Sure, and history deals the cards we're given and so on and so forth. Why don't we have referendums on keeping the US Constitution every year? That would be democratic as hell.

That is the way to do it. And IMO it should extend to all business communication. I hate getting "hey" in my DMs with no other context. Like...."hey? whats up?". Just get to the point, the day is too busy for this.

Also a great question that no one really has an answer to.

I read the news and make my own judgements based on events. I can read how the president has said we have reached a deal and threaten to destroy Iran over breaking the deal over the course of a day. And he's done that many times over i

I always felt the implication of power was a lot more valuable to US interests than exercising it, cheaper too for that matter. And even very recent history revealed that with the greatest military strength ever seen, the US cannot achieve

I have a really tough time looking at the current situation and not seeing the USA knocked down at least several pegs. In regard to China, my read is they are gaining more power from this episode and allowing the US step on rakes than they

I don't think that was my impression, but their API is pretty open for creating plugins. In support of the Obsidian model, its a dedicated engineering team, a free tool, notes are stored as .md and not something proprietary, and if you

I just read this a few months ago and it was my first thought as well! Like Flowers for Algernon taken to its extremes.

People in the US have been bemoaning the ceding of power of Congress to the Executive branch for a long time. I think what's happening now is validating that rights laws are all subject to the whims of the people in power. There is not

I'm thinking about how I jumped on getting a new PC a little over a year ago anticipating tariffs would balloon prices. Turns out I made the right choice but for the wrong reasons (not like the tariffs are helping either, but just wasn

This is way outside of my area of expertise, but I thought US export oil was not fungible with what we consume.

This is all still really early stuff, but there was a blog yesterday that got me thinking we need a way to send telemetry data for work being done by agents out to a central agent the org controls. It would be responsible for creating skill

I think the value is in not having to mess with scammers and people who make eBay difficult to interact with (i.e. those who game the system).

Not to be harsh on people who like this stuff, but reminds me of whenever people bring up how big vinyl record sales are now. Which is like, yea they're "big" just because it was a tiny market for the last decade and they&#x2

I interviewed at a place that had their own collectible card market, I think they partnered with eBay. But the whole service was that you would yield your valuable cards over to them and they would store them in a repurposed bank vault for

I know I interact with people on the daily with my remote job, but would love to know if that's potentially an issue too. Decent reason to get back in the office. I also miss my daily office bike rides to a certain extent, at least it

Yea I mean the first reaction I had to the blog was "yes, but have you met the same designers I have?" And to be clear I've worked with great designers who understood their limitations and blind spots, but its pretty common t

Another pretty bad trend I see is designers who don't make pragmatic tradeoffs for the underlying technology. Not incorporating reusable components, not considering rendering times, not considering the design language already establish

Its probably easier these days for a customer to fight the checkout price than it would be for the store to implement surge pricing or whatever they want to do. Just take a timestamped photo of the price when you pluck the product off the s

Well this is one of the most adorable things I've seen in a while. Thank you for sharing a little joy. So many little details I love, falling off the waterfall, the cursor size fading into the background, the flashlight in the cave. Ha

I'm a little sad to see this because I'm moving northward to Seattle next month, I've lived in Portland proper for over 16 years, and Seattle doesn't have Waymo yet. Great timing lol. Portland will probably be a great te

Kind of just an unstructured meditation routine no? And I should really meditate more.

This is me, I think it comes from a personality of wanting to make sure I say something but generally trusting that the author has more context than I do. I float questions and nits but generally will approve if I don't see anything gl

Totally agreed, but it always comes back to managing the average over the best. It is a lot more effective to enforce a culture of approvals than a culture of collaboration. Managers should be striving for the later, but not every team is b

Really disheartening to see this and it brings up so many thoughts and feelings I have over the current state of the US, politically, popularly, and how everyone is thinking about morality personally. If this had happened during, say, the O

Exactly, the data backs up the cultural bias happening in these regions. Its not a matter of population density or cost/benefit, but a matter of virtue signaling (or lack of virtue signaling?). I think if people were making rational co
