possible the shutdown is worse. if so, he should have coordinated with both house and senate reps so that they did not go out on a limb against the CR (and to present a unified message). being against it, convincing your caucus, then flipping makes no sense in almost any universe. he needs to resign

Zitron is the tech equivalent of 2009 Taibbi for finance (derogatory). he's great at turns of phrase and stoking anger but shows little to no interest in understanding anything. all heat, no light

to follow up, not just sellers, purchasers will try to front run increases in prices too (e.g. if people think cars are going up next year, they tend to purchase sooner). this causes near term price increases

More important their reputations aren't exactly inspiring personal loyalty. I expect "if you don't like it you can leave" cuts both ways with their armed guards during hard times

Her post political career has been lobbying for DraftKings and Juul. My guess is she can show her face in public by having neither a conscience nor a sense of shame

Federal anti-SLAPP law to help protect independent journalists from frivolous lawsuits some of the worst actors use. Onerous state taxes on crypto cap gains, prohibit carryover losses on crypto similar to how gambling losses are handled by some states

Find an employee (preferably a mutual friend or 2nd degree connection) and ask them to file an internal request. They get escalated far quicker than internal requests and with a much better success rate

Hope you and Bennett pushed back on Ed if he starts talking out of his depth. He's always seemed more heat than light. Things like saying AlphaFold isn't generative AI (it very much is) or Waymo doesn't use GenAI (they do in simulation/training models) on his recent OTM appearance can be grating

If I got a nickel every time I got paged when some wolf warrior was angry about the name of a rock in the South China Sea I'd have $0.15. Which isn't much but still annoying that we got the bad press every time and not the country

Fair point. Having worked on these systems I'm very salty that other critics have been slow to blame countries that threaten these companies, but quick to blame the companies/employees

Tech critics: big tech should follow the rules of the countries they operate in and not go rogue
Somehow also tech critics: big tech should ignore the rules that I personally dislike and selectively go rogue

Do you want big tech to follow local rules or don't you? In general most people advocate for the former and are upset when they do the latter
This is them *following the rules*. I agree the rules are stupid, but the whole point is that they should be following them

Google/FB/Apple have always had a process for place name changes. In Google's case for the US locale this is pulled from GNIS (run by the USGS). The problem here is that the administration can change that on a whim, not that Google is following local rules for place names
