The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

@bcantrill.bsky.social @ahl.bsky.social Hey guys! If possible I think you should have Stephen Jones from the Interim Computer Museum on the podcast. Stephen used to work at the LCM and is continuing its legacy with the ICM. He talked about it on a recent episode of @scott.hanselman.com‘s pod.

this is a lazy old man leading lazy people. this is why they love the internet and AI. no need to learn anything. you are a quick google away from winning this argument, and the next. no need to learn how to draw just use grok. "there's a crisis in physics" -- i heard it on youtube. boneheaded

it is useful not to lose sight of how, underneath everything else, hollow all of this noise is. portland and chicago are warzones, so i am dispatching a couple hundred best buy assistant managers there to quell the insurrections. potemkin stuff, paper thin
