@seempaq Someone gave me a smartwatch and I used it for a bit until one day I forgot to recharge it and that was that
English
Took me 24h once I got one lol.
S.🎧@1ssve
one day you wake up and just stop wearing your Apple Watch

Just know that if you need to get a passport renewed within 48 hours, you might have to meet someone in an empty DTLA parking lot at 7AM to do the final exchange.
English
@friedmandave investors are punished for being wrong the problem with academics is they live insulated lives and there's no consequences for it
English
Much of the weapons-grade misinformation in the world actually comes from academics who speak confidently about things outside their field of expertise
Timothy Snyder@TimothyDSnyder
The primary cause of the national debt is that the very wealthy don’t pay taxes. Migrants pay their share. The oligarchs Miller fronts for do not.

@charlesmurray @avidseries I'll help out here gents. It's low information density on purpose, you listen while commuting or perhaps jogging - it's entertainment and passes the time
English
@avidseries Me too. Do not understand their popularity.
English
I've never listened to a podcast for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I don't have the patience to listen to people ramble on while I wait for them to talk about something I might be interested in. I'm not sure there's ever been a less efficient way to transmit information.
English
@sbyrnes Yeah ofc - look if they qualified it in the story as 'far left' I wouldn't have said anything here
English
@AdamSinger Sure, but that's different than the media giving them the name "the squad" which didn't happen.
English
Everyone the media doesn't like that says supposedly extreme things such as "we like our country" and isn't pro infinite immigration is 'far right' but the far left terrorist sympathizers who want authoritarian socialism get cute names like "the squad." And this happens globally
English
The craziest thing about Newsom's $100 million wildlife bridge is that it will allow cougars, an apex predator, direct access into a suburban neighborhood filled with pets, children, and the elderly. It's like the radical environmentalist version of The Purge.
English
@ErikVoorhees Also I take the opposite perspective I kinda think it's cool the AI is trained on thousands of my blog posts and likely my albums since I have several published under creative commons. Maybe a small way of helping future humans in addition to present
English
"AI is trained on your data"... this is not the real risk. It's a red herring, manufactured as The Concern because who cares that much.
The real risk to you is not that tomorrow's model is trained on your data.
The real risk is that ten thousand employees, hackers, and governments can access all your most personal and proprietary conversations today and forever.
Privacy must be the default or humanity is seriously fucked.

Me realizing that the blue states are about to experience a full-on tax-pocalypse.
English
New York and California politicians exist just to do marketing for moving to Texas and Florida at this point
Matt Whitlock@MattWhitlock
Kathy Hochul making a weak plea for wealthy people who have left New York (to red states like Florida) to come back to pay their high taxes to fund failing (unaccountable) social programs: “I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs we have in our state. Some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. Ok! Cut the me the checks. But if you want to supportive, maybe the first step should be go down to palm beach and see who you can bring back home
English
@sbyrnes I think it would be consistent to qualify them as "far left" since they say "far right" to so many things every day ...my ongoing problem is there's no limiting principle (very few in the media say when the left is too extreme - it's well documented many have pointed this out)
English
@AdamSinger They gave themselves that name, just like MAGA. You want the media to be the bad guys but in this case you just got it wrong.
English
@bgurley Can always have several email addresses (ie, 1 just for friends and close contacts, one for work, one for subscriptions). I have a few accounts and some are much cleaner bc very few people know about them. Works well for me
English
I fear that AI has decimated the traditional email inbox as we know it. Too many personalized emails slip through spam filter. Hope someone builds a better mousetrap. This one is cooked in its current form.
English
@joeciarallo I believe my first post covered this it's just not interesting to me
English
@AdamSinger From what I read in the NYT story, it seems like the business and brand are doing fairly well. Not sure I'd call what the publish "political slop."
English
This is just so strange to me. There's no life science pub that's openly hostile to people who work in that industry. Same w/QSR or any other sector. I guess admission is it's just a political rag now (which isn't all that interesting or special, even if it gets views). TBPN moon

Actually there is strong scientific consensus on what biological sex is, this isn’t complicated and you don't even need to be an MD to grasp, it’s basic biology
English
@joeciarallo yeah sure but differentiation is tech and gadgets, there's 1000 other places that push political slop - why kill what defines their brand, muddies it honestly in a world of infinite content
English
@AdamSinger I view Wired as much more than a trade publication covering a specific industry.
