If Democrats are on the list…lock them up and throw away the key. If Republicans are on the list…lock them up and throw away the key. Seems simple enough.

Even if there was some type of smoking gun, up to and including videos and photos, will still not be accepted by the cult

Fully agree. And never assume that 'this is the way i would do it' is the same as 'this is how the consumer would do it'

As I always tell folks, "Don't give readers an excuse to not to read your document. There are no awards for deliberate complexity."

Exactly, and you need to design it for how people would look for information, hence to your point, information architecture. That also requires actually talking to the consumers of the information, understand how they look at the information and how they would go about looking for it

Yeah, nobody will find your docs 5 folders down in the sub-basement of your SharePoint site especially if the site search tool isn’t well maintained.

Nice! I still have the book but bought a better steel. Still cook pizza how I learned to tho. And I still use the same roller cutter I got that night - 'gangster style' every time! 😂

And 'choose you own adventure' dinner w/ Pizza & Ice Cream Sundae is a HUGE hit with the fam, esp. little kids! 🙏

I still have my pizza book they gave us and used the recipe a few months ago!

So. Much. FUN!!! Still plotting to do it again sometime. Big smill on my face to see those photos again.

I do as well as the pizza cutter lol. Great times. I miss the CloudExpo crowd

Listening to a speaker... "We had issues with JSON, so we switched to simpler YAML config files." If you've got major issues with supporting JSON as a config file format, you probably have bigger issues than #JSON. 🤔

Elon Musk says Tesla robots can prevent future crime Elon Musk said that Tesla's Optimus robots could follow people around and stop them from committing crimes.

Lets start with simple questions and math
- Who pays for them? There are roughly 19M felons in the US, each Robot costs $30K, so $570T
- Does a robot just stop the felon or any crime they see being committed? Is there liability if they don't
- Storage/Charging

Also banning THCA and going back 30 years in the failed war on drugs. Sneaky provisions they never talkef about, just kept pushing the 'clean CR' lie.

So Trump says he has to “bring in” foreign talent because American workers don’t have it. I also notice he says “No YOU don’t have it, instead of WE, Americas President is a literal foreign agent

Lawmakers warn Democratic governors that states are sharing drivers' data with ICE | TechCrunch A group of Democratic lawmakers asked governors in California, Colorado, and other states to block ICE from accessing their residents’ driver’s license data without their knowledge.

NEW: A group of Senators and Congresspeople are warning Governors that their states are providing ICE “with frictionless, self-service access to the personal data of all of your residents.”

The data sharing is managed by a nonprofit called Nlets, which is managed by state police agencies.

It is a strange read with not a lot of new insights. AI consumes gobs more server resources. Server resources consumes gobs of electricity, water, and real estate. Also found strange calling out government data centers and security, like that has always been the case, nothing new there

The future of data centers | Brookings Nicol Turner Lee and Darrell West discuss various considerations around data centers, including energy, workforce, and climate implications.

Some interesting points here, but this reads like it was written by #AI in a lot of ways. Strange word choices, strange jargon choices, misleading examples, and the works make it a pretty painful read. A useful primer? Maybe look elsewhere... ☹️

Pay to play, but its okay now, because they do it blatantly out in the open

Worse, the fascist Republican regime sent this great American manufacturing innovator bankrupt with ego-pandering, business-killing tariffs.

Guess they didn't give Agent Kraznov a gold bar, buy any corrupt crypto, or siphon secret cash into the Epstein Ballroom.

🤬

We (US govts) bail out car manufacturers to the tune of billions of dollars in taxpayer money, give billions more taxpayer money to line the pockets of one specific EV oligarch, but looks like we will let one of the most important e-bike innovators go broke.

I'll believe it when I see it

Correction, they did get something extra. A hidden amendment that lets GOP congress members to sue the government for $500,000 for looking at their phones for Jan 6. So much winning

Reaching across the aisle implies negotiation, both sides give a little to get a little. They got nothing. This was bending the knee, not reaching across the aisle
