My SLA gets you 1 two of reliability. I'm at the office 23% of the hours a year. This is actually better than two 2's of reliability.

IDEA: Implement on hardware, an AI version of confirmation bias & rationalization. You give it answer to a math problem that you really want, & the machine spits out reams of facts to support your answer. Finally, AI that works like our own brains.
For all you youngsters out there, a ream is 500 sheets of paper. Paper is a flat, white rectangle made of trees, similar to an iPad. A tree is immobile, insentient, large creature similar to a festivus pole.

There is no account on twitter that hasn't received Ray-Ban spam, yet neither @twitter nor @Luxottica seem to do anything about it.
META: On FB, if you report an abuse or clearly spam account, they will close it & notify you. I've never seen a report of a tweet or an account on twitter do anything. I think it is a "placebo button"
IDEA: You know how there is a service to convert tweet storms into a single page by replying w/a mention? Should be one to convert a tweet to predicate calculus (i.e. turn a twitter argument into formal logic)
So, FedEx will continue their discount program for the NRA. https://x.com/FedEx/status/968238354688102400
Mac Finder defaults to attempting to a search of your entire machine and floods the search results with irrelevant garbage. You have to go into settings to undo this mess. https://x.com/mistersql/status/968215905170874368/photo/1
"Hello, our call volume is currently 4 standard deviations above the mean. This is so high, it throws into doubt our original estimates of the mean & standard deviation or the underlying distribution. A customer rep who is not empowered to do anything will speak w/you soon." https://x.com/briannoyes/status/968135387364380672
Feature idea: "disable compiler warnings" saves us time, how about "disable compiler errors" https://x.com/ExpertBeginner1/status/968174069693612034
A key holdup in the adoption of static analysis tools is how long it takes to disable every single rule. https://x.com/ExpertBeginner1/status/968174069693612034
Lesser known English words, snog, plog, doog, snig, durp over time. Each just waiting for the day to make it to the collective consciousness.

2018 - In a far distant sci-fi future where private companies are more responsive to public policy needs than the actual government. This was a trope in "Snow Crash"
What would be funny is if the corporations took over, banned guns, banned cryptocurrency, and all the other things that libertarians like.

Another example of the insurance industry doing weird pricing- they usually don't ask about your health habits outside of smoking. For me, I just got a bunch of blood work- companies like HealthIQ that use lifestyle data are something of an innovation. https://www.healthiq.com/
So, after doing due diligence, if your rates are high due to gun ownership, it is probably because of correlation with your zip code/state or what not. I imagine, insurance co's don't collect this data- which like asking people if they exercise, for health ins, people would lie. https://x.com/jndevereux/status/967523062123057158
The NRA would have to take on insurance companies next. Math, facts, numbers matter. https://x.com/jndevereux/status/967523062123057158
IDEA: Code reviews and scrum, but everyone has to talk like it is a TED talk.
That's where my son goes. They're good folk. https://x.com/Northeastern/status/967124249738731521
IDEA: "Browser default settings" except instead of modifying the OS default browser key, the browsers play "core wars" by attempting to overwrite enough of each other's binaries to disable the other browser.

Woo! MetLife is good folks again. (Good policy rates, too, they came out best when I was shopping) https://x.com/MetLife/status/967092823345516545
from pair programming to n-tuple programming. From "many eyes make all errors shallow" to "many programmers make shallow errors". https://x.com/vcsjones/status/967056791346581505
It takes more than a week to transfer $6K from one account to another with 3 support phone call with 2 companies. None of the support staff was able to actually do anything. https://x.com/mistersql/status/967052588763017216/photo/1
Google Pay (Aka Google Wallet) has got to be the worst money transfer experience I ever had. I would not trust them with my Canadian pennies. They're good at taking money, but bad at getting it back to a bank account.
For a good teacher, their students are going to be like their own kids, sometimes literally. Arming the teachers to shoot a shooter, is like asking them to stand ready to shoot one of their own temporary children. At some point the horror is parody & this policy proposal a joke
@CafeScienceUS your account has been hacked & is posting a high volume of porn.
So... sudo in RHEL/Centos will throw away your PATH
Undo this surprising behavior with

You will not be able to meet your future coworkers, *nor future supervisor* before accepting the position. The recruiter will be honestly bemused why you'd care. The hiring agent will honestly act like it is an unfair and irrelevant question. https://x.com/jesslynnrose/status/966636690902315008
I just suspect K8s in German is K40s.
Formal logic applied to real world argumentation. Let "a" be policy proposition, which is either true or false.

Therefore a is true.
You have to admit, it is very persuasive in it's formal form.
"Alexa, give me a random number!"
A: 7
"Another!"
A: 10
A: floating point number
A: Avogadro's number
A: 5
Yeah, Alexa, random number from the smart ass distribution
KATA: Write a convincing mispeller, ie. takes any word or sentence as input and generates mispelled/mistyped versions to make it look like it was typed on twitter or an email. I got the idea from :https://chatbotsmagazine.com/how-to-win-a-turing-test-the-loebner-prize-3ac2752250f1
META: 137,000 followers and you get only 0-1 likes on any of your last 10 tweets? I propose your audience is 100 * average likes on last 200 tweets.
META: Seems like we could finally see a solution to nazis-on-twitter through twitter's bankruptcy or deline into MySpace-like irrelevancy. If there was a platform like twitter but w/o nazis (and the like), would you move to it? https://x.com/efwjames/status/966026090522271744
Once bitcoin drops to it's underlying value, this app will need to say "instead of putting your money into BTC, you could have had a retirement, a family, a sense of dignity and self worth" https://x.com/istrategylabs/status/965994272972558336
This makes no sense. Analytic Philo is, like, using *logic* to assert how the world is. Continental Philo is using everything but *formal* logic, relying on big ideas like historical dialectic, "imperialism", other-"isms". I'd guess an audience of dev would be more analytical. https://x.com/mistersql/status/963407503517192193
On the otherhand, being this is DC, there is a big group of DSA folk in my feed. On the otherhand, Analytic/Continental should be a right-left split. I think what this survey is really showing, is that uni's don't teach philosophy is any functional way.
♡ 0 ↻ 0And by functional, I mean, as a way to learn formal argumentation, which is too bad, because without formal argumentation (be it analytical or continental), we are using sociology, various "cargo-cult" arguments to assert truth by authority.
♡ 0 ↻ 0(and by car-cult argumentation, I mean, when it is dress up to look like a formal argument, but it is just a social conservatives or libertarians trying to enforce their authoritarian beliefs they absorbed from the authoritarian household the grew up in)

The toothless man said, "I just don't have any apatite for food."
This is a joke that has no room for spelling errors.
I see this as good news, it should shift at least a parking lots worth of car drivers to metro/bus/bike. If he could do that for the rest of the parking lots, we'd get the political will to do a full street car system, WMATA maintenance, you name it. https://x.com/arstechnica/status/965633333257474048
This 23 and me test says it is for testing my reaction time, but actual it is a *Javascript* test. It is probably important to know how heritable bad JS as XSRF practices are. https://x.com/mistersql/status/965622425516900352/photo/1
