If I went to Switzerland and won a Swiss watch precision contest, I would literally never talk about anything else

Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 2w ago

I went to Geneva a few weeks ago and spoke on a panel about the nature of time for a Geneva Watch Days event. While I was there, on a lark, I entered a competition to most precisely calibrate a Swiss watch. And today I found out that I won! 😃 www.instagram.com/reel/Dd6hUTB...

Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year.

From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

We’re not changing it.

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

i’m on vacation this week and am not generally paying attention to social media, but i feel obligated as a member of the technology industry to say that i want absolutely no part of a “Technological Republic.” what a puerile, ahistorical and amoral set of aims. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

"I'm just calling to see what the Senator is doing today to prevent war crimes?" is not a phone call I had ever planned to make.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

You don't "reform" or "reign in" this level of sociopathy, you burn it to the ground.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

"this is a brand new plane so we apologize for not having wifi available" is a scary phrase, not because of the wifi, but because it's a Boeing 777-8 MAX!

I was going to ask y'all to donate to @signal.org but I had to do it first. Now that I have, please consider learning about Signal, and why privacy is important, even when you don't have anything to hide, then consider donating to help Signal continue their work. signal.org/donate

FYI, I deleted my Twitter account in 2024 after dual posting to both Bluesky and Twitter for a while.

Twitter died a long time ago and X isn't worth it. Before I made the jump, my ego was holding me back. I was too concerned with vanity metrics. I finally realized if you're posting stuff people want to follow, then they'll follow you, even when you leave. www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/k...

i code daily, but i work as a product manager. i constantly see a lot of confusing noise about what product management is and isn't, but it doesn't have to be complicated. here's an evolution of the guidance that i give my teams on the practice of product management: nulldivide.com/blog/product...

Since this is the last social media site I use I don't have anywhere else to brag about my Thanksgiving brisket cook.

All I'm saying is, if you're someone who has to go to tons of meetings, you should set "meetings" just for yourself, to book time for getting things done

The range increments of a full subway sandwich are only 10/20 so you have disadvantage on your throw more than a few paces away. You can double the range with a half-sandwich wrapped tightly and druis have a fifth-level subclass feature that removes disadvantage if the sandwich has sprouts

John Rogers@johnrogers.bsky.social · 12mo ago

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
