Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

So Naval deleted everything ZCash related that he posted on his profile, or I just can't see it. LMAO.

Columbia CS Prof Vishal Misra explains why LLMs can’t generate new science ideas. Bcz LLMs learn a structured map, Bayesian manifold of known data & work well within it, but fail outside it. True discovery requires creating new maps, which LLMs can't do

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Please tell Hormuz to take two tablespoons of isabgol the night before.

This is the phase of AI hype we are in 2026. If you recall, 2017 was blockchain hype. Bearish. cnbc.com/2026/04/15/all…

If you're planning to get into DevOps in 2026, stop learning like it's 2020. >> Choose Kubernetes. Every serious job posting demands real K8s experience. Every important platform runs on it. >> Choose GitHub Actions over Jenkins. Jenkins feels like maintaining legacy code. GitHub Actions integrates with your repos, includes built-in security scanning, and every company is already moving to it. >> Choose Terraform. Works everywhere. Learn once, provision anywhere. >> Choose Python. Fast enough for 99% of DevOps work. Every AI tool runs on it. >> Choose Loki + Grafana over Datadog. Datadog will quietly destroy your budget. Loki + Grafana wins on flexibility and price — especially in Kubernetes environments. >> Learn ArgoCD or Flux. GitOps is the standard. Manual deployments are dead. >> Leave Ansible in the dumpster. Terraform + GitOps + ArgoCD handles the heavy lifting now. >> Learn DevSecOps. Security is no longer the security team's problem. Shift left. Scan your code, containers, and IaC before it hits production. Want me to add anything else? Use AI as much as you can. Learn fast. Build fast. Troubleshoot fast. The engineers treating AI as a core tool will outrun everyone else. Also learn system design, disaster recovery, and chaos engineering. Platform engineering is the evolution of DevOps. P.S. Don't stop at DevOps in 2026. Learn MLOps, AIOps, and AI infrastructure. That's where the jobs, the money, and the future are going.

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.

My wife woke me up this morning, gasping “They found Satoshi Nakamoto!” I groaned half asleep in a confused slumber, “huh?” She said, “yeah the NYTimes report—” And I immediately went back to sleep

I've been attending the same daily standup for 47 weeks. Every morning at 9 AM, 7 adults stare at a Zoom grid and declare they have no blockers. The project is six months behind schedule. If nobody has any blockers, why is nothing getting done? I realized last week that "no blockers" is just corporate for "please don't perceive me." Yesterday, I said my blocker was a deep, existential dread regarding our Q2 OKRs. The Scrum Master paused for four seconds and asked if I could take that offline. I took it offline by muting my mic and going to make a bagel. Today I'll say I'm blocked by Jira being slow. That's a lie we all agree to respect.

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen. Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore. Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?" AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.

My take on Bitcoin and quantum computing: nehanarula.org/2026/04/03/bit… tl;dr: I think the risk is high enough to warrant prioritizing designing, implementing, and evaluating post-quantum signature schemes and consensus upgrades in Bitcoin now.

What will the Artemis-2 astronauts do during the entire 10-day mission? Day by day overview: Day 1. Launch. Launch on the SLS rocket, stage separation, orbital insertion. Maneuvers around the spent stage, initial system checks, change from spacesuits to everyday clothing. Day 2. Beginning the journey to the Moon: Simulator exercises, then the main maneuver—translunar injection (TLI), which places Orion on a trajectory to fly around the Moon and return to Earth. Day 3. Preparation Rehearsals for lunar observations in zero gravity, corrective maneuver, emergency procedures training (e.g., CPR). Day 4. Course correction Second minor maneuver, communication with Mission Control, media sessions, photography of Earth and the Moon at the midpoint. Day 5. Lunar Entry For the first time since 1972, humans will be in cislunar space. Spacesuit tests: rapid pressurization, life support systems checks. Another course correction. Day 6. Lunar Flyby The main day: The Orion spacecraft will fly at an altitude of 6,400–9,650 km above the lunar surface. This distance is approximately 15–24 times greater than the orbital altitude of the ISS. Plus, the Moon itself is smaller. Visually, the Moon will look like a basketball at arm's length to the astronauts. There will be only three hours for observations during closest approach. The astronauts will take photographs and record geological data. Depending on the launch time, the Artemis 2 crew could break the record for the longest distance from Earth. Day 7. Lunar Exit Data transfer to scientists, psychological and physical debriefings. Symbolic call with the ISS crew. First maneuver of the return trajectory. Day 8. Demonstrations Radiation protection training (using water and thermal protection as barriers). Testing the Orion attitude control systems in various modes. Day 9. Preparing for reentry The last full day of the flight. Technological demonstrations, course corrections, fitting of compression suits to help the body adapt to weightlessness. Day 10. Return Final maneuver, atmospheric reentry, during which the temperature will reach 1650°C. Parachute deployment, splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off San Francisco. Crew pickup by US Navy ships.

🚨 Google has sounded the quantum alarm 🚨 Today, they released groundbreaking progress towards breaking crypto using a quantum computer. TLDR - Existing cryptography is dead. Mempool attacks are real. We must migrate to post-quantum now. Thread 🧵

GitLab's founder was told he has bone cancer. No trials would take him. Doctors signed off. So he went founder mode on his own survival. - Built his own treatments - Used AI to analyze his own tumor data - Open-sourced 25TB of his medical records for any researcher on earth Relapse-free since 2025. The system said he was out of options. He made his own.
