I'm not big on aggregates and abstracts. Generational change means diddly to me. Getting rid of the pathetic, weak-sauce whiners who won't do their duty, serve their constituents, and fight for what's right and good is where it's at. Old, young, whatever... #JustFightForUs
No matter where you are in the solar system, if you suddenly hear someone howling with laughter amid the on-going horror, it's me right now...

I guess we're finding out what it's like to be the proxy in a proxy war... 😬
Amen! The not-so-offline backups are also the first targets for #ransomware actors who have a clue (if that's not an oxymoron). "Let's sip our #cloud archives back through a straw when we need to restore everything all at once!" is not an option... 👿
Looks like they had an internal oopsy rather than a missile oopsy in this case...

If that's really how the average Israeli on the street feels, this is going to be a very long war waged far beyond the boundaries of those pesky rules of engagement. Netanyahu and his coalition partners won't be allowed to do less...

That's a fascinating read. It's almost like the Ayatollah listened to speeches by Reagan, Bolton, and others and decided that they spoke for America... 🤔

Indeed... The media calling Brandon Herrera a "2nd amendment activist" is such an understatement...
It would be amazing to get Mandy Patinkin to come back as the original Sam Francisco... 🙏
She's no Phil Coulson!
A4) Sounds like a good recipe. Aligning w/ business goals and keeping one eye outside the company on customers competitors, potential disruptors, and opportunities is becoming a #CIO necessity (almost) w/o regard to the make-up of the C-suite. #ciochat
A3.2) Literally *everything* is connected, and pretending otherwise just gets us in trouble. Holistic approaches are harder and sometimes costlier up front, but finding and debugging the issues between services (at every level) reduces risk across the board. #ciochat
A3.1) Balancing "left of boom" and "right of boom" planning & prep. Tabletop exercises to keep costs down but vigilence up. The real difference between #IT Service Continuity and true business continuity... #ciochat
A2) Prioritizing relationship management, partnerships across the C-suite and LoBs, and proactive, transparent communication so nobody has to guess when / why / whether we're super busy or running short on other resources. Not redefining success criteria midstream. #ciochat
That would explain so much!
A1) At the last day job, it was the dark side of "ownership". Not just petty fiefdoms and bickering but "we own this [data, service, contract, whatever] and can cut everyone out as much as we want". The "... and find out" stages were predictably brutal. #ciochat
Holy smokes! Clicked on this thinking it was just a local-interest kind of story. A sub-contractor running AT&T #fiber into the neighborhood hit a gas line. As much as I hate the clutter of crap on the power/phone poles, we have got to be careful about digging...

💯 Exactly! He (and others in this administration) remind me way too much of scenes from the A Team movie, but they're all on the bad guy's side.
Sam Altman arguing against both democracy and capitalism when he's a massive beneficiary of both? I can't imagine why OpenAI's board fired him the last time... 🤔
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Starting a war on 2 fronts with a 3rd (Gaza) and 3.5th (West Bank) front not entirely peaceful seems like a very bad strategic move. It also begs the question of how huge their munitions stockpiles must be to think they can sustain this. Nobody's production capabilities are endless...
Between the US and some of our allies, we manage not to learn (or retain) the basic lessons over and over. Adjusting to the "new realities" of cheap drones, etc. seems completely beyond them. I keep expecting Sun Tzu and Clausewitz to zombify and storm the pentagon out of sheer outrage...
A so-called "double tap" strike with "precision" munitions that blew up a school and killed dozens of girls and others counts as a "stunning aerial success"? I'm not sure "shock and awe" means what they think it means...
I'm a huge fan of #transit and especially trains, but ... $268B? In America? Right now? With this "administration" in place? That seems like a mighty tough sell... #FingersCrossed since it might pave the wave for at least a less-carbonized future...

Determinism - Probably my biggest issue with #AI coding assistants. If I have to know exactly what it changed after each cycle, it's probably not buying me a lot of overall #velocity. If it *can* change anything / everything and ignore guardrails, even more so...

I started following this channel last Spring when the question was "will container traffic from Asia drop off due to tariffs?" Daily updates about the state of things in the Strait of Hormuz and beyond are really interesting ... and pretty darn scary.

Apparently shared by Hegseth, et al, during a press conference... 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Some say AI tastes like Tasty Wheat... But, how did the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? 😇
I sure am glad Chuck Schumer was there to move a few shovels of dirt in New York state for Micron's campus that's not supposed to be fully operational until 2041... CHIPS and Science has/had issues...

At the same time, I can imagine Thiel-as-Palpatine (IX) saying "I *made* Trump-as-Snoke!"
