@M_Fenix629 @projecthailmary You're right that there is a difference in time perception, but the book explains the math. @neiltyson has given a thumbs-up to the science in the book. RG only 3-4 years during the trip, while Earth experience the 12 years, each way.

For when you lose track of your uncommitted code changes.

There are simple explanations for all these billionaires who once shunned Trump but are now back in his camp.

Deals.

Elon Musk called him too old and unfit to lead, but now is his biggest surrogate.

Deal: unlimited government subsidies, tax breaks, deregulation and the DOJ dropping all investigations into Elon's criminal foreign allegiances.

Rupert Murdock called Trump unsuited for the presidency after J6, but endorsed him via the NY Post this week.

Deal: the Fox News propaganda machine stays protected and profitable.

Similar deals struck with the Adelsons, Thiels and Crows of this world.

The list of Faustian pacts goes on and on.

All these deals are good for them, but they all come at your expense.

In 11 days, you get to decide who your government should work for.

You or them.

@TheBlindHacker @ITMikeHarrison I live outside of Tampa Florida, and I have wondered recently why our highs are only in the low 90s. Normally it would be mid-90 to 100. Don't get me wrong: it is still sticky and hot AF, but a lot less hot.

@TheBlindHacker I have a hearing loss and it affects my listening comprehension for sung/spoken words. i'm also an amateur musician w/focus on brass instruments. I hear and marvel at pure, round symphonic tones and harmonies. Words mean 0 to me, so I enjoy music in other languages.

@kelseyhightower Consider this the "front-end" interface. The "backend" pipes carry your "payloads" to a shared underground sewer. In the country, you will have your own septic tank, and have to pay professionals to pump it out every 4-5 years.

Real Plumbers know the "whole stack". Do you?

This should be decided at the ballot box!

(He loses at the ballot box)

(incites a violent mob to storm the capitol)

If he broke any laws, that’s up to a jury to decide!

(A jury decides he broke a ton of laws)

This should be decided at the ballot box!

@kelseyhightower My mom's LG Smart TV from 2022 got busted during a recent move, so I replaced it w/same model number from Walmart. When I set it up, I saw "AI-enabled" on a paper insert. Now I'm dreading Mom's first support call to me. #doSomethingUnexpected

I do think there's an interesting angle to this non-compete stuff that isn't being talked about.

It might actually allow Amazon to recruit people it otherwise couldn't get it--people who were turning down inquiries out-of-hand over the noncompete.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Huge news for anyone working in tech in the US.

Noncompetes are now banned: not just in California (like before), but nationwide. Very, very relevant for anyone at Amazon (which is the Big Tech that has enforced noncompetes even for low-level engineering positions).

@Ell_o_Punk I went to 🇩🇪&🇦🇹 a couple years ago. I just made ATM withdrawals for 200€ as needed, using my 🇺🇲 cards. Let the banks work it out.
