Cory Booker's response speech is pretty incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4_H_KNAakE

Apparently the House is now considering a motion to censure... Padilla... Fucking Mike Johnson

DS9 "In the Pale Moonlight"

So I lied, I cheated, I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But most damning thing of all, I think I can live with it.

Brooks' delivery makes you able to buy the subversion of every moral espoused in 40 years of Star Trek. I don't know if it would land as well if you weren't already steeped in the show, but it's incredible to watch the first time if you are.

Cloudflare actually does have a way to avoid seeing these, using a zero-knowledge proof backed by a hardware security module (they call it Cloudflare Private Access Tokens). As far as I know, Apple is still the only one who's implemented it and it only works in Safari on iPhones, iPads, and M-series Macs. Maybe some day other vendors will add support too!

Of course, there are already scrapers that use arrays of real phones to do scraping/app automation, so widespread adoption of PATs would just push more traffic to be proxied through physical devices instead of headless browsers in AWS somewhere...

The Cheesecake Factory is somehow a nationwide tourist trap — go somewhere exciting and then eat at the same overpriced trash faux-destination restaurant you could've eaten at back home.

Jeff Atwood (stack overflow and discourse cofounder) seems pretty cool for someone who made a shitton of money in tech. Everyone I know who's met him says he's a nice and normal human being, and he's currently funding a UBI program as well as giving copiously to high-quality charities.

Maybe Kobo will finally make an API for loading articles so we can send them from Instapaper/Raindrop/Pinboard/etc...

Until they actually publish the policy, who knows, right? Just because that was the "high risk" list last time doesn't mean that the new FDA won't declare that the only risk factor is having a golf handicap above 3...

This appears to be the relevant place to leave feedback, FWIW. I posted a comment this morning!

I'd go farther and suggest that the causation goes the other way. People are willing to use "AI" tools only because we've already shattered the notion of objective truth. OpenAI wouldn't exist today without millions of people gleefully accepting the cry of "fake news" 9 years ago.

Artificial intelligence, perhaps humanity’s greatest monument to logical thinking

Sigh

Why wasn't there a generation between Boomers and Millenials?
