    Pet peeve: Blockchain mining is not "solving puzzles". It's yelling random numbers till you get Bingo. You burn money and energy to roll dice really fucking fast. That's it.

    TED talks are to good sessions like airports are to homes. They are un-talks in the worst, most designy kind of way.

    Just seen a sponsored ad saying "Treat every lecture like a TED talk".

    Do not do this. A TED talk is a scripted monologue. A real class is a two way communication of knowledge and you must be able to go "off script" if necessary.

    Having "Followers" and "likes" etc as a super visible metric is actually one of the big problems Twitter has systemically.

    Again it shows how the product management priorities are super out of whack.

    Horst Seehofer ist wirklich ein schlechter Mensch.

    Was zur Hölle ist bei dem schief gelaufen, dass er das erheiternd findet?

    The Nerd praises for Elon Musk are an expression of nerdism's inherent fascination and love for the dictator. The "big man" and "hero" to make decisions.

    That fascist idea is deeply woven into nerdism's core beliefs.

    The it's usually "decentralization" which blockchains are not: It's not independent processes but the same processes with the same data running in parallel. That's not decentralization.

    That's why so much blockchain evangelism falls on its face: People keep looking for problems with properties that a blockchain could handle and forget looking at other alternatives.

    With the new found prominence of public fascists people wonder: What can you do when you see fascists?

    You wouldn't believe how many people replied to this thread with "something something #Blockchain".

    No, honey. Just no. An extremely inefficient append-only database will not solve any of this.

    The main problem with Github being bought by Microsoft isn't MS.

    It's that in 2018 we still haven't learned that critical infrastructure shouldn't belong to one company ... and that we should avoid building single points of failure.

    Please don’t buy into this rhetoric, especially if you’re from a marginalized community. Do your work well within the hours you’re being paid to do that work. Then, if you have the mental space, work on something for yourself. Don’t give everything to a company you don’t own. https://twitter.com/putemupcdukes/status/997448716398325762

    Suggesting to run a mid-size NGO via instant messaging is just insane. We use Signal groups in large, cross-border investigative collaborations, and it's stressing everyone out, doesn't permit for in-depth conversation to take place.

    TIL that changing random stuff until your program works is "hacky" and "bad coding practice" but if you do it fast enough it's "#MachineLearning" and pays 4x your current salary

    The technology itself seems amazing. The apparent lack of appreciation for the human end of the equation was stunning. In a world of manipulative call center scams and exploitation, it’s broken to not announce a robot. (2/5)

    The Google Duplex presentation was the something I'd expect from a 20-something, clueless Y combinator startup, not a mature company Google's size. (1/5)

    Richard Stallman is the reason I didn’t start contributing to open source (then called “free software”) in the 90s.

    I’m not the only one.

    He and his followers pushed out a whole generation of female developers, just at that critical time when open source adoption was widening. https://twitter.com/alicegoldfuss/status/993677847280562178

    Facebook seems incapable of thinking of connections outside of its software platform.

    That's what you get in echo chambers.
