
letting a little time pass between creation of the new thing + putting more energy into it.
questions i ask myself + think thru:
- do people want/need this?
- is it better than existing solutions?
- is TAM large enough to be economically interesting?
i do this all the time. it works.
Lol. And someone has already released an AI model trained on stills of the now public domain Mickey in case you want the AI to create more Mickeys (that are based on the public domain one, not later ones) for you: huggingface.co/Pclanglais/M...

I also read it as he didn’t get breakfast on the day of his release.
If you are worried about Trump's plan to politicize the executive branch, here is a specific thing you can do: write a public comment supporting a proposed rule that would block Schedule F, Trump's executive order to turn career staff into at-will appointees. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Tomorrow will mark six months since the FBI seized my newsroom. They haven't returned it, or charged me with anything.

Not that we should draw a line, but law and procedure does often lend additional protection to journalistic activity. So it is a little different.
That being said, the raid of @bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us is evidence that in practice the line might not be solid or the protections too weak.
How can you trust a poll with more respondents from one party?
An interactive explanation of poll weighting and oversampling, no paywall.

Thank you for writing this. I’ve been shocked by the well informed people sharing the overweighting malinformation as something nefarious when it’s exactly what pollsters should be doing.
Mozilla's new report on the data privacy of modern cars is nightmare fuel. Enshittification has definitely hit the car industry:
Suppose the US has avoided this inflation, the FX impact would be a huge drag on the trade balance.
I know that feeling. So hard when building your own product. Always more you need to do too
Just ring 3-6, 2-4, 3-6
I understand the feeling 🙃
Nice! Congrats on making it official!
Haha yup I know that feeling :)
If you show that it’s $50 once or $15 a month some people may anchor the value to $15 and want to lock in in case they use it more than 3 mo
As long as it’s low cost long term then it could make sense. I think in the indie hacker community and #buildinpublic many people do a one time payment as a way to get initial users interested in locking in a product.
If it’s something that requires maintaining a backend using non-trivial resources or ongoing support it could be rough long term. That being said as a way to get initial users before charging others monthly could be a good way to attract some initial early adopters
Do speedy trial rights come into play here at all? Suppose one defendant wants it to move along, but other defendants/motions/etc drag it out. Could that sever some defendants?
Or does it not matter in state court, or do those days just not count on anyone’s clock.
If you like legal journalism that shares the documents, two notes:

@benjaminwittes.bsky.social you reported thoroughly on the exports to Ukraine, but the streets of NYC? What did I miss?
Why would a journalist want to withhold public documents from readers when there’s little to no cost to sharing them once acquired?
The suit which was filed in federal court and reviewed by Rolling Stone, claims the Internet Archive's "Great 78 Project" — launched by Internet Archive as a community project for "the preservation, research and discovery of 78rpm records," according to its blog — has violated copyright laws."
Hey Rolling Stone (cc: @althea.bsky.social @noahshachtman.bsky.social) the reason you "obtained and reviewed" the lawsuit is because the filing is public (like basically all federal court filings), and you should link to it rather than pretending it's some secret document only you have access to...
