I just finished Chris Dixon's "Read Write Own" and came away skeptical.

Surprised that someone this serious still expects blockchains to unleash a fresh wave of shared prosperity/innovation.

I want to believe! Where are the compelling projects and follows who aren't in the casino contingent?

MAGA morality: Put thousands of federal employees on leave, cut aid that sustains countless lives, demonize your opponents, and then enjoy the suffering of your enemies.

But then - when one DOGE worker is fired for vicious racism -say, "Where's the grace and mercy in this country?"

If Trump is worried about Chinese or Russian encroachment on Greenland, we could figure out who currently controls it and sign some agreement to cooperate with them on defense matters. Who knows, maybe other countries in the North Atlantic region might also want to join.

Anyway, worth looking into.

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

Think I'm going to start describing doing drugs as "accepting a CHOAM directorship."

"Пекло" для росіян. Як Україна робила супер-дрон, а вийшла крилата ракета Відставання від росіян в потужній і далекобійній зброї українці намагались компенсувати через створення безпілотника-камікадзе нового рівня. В якийсь момент все пішло не за планом і на виході Україна ...

⚡️ Ukraine’s new “Peklo” cruise missile enters mass production: over the past three months, the manufacturer has produced around 100 units. The missile boasts a striking range of 700 km.

This is such a beautiful algorithm (and a nice analysis): to check if an array is sorted vs. far from being sorted (many entries need to be changed), just:
- pick an element uniformly at random in the array
- "forget" where it was
- try to find it again via binary search
Repeat this a few times.

Hot take: Jesse Singal is a fine journalist about whom people tell constant lies. That 2018 cover story for The Atlantic about trans kids is actually a sensitive and well balanced piece of reporting. We all could learn a lot from his coverage of science.

A Syrian Air plane took off from Damascus airport around the time the capital was reported to have been taken by rebels, according to data from the Flightradar website.
The aircraft initially flew towards Syria's coastal region, a stronghold of Assad's Alawite sect, but then made an abrupt U-turn and flew in the opposite direction for a few minutes before disappearing off the map.

Two Syrian sources tell @reuters.com there’s a “very high probability” that Assad’s plane has crashed.

Assad regime’s fall in Syria is a symptom of fascist Russia’s weakness and will shrink its power in the east Mediterranean region. Uprising in Georgia is also a sign of Kremlin weakness, which was largely caused by Ukraine’s defiant resistance. Time for all-out aid to Ukraine.

🇸🇾👀 Syrian rebels have entered Assad's palace in Damascus. What Russia has been building in this country for almost 10 years has been destroyed.

‼️ This morning, the rebels announced the beginning of a new era. People in Syria are celebrating in the streets.

The image is gorgeous, made me click!

Wonder if you’ve considered skeeting each element of your proposed framework as a thread? That along with screenshotted examples would be awesome.

I’m here primarily because of your recent mention of it on the pod.

I left the bird site when Musk took over and am interested to find a new “marketplace of ideas” that’s not so hate-infested.

On va voir…

Everyone’s mad that Trump has appointed almost all billionaires but you have to understand that billionaires are a good choice because they are immune to the temptations created by things like empathy or recognizing other people as autonomous human beings rather than objects

Hey Bluesky! Happy to get my invite this morning, trepidatious about possibly spending too much time.

First stop: Finding some C and Python nerds. 🤓
