@Freedom_rider22 @kayleighmcenany Fortunately he’s not smug at all.
English
Kamala Harris is more interested in the lawfare against President Trump than protecting your family from illegal immigrant crime.
During the immigration segment, instead of saying their names -- Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nungaray -- she focuses on Trump trials??
English
@KentPitman I was thinking that today it’s standard to have tutorials deeply embedded in software so you can learn the software by using it for real, while also having tool tips and tutorials take over to drive. Was wondering if your LISP tutor pioneered that style of tutorial?

@FemiAkinyemi @AdamMGrant He was in journalism school to be an investigative reporter, so he was also predisposed to seek out knowledge. Another part of the art of wisdom is learning which questions matter and which don't. (Will be continuing this reply from my primary account)
English
@GetItDoneGuy @AdamMGrant I like this. It’s also usually the ones who are not quick to speak. To be fair this can apply to folks of all ages. I guess the old adage about having 2 ears and 1 mouth means we should listens 2ce as much as we talk
English
Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience.
Between ages 25 and 75, the correlation between age and wisdom is zero.
Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you've lived. It's about the number of lessons you've learned.
English
@FemiAkinyemi @AdamMGrant Maybe what's innate is that some young people are naturally very reflective and thoughtful. Most people are not at all. Not even slightly. I met a college sophomore once who somehow had more wisdom than people 2x his age. Because he looked around & thought about what he saw.
English
@AdamMGrant Any thoughts on how this accounts for relatively young people who are quite wise bearing in mind they don’t have enough experiences to reflect on? Is wisdom innate?

@Skacey @SM4Tech @SteverRobbins Is there any way to eliminate these stupid “foobar LIKED this tweet” messages?
English
@GetItDoneGuy @SM4Tech @SteverRobbins IMHO, start small.
I regularly look to see why specific tweets are in my feed. Usually it’s one of my followers retweeting something. I actively prune blind hostility and actively follow inteligente discourse even if I disagree. Sometimes that means removing entire branches.
English
@SM4Tech @Skacey @SteverRobbins How active do you have to be to influence the algorithm? Likes or replies or retweets or…? I haven’t been actively trying to retrain other than blocking the accounts I don’t subscribe to, but that hasn’t been doing anything to show me accounts I want to see.
English
@Skacey @SteverRobbins Same. The platform algorithms are tailored to show more of the stuff we interact with.
Tweets like that one tells me more about the person behind the tweet than anything else.
English
@ManishAway @Fastmail It’s also very technically flexible in terms of rules, custom domains, etc. @Fastmail also makes their money by being high-quality email, which means they’re focused on doing a good job. Gmail is focused on profiling you and serving ads.
English
I use my @Fastmail account as my 'real' email account and it's surprising how good and efficient it is. The web interface is good and I can use with email clients using IMAP.
OTOH, my Gmail is full of spam and marketing.

@ChrisSosa I don’t read it as a blanket statement. The screen shot you shared said it was a difficult vote with something as consequential as censuring the President. That doesn’t sound blanket to me…?
English
Genuinely don't understand why a U.S. representative would make a bold claim against voting present instead of yes/no, subsequently vote present and then release a 3-page statement not even acknowledging the major flip-flop. This word salad is counterproductive and disappointing.

@FrankLuntz Happened to a very close family member last week. His last words to me were “I’ve been very stupid.”

This does not have to keep happening, because we now have a way to stop this.

Gabe Gutierrez@gabegutierrez
I spoke with Patrick Burshia earlier this month inside an ICU @BillingsClinic in Montana. He told me he regretted not getting the Covid vaccine. But he was grateful that his condition was improving. Sadly, he passed away this weekend. He was just 24 years old.
English
@nicolesaintp @heatherscope @AOC It was under GW Bush that the prohibition on negotiating drug prices was instated. It was always an explicit giveaway to big pharma.
English
@heatherscope @AOC I still don’t understand why this is such a hard sell. Nobody is asking that Medicare dictate drug prices, just that they be able to negotiate volume discounts, like any other large purchaser does. It’s what public procurement departments do all the time.
English
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Many Dems didnt want AOC on panel bc they thought she’d put them in uncomfortable positions on a host of policy issues
For them, Rep. Rice was safer pick
Jake Sherman@JakeSherman
A reminder: @RepKathleenRice beat out @AOC for a spot on @EnergyCommerce. Rice’s no vote on prescription drug negotiation policy sunk the provision for now.

@SGgrc I’m surprised it took you until 2021 to speculate that MSFT doesn’t care about its customers. I figured that out during the anti-trust trial when their defense was *literally* “our software is so poorly engineered that deleting an icon will destroy the OS.”

@grandebabbo @JimJamLFC @NateSilver538 People don’t understand the importance of base rates. I only learned about them in the last few years. Rocked my world!
English
@JimJamLFC @NateSilver538 This study doesn't reveal the the total number of either in the population. Without that crucial bit of info, this study is fairly meaningless.
English
I have a weird question for the actual experts on here. Is there some way after the fact to know if you had a COVID infection if you *also* had antibodies from having been vaccinated? That is, can a test distinguish vaccine-acquired and naturally-acquired antibodies?
English
@doctorow Math puzzle: Amazon has 1.3 million employees. Bezos owns 11%. Trades at a multiple of 36. Assuming 52 40-hour weeks, how much does Bezos’s net worth drop for every $1/hr he increases wages?
English
Amazon's automation claims - about drones, warehouse robots, and self-driving delivery vehicles - masks their ghastly labor abuses. This is especially useful when automation is used to make workers' lives WORSE.

English
When Amazon announced "Prime Air," a forthcoming drone delivery service, in 2016, there was a curious willingness on the part of the press - even the tech press - to take the promise of a sky full of delivery drones at face value.

But after the PR wins, the organization became a do-nothing boondoggle where employees openly drank beer at their desks at 10AM.
