So...um... you named your company after a character who pretty famously missed two people sneaking into his home despite having an extensive security system. A system which included 24/7 monitoring and active military personnel.

The reverse correlation of how mgmt thinks of people vs tech amazes me. The tech can make a ton of mistakes, but that's OK, it will magically get better someday. To hire a person they must prove they have solved your exact problem before and 100% guaranteed to be successful on day one.

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire. It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Zohran Mamdani being *more* popular among NYC Jews than among NYC voters as a whole is a wild fact, and completely belies much of the national narrative surrounding his candidacy. The people in the national media who talk a lot about antisemitism are often not listening to actual Jews.

Glad to see we’re addressing the root cause of all of this: Luther’s heresy
A screen cap of an article hed with a photo of a chef in a stainless steel kitchen, peaking potatoes. There are 6 additional chefs working in the background.

The headline is “Diet of Worms will help us survive climate change, say top chefs”.

The post is a play on the famous Edict of Worms, issued by the Diet of Worms, which condemned Martin Luther as a heretic.
