Wall Street has decided Trump is too mentally unstable to trust.
A THREAD.

1. I want to suggest today that what we are seeing on Wall Street and in markets around the world is the sudden realization that the president is mentally unstable – that he has dementia, probably – and as a result of that realization, investors no longer have any faith in Donald Trump.

The most recent iOS build includes some of our internal dev tooling. Turns out this was caused by a race condition in our build pipeline. An internal build was running at the same time as the production build, and the build-number got misassigned. I blame DNS.

Seems like people wanna talk about all the locked-up stuff at chain pharmacies and big box stores today. Here’s a gift link to a feature I published a few months ago about why retailers started putting so much stuff behind plexiglass and how badly it’s backfired. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
