YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

A must-watch talk from @scott.hanselman.com. Scott and I are of the same vintage, and I am embarrassed (mortified!) by how revolting some of our generational peers have become. Technology still has a unique power to improve our lives, but wow, do we ever have work to do. youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg?...

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys.

This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

Well, same. Only one way to find out I suppose!

Never. We make it our business not to know yours. That's our whole deal ❤️

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

wow I’ve just finished binging Pantheon, both seasons, and it’s SO much better than it has any right to be.

Completely different themes, but somehow reminded me of watching RahXephon as a teenager. Hard to explain. 🤷‍♂️

Extraordinary moment in France. Parliament has just voted down Michel Barnier’s government, thanks to the left and Le Pen’s far right voting together. It’s the first time parliament has overthrown a 🇫🇷 government since 1962

By "popular" demand 😅 I've rewritten the demo of my "The Soul of Erlang and Elixir" talk. The code now uses the latest Erlang, Elixir, & Phoenix. It is also licensed (MIT), so you can freely use it in your own demos, or for any other purposes. Enjoy!
