@jimniels passive/aggressive review (itโs not really about the changes)
1979 must have been something
Todayโs episode of the podcast The War on Cars has some cogent and encouraging discussions of the Tesla Takedown protests.

The most obvious explanation is Trump shorted the market.
Saw the Minecraft movie with the family. If you know the game or have a kid who doesโฆ
GO. See it THIS WEEKEND.
It was so, so stupidโฆ and so, so fun.
Everything was loudly cheered by an entire theater of nerdy middle schoolers, occasionally yelling out smart, funny one-liners. It was like this generationโs Rocky Horror.
Iโm so glad I got to be a part of it. (Really.) I was laughing so hard โ at and with the audience โ that I was crying.
I do not want your Gemini,
I do not want any AI.
I do not want it in my Chrome,
I do not want it in my home.
Not in my mail,
Even on sale,
Not in my app,
None of this crap.
I do not want it here or there,
I do not want it anywhere!

I found that when a position wasn't finding candidates, the good candidates had been filtered by initial screening. Not one or two, but all of them.
Consider having HR give you every candidate for a week. Ask for the firehose. I had HR put a serial ID in place of PII, which HR hated and fought against doing. But I found my missing candidates. HR had been bouncing all of the good candidates for trivial reasons, and only passing ones that passed their filters before even looking at qualifications.
The HR filters... which were also AI, were picking the AI generated submissions...

@mhoye I had a Fuji laptop with one of those chips. It was very small and light and had good battery life for the time. But it was too slow.
@jimniels yes! Omg this would be fantastic. Sign me up!
You have to live through it to understand it. I would never compare our situation as EQUIVALENT to what Germans dealt with under Hitler's reign, but it's RELATABLE. Growing up, I always wondered: why didn't "people" stop Hitler? Because "people" thought he "wasn't that bad" until it was too late.
@octothorpe if it makes you feel better Slack has their own markup thatโs a mutant hybrid of Textile and Markdown
@agiletortoise exciting!
I think maybe I have a possible bug report?

Holy shit, @codinghorror is committing another 50 MILLION DOLLARS to Guaranteed Minimum Income projects: https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-road-not-taken-is-guaranteed-minimum-income/
We need more people in the world like Jeff Atwood and his family.
Sold one of my Tesla vehicles today! โ
One down, one to go.
Fuck that guy.
The world is complicated, but I think the great challenge of our time is simple to express:
To learn how our natural life support systems work (our planet and our own bodies), to understand that they are complex and should be treated with respect, and to work with them rather than against them.
