So bummed to see a lot of great people affected by the layoffs at @Meta today. Wishing them all the best.

@tlipcon Ouch, sorry to hear she is not feeling well Todd — no ideas except maybe getting one parent to wait in the ER. Hoping the kiddo feels better soon.

@HenryR Daniel Kahneman in “Thinking, Fast and Slow” would call this “System 1” thinking, which is the intuitive system of thinking, and which falls prey to the idea that “what you see is all there is”, ignoring potentially extensive but absent evidence.

@awadallah Amr, I know what you wrote came from the right place. It was brave of you to put yourself out there like that — talking about prejudice and politics is risky. You’re a good person and a strong leader. Keep holding your head high.

Janet Yellen: "I really don’t think the major factor is the extra unemployment" holding back hiring.

She points to these 3 as bigger factors in slow hiring:
-Ongoing childcare issues
-Ongoing fears of covid exposure at work
-Supply chain bottlenecks

@strlen @EduardHabsburg Don’t know much about the Hohenstaufens — maybe you should write this novel? It was just after that period but we visited Avignon and it was cool, totally worth the trip. And dude I had no idea real a Habsburg is the current Hungarian ambassador to the Vatican! 🤯

@rbravender dyeing — “I was dyeing my shirt red”

@fabbrication Not if you thought you could successfully delegitimize it.

[Mike Percy @mike_percy]

@esammer Very sad for your loss, Eric.

[Andy Slavitt @ASlavitt]

By now every American should have access to N-95 quality masks. Every day that passes is a scandal & an epic failure of indifference of our government.

Details to come soon. Follow here if interested.

@mola_io My team (MySQL / MyRocks at Facebook) is hiring.

@GabrielG439 Isn’t the main point of that essay not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good? (And that sometimes a more complex interface allowing for a much simpler, more reliable implementation is the right tradeoff to make.)

[Mike Percy @mike_percy]

@esammer Very sorry about your loss Eric. The Federal response is a travesty and it’s heartbreaking.

[Mike Percy @mike_percy]

@HenryR Not like this. Not like this.
