@Freedom_rider22 @kayleighmcenany Fortunately he’s not smug at all.

@KentPitman I was thinking that today it’s standard to have tutorials deeply embedded in software so you can learn the software by using it for real, while also having tool tips and tutorials take over to drive. Was wondering if your LISP tutor pioneered that style of tutorial?

@FemiAkinyemi @AdamMGrant He was in journalism school to be an investigative reporter, so he was also predisposed to seek out knowledge. Another part of the art of wisdom is learning which questions matter and which don't. (Will be continuing this reply from my primary account)

@FemiAkinyemi @AdamMGrant Maybe what's innate is that some young people are naturally very reflective and thoughtful. Most people are not at all. Not even slightly. I met a college sophomore once who somehow had more wisdom than people 2x his age. Because he looked around & thought about what he saw.

@SM4Tech @Skacey @SteverRobbins I had no idea you could use textual queries like that! Thank you!

@tim_cook I didn’t think that I could be convinced to stop buying @Apple products. Supporting one who incites attacks with a large megaphone is going too far. Stop supporting this.

@Skacey @SM4Tech @SteverRobbins Is there any way to eliminate these stupid “foobar LIKED this tweet” messages?

[Stever Robbins @[email protected] @GetItDoneGuy]

@SM4Tech @Skacey @SteverRobbins How active do you have to be to influence the algorithm? Likes or replies or retweets or…? I haven’t been actively trying to retrain other than blocking the accounts I don’t subscribe to, but that hasn’t been doing anything to show me accounts I want to see.

@ManishAway @Fastmail It’s also very technically flexible in terms of rules, custom domains, etc. @Fastmail also makes their money by being high-quality email, which means they’re focused on doing a good job. Gmail is focused on profiling you and serving ads.

@ChrisSosa I don’t read it as a blanket statement. The screen shot you shared said it was a difficult vote with something as consequential as censuring the President. That doesn’t sound blanket to me…?

@FrankLuntz Happened to a very close family member last week. His last words to me were “I’ve been very stupid.”

@nicolesaintp @heatherscope @AOC It was under GW Bush that the prohibition on negotiating drug prices was instated. It was always an explicit giveaway to big pharma.

@SGgrc I’m surprised it took you until 2021 to speculate that MSFT doesn’t care about its customers. I figured that out during the anti-trust trial when their defense was *literally* “our software is so poorly engineered that deleting an icon will destroy the OS.”

@chasel1994 @dominos Wait until you see the policies for new law firm associates. 😉

@grandebabbo @JimJamLFC @NateSilver538 People don’t understand the importance of base rates. I only learned about them in the last few years. Rocked my world!

@doctorow Math puzzle: Amazon has 1.3 million employees. Bezos owns 11%. Trades at a multiple of 36. Assuming 52 40-hour weeks, how much does Bezos’s net worth drop for every $1/hr he increases wages?

@doctorow What kind of beer? It matters…
