I’m on a dill pickle crinkle-cut chips bender.

Wow, we have a LOT of endorsed candidates this year! 35 to be exact, plus 2 initiative campaigns: @no645.bsky.social & @nohateinwastate.bsky.social That number is high because there are so many races this year where we can flip a GOP seat blue or replace a conservative dem with a progressive!

I see this among lawyers, even. Younger but still seasoned litigators who can’t negotiate with irrational but perfectly predictable actors, or transactional folks who can’t infer their negotiating position from context.

It’s not just an inability to draw an inference or read between the lines. I think people are losing the ability to think critically and entertain a hypothetical. Along with that, the ability to empathize, or to understand and anticipate someone else’s behavior.

That acronym is a choice.

Not that I’m a fan personally of algorithmic pricing, but has nobody heard of a trade secret? Patents are a disclosure and a patent case in this field is a public slap-fight over who was more exploitative first.

The surge in patent applications for surveillance pricing technology makes me wonder - in what market do companies think they are going to enforce patent rights to techniques that are so incredibly unpopular without costing themselves more in customer loss and goodwill than they can gain?

It’s not the worst revelation by a mile but it hits hard for me to read that the head legal partner to HR was himself an office predator. I also can’t get over the brutal executive turf wars, management and office politics that seem to override the whole point of being there.

I picked up “Careless People” and the new “Don’t Be Evil” at airports and I’m in the middle of an absolute binge. In the latter and can’t put it down. There’s a generation of literature from survivors of big tech, especially women, coming out now. Each story is unique but similar and horrifying.

Because if you can’t win elections by making life better for your constituents, (as Democrats, especially progressives Democrats do,) then your recourse is only to make the good-doers into the scapegoats for every possible source of discontent.

There was a very real and very documented effort by the far-right to encapsulate all of Democrats’ awareness of and efforts against systemic injustice, scientific illiteracy, and abuse as “Woke” and to make it a pejorative for no other reason than to sabotage progressive politics.

My dude, this is the kind of nerd shit I live for. Happy to help.

They’re nitrogen fixers and they’re prolific. Probably better than potatoes. You can grow them in hydroponics with a non-soil substrate. And they look weird as hell.

You need almost a foot of depth, loose soil, and good drainage. Moderate water, couple inches a week. Space apart, not as important. But they take a while. Best to start early in the year.

The folks there now, with what appears to be their complete lack of editorial freedom from ownership, are too nose-blind to smell bullshit or to ask a hard question of their ordained candidate(s). The Stranger was already dead to me for their union-busting layoff but now they’re useless too.

Rich and Will knew how to interview, how to run endorsements, and would confront and ask tough questions of candidates reflecting research and understanding. Bias shmias, they were after blood and truth and they got yelled at and did it anyway.

I read the whole thing and came back up to comment. You’re right. Ashley and Hannah know how to do investigative journalism. They (used to, presumably still do) annoy the fuck out of officials by digging and using the sunshine law and not taking anything at face value.

I don’t see a fundamental shift since I was prosecuting ML cases ten years ago, and the fundamental disconnect is the same as so many of the invalid early computer patents. Applying a black box to a conventional problem isn’t patent eligible subject-matter whether it’s AI or a processor generally.

The sole recourse if you think a sign isn’t legal (unless it’s on or abutting your own property) is to report it to local code enforcement. The removal of signage in a yard or public right of way is a misdemeanor, whether you think it’s legally placed or not, under either RCW 29a.84.040 or theft 3.

LOL. You seem real unsure whether your gal did the crime, but committed to not caring either way. Looks like everyone but Pollet misjudged the 46th. Dreher won’t pick up any of Davis’ support, so this election is as good as over.
