What is something you have, with no sentimental value, where you have researched the alternatives, which you would never trade for literally anything else of any price?

Remember, there’s infrastructure, and then there’s Dutch infrastructure.

It's the seasteading or Mars expedition-ing of the web. Abandoning the Earth project instead of making it work well. There's still so much we can do.

Web3 chuckleheads (sorry) want to invent a whole new "web" when we haven't even finished making today's web work for everyday people.

I taught a class today to a room of artists about how websites work, and how to make one. It restored my faith in the open web, because everyone instantly got it.

Pumpkin Patch Ride was pretty much the best day ever 🎃 rode over St. John’s & Sauvie Island Bridge twice, hung w a lovely bikey crew & biked home a pumpkin 🧡 thanks so much to @anomalily for leading this really fun ride!

Interviewed a full stack developer and he couldn’t even write a program to detect if another program would ever halt or not. I mean come on. He’s so dependent on running the program and seeing if it halts, he was totally lost without it

Reminder that you should own & host your content (if you can) - even if you use socials to amplify it, social media shouldn't be where it lives - Twitter, Instagram, etc are ephemeral and so incredibly short form and gets swept away in a raging river of content.

I've worked on a number of high-profile failures:

- Lytro lightfield cameras
- Google Glass head-mounted computer
- Google Clips automatic photographer

They all had a fatal flaw. Everyone saw the flaw. But the culture that arose in these teams purposefully ignored the flaw. 1/n

Every day I log onto this website, see four of the strangest sentences ever written, and then go about my day. The long term effects of this on the human brain are unknown.

This will be a thread discussing a real world breach involving a drone delivered exploit system that occurred this summer

Some details I am not able to discuss, however for the blue teams & red teams out there I hope this provides a good measure of capability.

I took a Covid test for exactly this reason a few days ago (negative).

I’ve been thinking this recently too! Horrible air quality is… horrible.

Did a ton of COVID tests out here in Seattle, as my family has been really off. Guess I’m glad to know it’s not just us?
