Has a β€œbuild it and they will come” worked in the past? Consider virtual reality, smart homes, and other highly-touted tech that has drawn attention and investment, but hasn’t reached ubiquity or mass adoption. At some point someone needs to buy something.

Same.
My most memorable experience on a packed Tokyo train was during rush hour, in the summer!
The heat and humidity make it all so special.

Years ago, there were tools for Twitter that helped to spot bots. I wonder if such tools are available for BlueSky?

Those are great tips to spot bots, and I’ve taken a similar approach.

Sometimes I wait a week or so in case they’re just new to BlueSky and haven’t yet started posting.

Wait! You mean saying β€œhey Meta, start Live AI” into a room of glassholes will activate all of them??

Seems like a bozo flaw.

In San Diego, it’s good that groups like the Community Resource Center and One Safe Place do so much to help with domestic violence. However, they need support now more than ever.

I’ve enjoyed and respected Pew Research results for many years, but I’m puzzled by this simple chart. It doesn’t seem to address that while Fox News reporters may find it difficult to remain objective, reporters viewed by those listening to more moderate outlets rate those as being objective.

Years ago I had a dinner in the Sentosa Aquarium in Singapore. The tables were set in the shark tank, so we were surrounded by glass and hungry looking sharks, able to swim under, over, and next to us.
We were told the sharks were hungering for our fish dinner. I’m not so sure.

I’ve found myself tortured by the classic book β€œOn Writing Well” by William Zinsser. How could less be more? (It is)

β€œbreaking” as in breaking trust, breaking accountability, breaking the economy

Some deride p-hacking while others ennoble the art of connecting the dots into a story.
