The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Went to see bugonia and one battle after another today. The first? Cinema. The second? A Movie. Would recommend both but preferred the second, surprisingly.

so ask yourself, when you're advancing some new grand theory of Why Things Are Like This: does this theory actually point the way towards new solutions you hadn't thought of before? or does it just smear a layer of verbiage on top of your existing grievances and grudges?

I came back from Sync Conf and shocked how many people are building text editors and the struggles they had with yjs.

Changelog 3 is out. Mostly we were busy with Sync Conf, the American holiday known as veteran's day, and 😱 replacing our frontend state management system. 😱 But we are looking forward to some very big product announcements in the next couple weeks. moment.dev/blog/changel...

Meta must rein in scammers — or face consequences
Scams are ruinous to users — but, reportedly, big business to Meta.
