The largest bottleneck: making sense of systems

at 38, many peers took offense to my naive proclaimation of middle age. "own it, and embrace it …"

[Allen Downey @AllenDowney]

This week's post is two-for-one:

1) Report from my ODSC talk on the life expectancy gender gap

2) An overthought answer to a Reddit question: when is middle age?

TLDR: This post is no longer sub gated

My sub only plan lasted 3 hours. I had public for tutorials/guides, and behind-the-scenes for subs

But realized everything I do is behind-the-scenes "what I do" so split makes no sense

So it's all public again

Mt. Lebanon describes itself as "a premier example of that phenomenon of modern American life, the 'automobile suburb.'" Dan Joyce parked there, and ended up with a pile of tickets and questions about police accountability https://t.co/X51JklwZAC

Sometimes instead of using AI, I Google something and read the docs page just to feel alive again.

I was present on the bus when this terrifying shooting occurred in northwest DC earlier this evening. The lives of the bus passengers were put in even greater danger by what appears to be a local regulation-related issue that I would like to raise with DC's local government:

i'm moderately inspired visually. also, this needs an editor. it reminds me of contnt-heavy pre-internet local tv ads.
how do we get past the gimmick?

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Sound on.

i forgot to inquire about dia. i must ask.

[Kenneth Durril @[email protected] @Kennetd]

arc is great. however, its features always seemed to need a focus, a product to organize. I always envisioned this
enhancing jira and confluence.
The desktop experience is still neglected, so i'm bullish on what they create next.

[The Browser Company @browsercompany]

Today, The Browser Company of New York is entering into an agreement to be acquired by Atlassian for $610M in an all-cash transaction.

We will operate independently, with Dia as our focus. Our objective is to bring Dia to the masses.

shocking that @kevinolearytv actually said big firms would “crush you like the colorful cockroaches that you are” to these two women.

A fascinating aspect of coalitional game theory is how it shows coalitions are much more likely to change over time than we tend to expect. The idea that a social group "belongs" by nature to a specific political coalition is misleading.

oh ticketmaster… i often think, "I should see more live music.". then i actually go to a show and ticketmaster's pain reminds me it is are not worth the effort.

Kahneman: "Irrational is a strong word, which connotes impulsivity, emotionality, and a stubborn resistance to reasonable argument. I often cringe when my work with Amos is credited with demonstrating that human choices are irrational, when in fact our research only showed that Humans are not well described by the rational-agent model."

Ruben Rosario was a giant in journalism, and not just for his scoops. His empathy for the most vulnerable and eye for the humanity in every story is always what I’ll admire about him the most. Here’s my tribute to him. https://t.co/JYxWxVyfqo
