It would almost be art if Trump built a bridge that was immediately under water. — https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/10/climate/trump-infrastructure-climate-change.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

Asking parents to "keep a list of emergency contacts and documents that children can find in an emergency" is scary. — https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/2018/02/08/dallas-isd-developing-plan-help-little-ones-parents-swept-immigration-authorities

Texans "need functioning public schools, transportation and hurricane recovery. They don't need the Texas equivalent of the Saudi morality police." — https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/02/08/dan-patrick-giving-conservatism-bad-name-texas

Not as much interested in Amazon as I didn't realize Spring Creek ran under the mall. Bringing it back to being a creek and an asset would improve the area dramatically. — https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2018/02/08/developer-sam-ware-close-buying-collin-creek-mall-site-pitched-amazon-hq2

My day can basically be described as: "old man yells at cloud."

Interesting and exciting. If Democratic white men are starting to be interested in equal rights, we can hopefully start to get some movement on those issues. — https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/white-democrats-have-gotten-way-more-liberal-on-identity-issues/

On the program for @socallinuxexpo@twitter.com speaking about SVG Filters and Inkscape. Should be a fun talk about an underused (besides blur) feature of SVG, come and learn a bit.

@mairin Biden. But the whole thing was about getting vodka for a really kick-ass Moscow Mule recipe he found online.

Food for thought on how unique our photos can actually be. — https://www.dpreview.com/videos/1797504388/this-video-shows-that-everyone-takes-the-exact-same-instagram-travel-photos

@tinker hazing the new guy? 😉

@cassidyjames in U8 we put the data in ZG using Open and Close events on the application. I believe there is a GIO hook that does similar stuff. I'm not sure what's installed in Elementary though.

For getting the data back out I made a little CLI that had the number of seconds you used each app. Welcome to crib of course: https://github.com/unity8-team/ubuntu-app-launch/blob/master/tools/ubuntu-app-usage.c

@cwebber I think that it's probably not that purposeful, but the lower interest rates do help keep inflation lower, which helps those with cash keep it. I think that we've now shown inflation can be too high and too low.

@cwebber maybe the market panicked because they knew it would result in inflation, which would force wage increases, and they're not that interested in wage earners making a bigger piece of the pie. If the market panics, I see that as a good thing. We just need the fed to be unafraid of it.

@cassidyjames @elementary neat stuff. I'm also curious if on the app's page you could talk about usage. "You've used this app for 200 hours and paid $2" to show value.

@tinker no consequences? Do you know how many boring DC cocktail parties they had to attend to get that?

Turning off snap builds for arm64 and armhf for the master branch of Inkscape. The updated GNOME libraries aren't built for them currently. Sorry if you're using those. Should be back once those dependencies get built.

@liw I could never have one because the only password I could imagine using is "SomeLikeItHot" 🔥

@liw may "smart saunas" never be a thing.
