Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Exclusive: A Post investigation found that for-profit trade schools defrauded the U.S. government of over $300 million through the GI Bill, exploiting veterans with overpriced, short courses due to lax oversight and loopholes.

I am not a watch wearer, so I was blissfully unaware that Casio had stuffed a supercomputer into the classic design. Wild stuff, and an absolute sleeper build.

The haters stole my last one, but I know I had to do it to 'em, so I bought the exact same thing again. Step tracker. Bluetooth time sync and phone finder. Casio ABL100WE. Talk to your parents.

Hell of a research design course example

“If we reduce the complaints, we reduce the discrimination”

Not sure if everyone appreciates the difference. Rooftop solar hardwires into your main panel via a dedicated breaker, so it requires a permit, an installer, an electrician, and a utility agreement. Balcony solar just plugs into a wall outlet, sharing an existing circuit with no permits or rewiring.

A new deal on balcony solar just dropped in the US

There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

This looks cool, hopefully I can add it to suggestions for supplemental texts in future courses.

OUT TODAY! 🥳 A straightforward, non-technical guide to thinking like a quantitative social scientist. Written for students, journalists, and curious citizens. A lot of thought and heart went into this. I genuinely hope folks enjoy it!

I'm beginning to doubt whether all these bad drivers asking for patience via trunk magnet are actually "student drivers"... I do believe many of them should learn how to safely operate their motor vehicles, though.

Great in principle, a scourge in practice. Each one is a rolling externality factory, thanks to choices of the operators, and sometimes the users. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

After Morgan Wallen concerts, Ann Arbor may adopt new regulations for pedicabs

Traveling pedicab operators from as far away as the southern United States were in town to cash in on last weekend’s Morgan Wallen country concerts at Michigan Stadium.

Love to argue with a Cyrix processor, pneumatic logic, and leaky hoses to undo one bolt in order to learn if I've bought a boat anchor. (I didn't, thankfully.)

Help. Do you use python notebooks (of any flavor) for data science/analysis work? Would you be willing to chat with me about your workflow? I haven't used notebooks since grad school (just haven't needed to) and I realized this week some of my assumptions need challenging! #python #pydata #databs

should be more of a scandal that the FCC is banning a ton of electronics in the US (routers, cameras, drones, roombas) unless they go through a murky process to get an exception, and which largely only right-wing-friendly companies (SpaceX) seem to have managed

I can tell the bond folks the exact date Kevin Warsh will start advocating for major rate hikes to tame inflation: January 20, 2029

It is certainly true that the tech sector enjoys increasing returns. But it is *not* true that this is a difference from "traditional production industries" - increasing returns are ubiquitous in manufacturing. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

The jet-setting cosmopolitans of popular imagination exist, but they are far outnumbered by a less exalted and less discussed elite group, one that sits at the pinnacle of America’s local hierarchies.

Most rural areas have a ruling class. And they want cheap unfree workers & to pass their fiefdoms on tax-free forever. It ain't rocket science. The fact that we're scared to talk about THAT, ime, is what's costing us a lot of rural voters!
