Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 5d agoCarl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

I'm sure there's a good story having to do with local expertise and survival of the fittest but it's amazing how the shittiest cheapest most fly-infested pizza place in NYC would be the best pizza in most other American cities.
Everyone on this blue sky wants to know: what the h*ck is a Jev? Why are nerds excited about this? Reader, I wish I knew. Watcher, I’ll tell you, don’t tell the reader guys. youtube.com/watch?v=HojO... (As usual, obeisance to the algorithm is appreciated. 🫡)
Jev's kinda neat. It might change how you do some stuff.

The Campaign for North Africa, a staggeringly complicated World War II board game, has stymied players for decades. Now two guys in England are giving it a serious go.

Crazy to think that this was 15 years ago.
Erik Loomis@erikloomis.bsky.social · last mo.This Day in Labor History: September 17, 2011. A group of activists started protesting in Zucotti Park in Lower Manhattan. Soon gaining the nation’s attention and spawning similar groups across the country, Occupy Wall Street was the first grassroots protest against inequality in the New Gilded Age!
I'm back, I missed you all. Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult. I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?) (alternative title: Time For Some Cult Theory)
his name being on things is important to him, clearly, but he struggles with associating it with anything to do with soft power like arts/culture. This isn't just because artists overwhelmingly dislike him (though that of course factors in) but because he's utterly incapable of philanthropic work
Musicology Duck@musicologyduck.bsky.social · last mo.one of the things Joyce Beatty is seeking to uncover in her lawsuit currently is that they were basically already bankrupt before they even took his hame off and are trying to hide it
I was watching Sesame Street with my son in our apartment in Hell's Kitchen when the BBC broke in with the news. A friend watched the towers fall from his balcony in Battery Park City. A student, late to work, was just out of the subway when the first tower fell.
This Day in Labor History: September 2, 1885. White miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming decided to exterminate the town’s entire Chinese community. Mostly Knights of Labor members, they killed at least 28 Chinese miners in the Rock Springs Massacre. Let's talk about white supremacy and unionism!

I recommend to you this podcast series about Dolly Parton by Jad Abumrad (creator of Radio Lab). You may ask: how did a MacArthur Award winning pub radio guy meet Dolly? Because she personally funded his father's vaccine research, that's how. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dol...

This Day in Labor History: August 18, 1823. Slaves in Guyana rose up in the Demerara Rebellion. This was brutally suppressed by the English colonialists, but also played a critical role in building abolitionist support in Britain, paving the way for emancipation less than a decade later!!
I was literally at AMS in Madison this week learning about recent advances in meteorology, this is very cool.

Just frustrating to watch Morocco moving the ball with no urgency.
NIST is advancing nine new post-quantum signature algorithms as potential candidates for future standardization. We take a closer look at all of them, and argue that while they are in the works and show great potential, we should use ML-DSA for now. https://cfl.re/4ye4Uh2
Why we cannot wait for better post-quantum signature algorithms
Let’s have a look at the signature algorithms in detail. After that we’ll look at the timeline for their availability, and the reasons why we still need them.
