learned what Frechet inequalities are today and I'm really mad because this Frechet guy was born in 1878. Euler and Gauss did superhuman work predating this guy's birth and this guy has a concept named after him that is so obvious that I didn't know it even had a name.
White-collar prosecutions actually are at an all-time low, so
Video games are incredibly underpriced, and the stinginess of gamers is a big reason why so much of the industry is slop and why game development is a terribly underpaid career. Adjusted for inflation, Mario World 3's MSRP of $49.99 in 1990 is equivalent to $128 today. We must retvrn.

I've been so miserable these past few months that phoebe bridgers is kinda growing on me
Feeling wonderful, roasted, and salted like a bag of pistachios.
i don't want to say that i know for sure that platner is a bad drunk but a guy who identifies as a Man of Violence and has a history of extremely bad judgment while loaded is going to have a worse story than a bad skull tattoo
Is it even possible for a Democratic politician to have both working class and elite appeal? Picture unrelated not sure how it ended up here.
Platner should drop out obviously but bigger picture I don't know how you balance out the fact that the median voter in swing states is a lumpenprole mildly racist loser who vote based on the beer question and the fact that the candidates who appeal to them are by and large also losers.
I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

One must imagine that the Declaration of Independence would have been signed electronically had the technology existed. And Nick Cage would have never been able to steal it with Docusign's enterprise grade security and encryption.
This is why I wake up in the morning. Myopic critics pan my life's work as just building some SaaS company. But how many SaaS's have been instrumental to matters of war and peace? Without Docusign, thousands more would needlessly die. At Docusign, we are literally saving lives.
Unless the Sharia law compliant S&P500 ETF also waives its rules (and hopefully the word of God is more timeless than the S&P500's index inclusion criteria), then this is one way to avoid SpaceX IPO exposure. Alhamdulillah
I'm in a strange situation at work where I've made the People Who Actually Matter quite happy but I've also kind of pissed off a couple of People Who Sort Of Matter. 🤷
TIL Ring camera "encryption" is a pretty neat lofi filter.
I feel like over the past couple months I've transitioned into a "meetings guy." Most of my day is taking meetings and preparing for upcoming meetings. I kinda hate it.
the stock market is funny because the largest global supply chain shock since a deadly worldwide pandemic is worth -0.2% but a single blog post speculating about a new technology can stone cold stunner SaaS companies -50%.
so Theophite leaves Google and then just a few months later they have a massive Gemini related security fiasco (wrt leaky project scoped API key permission boundaries) that seems to be from poor but deliberate decisionmaking with a concerning fact pattern. Coincidence?
Pinterest started recommending me Snoopy stuff because a girl I'm flirting with likes Snoopy stuff and I pull Snoopy pics from Pinterest. But today it recommended me "Snoop Dog" [sic] and I guess I can see why it did that but that's an extremely different thing.
K-pop outperformed the vast majority of companies in the S&P 500 in 2025. You would currently be 63% richer if on January 1st 2025, you bet the house on BTS and NewJeans.
The Mexican Jarritos Instagram account has fewer followers per capita (1 in 2940) than the South Korean Jarritos Instagram account does (1 in 2810).
I feel like the US federal government must have better sources for inflation numbers than Doordash.
stranger on the train asked me what brand my boots are. total menswear victory
I had no idea what Fiserv does until I looked up their website. Their website says that they offer "insights" and "solutions" to "move businesses forward." So I guess that's what they do.
Today is the 10 year anniversary of Joanna Newsom's latest album, Divers.
