@DrPippaM @AmericanALCHMY Looks to me, I could still behind a payroll

In the interest of furthering understanding and public debate in the aftermath of my father's profound interview with Jesse Michael on @AmericanALCHMY, I have moved a two-part article from behind the paywall. They address the question: Why was JFK such a threat? Why was he killed? My Dad was an advisor to him during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Part One open.substack.com/pub/drpippa/p/… Part Two open.substack.com/pub/drpippa/p/…

@rdviii Yum

Harvest from a friend!

@rdviii Compared to United States. There are enormous number of public toilets in Japan, and to top it all off they are clean

Japan still has a horrible problem with toilet accessibility, but in big train stations, stores and malls they are adding adequately large individual toilets and calling them "multipurpose toilets", with multiple icons, often with ostomates facilities and changing tables.

Tell Congress not to stop you from buying and selling things online. Keep SHOP SAFE from becoming law. act.eff.org/action/don-t-l…

@rdviii Where

@rdviii My fancy

Checked in, waiting in the first class lounge.

@rdviii Yes Carver did do it

She and Caltech's Carver Mead basically invented the academic discipline of designing chips, and the rules by which we design them, by coauthoring one of the most important tech books of the 20th century.

@rdviii Not here

揺れ？

@rdviii Most bank in NYC have maybe 1floor person

Currently sitting in the bank. Every employee in sight, over 20 people, is a woman, except the security guard and one guy at a supervisor's desk. (Are there any branch banks in the U.S. that still have this many floor employees, of any gender or age?)

@rdviii I got behind Sept 1969 when I started at UC Irvine

THIS.

@rdviii It may be stories about severe reaction to the second shots. I had no bad reactions actually slight tiredness

Wow, Hawaii has an 18% gap between 1st & 2nd dose percentages; PA and IL at 13%, most states around 6-8%. What's driving these big gaps? Policy emphasizing first shots? Something else? washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/…

@rdviii Looks like Goverment centers use Pfizer and companies and universities use moderate

Got the shot, now chilling in a waiting room with Keio fight songs playing over the speakers.

Interested in the *very* earliest days of distributing computing systems? Come learn about @farber's DCS. A most enjoyable 80 minutes, if I do say so myself. ccrc.keio.ac.jp/50dcs/

@rdviii They are off to a very bad start

First time I've heard him state such a goal; if he said *when* the 1M/day mark is expected to be met, I missed it. All 35M old people by end of July would require hitting that beginning late this month. (I suspect only 70% will take it, anyway.)

@rdviii @PatrickSherriff @PatrickESavage I agree Rodney

Oh, @PatrickSherriff @PatrickESavage we need a service like this in Tokyo.

@danfinnigan @mengwong Hi Dan and Meng Dan looking forward when I get back to USA from my 4 years in Tokyo

@farber @mengwong Great to see you on Twitter, Professor @farber. It’s me, @danfinnigan Stay safe in the pandemic and let’s get together when it’s over!

Historians of computing, remind me – I once heard of a clever but very clumsy programmer who kept dropping his cards. He eventually put a couple lines of code into the top of each punch card so it didn't matter if they were inserted in unsorted sequence. Is this possible/factual?

@mengwong particular segment coded it in the card I’m trying to remember which system did that I know there was one while I was at Bell Labs. It may have been SOS I’m just by memory is not that good it was 60 years ago

@rdviii Yum yum missed having turkey

Moved dinner time back to 4pm. Just put the bird in the oven. Glaze: garlic, soy sauce, honey, fresh crushed anise, plum liqueur, black pepper, yuzu kosho.

@bobhinden @rdviii Yup

My best guess is still that he goes to Mar a Lago for Christmas, and never returns to the White House. I think he doesn't want the humiliation of meeting Biden, and is too much of a coward to force a confrontation on whether he has to move out.
