I don't actually post much tech stuff here, the vibes here are semi-filtered Carl and I'm into a lot of stuff. I signal boost what I think is important, I post mundanities of life, I halfheartedly promote my work, and I post very inconsistently. @reactiflux.com and @tmir.reactiflux.com are tech alts

It turns out that fitness trackers and other quasi-medical devices have the same problem that Amy Orben and I wrote about in Science earlier this year:
Companies develop & deploy new products faster than science can help markets correct for bad products.

I do want to note Mamdani's transition specifically calling attention to like, people applying for city jobs and how many CVs they got in the mail, etc, because when was the last time you saw a politician actually talk about expanding state capacity other than hiring more cops?

do you know how much heinous bullshit is defended with "it's obviously a joke"? if you post something that reads straightforwardly as a call to violence (i have not seen the original post that got him suspended, i'm speaking in generalities), it should be treated as a call to violence

Given the idioms "it's in the bag" and "cats out of the bag," is the implied "it" a cat? Why are we so intent on keeping cats in bags?

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

pretty sure this would be considered a bribe in a functioning political and legal system
On Sid Rosenberg's talk radio show, Andrew Cuomo voices openness to offering Curtis Sliwa a job in his potential administration in exchange for him dropping out of the mayoral race.
"That would be something i would be interested in," Cuomo says.

If you don't currently have Signal on your phone, you should. There is not another app that can credibly claim the same level of privacy -- not Telegram, not WhatsApp, and I don't think anyone is even claiming Discord is anywhere nearby

Some people dismiss fears because those fears have been stoked for 15 years by people who benefit from fear!!
Some dismiss concerns about subway crime as baseless, the result of insufficiently hardened attitudes toward life in the “big city," Charles Fain Lehman writes. But if policy makers ignore people’s fears, they'll miss a chance to make transit better:
The Other Reason Americans Don’t Use Mass Transit
People will take buses and trains only if they feel safe while riding them.
