Seconded. Exactly how I read and interpreted. And I’m a grammar nerd.

This is a message for future me, put in for time off at least the final day of the trade deadline. #MLB #TradeDeadline

I think it helps even before. Wife is a die-hard Yankee fan, so I see a lot of their games. Not doing the little things well kills them.

And I remember that World Series. And Game 5 of last year’s. And folks wonder I stress fundamentals and development.

Just saw live footage of the Rays taking infield. I didn’t think teams did that much anymore, but it helps answer how they’re able to do so many of the little things and punch above their weight, so to speak. #MLB #TampaBayRays

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Just looked at the #SFGiants remaining schedule and it’s not going to be a pretty end to the season. Basically, it fluctuates from ass-kicking, to maybe won’t be embarrassed, to could be a decent series, to thank goodness the Rockies (and I’m not convinced that won’t implode). #MLB

That’s not what they meant when they advised to run on name recognition.

Beware the person who wants to find the negative when you're happy or proud of something. They're not trying to ground you, they're not doing you any favors, they're miserable and they're a thief of joy.

Take more care to surround yourself by those who amplify the good. ♥️

Life is short.

The stage at CBGB, New York City, July 1983

– so many careers began here.

– great concerts were the order of the day.

– East Coast punk rock had its home here.

As a cybersecurity pro with an IT background, I support trying this. Always works.

You can’t take a family of four to games anymore, they’ve made it ridiculously cost prohibitive. And a double pox on all those teams with flex pricing based on the matchup.

😞

This is one absurd trade deadline season, with a few players coming off the board for odd reasons and also late injuries. Definitely a weird one. #MLB #TradeDeadline

MLB just said in a statement that he’s on leave through August 31.

Holy.

A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating The more than one million messages obtained by 404 Media are as recent as last week, discuss incredibly sensitive topics, and make it trivial to unmask some anonymous Tea users.

New from 404 Media: a second data breach at Tea has exposed more than a million direct messages between users that we obtained. Discussions of abortions, cheating. The other data was older. This is as recent as *last week*. Hard to overstate how sensitive this data is www.404media.co/a-second-tea...

Absolutely. And I can’t imagine what would have happened if some team had just given up a shit ton of prospects to get him before the deadline

Haven’t had time to stay current with prospects and systems, but is the #SFGiants best pitching prospect really not expected to deliver an ERA under 4? Am I reading these notes correctly? #MLB #BaseballProspects

Anyone can report harassment. If you are at DEF CON and are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, you can let us know by contacting any Goon, registration desk, or info booth, as well as by calling or texting the hotline at 725-222-0934. As a reminder, you can also contact the hotline during the con if you just need someone supportive to talk to. You can also file a report year-round by contacting safety@defcon.org. We encourage individuals to report CoC violations as soon as they’re able to so we can begin our investigation before evidence is lost or destroyed, but it’s never too late to make a report.

As we approach DEF CON, this part of the Code of Conduct is especially important to share around.

maybe there's still some good left in this world after all
