Can’t wait. The author who shaped my career trajectory beyond interviews and the ex-Eng-manager who shaped the industry’s pov in best practices. Highly recommend this

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

Perhaps the best outcome of agents and LLMs is that teams are now more than ever betting on GitHub /Git for documentation in markdown. And I’m here for it.

"When I published The Black Swan in 2007, the U.S. accounted for about 20% of the world economy (using PPP), EUR about the same, and China around 6%. Now, the U.S. is 15% and declining, Europe is 14% and dropping faster, while China is north of 20%." substack.com/@nntaleb/p-1...

i have this utmost strong belief that the reason behind unpopularity or lack of enougb popularity for a man like john adams is due to his anti-slavery stand and practice. and same reason is behind the hatred of gandhi by those indians who dont believe in caste equality

Between the two types of comedy - (i) simply sharing memes or movie dialogues in person, and (ii) playfully teasing each other, the latter requires wit, while the former is just an overdose of copy-pasted Instagram reels.

Stablecoins will lead the way for the most efficient overseas payment systems. We just need regulations to filter legal/illegal. And for that, we should be bottom up instead of piggybacking some uninformed right wingers.

Bluesky needs to be more than just politics. Saw someone post this on Theeads and I’m afraid they’re true. Any starter packs for other stuff, like, tech, photography, wildlife?
Image of a post on Threads that shares how Bluesky generates far more anxiety by being just political and Threads provide a better experience.

And yes, I am a lawyer. And yes, I have been punished for saying the most anodyne shit. And for speaking some real truths. I get it’s scary but this is about so much more than commercial success. Folks who can’t or won’t see that scare me.

I said the same thing last week but I hoped it was just because I was more out of loop with Big Law but this ales me very afraid that I was properly reading the vibe. Marc Elias would know. Lawyers are losing what spine they had, for money. It’s very bad.

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
