Kids? The people in dinosaur costumes at the opening were my collaborator's husband and inlaws. Or was this later?

I dunno, but I have always admired the assonance of Calixtus VI. I feel like that gives him the *best* number

I know you are mostly just joking but I think it’s kind of interesting why it’s like this. my understanding is 1. twitter import 2. they also have server side timestamps but they display this because 1) 3. this is a structural problem with separating out the data store from the rest of the service

I think we're probably not gonna end up there (unless you say it was incredible or something). Just trying to wrap my mind around how to attack this—there's so much there. I think what you're saying about settling in is helpful

I don’t have an essay but I think a lot of people get lost in that contrarianism is both a good source of new ideas and also almost always wrong. so a lot of successes (and I think he did succeed at some things and arguing otherwise is unconvincing) will come from people who suck and are wrong a lot
