Woah slow down I'm taking notes

- It would require restructuring of the Federal and State governments. - Existing politicians and economic winners depend on maintaining the status quo under their control, to preserve their wealth and power. Any fix ignoring 1 empowers 2, any fix resolving 2 requires 1.

What's truly deranged to me about this level of greed is that the wealthy could be significantly wealthier everyone else were wealthier too. You can't have spaceships when everyone else is a peasant. They're optimizing for local maxima while preventing society from reaching the next inflection.

Why is an auto repair shop sending me "we miss you" emails? Do you think I get my car fixed because I think you guys are cool and love hanging out with you? Why is marketing so effing weird and needy? Know your role or lose the business.

Just give 'em a chance Robert, they can do worse. What do you expect from an industry founded by a securities fraud felon, Michael Milken, designed to enable him to commit fraud legally?

For a year and a half, we’ve been subject to the daily onslaught of Trump and his cruel, corrupt, and incompetent second regime. My question to you now, in the middle of the summer of our discontent, is what strategies you’re using to cope with this horror.

A man buys a paper, looks at the front page and throws it away. Every day he does the same thing. The newsman asks, "You buy a paper every day, look at the front page, and throw it out?" "I'm checking for an obituary." "Obituaries aren't on the front page!" "The one I'm waiting for will be."

Oh yes, that's the problem - that political parties don't have enough power over election spending. Right. Just what we need - more political party control over elections. Great.

I got banned from reddit for saying "White supremacists are weird insecure losers." They called it "hate speech against a protected group" and refused to unban me. Is it reddit policy to protect and support white supremacy? www.reddit.com/user/Tim-Syl...

Data centers in space is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard out of fElon - and he's full of really incompetent ideas. They fail every single test of a data center: - Power - Cooling - Upgrades - High speed, low latency I/O You couldn't pick a worse location for a data center if you tried.

Remember when "new" implicitly meant "and better"? "Check out my new phone | car | computer | appliance!" Now you have to include "... it's ok, but..." "the controls are touch instead of buttons..." "it's mostly plastic..." "it's subscription-gated..." "it's not real chocolate..."

I think Anthropic rushed Opus 4.8 because of how poorly 4.7 was received. 4.7's MO was "let me do a crappy job quickly, over and over". I've only been using 4.8 for like an hour and it's already clearly better than 4.7, which was a huge step down from 4.5/4.6.

That implicit assumption is what I'm poking at. Google is the world's largest ad platform - why isn't their primary communication method also the world's best-integrated marketing platform? I get that your team is monetizing the gap, but IMO the fact it even exists is an inexplicable blindspot.

One of Google's primary ways to present itself to the world and they've done nothing material to it for decades. It's central to GfB. Where is their CRM? Email campaign management? Integration with Ads? Now they're removing multi-inbox? Really? It's incredible how under developed Gmail is.

That my corn tortillas assure me they're "made with real corn" raises more questions than it answers. I never once doubted it until they brought it up. Now I wonder why they feel the need to say it.

Recently I spent an entire morning trying to correct an error in the application I’m building. After hours of trying, I figured out what was wrong and corrected it. I ran the tests again — and hit a different error. It wasn’t resolution, it was progress. medium.com/p/e6654d0f8290
