Possibly the worst billboard campaign I’ve ever seen

@sdamico @ashleevance dude amazing!!

Our whole discipline is probably just called "Product" eventually.

Super ICs that do the whole thing—product strategy, design, and build. Imo, design/taste is the best spike for this future

@sdw @tweetbyyahn ++ It's the best iPhone I've ever owned. I'm bummed that it's not selling better - I think people just won't tolerate what they perceive as a worse camera than the Pro?

We will be shocked later that a US president conducted himself the way he does. We're used to it now, but it truly is an aberration.

Good job Sen Warren, you blocked Amazon from rescuing iRobot and in the process killed an American company while transferring its core assets to China.

SF hospitals bear the largest burden of homeless drug-induced psychosis in all of CA - we put frontline workers at risk everyday. The drug tourism must end.
"91% of emergency physicians or their colleagues, were a victim of violence...Psychiatric patients and those under the influence of drugs or alcohol are frequently cited as perpetrators."

Claude: Perfect! All tests passing with no linting errors. Now let's create a test README to document the setup.

I'm open sourcing some code I wrote last year: A proof-of-concept end-to-end encrypted alternative to Slack/Discord using the Labyrinth protocol. I'm no longer working on this, but I wanted to share the code because I think it's an interesting approach. https://t.co/15QEdw6NhR

@alexmccullaaa @Polymarket Yes exactly. I’m wondering if the long tail of smaller markets influences the %s significantly

Ken Hale, a retired Cal Fire battalion chief who was chief investigator for Nevada County v. PG&E, explained in a 2019 article how "PG&E is spending millions to convince everyone in California that all these fires are caused by climate change" instead of on "vegetation management and maintenance as required by law to maintain in a safe and reliable power grid."

"Sorry folks, climate change does not start fires. Powerlines in contact with vegetation does. If there is no spark, there is no fire, regardless of the weather," said Hale.

During Hale's investigation, he unearthed emails from PG&E that "straight out said that it was less expensive to pay the fines than to trim the trees." Although this case resulted in over 700 criminal convictions, Hale says "PG&E has not changed much in the last 25 years."

I wish Apple would add an eSIM & cellular data to the MacBook Pro. The personal hotspot experience is pretty smooth, but this would be seamless and I don’t get why they haven’t done it yet

The left side is the @Chase Travel portal when you're using a Safari Mac user agent. The right side is the exact same dates using a Windows Edge user agent. Insane!

Because your data is encrypted and stored on-device rather than on our server, all of the aggregation and handling for reactions happens in the client. Under the hood, Wavelength is essentially an end-to-end encrypted distributed database, and the server is just a message buffer.

[Richard Henry @richardhenry]

We just added support for emoji reactions to Wavelength. Like all messages, reactions are end-to-end encrypted and private. We created a new context menu interaction that lets you tap a message to quickly react to it — it’s really smooth, and we built some fun animations.

Wavelength has been banned in China 🎉
