Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug

Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

@alexisohanian @opalelectronics Ahh so that explains why they haven’t pushed any software updates to Opal Composer in a almost two years…

Who’s solved screen-time parenting at the network level? I want enforce screen time rules but all the different options kind of suck for varying reasons.

You’re only as secure as the vendors you use.

Everyone is shipping faster but at the cost of more security incidents and bugs.

I��ve definitely noticed more bugs in the software I use day to day. The number of security incidents announced seems to be increasing.
Could be confirmation bias. Would love to see some actual data on number of bugs/security incidents over time.

[Vercel @vercel]

We’ve identified a security incident that involved unauthorized access to certain internal Vercel systems, impacting a limited subset of customers. Please see our security bulletin:

@doodlestein I’m going to run this on my current will written by a former white-shoe (now retired) trust and estates lawyer family member. Will report back for science

[Tom Hunter @teehuntz]

@doodlestein initial feedback: need microsoft SSO. My org doesn't use google workspace unfortunately.

[Tom Hunter @teehuntz]

@doodlestein Thanks will definitely check it out

[Tom Hunter @teehuntz]

@doodlestein CRM systems seem like the most obvious candidate here

[Tom Hunter @teehuntz]

@doodlestein @anothercohen Yes please that would be incredible. Scrambling to find anyway to justify not moving over to teams

[Tom Hunter @teehuntz]

Been saying this for years. Confirmation bias is all you need.

[Steve Stewart-Williams @SteveStuWill]

Psychologists have posited hundreds of cognitive biases over the years. A fascinating new paper argues that they all boil down to one of a handful of fundamental beliefs coupled with confirmation bias.

the open source maintainers who rage at you for submitting a PR with AI are so funny

"how dare you try to improve my project with your labor/tokens! Did you even think of the poor maintainers?!?"

such a weird stance to take—either allow open source contributions or don't. If you have some philosophical stance against AI generated code then maybe say that in your contributions docs or us a review bot to flag things automatically (ironically using AI)

instead you're just wasting everyone's time.

@jayparsons Since everyone loves a meta acronym, I propose YINOs to refer to these groups henceforth

Y.I.N.O.s

YIMBY in name only

Y.I.N.O.s

YIMBY in name only

[Jay Parsons @jayparsons]

Genuinely puzzled that 100+ YIMBY groups signed off on a letter that says "we should allow build-to-rent construction everywhere except not really everywhere."

What the heck? YIMBYs are now NIMBYs?

That is literally a tactic you criticize NIMBYs for. 🤦‍♂️

@NateSilver538 @maxwelltani Best run in the city is the dumbo waterfront and it’s not even close (must be willing to truck unaware tourists)

[Tom Hunter @teehuntz]

@nicolegelinas Literally two new developments on former parking lots in my neck of Brooklyn ongoing right now.

Was considering getting a bilt card to pay mortgages on my investment properties. Fees like I potentially dodged a bullet there

[Jason Mikula @mikulaja]

Also this week! Numerous @HeyBilt users are complaining of delayed, duplicate, and bounced rent & mortgage payments.

The problems appear to stem from Bilt’s use of shadow “payment accounts,” which pool users’ housing payments in FBOs at Column — and at Evolve Bank & Trust:

@kyle_e_walker @duckdb Where are you getting the parcel polygons from?

[Tom Hunter @teehuntz]

@vipul_1011 Would love to attend the next event

[Tom Hunter @teehuntz]

@catpanavan @TransAlt Because parking mandates cause less new housing supply and higher rents
