cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 15hSame. I guess you could do this with a Mac mini or studio, but I don’t have time to get it all set up (or the cash!) 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 17hAirPort could have been dominating home automation with a plug and play NAS that served streaming and iCloud content. Would have also been the perfect AI control center. Made sense to drop it at the time, but I’ve yearned for a time capsule replacement for years. 100
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 17hIf Apple wants to show improvement in AI capabilities they should first make their spell check able to perform as well as word perfect did in 1997. 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 17hI did this same investigation a few months ago (I’m in woolen mills) and I’m 99% sure it’s these sawdust things. I was on Carlton when they were running once and the sound matched, just louder. 010
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 19hAnyway just my ramblings. To the extent this is true, it’s an argument in favor of middlemen who can bare more of the cost of fluctuating markets. Cost plus is not a good way to run a retail business for a commodity good. 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 19hEven when egg prices were rising and it was all over the news, the retail price wasn’t changing by pennies multiple times per day. So consumers observe a smoother change that may seem less drastic. 110
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 19hI can’t think of any other good where the retail price reflects the price on the commodity market so closely. The price of some foods fluctuates just as much but the higher margins, even on produce, help mask the movements. 100
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 19hAnchoring seems to be especially strong with gas. Some of it is car brain of course, but seeing the price displayed so prominently on every road even when you aren’t shopping for it doesn’t help. That the retail price fluctuates so much exacerbates this. 110
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I wish I’d know he was there. I’d have riden my bike over to yell at him about blocking the bike lane. 040
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Ahh yeah. It’s been set up for so long I forget which program owns it. Apple has been really bad integrating all these services. 010
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I’m not sure if it’s from Apple password or wallet or safari but I get credit card auto fill on both macOS and iOS. 120
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Obviously trump is deranged with this, but it’s also pretty sad that these could be wars happening at any time in the last like 500 years (except Israel -hamas). Ancient conflicts are hard to resolve 010
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My pet theory is that Gen X actually drives this. They got hit by multiple financial setbacks backs during prime earning years (dot com, housing, covid) and were most in power on the business side of media when this feeling started. 010
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I am very against rent control, but agree zoning or supply restrictions have more of an impact. Also that if you are going to have controls, limits on rent increases are better than a cap on total rent. 010
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Of course adding copious amounts of new supply is the best route and with enough extra supply the controls may become almost never necessary. 110
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You could also maintain control for certain groups (seniors, households under certain incomes, etc) for much long assuming those are groups that will be most hurt. 110
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think the way to do it is to remove the controls for new construction or when an apartment changes hands or establish a date in the medium future where controls will be phased out so supply can be built. 210
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I use Claude every day for work and am unusually polite to it - saying please, asking instead of demanding, saying thank you when it finishes something. I sometimes feel foolish but I’d rather feel foolish than cruel. 110
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yep. Not even $2/hr. Parking for concerts or sports is usually much more than this. 070
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’d love to get a peak at their financials. They must do amazing business. Almost always a line. And the coffee is great too! 100
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I wish every road started as one lane at 15/20 and then needed justification to be bigger/faster along with the ped/cycling infrastructure to keep it safe. Seems like it’s the other way around most of the time. 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The higher grounds location in the hospital is the best run coffee shop in Cville by far. They are a machine. 320
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I do think lots of businesses are missing out by not having these kinds of spaces. A very average brewery near me has a fenced in play ground that is probably the only thing keeping them in business. 110
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I remember doing that at stores while my mom shopped. Probably watched “who framed Roger rabbit” a dozen times that way. Assume there would be a huge liability risk for that these days not to mention lost revenue generating floor space. 110
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Also, gotta change CAFE and similar regs to remove the incentives for cars to get bigger. 180
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Their attention to UX has gone in the trash the past 10 years. I’d say it’s because they moved all the top talent to chip design but not much over lap in chip engineers and UX engineers… 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Totally fair. I am too young to remember her back then. I only know her from after she broke from her church on many issues. 110
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think you’re right. The Chinese manufacturers are at least 5 years ahead on this stuff and way more willing to experiment. Would love to see them in the US. 010
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think winter performance has improved all around for EVs recently. At least I don’t hear it mentioned like I did 5-10 years ago. Heat pumps, battery pre-conditioning, and other advances have helped reduce the impact cold weather has. 120
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah they have bigger SUVs. Similar in size to telluride/palisade/pilot. The Chinese love big SUVs and trucks as much as we do. 1351
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Tammy Faye? Didn’t she become a big advocate for AIDS and LGBT issues around the time Jim went to prison and they divorced? 100
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You just don’t have the talent to understand political philosophy 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I love egg and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel so I support this. Everything should mean everything! 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I interned at a trade group for fuel cells and hydrogen energy. Pennies of funding and we barely had a website. Yet every week we got calls from cranks talking about their infinite energy machines or oil industry conspiracies. One talked at me for so long he fell asleep on the phone! 020
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 04/10/2026On Twitter you are two replies away from pornography or genocide over racism at all times. Sometime you even find them in the same post! 010
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Crazy that in 2026, there is enough money in mason jars to sponsor an NBA arena. 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Probably there during novas ncaa championships. Should know a bit about this… 101
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Hasn’t NASA been hinting at developing an SR-72 or equivalent recently possibly as an unmanned craft? Maybe this is related but seems unnecessary. 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I am more embarrassed by the surface lots downtown than the dewberry. That’s prime real estate doing nothing! 040
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yep definitely. I’ve thought the exact same about 5th and Preston. 000
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Whenever some says there is no where to build more housing in Charlottesville I think of the dozens (hundreds?) of lots like this everywhere in the city especially downtown. 2140
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Looks to be about half an acre? That’s quite a price to pay for a lot that size 030
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Heard the last 30 seconds on the radio a few weeks back. Learning it’s some record setting cultural force put my brain in some kind of reboot mode. I could not square it. 010
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Just shit your pants like Thomas Jefferson intended, Matt! 020
cwcox.bsky.social @cwcox.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Or Saturdays when lots of students and visitors are here for football. It would be so amazing to walk from IX farmers market through downtown to the corner all car free. 020
