@wsdot_traffic Right turn at Montlake from 520 WB has been red for 10–15 minutes. No cross traffic.

every day, i have several dozen interactions with software that is completely broken. it's not usually quite as bad as this, but this also isn't an outlier. nothing in the digital world fucking works. as an industry, we have completely and utterly failed. we're a joke.

@hankgreen This is wild to me. I learned everything there was to know about mine. Especially with rarer cancers, medical errors are a thing. I think it’s important to be an informed partner in your care. Ignoring the facts doesn’t make the cancer go away.

I keep talking with other cancer patients at my cancer center and I'm often astounded by what seems like a lack of interest in their own cancer. I talked to a guy today who had non-hodgkin's lymphoma and asked what kind and he DIDN'T KNOW!

@AdamSinger @singletonion @Telegraph Come now, Lynn clearly has a good track record for understanding the future..

@singletonion @Telegraph Propaganda

Our writer explains why the WFH evangelists were wrong - and lays bare home working's effect on the economy.

@RottenInDenmark Nobody is trying to take this away from him. On the other hand… what is he trying to take away from us? 🤔

@Shawty007BR549 @AshleyGWinter And I’m not sure how scheduling it addresses those harms. Supratherapeutic doses of testosterone have harms that the people using it that way are aware of. It is not addictive. This is a substance that I medically need because of cancer. The CSA regularly makes this harder.

IMO the fact that testosterone is a schedule III medication is ridiculous.

@forssto I’m sure there’s something, but orgs should behave rationally. The cost for engineering to follow-through, including the cost of thrash, is often (usually?) not attributed to sales leaders. There’s little accountability. We should be intentional with each other’s time.

@garylosh This is a fair point—and obvs things are never black&white. But one might also ask what is the intent and source of those quotas? There’s always a five whys opportunity to understand why something seemingly stupid is happening.

Pretty sure product folk that are constantly complaining about how "sales just promises random stuff to customers" have not spent a minute in the sales front line, in front of customers with the pressure of quota attainment on them. The world looks different through that lens.

Human beings like Gaiman are able condense a complex concept into an intuitive, concise package. LLMs expand simple ideas into pedantic fluff. This is not the future we want.

Not looking for medical advice, just for relevant case studies or recommendations as to whether or not I am being overly paranoid here.

I acknowledge that the chance that this is cancer are low, but the consequences are serious if it is cancer and if diagnosis is delayed. His physicians have refused to contact the lab to request serial dilution for his most recent hCG sample.

Anyone seen a false-positive hCG blood test >2000 IU/L? I don’t know which assay it was or whether a hererophilic antibody blocker was used. #MedTwitter Can’t find any case studies of false-positives >400 IU/L. (I’m fine, just trying to give good advice to someone else)
