Austin didn't "fire all the cops." What happened was messier. After 2020, the city council cut about a third of the police budget and paused new cadet classes. At the same time, hundreds of officers retired early or left for

Not funny -- terrifying. In Texas, traffic cameras that automatically issue tickets are illegal. Courts ruled they violate the constitutional right to face your accuser. And look, that's how it should be. And I certainly don't wan

I take a strange comfort in still spotting AI typos. Makes it obvious their shiny new "toy" isn't ready to replace professionals. They talk about using this to help families facing a cancer diagnosis -- literal life or death!

Posts like "I'm leaving Facebook forever!", "Netflix has ads now!", or "Twitter is ruined!" always come off as angsty and self-important. This one's no different. I didn't even know Copilot was t

What do you call two lying executives in minimum security prison? A good start. So the solution to all of this is to lock up more executives who commit fraud or lie to the public. Recently (after a 10 year battle) two former Volkswagen exec

Musk pulled the same stunt with vendors after buying Twitter. The news is full of stories about him settling cases because his actions were either illegal or in breach of contracts. He comes across as supremely arrogant—someone who refuses

Where should "Jarvis" live -- in the OS, not the browser? I guess that makes sense. I just want to get to the point where I can say: "Siri, draft an email response to my boss..." or "Siri, monitor all my Slack and T

Man, I hate when companies do this kind of thing. Also... Man, I really hate checking into a hotel room and getting hit with that unmistakable “someone vaped in here” smell. It was so nice traveling in parts of Asia where vaping is banned.

Firefox should ship with a local AI agent that can browse, summarize, and act on the web — entirely on-device. I don’t want to send my searches through Google or OpenAI just to get basic tasks done. Give me a sandboxed local model that can:

Discord recently started using a fake loading screen if you have an ad blocker enabled. What’s hilarious (and a little infuriating) is that the app is still obviously working under the hood — you can literally see masked text updating in re

I really can’t stand these augmented-voice videos. I get that they’re meant to sound polished or stylized, but to me it just comes off as creepy and distracting. Whatever processing or autotune effect they’re using strips the humanity out o

Keep playing it forward. As we grow in our careers, the most lasting impact often comes not from what we do ourselves, but from how we help others grow. We all remember the mentors who gave us their time — now it’s our turn to be that perso

Feedback loops are critical. The faster you get real user feedback, the better. Decades ago, that meant coding first -- which sucked. So we evolved. Wireframes, pixel-perfect designs, clickable prototypes -- tightening the loop and cutting
