As a card-carrying old lady yelling at clouds on the topic of public wi-fi (and not scaring people about it), excited to see it at the top of this very good list.
As a security person, I SO appreciate great bits like this open letter around bad security advice ( www.hacklore.org/letter), especially given that it's got reputable people like @leak.bsky.social signed on.
I agree that outdated advice and half-truths are just as bad as giving wrong advice.

Anytime NYC DOT cancels a bike lane from now, on the 1st question out of reporters should be "How much did you get bribed?"
The effort to redesign McGuinness Blvd. was jump started in 2021 after a beloved local teacher was killed there by a hit-and-run driver. But that seemed to matter less to former mayoral aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin, who stopped the safety plan in exchange for money and a TV cameo. buff.ly/GDuiJLf

Two members of a powerful Brooklyn theatrical production family bribed Mayor Adams's chief adviser to block the safety redesign of McGuinness Boulevard, court papers show.

RCV has led to a positive, substantive campaign with Lander and Mamdani acting as if they're in a buddy comedy about who loves New York more and Mamadani encouraging his supporters to donate to A. Adams. And then there's Cuomo, set apart from it all, fear mongering about a city in decline.
Cuomo's absence is so glaring and telling. He views other same-party political candidates as his enemies and not people vying for the same common goal.
He absolutely should not be mayor.

The Irish have had ranked choice voting for ~a century & the saying there is ‘vote til you boke’ (boke=puke)—if you can’t stand the remaining candidates, don’t list them!! Anyone you list, you might end up voting for!!
I know we all want to figure out the best strategy to have the most OPTIMAL VOTE but there’s really no trick here, every RCV expert I’ve ever talked to says: just rank in order of preference, and don’t rank someone you loathe. that’s it!

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it?

It's sad ABC killed what was left of FiveThirtyEight (538?).
But it's journalistic malpractice to pull down the abcnews.go.com/538 page, too. Bonkers decision.
