Have these folks ever seen an actual cow being actually milked? I'm pretty sure they have not.

Yet another reminder that most people vote their identity, their feelings, or their grievances, rather than voting based on a careful analysis of the policy wisdom and execution prowess of the candidates before them.
(... and this is true of most voters for both parties.)

It's a great article. Earned that top spot!

Apparently it has become popular to use mass automated blocking. Maybe you clicked "like" something that you felt was well-written or whatever, and someone who disagreed with its point of view mass-blocked everyone who liked it.

Well, it does appear that the realm of legality is greatly expanded. Certain kinds of fraud are apparently de facto legal, as well as flavors of insider trading.

Do you think the right revaluing is? I've heard people talking about 20 to 25% down.
Of course the future is unwritten, and investors may assume that policy will pivot (thrash?) repeatedly.

"Seven figure" sure hits different.

To paraphrase the thing about markets remaining irrational, Trump can remain committed to bad ideas longer than the market can disbelieve him. That's not to say it will happen in this case - I also wouldn't be surprised if he changed direction next week.

Seems likely to happen eventually, but the people who were sure it would happen right away bizarrely underestimated how allied these (uh) gentleman are, at least for the moment.

Surprisingly muted response to extraordinary bad trade policy. Maybe the market doesn't believe it will stick.

Now that is just weird!

Sounds like the Etsy seller is not the same as the actual crafter of the item, who is presumably located in PR

I've been on the internet since the early 90s, and yes, those are the two main timeless topics.

Sir, this is a fundamental function of the internet, going back to its earliest days. I don't think there's any way to turn it off.

It remains to me seen how BlueSky will deal with the problems that come as a large cross-session of people make it here. But it is off to an amazing start.

The big challenge in all this:
Lots of people have very strong opinions on how other people's online experience should be curated, not only their own.

Pretty sure he wanted a cabinet post, but good point nonetheless.

Probably the least realistic thing about STTNG.

Easy inline client versus server code... I was already used to that in @qwik.dev but now I need it in a small project that I really want to use React with because I have a React-based component set to fit in with. Maybe Tanstack is worth a look.

The domain thing is great - it leaves no doubt as to what account is someone's real account.

Yes - the difference between "what % of items will Amazon still be able to read?" and "what is the probability I will be able to get this data back?". The first is extremely incredibly high, the second is merely incredibly high.

Past the first 6-7 nines, I think this durability estimate is nonsense - because surely there is an error rate at which an AI (or human customer service agent) mistake causes someone to lose access to their account permanently, including all of the S3 data stored therein.

Oh, interesting. I assume that all the major AIs will train on everything they can slurp off the internet, regardless of which platform it's posted on, and that old content mostly helps people find people to follow for new content, i.e. drives ~0 ad revenue itself. Hmmm.

What was the purpose of the deletion? It seems like leaving the old tweets there would help more people find you there and find their way to your new home here.

Even the awful folks posting day are kinda weak sauce compared to the Usenet era!

Seems like they can just be patient, right? If BlueSky continues to grow as it has been, it will reach the threshold, and presumably will comply. Doesn't seem like the kind of org that would intentionally flout the EU.

I don't even work in Angular at the moment anymore... and I use this to follow a bunch of people I had missed before!

Condos are convenient to live in, but so also perilous!

Twitter is still much larger, but there is real risk to its position! The timeline fills up with quite a lot of nonsense unless you regularly nudge it ("not interested, etc."). Might be the algorithm, but more likely it reflects the participation of the most enthusiastic users.

I think a lot of folks take this advice but disagree on what the best interest is.

Are you implying that maybe that guy didn't have the best security and IT team working for him? Oh, the shock.

Clever workaround: change your Twitter handle to that exact same string. I think it would work!

Looks like a very nice CSS grid tool. Bookmarked for next time I need to show someone how to make CSS Grid do something!

There were also remarkably effective skin systems that could dynamically re-theme the output UI.
It seems like web UI does not work as well today as what we had then, in important ways.

There was a healthy ecosystem of third-party components that mostly integrated right away and worked thereafter.
Sure, there were weaknesses also, of course.
