I'm getting back into freelancing. If you're looking to add Senior Laravel Engineering talent but aren't really ready to commit to a full time hire, we might be a good fit. I am looking for 2-4 clients wanting 1-3 days a week each (no more than 5 days a week total). No lengthy project scoping or hourly tracking, just a fixed monthly rate for a set number of day(s) each week, just like a salaried employee. But without the cost of benefits, payroll taxes, or hassles. Independent contractor, billed though Stripe so they handle the 1099 and you don't have to. Follow the link in my bio and add your email if you're interested and I'll be in touch as I launch Ship Well Development.

You're conflating the holding with the opinion's reasoning. Carpenter's holding is unquestionably narrow, the Court says as much. But the reasoning isn't limited to CSLI. The opinion repeatedly emphasizes features like comprehensive, retrospective, low-cost digital surveillance, the "seismic shifts in digital technology," and the inadequacy of mechanically applying the third-party doctrine. Those aren't characteristics unique to cell-site records; they're principles later courts use by analogy. That's how common-law reasoning works.

@ryanshipswell @raysofl1 @JasonBassler1 I have read the opinion, and unlike you I know how to read case law. This was a very narrow ruling that explicitly addressed the issue at hand and literally nothing beyond that scope. You morons are far too uneducated for this game. You can deflect from that all you like

I'm not anti Flock because I'm pro criminal. I'm anti Flock because I'm pro 4th Amendment.

Have you even read the opinion? It literally states: "A person does not surrender all Fourth Amendment protection by venturing into the public sphere." Additionally, Roberts repeatedly mentions his concerns being that it is: - "deeply revealing" - "near perfect surveillance" - "encyclopedic" - "effortless" - "retrospective" - "compiled every day" These are factors not unique to historic cell phone location records but any form of low cost, automated, mass surveillance including Flock cameras. It does not require a law school graduate to see that it CLEARLY has applicability to Flock cameras.

@ryanshipswell @raysofl1 @JasonBassler1 Carpenter v. United States was a very narrow ruling that was applied to historical cell phone location records. Do you even know how to read case law?

@PattyMurray And here I thought bipartisanship was no longer a thing in Congress. I guess if its something silly that doesn't matter than nobody is against it.

BREAKING: the House just passed my bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent! Leader Thune should bring this bill to a vote in the Senate so we can finally get this done. More sunshine. Less depression. Let's finally lock the clock!

Did OpenAI reset limits earlier today? I went to check my weekly limit, last I checked I was at 44% remaining, now I'm back up to like 85%

@webdevcody What if I build TodoOS?

Why is there so much anti-LoC rhetoric? At some point, more features, edge cases, security, and reliability require more code. There’s no magic abstraction that lets you build an operating system in 500 lines. Unless you’re building a todo app, you’ll need lots of code.

@JasonLeeBedunah @danielcberk Everyone else is just going to do it with meme number like 67, 69, 420, 789.

@danielcberk My prediction: This post goes viral. 2. We see an explosion of worst to best numbers 3. Shows up in news on right side of X

Today is my 33rd birthday. Here are 33 numbers ranked from best to worst. 1. 9,372 2. 6 3. 9 4. 12,297,999.01 5. 5 6. 172 7. 11 8. 32 9. 1,000 10. 3.14159 11. 88 12. -14 13. 42,424 14. 0.00003 15. 777 16. 19 17. 65,536 18. 2.71828 19. 404 20. 91 21. 8,008 22. 13 23. 999,999 24. 47.5 25. 1 26. 250,001 27. 73 28. 17,891 29. 0 30. 1,337 31. 5,555,555 32. -273.15 33. 4 Thanks for riding the planet with me one more time around the moon.

@CherylSchatz I understand it to be they always knew Good because of their interactions with God in the garden. but until that point that's all the knew. Eating from that tree now gave them knowledge of evil, by experiencing first hand disobedience to God.

When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, did it give them the knowledge of good?

@frantzfries That's good to know. But it would still be nice to be able to pay to remove the branding without going to a $50 plan.

@ryanshipswell thanks! we’ve looked into it before, might try it out fwiw we don’t disable features on the free plan

emailing (by hand) every user that cancelled over the last 30 days and badgering them till I get a real answer if you exclude failed payments, acquisitions and shutdowns the results are mostly price any thoughts on how we could improve our pricing?

@typesfast I think they may possibly share a name with a tree that's so common up where I live that it gave my state its nickname.

German media pixelated the brand name on this truck crash to protect privacy under GDPR regulations. Our team is working to uncover the name of the shipping company for you and will report back when we solve the mystery.

@Dominos_UK I ordered Dominos.

tell a terrifying story in 3 words

@josephkerkhof You should force everyone to use EST, make the world revolve around DCs time.

@ryanshipswell the sole item in my platform is to abolish timezones and force everyone to use UTC!

Just realized I'm technically eligible to be elected president in 2028

@DavePrichard It's called PE....

If the band gets a class period, then sports should as well.

@ChiefEngineerCE The first is not, the second is. Probably for the same reason you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway.

Okay English grammar specialists. Here is weird one that came to me the other day. Is it proper to say 'Why did not you?' Okay... Is it proper to say 'Why didn't you?' See? It is so awkward.

@ryanshipswell Damn it… how am I suppose to compete with this!?!

I'm doing it. shipwell.dev

@Eric_Smith08 "That's a $139 subscription doing the job of a $5.99 delivery fee." I mean that assumes you only make 1 order a year. Nobody ordering the infrequently would subscribe. Most subscribers probably order at least twice a month which is roughly the break even point just on shipping.

Amazon Prime costs $139/year. Most members use 2 features: free shipping and Prime Video. That's a $139 subscription doing the job of a $5.99 delivery fee. J.P. Morgan estimates the actual value of Prime benefits at approximately $1,430/year more than 10x the membership cost. But most of that value sits unclaimed behind tabs, menus, and pages 200 million members have never opened. And 4 of those benefits expire monthly. If you don't claim them by the end of the month, they're gone. Amazon resets the clock. You paid for them. You lost them. Amazon is counting on you not knowing. Here are the 12 Prime benefits most members have never activated including the 4 that vanish every 30 days 🧵

@DCoulbourne My first thought was Metalica, but I'm not sure if you would say the late 90's or early 2000's were their "most popular music".

WITHOUT GOOGLING: What 2000s rock band do you think made the most money? Fine print: - their most popular music must have been between 2000 and 2010 - they must have a permanent drummer and guitarist

@webdevcody Using Fable? NGMI. Should've used GPT 5.6-Sol.

just remember, some kid in college with multiple Claude Code subscriptions using Fable 5 is producing more code in the past few weeks than you ever have in your entire 10+ software career.
