Many people look to case numbers to form opinions on risk, but wastewater can actually provide a better reflection of the COVID-19 cases than PCR testing data. This is one example from San Francisco, but we're seeing the same thing across the country. Stay safe out there! (4/4)

I like reviews where information is presented like I'm a human, not like a robot processing spreadsheets 😅

It's more fun that way 🥳

Do people (Americans) realize the next generation of high-speed rail coming to market could whisk you from the center of Chicago to the center of NYC in 2.5 hours with no airport hassle and we are literally buying highway expansions instead of this?

i became somewhat less invigorated by sentiments like "don't say 'idiot', look where it comes from" once i found out that the word "bad" basically traces back to a slur for trans women

My toxic trait is putting QR codes on random restaurant tables so people think it’s to order, but it’s actually to my portfolio

let’s name it:

that thing where the skeleton screen renders and the loading animation runs and runs and runs (indefinitely) because a JavaScript error halted the fetched data from being rendered correctly

the hardest part of software engineering is finding someone who

3. is not on PTO / sabbatical

Why isn’t the decentralized future of the web just a return to personal websites built with easy-to-use tools?

i mean your country is told what laws are by an unelected council of wizards that try to guess what the ghost of thomas jefferson really meant

im a proud tesla employee. do i work 13 hour days? yes. is my job to keep elon from biting wires? sure. do i have to bring a bucket of decoy wires to throw him off the scent of important ones? you bet. was the guy before me impaled by a forklift? legally i cant say. nevertheless,

Fireworks are a microcosm of many things in America. People decide "my fleeting enjoyment of this loud, shiny, potentially dangerous thing is more important than your combat PTSD, your fire danger, your terrified pets." Selfish isn't a strong enough word.

🇺🇸Happy July 4th to America where cops are a corrupt occupying paramilitary force with unlimited budgets, qualified immunity to break any laws they are supposed to uphold, who do more harm than good and should be abolished and the funds redirected to social support programs.

The leadership team at @MissionCloud has been discussing forming an alliance w/ other companies that care about human rights to make a dent. We don’t want to sit idly by or tell people that their only recourse is to vote.

Our industry is a superpower. Time to flex our influence!
