Super proud to have been part of this work and very happy to see these folks get recognized! It takes a village each and every one of you that helped make this thing a reality take a bow. #certificatetransparency #levchinprize #webpki
My daughter has a plastic wand with a magnet. She grabbed my Garmin watch and tried to take it's pulse (PPG)...and it worked!? It reliably shows ~72bpm with some variation...but only on one side of the N/S magnetic polarity! 🤔 Can anyone explain? @DrSianAllen

Hey folks, unfortunately I'm currently struggling with an extremely challenging medical condition. There's probably not much anyone following me can do to help, but I wanted to put something out there on X in the hopes of something serendipitous. #mskrad #msk #ortho #intskeletal #orthotwitter

Thrilled to share this news of Facebook’s win in the Cambridge Analytica privacy lawsuit against the government lawsuit from 2018. We worked hard for months on this case, filed multiple expert reports and offered deposition testimony.

Mind boggling value destruction in evidence for independent content producers on the Web with the retrenchment to doomed 1998 Yahoo-style attempts to describe the it taxonomically.

gov: "You do you"
me: Can I have air upgrades?
gov: No
me: far UV?
gov: No, regulatory issues
me: rapid tests?
gov: we don't cover
me: another booster?
gov: COVID is over
me: Bit of COVID data?
gov: don't collect
me: So by "you do you", you really mean "you do nothing"
gov: yes

Companies need to understand what's happening right now. You cannot mollify bigots whose primary desire is to be angry. You've already lost them. They're gone. If you cave to them, you're sacrificing the loyalty of other consumers for a sad, small group that will never like you.

"Using a commercial gas leaf blower for an hour produces emissions equal to driving from Denver to Los Angeles" -- while annoying the hell out of neighbors.
To quote @dccdudley, leaf blowers are the devil's hair dryer. Ban them as fast as you can.

Considering the conservative rage Abbie Hoffman once provoked with the flag-as-clothing that is now basically the uniform of the GOP, I'm looking forward to the cultural amnesia and reversal in 50 years that has CPAC looking like a Dina Martina impersonator convention.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.
My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re…
And some utterly damning charts.
1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.
How do economists reconcile the belief that US GDP could be as much as 1/3 higher if highly productive cities built more housing (nytimes.com/2022/07/19/opini…) with our main lever of monetary policy operating mostly through suppressing new housing starts? Seems like a problem.
16 years since I reported this bug class. (XSLT injection in xmlsec)
16 years! And why are they using a 12 year old version of the library? 🤦♂️

Facebook ad platform enables extremely niche businesses to exist because they can target ads to the specific people who might be interested. Europe is making it impossible to run most companies below $50m revenue because you can’t hit the market scale needed. Congrats idiots.

One of the most bizarre and harmful parts of the GDPR – out of a long list – is the idea that consent can't be "freely given" if you'd lose out somehow if you didn't give consent. So you can't offer a service like Instagram in exchange for a user's data.
