Hanauma Bay, Oahu, #Hawaii. Nice break before getting started with a new client. They wanted to proceed less than a week after I rolled off my prior engagement. So hopefully a lot of these layoffs are just churn.

Honu just east of Waikiki Marine Conservation District. It's better snorkeling than you might expect.

Good on @RoKhanna. Trump is corrupt, doesn't mean you should suppress negative stories about your own team. One reason I didn't vote Joe in primary was I thought Bursima might look bad in the gen election. Glad Trump lost, but cover-up might be worse than the laptop in the end.

@KCGrock @lmc @burritojustice It was just SF. They are still going in Australia. Maybe NY as well? They had cut hours that their Chinatown shop was open previously. I imagine it wasn't making enough money for them. It was way cheaper than those Lyft bikes, I was renting one just to have an ebike handy.

@lmc @KCGrock @burritojustice Zoomo has left SF, unfortunately. They gave people the option to buy the bike they were renting. That's why you still see them around. They did have a $25 a week plan in the beginning, though that might not have included enough miles to use for delivery.

@KCGrock @burritojustice Those are definitely the bikes I see, I thought those might be part of the city underwritten plan. That's about three times as much as it costs me to ride Muni every month.

Listened to @BobbyAzarian on @joerogan - pretty interesting. Basically he is a neuroscientist who is proposing the universe is set up in a way to make intelligent life likely. Probably best to hear it from him, I can't give a synopsis in 2880 chars. His book is out.

Today my book The Romance of Reality is finally out and in all major bookstores 🥳 Go out and buy a copy from your local store so that they have to order more! Thanks to everyone who preordered or helped me write the book in some way. If you dig it, leave it a review on Amazon 🙏

@RoyEacups I guess they've been making some strides on this tech. This device may not use imagined speech, but papers have been written on the subject -pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28745299/ There's one on IEEE as well, but it's behind a paywall.

I hear my Republican colleagues going on about a 'labor shortage' in this country. Well, in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, some employers have raised wages — you know what? People came back to work in a hurry.

America:
*Lowest min wage among G7 nations
*Min wage down 30% in 50 years
*3rd highest % of low-wage workers among 37 rich nations
*3rd highest poverty rate
*5th-highest inequality
It used to be the opposite but that began changing in the 1980s

Sad to see #FrysElectronics go... Used to go there when my dad was in town. Great resource way back in the day when I would build my own computer.

End of an era. I really enjoyed them during the 90's and 2000's. They were an icon for the Silicon Valley

Kroger's profit hit $2.9 billion in the pandemic, up 70%. So far, $1.15 billion went to stock buybacks and dividends to enrich execs. Workers get no hazard pay.
Long Beach, CA passed a $4/hour bonus for grocery workers. So Kroger closed its stores there
