It's a matter of values. We believe billionaires can pay a modest wealth tax so working class Californians have the Medicaid your party cut. Texas ranks near last in healthcare, education funding, and worker protections. Meanwhile, we still have an $18 trillion innovation economy because of investment in education & science and attracting hard working immigrants. Happy to show you around the Valley anytime!
Ted Cruz@tedcruz

Please continue driving all the job creators out of California. If anything, 5% is too low. Why not 50%? Texans are enjoying the prosperity!

@reid @RoKhanna Feel like Ro and this proposal are just symptoms. Without a seismic shift/correction in CA politics, “eat the rich” will just keep happening; it’ll be a nonstop year over year fight that gradually breaks in that direction. Damage is done. Austin is cool brother. Come visit ❤️

@RoKhanna Is there any hope you will listen to your own constituents? Where will the money come from after 5 years? How can you even assess the tax?

Am I missing something? Billionaires are all 100% going to leave before this takes effect. This is just a law banning billionaires from California.
Saikat Chakrabarti for Congress@saikatc

.@RoKhanna is right. We have to innovate while making sure a fair share of the new wealth is going to working people. Right now, we are on the verge of creating trillionaires while most people are struggling to afford the essentials. A small wealth tax is the bare minimum.

@RoKhanna Damage is done. The bill is just a symptom. Unless there is a massive political shift in CA, this will keep happening. Move to Texas.

Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts. I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."
Teddy Schleifer@teddyschleifer

NEWS: Larry Page and Peter Thiel are making moves to leave California by the end of the year to avoid a possible billionaires tax that could hit them where it hurts. With @RMac18 + @hknightsf. nytimes.com/2025/12/26/tec…

@gatorsafterdark Have you considered self hosting in a colo? Resellers will sell used rack servers dirt cheap (picked mine up for $600). Can get a server with 12 HDD slots and fill it with 1TB laptop hard drives. That should hold about 20 years of data.

It's like 35GB a month to store every positional update of every train and bus on the @MBTA (not feasible $$ for a nonprofit to store in a hosted db somewhere). We stored a few days' worth, and I've been using it to detect bus bunching with a quick react app I wrote

They say that alchemists had the knowledge to transform mercury into gold. Now observe the position of gold and mercury in the periodic table. Does that make sense to you?

Greetings. I've just pressed the option key and now I am holding it, which is why you see that small reddish capsule at the top of my screen, flashing in synchrony with my voice volume, etcetera. Anyway, I hope that didn't somehow clip the audio. The reason I'm doing this is to show off the fact that I've integrated NVIDIA's new parakeet, or relatively new parakeet, voice transcription speech to text model into Hex, my open source free Mac audio transcription tool. And Parakeet is ridiculously fast, so I will stop rambling in just a moment and release the option key, and it will transcribe and paste into the text box. So yeah, that was very fast. Faster than Whisper. Certainly faster and more accurate than Mac dictation. Uh so yeah, give it a shot and enjoy. The download link to Hex will be uh pasted beneath this transcription.

Many programmers have become so accustomed to the tyranny of the system administrator that they are incapable of imagining a sovereign edge node in an architecture diagram. This is worth fixing.

I would actually purchase this if you replaced the view master VR slot with microfiche and made the toggle at the top a general purpose input. Dolphin v2?

@fresheyeball The insurgent archipelago is well networked and coordinated. It’s opposition is not.

@fresheyeball I _think_ it starts by building our own network support structure that mirrors theirs and can act as an anti-body response.

Could not agree more. However I don't think offense is just resetting bullshit. I don't care much about `main` vs `master` However I can't conceptualize what good offense looks like. Just like it's hard for me to conceptualize what goes on at a libertarian convention. How do we go on the offense without compromising ourselves? How can we go on the offense as people favoring productive construction and opposing destruction? Trying to destroy adversarial projects like Lix is just destructive. I am not changing my git branch from `master` to `trump`. Making an overtly pro heterodoxy COC would work, but feels like playing their game. Maybe we just appoint @sridca to be the one man moderator for all of open source. Seriously, we do need offense, but this isn't it. We can't just start counting their failures as our victories. @dhh not getting canceled is a noop, at best.
John A De Goes@jdegoes

Two weeks, two victories: ✅ The @dhh cancellation attempt failed spectacularly ✅ Nix contributors refused to bend Tech is finally growing a spine against political purges. But these are defensive wins. Playing defense isn't enough. We need OFFENSE and we need it now. 1/4

@fresheyeball Offense looks like identifying the insurgency social networks operating in the software community and expelling these actors. And then sharing the counter insurgency strategies that worked here with the other game boards they’re operating on.

@fresheyeball If you treat this like a software community problem, you’re fighting Plato’s shadow. These are projections of the problem onto the game board YOU are playing on - but the game THEY are playing is far greater.
