this discourse would’ve been better spent on a Brooklyn-to-Brooklyn route that is actually annoying like, say, Flatbush to non-L train Bushwick, or Greenpoint. Q train to somewhere off the L line is easy. It’s even an easy transfer at Union Square
that being said: build the IBX

Honored to accept honorary Albanian citizenship, not just as a personal distinction, but as a reflection of the deep and lasting bond between New York City and the Albanian people.
NYC is home to one of the strongest Albanian communities in America, hardworking, proud, and deeply rooted in our city. I accept this honor on their behalf and in recognition of the shared values that connect us: family, resilience, entrepreneurship, and a commitment to community.
Thank you to @ediramaal, @BajramBegajAL, and the people of Albania for this meaningful recognition.
New York is the global capital, and this only strengthens the bridge between our communities.

@soccer_usa_ @HDSando80 George not Cole right? I do think we need a non-Ream CB who is as comfortable on the ball and Campbell could fit.

@JaneParkway @mattyglesias Only if you have an App Store I think. If it’s all preloaded 1P apps should be fine?
English
@mattyglesias I think you want to allow maps and then you get sued for excluding your competitors? More reasons to love antitrust

@GergelyOrosz iOS definitely does this on mobile — two dashes into a long one.

I know how to type them for my newsletter because GDocs turn two dashes into an em dash. X doesn't do this!

@Singular_ET I use em dashes in my newsletter because in GDoc when you type - 2x, it turns it into an em dash X doesn't do it on the web or mobile How do these ppl who never wrote more than 2 sentences before chatGPT suddenly type perfect with em dashes? yes I'm suspicious
English
Cannot unsee how so many supportive messages written by AI researchers for laid off folks are written by AI
Phrases + em dashes like:
"This is not a performance issue — this is Meta losing real talent because of internal chaos"
"She's now actively looking for new opportunities — please reach out to her directly."

It seems like there is not enough of a policy response to the fact that, with 57M miles of data, Waymo’s autonomous vehicles experience 85% less serious injuries & 79% less injuries overall than cars with human drivers.
2.4 million are injured & 40k killed in US accidents a year

@StanUsmnt He’s Kellyn Acosta. I like him better than Morris or Tessmann or Musah as a Tyler Adams sub.

I still don’t see the Seb Berhalter love. He plays hard and intense but I find him supremely limited.
I acknowledge that I may have bias bc of my feelings for his dad but I’ve tried to really stay open minded.
Don’t get it.

@prettycritical @hbolton Andrew Cuomo was the nepo baby in this race!!
English
the thing about being a nepo baby is that you have to benefit from nepotism. you guys are just describing having successful parents.
شرقزده sharghzadeh@sharghzadeh
Yeah, sorry if your parents are both blue on Wikipedia, you're a nepo baby, no ifs or buts. Zohran was able to try to be a rapper and then experiment with politics because his parents were a Professor and a Filmmaker. I would never be able to because my parents are Detroiters. I could never spend time doing anything without an immediate economic benefit.

I make my employees solve 5(((x))) + 2 ≈ 12. If they do not answer "x is two-ish", they're fired.
Steven Balik@laurenbalik
I have literally made people solve: "5(x) + 2 = 12, what is x? " in job interviews and most people fail it. CMOs, data engineers, analysts, etc. It's all one big make-work program we've been in since the relational database was released in the 1970s. All H-1Bs fail 100% of the time but allegedly they are the world's math and database and IT experts and allegedly this is "skilled" employment...

"When we moved S3 to a strong consistency model, the customer reception was stronger than any of us expected. ... in meeting after meeting, builders spoke about deleting code and simplifying their systems."
Andrew Warfield@andywarfield
Today is #PiDay. I wrote an article for @Werner's blog about how important the idea of simplicity is in S3 and reflect on some examples of how simplicity has influenced S3's design over almost two decades. allthingsdistributed.com/2025/03/in-s3-…
