More wheat stats.

My personal favorite Misleading Wheat Stat is "Ukraine/Russia grow 25% of world wheat exports."

Why's it misleading? It's technically true, but doesn't mean what people think!

Missing wheat from the war is actually less than 1% of global wheat crop!

My big accomplishment of the week is testing negative for Covid (twice) and staying awake for 24.5 hours while traveling so I slept on local time. Now I’m back home and jetlag free the next morning!

Around fifteen researchers and critics have annotated @kevinroose's thinly-veiled cryptocurrency advertisement that ran in the @nytimes last Sunday. We try to provide the editorial scrutiny and critical perspectives that the piece so irresponsibly lacked.

If I don't get covid on this trip, it's a miracle - thanks only to vaccination. I'm trying to practice precautions (masking inside) but still eating indoors and outdoors is crowded like pre-pandemic.

so then the first-grade whole class started logging into each other's accounts and sabotaging each other by spending down their points on the weirdest or ugliest outfits they could come up with. this is their generation's version of the cafeteria food fight.

at #IETF113 @vibronet steps up to the mic to propose an interoperable mechanism for step-up authentication in OAuth 2.0

Having those conversations in person is so incredibly effective. Excellent discussion, looking forward for next steps

Is there a good standard for representing a datetime+timezone as a string?

ISO8601 only stores the offset from UTC which isn't what I want - I'm looking to include things like America/Los_Angeles

This is a good call-out: since you can't predict future changes to timezone polygons, solving this problem perfectly likely requires saying "I will meet you on 5 March 2050 at 6pm in whatever timezone currently applies at 40.273502, -86.126976"

This looks like it might be what I want!

How’d you even find the place?

Tautologies are tautologies 😛

Missing my own talk at the #IETF113 due to the airstrike. Going down to the bomb shelter.

Several years into GDPR, it remains fucking bonkers in practice. Every site on the internet gets an awful pop-up that no one reads and clicks anything to make it go away as quickly as possible. It’s an idea that 100% backfired and is pointless and makes every website worse.

A small army of 3d printers???? What is this for?? So cool!!!!

I can now do a 4K stream with literally anything on screen in 4K that I want. Retina Mac resolution. Scaled-up HD-only sources. Infinite switching upon switching. Live callers. Call-in to any platform with my full arsenal behind me. It’s going to be AWESOME. And now it’s time.
