Link.

Link. I suspect US flights are 2-5% active disease. Article fails to clarify PCR vs antigen and recent vs active.

Link. New Android code is 21% Rust.

Link. I’ve been looking for this but ran into a nasty design error immediately. So needs more time.

Link. “boosts seem a lot more intrusive and repetitive than retweets on Twitter”.

I think lack of Quote Tweets drives boosts and that the despised algo helps. Mastodon show everyone’s boost. I boost rarely.

Link. Good to know the options.

Link. Includes TaxAct, TaxSlayer, and H&R Block. It’s not clear if either Facebook or the tax companies fully understood how this worked. A side-effect of Facebook Pixel code.

Link. Against Google hegemony. But it’s hard. Terrific history in this blog post.

Link. Fairly standard attack but well executed. Most people would get hacked.

Link. “a combination of journalistic cowardice, inertia and calculation, business as usual prevailed.”

Musk owns American journalism now.

Link. Welcome to the AI era.

Link. Apple likes it that way. Maybe fewer support calls.

Link. If I were a devoted Tesla investor I’d sell now and buy in 6m or so. Price has a long way to fall. (I’m not buying Tesla at any price.)

Link. Murdoch will choose the speaker. Who will obey Murdoch.

Link. Kind of like Flash if it were never patched.

Link. Don’t worry, the paper is flawed.

Link. “[Viruses are] made up of really good stuff: nucleic acids, a lot of nitrogen and phosphorous,”

Link. I love her writing. She knows of, course, that neither were religious men.

Link. Laura Jedeed has a big one in The New Republic. “No one will force you to be a Christian in Rick Green’s America. But you will largely need to live like one.”

Link. Persuasive. “US military aid to Ukraine so far is less than the annual cost of its long war in Iraq, and about one-tenth of the current US defence budget. This is the best bargain in American military history.”

Link. This is a good K article. (Free at this link)

Link. Kids back in school? Carjacking numbers and gunshot numbers insane. We need years of much greater declines.

Link. I’ve seen that! Is so funny. I don’t mind the bold UIs, some are better than current fashions.

Link. I saw one that wasn’t bad very early on but then lost interest. The style annoyed.

Link. I didn’t know of the diastole timing. “Precordial thump” was an old and ineffective approach to cardiac arrest.

Link. He say most of us can. For now.

Link. So long ago, so near at hand. Via a Mastodon post. Obsidian Wings is and was a multi-author blog. Still active, still old school.

Link. Excellent overview from Ars Technica. ActivityPub fediverse includes Mastodon.

Link. The gap between 20/h and 80/h. Biden hasn’t forgotten the non-college.

Link. Some reports of bugs however.

Link. Wait until BYD starts exporting. Tesla shares have further to fall.

Link. The only sane GOP rep in contention for speaker.

Link. Public displays of guns is mostly being an asshole. In this case “Mr. Marley was homeless and did not have family or friends to stay with”. Sounds schizophrenic. There’s a good chance had he not been arrested there would have been shooting.

Link. ” … will require that the true, human owners of companies formed in the U.S. disclose their identities at the point of formation and upon any change—effectively banning anonymous shell companies.”

Wow. That’s a BFD. Ironic that Congressed passed a major anti-corruption measure by hiding it out of sight. (via mastodon)

Link. Ok, so the App Store isn’t all bad.

Link. “as of January ’22, my Mastodon account now has a higher joy-to-anguish ratio than my Twitter feed”

Musk is building a better future. By setting fire to Twitter (and Tesla).

Link. Great reference. The complexity of an APFS SSD is staggering. (But still nothing compared to complexity of a eukaryotic cell.)

Link. Is inflation necessary to reduce income inequality? Noah doesn’t go there.

Link. Dyer overstates. Most intelligent observers expected a cesspool.

Link. To know a people look at their prisons. The prisoners were punished for speaking with the WaPo reporter and the warden lied about it.

Link. Other years he had donations, maybe including his salary. Or, more likely, not.

Link. Wotshisname pardoned his henchmen. Biden’s pardons are different.

Link. I had no idea who he was. Useful orientation.

Link. It’s hard to infect a fully updated Mac.

Link. Often with limited but critical GOP support.

Link. Multiple instances has consequences.

Link. Her fans wish she’d dial it back a bit.

Link. Ventura is a bug-fest. I’ll consider upgrade next spring.
