@onscreenlol It's ESD, not the flame. The spark that is used to ignite your lighter is the cause of the flicker.
If it's cold in your house (dry) and you have carpet, wear socks and rub your feet on the carpet as you type on the keyboard or touch your tower. I bet you'll get the same thing.

When I left uni in NINETEEN-NINETY-FOUR, I was paid $40K for my first job, two thirds of the amount your organisation offers 31 years later. Can you see what the problem might be?

Great news!

Analysis of US college syllabi by the Open Syllabus project shows that bell hooks is assigned more than Aristotle, Judith Butler more than Plato, Edward Said more than than Kant, and Foucault more than everybody.

Can't beat a great idea
Simon Loffler@sighmon
Four years after relaunching @ACMI our visitors are still averaging 15,000 unique Lens taps per day. Over the weekend XOS recorded its 20,000,000th unique tap from our fleet of NFC enabled BalenaOS Raspberry Pis. That’s a lot of film museum collection items our visitors have saved, shared, and explored on their post-visit dashboard. Well done little machines. 🥹

@Cromwelp As someone trying to get an audiovisual archive to understand how community can help spread its word, I'd love to be on this list if possible :)

Shot off another email based on '"those ideas on marketing." I've had a great many calls, discussions, and threads about them for a while. The overwhelming majority of people reaching out to try and figure out how to get folks to shift away from the trad playbook to community focus. A lot of frustration in the marketing space, it seems. Go figure. Won't do another thread, but I'll continue to engage in private.

@leenyburger Hi Colleen - are there still plans to release Refine for Rails hammerstone.dev/rails, or is that an old project? Thanks

Absolutely true, so long as you discount the history of all civil rights movements.
(And for the idiots asking why trans rights have "lost ground" - the right wing has sunk millions of dollars into finding a new wedge issue, and that one stuck)
christoph@Halalcoholism
Successful civil rights movements typically have a simple underlying message to sell to the broader population: “We are just like you; thus we merely ask for the same rights as you.” The trans rights movement seems fundamentally different in this respect.

I promise Marc that the art AI wants to replace requires way more taste, psychology and chaos tolerance than taking huge amounts of money and successfully investing them < 5% of the time.
vitrupo@vitrupo
Marc Andreessen says when AI does everything else, VC might be one of the last jobs still done by humans. It's more art than science. There's no formula. Just taste, psychology, and chaos tolerance.

If you walk away winning the PR battle, uniting Europe and other democracies, and you didn’t give up 50% of minerals, how have you lost?

@joshtpm @lord__mike Also what trap did he fall into? He avoided the bullshit brilliantly

I’m not going to highlight specific people. But sad to see the number of smart and well-meaning foreign policy people saying how could this happen, what could he be thinking, keep tough convos beyond closed doors. When I see a mob hit I know what it is. It’s a mob hit.
