just thieves who really wanted shiny things

regardless of the specifics of the h1b proclamation, the timing that gives essentially 24 hours notice to re-enter the U.S. continues to prove that cruelty is the point for many of this administration’s implementation details.

Hearing some companies are using lines of code and number of PRs generated by engineers to gauge GenAI use in their workforce.
Okay but why are we pairing a generational improvement in developer productivity with literally the worse way to gauge developer productivity???

most financial strategy response to major world events is "don't worry, if ___ really does happen, we have bigger problems".
ok yes. so.... hypothetically, if the bigger problem happened, like say a non-independent Fed, does it impact the basic calculus of a 3-fund portfolio?

The entire suit is stupid, but the dumbest part is that in 2020, the % of Starbuck's U.S. workforce was 69%*. In 2024, it's 70.9. This suit is predicated on a 1.9% increase in women in the workforce.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Recently opened Facebook and my feed was mostly people sharing Facebook memories from the 2010s and going "wow remember this".
Between that, the decline of hashtags, and so much more, the online culture of the 2010s has almost entirely transformed.
(Weirdly, the 2000s online era feels more alive?)

Get rid of blocking, tell people to stop using hashtags, make the main feed totally algorithmically unusable and boring.
Congrats to Elon -- in just a couple of years he has successfully destroyed everything that made Twitter an app for connection.
(even if hashtags do suck)
