@modestproposal1 Extra Cash in hand is still a thing. Not sure that’ll work for AV… maybe promise some extra tokens for the kids or something

Something lost in the shift to Uber and that will get worse with AVs is the chaotic energy unleashed from telling a cabbie you’re late and need them to floor it. Now you just have to admit defeat.

@CaptainCons And people not being miffed you're not reachable. The possibility created the trap.

@haagseinsider Accijnzen omlaag is absolute waanzin als het probleem een tekort is.

Australische premier spreekt bevolking toe over de energiecrisis. Hij roept landgenoten op het openbaar vervoer te gebruiken waar dat mogelijk is om brandstof te besparen. Accijnzen gaan flink omlaag.

@jjvpeperstraten Ik zou de EW redactie niet direct bij de intellectuelen indelen.

'Denken ze nu echt dat een universitair geschoolde filosoof met een onnavolgbaar betoog over ‘onttovering van de leefwereld’ per definitie meer bijdraagt dan een hbo’er die een logistiek probleem oplost voor een militaire installatie?' ewmagazine.nl/kennis/opinie/…

Bijzonder dat India hun eigen talenten niet in India wil houden.

Politiek verkwanselt Unilever aan Engeland. Brits bedrijf belooft dat voedseldivisie bij afsplitsing hoofdkantoor te Nederland krijgt. Engels bedrijf verkoopt voedseldivisie aan Amerikaan. Hoofdkantoor naar de VS en minister staat er bij (…) te klappen. nos.nl/artikel/260853…

@signulll Maybe I'm never getting enough email. But for me it's discard, read and discard, do, or do later. No filing system, because search works. There's very little immediate discard because spam filters work and my work environment is sensible. Not sure how a bot will improve stuff.

inbox zero is a regarded.
it assumes you should be the routing layer for your own information & that every message deserves a human decision about what to do with it. that's insane in 2026. your ai agent should surface what matters when it matters & let everything else decay into searchable memory. there will be no archive, no folders, & no flags. just relevance which is always computed in real time.
the end state is a single intelligent stream that triages everything in your life & not just one app's queue. this is coming & it will change the way you process / consume anything.

Nu kun je alleen aan de universiteit een doctorstitel halen, terwijl ook op het hbo keihard wordt gewerkt aan praktijkgericht onderzoek met directe impact. Dat verdient meer erkenning. Daarom willen we een doctorsgraad op het hbo mogelijk maken. ⤵️ rtl.nl/nieuws/politie…

The most far-fetched part of Project Hail Mary, a science fiction story about teaming up with an alien at Tau Ceti to save Earth from star-eating bacteria, is the idea that Earth governments would unite to rapidly and competently address a global threat

Having fraternity buddies become successful doctors (and lawyers) also gives some well-needed context to the perceived godlike status of those occupations.
José Ancer@ancerj
Being an elite lawyer automatically blackpills you w/r/t healthcare. You spend your entire professional life horrified by the mediocre nonsense the median, even 75%-ile lawyer shills, of course you're going to see the median doctor as a ticking timebomb of incompetence.

Very comparable in data or compliance. Very weird things start to happen in the cost equation when you need to reach 100%.

Economics: The optimal level of tax evasion, govt waste, crime, and even voter fraud is often *above* zero. (Because getting to literal zero usually requires imposing dramatically higher costs & burdens on everyone else to ensure prevention of those last, few, toughest cases.)

@TotalSA2 @tmarzecmanser Yeah, well, you’re also not supposed to just invade other countries. In tense moments you never know where the reflex goes.

@thun @tmarzecmanser There is no storage nationalism allowed within the EU so the political boundaries don’t really mean much.
