Reminder: MAGA is *not* a protected class re: laws against discrimination. White supremacists are trying to reverse uno that shit.

🚨 Observability isn’t what it used to be—and that’s a good thing. In our latest blog, we unpack why traditional approaches are falling short, what’s changing, and why that change is worth embracing. “It’s the End of Observability As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” 👉 buff.ly/wfRShPJ

Kleya deserves her own series now.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Littel kitty heeded not the looming spectre of doom.

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) are executing a marathon live stream on east steps of Capitol Rep Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, says GOP House budget will gut health and nutritional assistance programs

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

"G.M. monitored and sold people’s precise geolocation data and driver behavior information, sometimes as often as every three seconds,” Lina M. Khan, chair of the F.T.C. “With this action, the F.T.C. is safeguarding Americans’ privacy and protecting people from unchecked surveillance.”

SpaceX: Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn. Everyone else: It blew up.

This is what it looks like when you lose a massive spacecraft on its way to orbit right over the Caribbean. Lots of commercial flights turning/holding/diverting to avoid falling debris from SpaceX's Starship.

If the media can be so easily manipulated against women to smear them who make up half the population, think about how easily it's being done to trans people who are 1% of the population. The New York Times has been doing it for years. www.yahoo.com/news/blake-l...

This should be more than a tad concerning. Even the human guardrails for AI need guardrails. techcrunch.com/2024/12/18/e...

@startreedata.bsky.social Thank you and Merry Christmas! My community box arrived last night and with my winnings from the MI competition I recently purchased a pair of skis. #startree

Once upon a time, not the entire internet was 4chan. Only 4chan was 4chan, because everywhere else would kick you out for Doing 4chan in their spaces. It sounds utopian, but it is true.

Just to be clear: however bad you think the Trump second term will be, I assure you it’ll be worse. Bookmark this if you don’t believe me.

Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.

Before this month is over, Prof. @timothysnyder.bsky.social may need to rewrite this chapter to something more like, "Do Not Ignominiously Grovel in Advance"

Syria is free. But Syria is still haunted.

Do not comply in advance.

Let's be clear. I am not aware of Lindy Li having ever worked on an actual campaign. She had a ton of money and was buying her way into fundraisers and events and complaining if she didn't get a picture with the VP. She isn't a "Democratic official" and she sure isn't a political strategist.

We have a bunny that lopes around our HOA. Sharing here as a timeline cleanser.

The (mostly) quadrennial DTrace conference, the only conference named after a config file, dtrace.conf is next week. Using DTrace, building with DTrace, inspired by DTrace--come present in the unconference format! For more, check @bcantrill.bsky.social's great post oxide.computer/blog/dtrace-...

I'm glad Pete Hegseth has pledged not to drink if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. So, I guess he can still sexually harass women, mismanage funds, discriminate against women service members, push for a Christian Nationalist agenda, and be a virulent Islamaphobe? Super duper.

I ran 80,000 simulations and in 38,500 of them there was a second coup attempt in South Korea. And I tell you where to get the best bibimbap in Fort Lee. All that and more in the next Silver Bulletin.

Give this woman a crown and make her your Queen.

The other day I was pitching our Gilded Age course to undergrads: “Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a nation where the wealthy had insane power and ordinary people were reoeatedly crushed by them until they lashed out in anger?”

Every public action on Bluesky is available via a stream of events known as the firehose. By monitoring the firehose for repeated text, it is sometimes possible to quickly detect groups of spam accounts as they spawn.

New: multiple major health insurance companies (Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Caresource, Medica, Elevance Health) have taken down pages on their websites which listed their leadership, following the murder of United Healthcare CEO www.404media.co/multiple-maj...

Those saying that are forgetting about all the wild pardons Trump already issued and never paid a political price for. And that's how he won the election. No one holds him accountable for his actions. Ever.

I genuinely don't think I can handle the next four years of New York Times headlines. Kill me now.

Even Elon's own AI admits he's a liar.

@kraythur.bsky.social Followed, my friend!

If only the New York Times had written headlines this clear and direct before the election.

Arcane S2:E5 is punk af.

range queries (e.g. `age > 20 AND age < 35`) have a cool indexing strategy in apache pinot. each row gets assigned to `log(n)` bitsets based on the binary representation of `age`. range queries then turn into unions and intersections of these sets. richardstartin.github.io/posts/range-...
