@keds_economist @CaseyNewton I loved how you said, ""you don't get to talk about the American worker like that in front of me." Earlier in the day, @lennysan sent out his annual survey on AI+work and I said something similar in my comments. It's appalling how CEOs/founders are being so blase abt ppl.

To be clear, I don't want him there.

But don't tell me that this man doesn't straight up hate Jews.

Having your wife do rapid response for your cheating scandal is bad.

[Beautyinnis 🇺🇸 @beautyinnis]

@grahamformaine A real man doesn't make his wife come out and make a public statement about YOUR scandal. YOU should be out front making a statement, not your poor wife who has suffered enough from your actions.
You're a COWARD.

The Knicks making the finals gives every New York-area team hope. EVERY ONE OF THEM. Even the ones whose names end in -ets who are doing their best to prove success is impossible.

This is what a successful brainwashing campaign looks like. The “reality” of his social media feed. China is winning.

I've said for years that it is mind boggling how such a well educated electorate doesn't vote.

[stevemur @stevemur]

Entirely self-inflicted. It’s the policies. And it’s the voters who put these leaders in place.

And perhaps most important, it’s the apathy of voters who sit out elections, and then wonder why we have such bad policy.

@gtconway3d Not sure why anyone even starts watching an NBA playoff game before the halfway mark of the 4th quarter. 😂

@KIRO7Seattle Why didn't anyone ask Strauss how he didn't know about this sooner given he is a Sound Transit Board Member? Oh, that would require journalism and not boot licking. He rubber stamped Dow, which you were all late on.

[Mark Goldfeder @MarkGoldfeder]

Terrible statement for three reasons:
1) Antisemites are protesting a synagogue event, and he condemns the people inside the synagogue — not the mob outside.
2) Protecting citizens is not a favor from the mayor. It is the job.
3) And, as usual, he is wrong on the law. Let me explain:

Would Jon Favreau describe Platner as a “good, decent man…always trying to do better” if he had a KKK tattoo?? Doubt it. @jonfavs

Golders Green is my local high street. It’s a great area, full of different cultures.

It’s a predominantly Jewish area and it’s a privilege as a non-Jew to live alongside such a warm and friendly community.

Since October 7th, there has been a visible increase in hostility towards the Jewish community. ‘Missing’ posters of relatives were torn down. Yellow ribbons removed from railings. ‘From the River to the Sea’ stickers plastered on lampposts. Verbal abuse in the street.

I’ve seen the fear grow in Jewish friends and neighbours, driven by political activists who have revelled in creating that fear. Enabled by others who are indifferent to the impact of their political bedfellows.

I hope they now appreciate the awful impact of their behaviour.

Saying ‘globalise the intifada’ isn’t just something that immediately identifies you as a dickhead, it is also a form of incitement.

If you say it, you are deliberately intimidating Jewish people.

Stop it, it’s vile.

Are they still pricing by hour or by engagement/outcomes?

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

We all know with certainty that AI will drastically reduce the costs of corporate auditing. This cost-reduction already widespread in legal. One problem - the big 4 are holding the line, telling clients despite AI, we are not lowering rates.

Curious how this lands. The "task" is way cheaper. Will one of the "next three" start disrupting with price? Will the PCAOB circle ranks in an ugly act of regulatory capture?

I'm watching with interest. Any predictions?

[JC Beck (she/her) @JLCBeck]

@stevemgordon67 @jpodhoretz @rkylesmith Agreed. 19yo nephew was here recently. No interest and never hear him talk about the movies like we did and still do (although less so than the past).

How about eliminating the PBM agent in a duel of some kind?

[Nikhil Krishnan @nikillinit]

the future of healthcare is pokemon - each of us have an AI agent

- my agent will battle the provider agent
- The provider agent will battle the payer agent
- Me and the pharmacy agent will fight a 2 on 2 battle against the payer and PBM

the future is going to be awesome

In Texas, Ohio, Missouri, and North Carolina, they didn't even have a referendum. They just did it.

Republicans control the entire federal government. They could introduce and pass a national ban before the month is out. Democrats would vote for it. Stop crying.

[David Bernstein @ProfDBernstein]

According the article, the dissenting group at the featured synagogue has 50 members on its Whats App chat.
The shul's website says it has 450 member families, which means a lot more than 450 member adults (some couples, some households with adult children, some singles), at least 750 seems like a reasonable estimate.
So about 6% of the congregants, all apparently politically left-wing in general. (One joined the synagogue, she says, because of its 'progressive commitments.' Another was involved in Habonim D'ror, a far-left Zionist youth group.
This is not "synagogues are dividing", this is Jews are the far to very far left deciding that the far left is where their primary commitments lie.
