"A sore day. A red day. Err the sun rises. Ride to ruin." King Theodan, as the Rohirim charge to their doom.
Given everything happening right now, I updated this article with options for weather apps, web forms, and translation services β along with some tweaks to existing categories.
I hope it helps your transition off US tech!
Parabolic in a good way. Most modern graphs of almost any other data are the opposite, including world population.
Deactivated my X account today. Something to be thankful for this holiday season!
Excited to say that my colleague Hui Zhang's magnum opus, providing a detailed technical history of China's nuclear weapons development and testing -- every test, what they learned from it, etc. -- is out now from MIT Press. mitpress.mit.edu/978026205182...
Putting this on my timeline for future reference
In 2010, a scientist argued that 2.1 billion-year-old African specimens showed complex life appearing 500 million years ahead of schedule. His critics say they are β literally β fool's gold. At stake? The question of when and how complex life arose at all.

Anecdotal, but we should circle back on those anti-vax parents to "check in" on their kiddos.
My least favorite brand of doomerism is talking about how we canβt fix any of this and why offered solutions are unworkable and asserting that the electorate is fixed and unchangeable. βCanβtβ is the enemy right now.
Uh oh!
Read @chanda.bsky.social 's full thread. It's important to understand why and how Andreessen's claims aren't just vile but are preposterous.

NOTE: at a moment when everyone was comfortable, when she could have said thank you and had everyone feel great about her, she said the hard thing.
She was willing to be unpopular, to be the buzzkill, to tell them that THEY, THE CAPITALISTS, COULD BE TOPPLED--

There's no more shock left. Shame, maybe.
A lot of us over 40 also feel the same way. Gen X is the first generation to not do better than our parents overall. And the economy was improving under Biden, but Trump is setting us back again. In ways that will be harmful for years to come. We need real change.

This is clarity! Start here. π§
We are preoccupied with human and political catastrophe. Meanwhile this is going on just outside of our camera lenses...

Collective individual action. A thoughtful piece.
No disrespect, we have all kinds of goodness. But Kann is orders of magnitude diff. The ambience, the presentation, the flavors. It's a culinary adventure.
