@bendreyfuss He’s a leader who does public speaking, market analysis, and budget oversight.

Also he knows how to count coins.

This resume needs an editor to tell him to focus

@dylanmatt @jbarro I don’t really want to justify this stupidity… but isn’t a 30% VAT equivalent to a 23% flat income tax?

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@AudubonCA I’m no expert, but surely that is too far south for a non-irruption year to be natural

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@codinghorror Rush’s “Clockwork Angels” album vs the live version

Because sound mixers for studio albums are apparently deaf these days. And also because the latter had a string ensemble instead of synths

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@davidfowl @engineering_bae That’s a great chart, but it assumes 100% randomness in capitalization and punctuation. If you let users pick their own capitalization and punctuation, it will not be random

So it only really applies to people with password managers, in which case why not 100 characters?

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@Pinboard Oh thank God

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@bendreyfuss Passwords are going away. Apple, google, and Microsoft have all agreed to do the new thing called “passkeys”

You’ll just need your phone

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@RadioFreeTom “The key is…” be an entirely different business. That’s not a plan that should have survived self-critique before posting

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@RadioFreeTom Methinks it will come as news to the Advertisers paying thousands that only people who paid $8 have “skin in the game.”

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@bendreyfuss There already is a way to hide the location. But Elon’s first instinct is to blame others so…

@john_sipher @RadioFreeTom @stuartpstevens A Tesla will never be a maga hat. That said, this is all embarrassing for Tesla owners, which is perhaps not the best way to sell luxury cars

@Porter97977215 @bendreyfuss “De facto shadow ban” is a phrase that does not have meaning if you, you know, actually know what the definition of “shadow ban” is

It’s like saying “my house is de facto on fire”. That’s… not a thing

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@Porter97977215 @bendreyfuss Dude shadow banning is a real thing OTHER sites do to jerks and it’s hilarious. It’s not “semantics” to use a word to mean exactly what it unambiguously means

Hell banning is even funnier tho

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@bendreyfuss The Big Year

Fun story but the narrator has an warm voice and I could totally see falling asleep listening to it

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@Popehat He’s not here for the hunting

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@bendreyfuss “Accessibility” means making a device usable to someone with a handicap. Saying it’s a human right is just like, Apple’s opinion man that it should happen.

E.g. blind people can not only use iPhones, but they are frequently faster at it. Or for olds like me, gimme the big text

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@patio11 I notice a lot of weird round numbers without obvious explanation. Tether claiming equity that rounded to a million is 250. 3pool having 50/25/25 shares plus or minus a couple percent

Is that weird, or are there reasons other “someone chose the number”

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@rands @siracusa Technical foul: using the wrong variable on the y-axis

Surely you meant to use deaths per MILES DRIVEN and weren’t manipulating the presentation for Lolita’s purposes

[Colin Jensen @colinmjensen]

@mbillips @RadioFreeTom So boring they’ve only made like five long-running TV series about him and many films 😊

@atmp__0__x7___ @patio11 Ask yourself what stopped the contagion in 2008
