@mariana057 Unless you're in SF in which case it also means without any clothing. You should still wear shoes though, we're not barbarians.

OK, so naked running. Apparently this means running without GPS, music and any other tech. I wish I knew this an hour ago.

My boyfriend suddenly started talking about a new coworker named "Alex." "Alex thinks this restaurant is great." "Alex recommended this podcast." "Alex is incredibly organized." Every. Single. Day. But whenever I asked what department Alex worked in, or if we should invite Alex over for dinner, he’d suddenly get super vague and change the subject. "Oh, Alex is just really busy right now." Then, I saw a text notification pop up on his lock screen from an unsaved number: “Can’t wait for our secret rendezvous on Friday. Don’t tell you-know-who.” My blood turned to ice. Friday was our anniversary. I didn’t even wait for Friday. I packed a small bag, sat him down on the couch, and showed him the text. I told him if he wanted to be with Alex, he should just say it. He stared at the screen, then stared at me, and his face went completely pale. Then he burst out laughing so hard he started coughing. He opened his calendar app and showed me the contact name for the unsaved number. It was the coordinator for a luxury pottery studio downtown. "Alex" wasn't a coworker. Alex was a 62-year-old master ceramicist. My boyfriend had spent the last three weeks secretly taking private pottery lessons after work so he could surprise me by hand-making a replica of the ceramic vase I accidentally broke on our first anniversary. The "secret rendezvous" was his final glazing session. I’ve never apologized so fast in my entire life.

john d rockefeller had a chill work life: "By his mid-thirties, Rockefeller realized that burning the midnight oil at Standard Oil was unsustainable. To protect his energy, he installed a telegraph wire between his home and office. This allowed him to work from home three or four afternoons a week, spending his time gardening, planting trees, and moving at what his biographer Ron Chernow described as an "aggressively leisurely" pace"

@SFBART @robertcvenegas Timed transfers are dope for those who use them. It is strange though for anyone else.

@robertcvenegas Perhaps to make a timed transfer or there are other reasons such as a car door is blocked or the train is on a hold.

@garrytan So I should trust economic principals from 1865…and ignore the CEOs of the companies literally building the data centers saying they want to replace human jobs?

Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies. The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the biggest job creation engine since the interstate highway system.

tiff@bytheophana·
a cab driver in taipei told me that taiwanese tmsc workers universally dread going to america for business trips. he said that americans leave for happy hour while taiwanese people have to stay behind to finish their work. this makes them feel really uncomfortable and unhappy, like they’re second class citizens despite the fact that they come from HQ. sad and upsetting to hear, although unsurprising. i asked him if those workers ever believe tsmc america will surpass tsmc taiwan. taiwanese consensus is that americans simply lack the work ethic and attention to detail to ever close the gap.

It's happening slowly but this is why we're in a bubble. We're a few years from normal computers having "good enough" models. The subscription revenue is temporary. phoronix.com/news/AMD-GAIA-…

Gas should be more expensive. Wait hear me out, people are too comfortable with cheap gas and it causes people to make stupid decisions that harm the environment. Living further from work, planes are made cheaper than trains, people should probably travel less.
The Associated Press@AP

President Donald Trump said he supports suspending the federal tax on gasoline to help Americans shoulder surging fuel prices caused by the Iran war. Congress would have to approve the move. apnews.com/article/trump-…

Bye bye San Francisco 👋 It was my first time in the USA, so here is what surprised me: - SF is like X IRL. Tons of billboards ads for Vercel, PostHog, and AI startups - You can bump into anyone and start a conversation. Ppl are very friendly - Food is mediocre imho - It’s expensive AF. $10k/mo is just above survival - The tech grind is contagious. Makes you wanna ship more, as @sobedominik said. - Air quality is awesome (very low PM2.5) - You go from multibillion startup office to super poor area in 1 block (note to self: don’t follow Google Maps “busy area”) - The city is infested by self driving cars. It’s dystopian Thanks again for having us @stripe. It was awesome to meet my indie friends IRL
