I can only react to this image as I am: a Jew. To make Jewish words and phrases interchangeable with ICE detention is to make Judaism the face of fascism. This has happened in Israel and will happen here if we allow it

🚨JOE ROGAN: "People are worried that Elon is going to steal everyone's money. He has $400B. Elon's not going to steal your money. That's not what he's doing. He's a super genius that has been f**ked with. When you've been f**ked with by these nitwits that hide behind 3-letter agencies, and you're dealing with one of the smartest people alive helping Donald Trump get into office and find out what corruption is really going on, you f**ked up.
You f**ked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum. He's going to hunt you down and find out what's going on, and that's good for everybody. That's how you should be looking at this, like 'Wow, we have a brilliant mind examining these really corrupt and goofy systems and bringing in a bunch of psychopath wizards."
🔥🔥🔥

A warning what happens when a tech company prioritizes OKRs (eg "ship the new app in Q2 2024") and hitting artificial goals is what everyone optimizes for. And stops:
- Listening to customers
- Doing proper QA testing
- Holding a new release until it is ready for prod

The SEC talking smack for a month only for Tennessee to get decimated by Ohio State, and then Alabama and South Carolina to get manballed by Michigan and Illinois is the most hilarious storyline in CFB this year.

Microsoft and Satya Nadella’s obsession with the Growth Mindset is abusive and cult-like, defining people’s futures based on how they adhere to a flimsy doctrine interpreted entirely by management, with its own sinners and saints baked in. It's ugly.

Newsletter: Microsoft is a cult driven by “The Growth Mindset,” a psuedo-science that informs recruitment, hiring, firing and promotion decisions, all while instructing employees and managers to generate performance reviews using hallucination-prone AI.

We’re introducing a new release cadence for API versions—twice-yearly major updates with monthly feature enhancements. This schedule helps you better plan development work—Acacia is the first major version under this new model. See how it works: stripe.com/blog/introducing-…
that's cool, but here in Seattle we have an issue with selective enforcement where for some totally random reason rich looking people don't get checked but other people do, which again, totally random

We built @Stripe Workbench to debug, monitor, and grow your integrations with developer tools like a command-line shell and API object inspector to support your flow state. Shell includes nifty commands—and we hid one. (Fun stuff for replies that find it.) stripe.com/blog/workbench-a-…
homeownership is learning that the teflon plumbers tape you see them use on this old house is in fact very much non-optional even though the things screw together just fine
it's taken me some serious introspection but I now understand that I don't hate the ending of Lost, I hate the show-runners and more importantly myself for reading way too much from the arg tie-ins
this "feature" is a pretty serious misstep and should probably get someone fired, but when they make it this hard to disable you just know someone's promotion is on the line end of July

A yellow wire was plugged into the relay connection indicated with the red arrow. I moved it to the green arrow. Fixing this connection made the card reader's bad behavior go away. How this wire got in the wrong place is a mystery. Did it happen recently or 50 years ago? 6/8
ALT A bunch of wires with arrows indicating two positions.
