My friends neighbor died at age 29 while driving through rural Eastern Oregon to see Willie Nelson (age 90) at a music festival solely created for 29 year-old people to drive to and enjoy. I am thinking, once more, thinking IS the best way to travel. #MoodyBlues #MidSummer #SAD #BiPolar #wednesday #Obituary #Fate #LaForzaDelDestino #AutomotiveDeaths #Music

Hot take: using baby talk when talking to children is a form of child abuse.

I used to work at a restaurant that served these really good fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. They were made pretty regularly, so you'd never get a cookie that was more than an hour or two old. Despite this someone would inevitably ask for some fresh out of the oven. The problem with this was twofold:

1. They took nearly 15 minutes to bake, way longer than anyone was willing to wait.

2. If you know anything about baking soft chewy cookies, when they come out of the oven they are basically just molten goo, we had to wait 10 minutes before we were even allowed to take them off the pan.

So, we'd always tell people these things, and at least a couple times a week, someone would demand we do it anyway, and call the manager when we handed them a hot bag of cookie goo 15 minutes later. The restaurant eventually got rid of those cookies for something that was pre-made that tasted like Dollar Store cookies.

I thought about this a lot during the height of the Covid Pandemic, and every time a politician disagrees with a scientist about climate change. Anyway, welcome to Dollar Store Planet.

I was quoted in PC Magazine about the Zoom terms of service fiasco. In particular, I said of TOS: "There can be the lawyerly temptation to phrase them as broadly as possible to give you the most flexibility as you continue to develop your service. But the problem with trying to proactively obtain as many permissions as you can is that users may start to think you will actually use them and react to that possibility."

Unfortunately, most forms lack this option. Being able to pick "Dr" instead of choosing between the Mr/Ms/Miss/Mrs is a very good reason to get a PhD. 😁

Myślę, że to w sumie dobrze, że stała się ta sprawa z ministrem Niedzielskim. Dzięki niej może być duży efekt edukacyjny. Wielu ludzi, którzy bagatelizowali kwestię ochrony danych wrażliwych, może spojrzeć inaczej na swoje nawyki cyfrowe.

Here's your periodic reminder about how cursed Japanese wiring is.

Me: *sees the time is 3:14* hey, it's Pi-o'clock

🤔 wait, 14 minutes isn't 0.14159 of an hour 🤔
*goes to fetch Soviet-era circular slide rule because why not*

Me: ok so 3:08 would actually be Pi-o'clock, time to post this to the one server on the internet where people might care
