the weirdest thing is they don't have wifi. you'd think they would've fixed that years ago even if they didn't get new planes

sam walton (tho in keeping w/OP who focused more on infamous, that would be kenneth lay for me)

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER back in theaters before oscars, finally saw it on big screen. Highly recommended- like most PTA films has incredible characters, novel story but with big buget action sets. Probably most mainstream of all PTA movies (my pta favs remain THERE WILL BE BLOOD and BOOGIE NIGHTS).

if i set an alarm on 90 minute multiple from when i go to sleep, this mostly avoids waking up in middle of dreams (and that groggy side effect) fwiw

not really but perhaps even less so if you left out the part about working w/them full time and just focused on the immediate collab opportunity and let things take their natural course?

Consumer illiteracy is a problem, but the news orgs deteriorated too. CNN runs docs on Walter Cronkite [sic] and I've seen anchors point out- a different time, there were only 3 channels so he could have principles. At some level the journs have to please the bosses, and bosses want audience capture

Americans fault news media for dividing nation: AP-NORC poll Ask them about the impact the news media has on democracy, and Americans are likelier to say it's doing more harm than good. A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Researc...

teens get a lot of their ideas from adults including their parents, and if you've ever met adults they are often just as stupid about fact checking: apnews.com/article/poll... But i also agree that cable TV news became as much about entertainment as it is about news. CNN turned into 'Access DC'

that's great, thx for sharing. curious- did you eval other alternatives and how did you discover fastmail? (id never heard of it previously)

where'd you move to?

i think it's cyclical. losing dvd revenue made studio execs more conservative. tarantino regularly opinines rn is a horrible time for movies and it reminds him of the 80s.

this would be a fun one to figure out. you'd have to figure out not just their economic impact but their inflation-adjusted multiplier. since cos like fedex/NBSF prob have big multipliers, and standoil/jpm/ibm/unionpacific prob had big multipliers and huge share back in their days

you're a pretty big content creator. how do you find and curate all these papers? do you have a custom arxiv feed parser and summarizer?

It's amazing how far I have gotten with Makefiles considering that the concept of targets being files went over my head for so long. Credit to the UX that you don't have to know this to get value out

i think it also might make the case more compelling for msft to acquire vscode-based startups

maybe i don't know the vision for your app, if it's against this obv feel free to ignore (but also please inform on the mission of the app if you desire). thx

we've got different crawlers! :) i thought 'touch grass' meant when you stop working, like anywhere from a 1min break to a sabbatical, but google seems a little bit more specific. anyways- app-idea: improving my current physical experience if i am in a spot right now?

hadar- cheers on your holiday. also made me want to ask- does your app have a touch grass feature, or just the benefit?

fwiw when i deleted the purple 'any of these' sections, there was nothing left. also that list of rules is REALLY hard to read. until you sent me the partial zoomed-in screenshot i thought it was just a fake placeholder graphic.

i have used gemini to write working code using unpopular/example-light ~ 600K-token github libraries. ime gemini 2.0/2.5 pro are quite decent w/large contexts.

when he gets away with one thing he goes for more. this isn't new but it's why it's always worse/escalating.

appreciate your other [more-permanent] post, that better explains what you said here. i probably should delete my response, even though it's also positive. appreciate you making me think about social stuff regardless

sorry i didn't realize this at all when i responded your post about getting free beer (new follower, this platform probably did not exist at the start of your personal streak)

could be 4 sure. idk. i know that running is beautiful. beer is beautiful in it's way. combo pack??

wow as a runner that's bizzare to me. however it must work somehow to drive sales/retention? maybe enough people link exercise and drinking?
