What if Max Brooks’ _Devolution_ is the sequel to Ayn Rand’s _Atlas Shrugged_?

Osama Bin Laden won, if you ask me. He destroyed America and made us something else, weak and afraid.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

It’s NEVER that simple.

Working systems are usually fine, and the details that a working system handles correctly are hard to quantify.

The new team will ALWAYS miss small things (or assume they are mistakes).

I hope there are very good backups.

But, this is what software engineers default to. Existing systems are antiquated and must be replaced. The last team was know-nothing and caused <insert problem>. Always.

Show your tech to a consulting firm. That’s what they will say. Always.

There is no responsible software engineer who could document & scope the existing system and its interconnects and APIs in months, much less replace a hardened, tested, proven, functional system in a β€œnew” language.

It seems to me that Elon Musk wants to be Vilos Cohagen. That’s not a job I have really ever considered.

Sorkin was prescient in the 90s and early 00s. I’m tired of drinking sand.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. β€œWhat can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

They aren’t doing anything that the rest of the party isn’t complicit in. It’s a rare Democrat who will fight for anything.

Thought: Trump isn’t the problem. He is the only elected person with the stones to fight. If you won’t fight for anything, and you demonstrate that your principles aren’t real, then why should anyone support you. You lose every fight. Democrats let Trump.

Unbelievable news.

Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers.

New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three yearsβ€”far, far better than standard of care.

House Budget Would Increase Costs and Hardship for Many While Providing Huge Tax Breaks for a Wealthy Few | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities The House Republican budget passed today calls for massive cuts in health coverage, food assistance, and help paying for college, among some other areas, to pay for huge tax giveaways for wealthy...

They did it. They passed the House budget. Boebert and Evans both voted YES. They voted to make lives harder for huge numbers of constituents - the poor on medicaid, and farmers counting on selling to SNAP recipients. #copolitics #co-08 #co-04 www.cbpp.org/press/statem...

This is pretty disturbing, and while I would like to say surprising, I’m pretty sure we have had all the signs pointing to this. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

I’m not a fan of what Musk/Trump is doing, but the TSA is security theater, and it would be fine with me to see it go.

Securing cabins on planes made us more secure. Taking off our shoes does nothing (as is evidenced by the fact that you can simply pay to keep them on).
