my wife is a Cal fan and apparently this week they’re putting a “59” on their football helmets to honor the 59 Nobel laureates tied to Cal in order to flex on Duke
this is maybe my favorite dunk anyone has ever done on Duke

Moving the team to the “perverse bonbon” methodology just because I like the name
I'll accept substituting "develop" with "design" but in the order of the steps Figma's video proposes, you get some kind of perverse bonbon wrapper shape
at least, assuming "disrupt" is a divergence stage because it fits the cadence of the diagram, because otherwise it carries no semantic value

Headcannon birth of the first order: Dedra Meero spends 3 years in prison on a work crew building parts for Death Star II. She becomes a crew (later floor) leader. After the Emperor dies she is released in a general amnesty for political prisoners—after all, she was jailed for being a rebel spy.

Inverse correlation? So everything is fine as is?

I got to play this and I’m pleased to report that your game character appears to shoot enemies with, what else, finger guns.
It feels subversive and wonderfully stupid that at a conference filled with expensive tech and AI blockchain crap, we are showing off the 30-year-old California Raisins video game

The acronym to learn is EDI — electronic data interchange. This is a 70s technology where you hand an agency a file of a particular (binary) format that says “send money from here to there”. These files were sent via X.100 networks, direct dial up, later email and ftp.
This is a good thread on why Trump is abiding by some orders but not others. I've had the same suspicion re: USAID: that the DOGE boys broke it and are stalling to fix it.
That said, there's one type of court order being ignored that I find interesting, and that's the payment stuff. Elons all defensive about it, lots of payments appear to be.. well, broken.
In other words: I am starting to wonder if the government -can't- pay USAID/NIH contractors, etc.
