@ggreenwald Okay clearly, if you disapprove, you're not MAGA, therefore MAGA does approve 100%.

As I said earlier, White House officials and Fox News are telling Trump that the vast majority of Americans support his war in Iran (they're also saying it publicly), even though the opposite is true: so now he thinks that CNN said that 100% of Americans support it.

@ggreenwald I thought CNN was fake news?🤔

@marcorandazza Just remember that even the Catholic church is represented on Earth by fleshy humans who are often wrong. That doesn't mean the Church herself is.

Catholic … but I find myself looking over at the Orthodox Church wondering if I might feel a little more welcome there

@VicVijayakumar I assume this is a joke, but just in case: x.com/paulg/status/2…

Paul Graham got YC to seed fund his kids' startup

@marcorandazza Couldn't have said it better myself. The TSA should not exist.

no, you need to fire all of them and have the airports privatize this, hiring americans to do the jobs, and firing them if they're stupid.

@FinFreedom414 Is there an option B where your net worth is way less than that? Apparently that's the option I'm choosing.

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?

Chore time, every morning: 7-year-old: "I can't find my other boot!" Me: "Guess you're doing chores while hopping today." I'm a problem-solver.

@marcorandazza Amen my friend. Also, I feel like you can point out that Team Italy was awfully American without insulting their Italian heritage. I'm proud to own both of those, I hope they are as well.

The difference between an ethnicity that has pride, and one that has been recruited to be a bunch of whiny "victims?" We can just laugh and say "they hate us cause they aint us" So calm down "hardcore" let them make their guinea jokes - we get to be Italians, and they have to be whatever they are.

@marcorandazza Awesome idea. Though I would say that.

Interesting idea. 10 kids? Never work!

@marcorandazza Did you sleep?

@PirateWires @USWREMichael "So they were trying to get classified information, that’s a no-no." So how is this actually supposed to work? You agree to a 25-page contract with limitations, and then claim all use as classified so the company can't ensure the contract is followed?

EXCLUSIVE: Department of War AI Chief On How The Anthropic Deal Collapsed When Emil Michael (@USWREMichael) took over the Department of War’s AI portfolio last August, he discovered the Biden admin had been “asleep at the wheel” when it came to top military contracts. “I was like, ‘Holy cow,’” Michael said of Anthropic’s contract, “There’s 25 pages of terms and conditions of things I can’t do.” For example: as written, the contract would not allow Anthropic to plan any kinetic strikes, generally considered a central activity of war. “This is a contract that should be made with GEICO Insurance, not with the Department of War,” he told us. A renegotiation ensued. What followed, in Michael’s words, were “three months of knockdown, drag-out negotiations” which involved Michael imagining every possible future wartime scenario that would require a carveout in Anthropic’s terms of service, and asking them for approval. Anthropic was also quite slow: “It’s not like mano a mano negotiation, me and Dario,” Michael says. “It’s like every time we discuss something, he has to take it back to his politburo of co-founders and their ethics panel.” Then, after an Anthropic exec reached out to Palantir to ask for classified info about how Claude was used to capture Nicolás Maduro — allegedly implying they could pull the plug on a military raid if they disagreed with how AI was used (which Anthropic denies) — Michael and the DOW concluded the company was a supply-chain risk. Many speculated that the Pentagon was punishing Anthropic for ideological differences. But Michael feared that certain ideological differences could, in fact, harm or undermine the performance of DOW products, potentially threatening soldiers’ safety. “I can’t have a gun not work because they decide they don’t like guns,” Michael says. That’s “putting real lives at risk. It’s no joke, right?” Anthropic’s unreliable behavior led Michael to believe they may have never really wanted to reach a deal. Still: he’s open to renegotiating if Anthropic can prove they’re acting in good faith. “I have a responsibility to the Department of War, and if there was a way to ensure that we had the best technology, I have no ego about it.” he said. “I mean, look, I’m a deal guy.” Full story in Pirate Wires 👇

@marcorandazza No, I love it too. Especially if it isn't TOO sharp. It's like being rocked to sleep.

am i the only one who thinks turbulence on a flight is fun?

@RepThomasMassie Oh, I thought that was just a voter-ID bill. Lots of things the democrats aren't going to like, there.

His post transitioned.

@VicVijayakumar What I hear you saying is that @onetimefax is not user-friendly enough for them to do it on their own 🤔 . I assume you asked for feedback?

This is not a joke. My parents just drove to my house and asked me to fax something for them. And then forced me to accept $5 in cash.

Primary voters could have supported Nikki Haley or Desantis. There were hardcore neocon candidates on the ballot. Voters supported Trump, who ran against new regime change wars. Can't blame podcasters or comedians the so-called "division." When primary voters rejected new wars.

@marcorandazza Boy no kidding.

FLORIDA: single-handedly ruining the notion that Republicans would be a whole lot better than Democrats if they had a super majority

@VicVijayakumar Huh, I only use redis for ephemeral things.

Just randomly thought of a really funny (to me) incident I helped with. This particular service read things off of a Kafka topic and sent those out to an external service. Kafka is at-least-once delivery, for the uninformed. However the external service had zero tolerance for duplicates. You can pretend each API call to their system placed an order for pizza or something. So this team designed a basic idempotence system. When they processed a Kafka message they checked Redis for the existence of the message id. If it already existed, the message had already been processed, so was discarded. If it didn't exist, they processed the message and added the id to Redis. Fast forward to a couple months and anytime we have a ton of traffic we have duplicates at the third party that has zero tolerance for duplicates and they're pissed. They start poring over the code trying to figure out where the bug is. They run a ton of tests on Stage. Cannot even reproduce the issue. Only happens on Prod. I get summoned. I ask for a summary. Hmm, I see. Can I see your infrastructure? Your Redis memory is full. When your cluster runs out of memory, it cannot store the idempotence identifier, so the next time, it assumes this message hasn't been sent yet. This only happens during high traffic because the TTL expiry hasn't hit yet.

@marcorandazza I mean... we're still the ones paying it either way. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, but that's how it is. Administration should then go to Congress and propose tariffs to swap in for income tax cuts. I prefer to see the government raise money in the ports and at the borders than to point a gun at me every April 15 and say "1/3 of your labor please"

@VicVijayakumar Also what is that shape? Doesn't wife guy make fancy drawings in their wife's lattes?

wife guy fail made my wife a latte and walked around calling for her before realizing she wasn’t home

@PalmerLuckey @AJA_Cortes I'm still able to participate in society with a flip phone. It's getting harder, but that's a choice.

@AJA_Cortes Those are definitely luxury goods. There are very solid options, even from the most reputable brand names, that do an excellent job for less than half the price. You can leap the bar of participating in society for less than $200 even from Samsung, like most people worldwide.

This is boomer snark that misses the point A $150 pair of shoes and a $1,000 phone aren’t "luxuries" They've become baseline participation costs in modern American life You need a smartphone to apply for jobs, access your bank account, do your schoolwork, and communicate with anyone $150 shoes aren’t extravagant when a pair of basic Nikes starts at $90 and falls apart in 6 month The real question that boomers cannot grasp -Why does a young person in the wealthiest country in history need to spend $1,200/month on a shared apartment, buy a $1000 phone designed to go extinct in a few years, and carry $100,000 in student debt for a degree that was supposed to be the ticket to the middle class, and watch home prices triple in 20 years while wages moved maybe 15%? Nobody is claiming they can’t afford coffee. They’re saying that even doing everything right , a degree, job, no frivolous spending, the math doesn’t work the way it did in 1985 when you could pay tuition with a summer job and buy a house at 24 on one income. Pointing at a kid’s shoes while ignoring the disparity in cost of living is missing the forest for the trees Consumer goods are a net loss over time And the things that actually build wealth, like property, education, healthcare, they all got 5-10x more expensive Would you rather they get a magic marker from the dollar tree store and write it on a cardboard sign? Imbecile.
