The traders grew rich; and with riches came power. Tales without end are told of these massive, lonely figures who bore half-seriously, half mockingly a motto adopted from one of Salvor Hardin's epigrams, "never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right!"

When you can't trust banks, you're angry.
When you can't trust media, you lose shared reality.
When you can't trust whether what you're reading was written by a human or not — you lose something harder to name. The assumption of interlocutor. The idea that someone meant something. --Claude

@BoWang87 Canada is a like a company with kickass product/engineering teams w/o a decent sales and marketing strategy. The problem is that a bunch of bureaucrats are trying to do GTM. Oh and don’t forget Canadian crabs.

There should be a default filter when some one asks a technical question, cut the crap and get to the point

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Markdown becoming the hottest programming language was not on my bingo card.

@allaei @pizghool Just wait for "Babak Inaa and co" in LA and Canada to do their thing. Someone should write a PhD thesis on this phenomena. Fascinating behaviour.

@allaei good memories! I remember those days. I remember chatting with folks in Italy and even once an IDF soldier jumped on a chat (didn't end well)

Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win the Fields Medal in mathematics (the Nobel of mathematics), studied at Sharif University of Technology - which was just bombed by US-Israel. No US woman has ever win a Fields medal. The moral descent of USA continues lower and lower.

I remember Saddam doing the same. Buildings can be re-build though, with better ones.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Disgraceful!

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.

It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov

And Trump just bombed it...

The world is a large theater with a small exit door. The definition of the sucker is someone who focuses on the size of the theater, not the size of the door.
