@OmarShahine https://t.co/NcWPG0OF1I yep. Paid $5k over list for our 2021 Sienna and happy to do it, because otherwise we'd have waited many months

related and fascinating story, well worth your time: https://t.co/hBbHFQ2seG

@bobshepherd probably because they started the graph in 1993! It really should go further back.

@TedMielczarek @TychoTithonus @decarboxy @Pinboard we just had this done and it was like $700 total.. we lost one of the car keys for the Kia Niro :/

@MilMikeDev you can still use BBS with @discourse ;)

@GroundedRaptor it was great because of the simplicity -- no zillions of gadgets and classes and techniques, just a solid, basic set of abilities. DICE has an institutional problem where they are incapable of doing "simple"

@reidrac great, great movie

@DocPop Can't beat this version though https://t.co/SjgjDdf2Qe

@waxpancake Spongebob cannot be denied his due!

@carstenhag it's been asked for manymanymany times and I agree! But I also think they do a good job with the main releases .. whereas Battlefield:Hardline (it's decent, IMO) would have ben killer as BFBC3

@carstenhag yeah DICE usually has a case of kitchen-sink-itis but this is a callout to "ok, we include everything and you build the mode to match your tastes".. where kitchin-singing it becomes an asset!

@edisuc @cdixon these concepts are related. Good ux is easier when things are centralized.

that feeling of being in a 3d environment that you haven't thought about in a decade, but remember so many details

man it's worth it just to play battlefield bad company 2 again.. they have a custom game "remixes" mode and classic bfbc2 including the great maps is an option. So fun. https://t.co/bihBYDbG7L

@timjreynolds I started with the custom modes and I'm playing a BC2 rush match!

@cdixon aren't people in El Salvador buying things with bitcoin right now, at least in theory?

@cdixon I'm open to experiments. I'm not a hater. But.. study the history. Decentralization is basically infinite difficulty level. And all that said, of *course* I support a decentralized web. One Giant Facebook is not good for anyone's health and mental well being.

@cdixon people LIKE centralization. It's easy. It's simple to explain. It is literally the path of least resistance, and betting against that.. whoo boy GOOD LUCK

@cdixon that said I am not anti "web3" (which is an awful name, by the way) I am right on the middle veering slightly toward "ok, we can try this but I'm telling you I don't think the chances are good based on what I know about human behavior"

@cdixon I've also spent a fair bit of time buying things with Bitcoin and every time I am just astonished how painful and difficult it is, even with someone with elite level tech skills like me.

@cdixon I just can't see this ending any better than Xanadu, personally. It's like the "self driving cars are just around the corner" or "completely sentient AI is just around the corner" argument. Hard things are *HARD*. https://t.co/0K3QI6xaLZ

@ClipperChip “These were the uniform recommendations of the career public health officials here at HHS.” https://t.co/VkeTGvl5Qt

@venzann what does that even mean?!

@stevenb21 there's someone for everyone. It's not *all* about looks for women, it's also how you behave and who you are, if you are funny, if you are charming and thoughtful. Now if you only wanna date supermodels, then..

there's also this cheaper Honeywell mask which looks quite similar, I haven't tried it though https://t.co/KeWZYcJaH0

@bflippin I think in the end it is a bit too heavy and the fan slightly too noisy. I just can't see myself wearing it anywhere without being embarrassed. It is true overkill.

If you're looking for a fancier mask that's a bit more.. uhh.. practical.. I have and like this Oakely one https://t.co/OvMX8cWPnV

@migueldeicaza @TashasEv https://t.co/f03RqHTN4a

@TychoTithonus @decarboxy @Pinboard I do actually use two yubikeys on all sites where I have 2fa for this reason. I know I'm gonna lose one. This is a high bar for average people though.

@Luisrebollo1 if you are a larger / taller person, probably

@stevesi Yeah you have to buy pre built these days to get a video card at a semi reasonable price

@djbaskin Yes great sunset tonight 🤩

@openculture https://t.co/DMlDIf0DaL

@Pinboard the power of celebrity is a hell of a drug

@ClipperChip That’s gonna be a no from me dawg, I’ve seen too many statistics

@lexfridman can't, Toys R Us is no more

@danluu blog this whole process!!

@TomWinzig @stephenjudkins @edorsey @Pinboard https://t.co/lTq4YMSFT5

See, the tooth fairy does care... especially when you threaten its life! https://t.co/Tjve80py1V

@C60Two Let me know how that goes I am interested!

@ChrisNelsonPE There is prior art https://t.co/7iPeKog9Kr I owned one but gave it to @deadprogrammer

@jwz @djbaskin Still gonna go with “would have gone down very differently without David Boies”

@Supermathie 🤔 … I’ll allow it

@garyash_ Get on my level, GARY

@deadprogrammer @Pinboard You will be known for one tweet and I think you know exactly which one

@splattne I drove by a school today and the fire alarm was just blaring sooo loud. Where is the fire? No fire, only constant false alarms. These “smoke detectors” are a public menace!!

@djbaskin Having read the book and watched the HBO series I feel like the pivotal figure was David Boies. He enabled soo mich bad behavior with impunity

@chriscoyier CCR is from my neighborhood. The guy who cuts my hair used to cut the Fogerty boys' hair.

@textfiles probably bad bits in the physical roms, then? Bit-flipping is a real thing, just ask our servers..

I will admit this display readout has been surprisingly useful in sussing out what happens when you try to charge multiple devices at the same time via one of those octopus multi-charger cables https://t.co/w4fHMFqfre

@joshsusser @raganwald can't do pointers, though, so I dispute "anything"

Digging this, especially at the current sale price https://t.co/JzW9WKHv0B https://t.co/7z2hb2HBm0

@cpaik Quora was an excellent example of this pattern as well

@bigzaqui @Pinboard https://t.co/bmhRkjASx6

@bigzaqui oh my god this is textbook @pinboard quote, it even includes a picture of it. It's goddamn perfect

"Who cares if some people treat vitamins like edible astrology?" https://t.co/zgI7JQrwHE

@JosephRooks well yeah HDMI signal sniffing seems *really* difficult on a lot of levels.. the "slap a cheap camera on it" approach may be the best/easiest/cheapest approach

@jonadair My dream machine is a chromebook powered by M1 with an OLED screen (and appropriately but not obscenely thin and light)

looks like you can color match backlights to the screen without HDMI signal sniffing now via a.. mountable camera? https://t.co/xG10gs4nWx

@MatzeOne There's a whole section about "that" in the wikipedia article, really! https://t.co/3IM1A5L7i4

@bobshepherd the most scathing indictment I can imagine

@ninja_coding ahh I do remember that one

And little did I know, in late 2019, that'd be the last international trip I'd be taking for quite some time.. but 2022 is coming with widespread masking and vaccines, hooray science! 🧑‍🔬

@codeodor The ironic thing is the Surface Pro 8 is a *much* better iteration, and I've owned every Surface since the first one.. the 8, this time, is actual progress

@Invisibilya link to video?

@NathanBowers Kinda horsecrap though because old school cartridges had really fast "disks" back in the day. Expensive, but.. the fastest things out there in their era!

@IBBoard ok!

@seanhrivers Agree. The quiet success of ChromeOS and Chromebooks has kind of slowly transformed the industry, but it's not an exciting story so it doesn't get much news coverage

It's remarkable how good ChromeOS has gotten over the last ~4 years. Paste history and emoji picker, tons of quality of life improvements. Also worked flawlessly with external USB-C connected monitor, unlike iOS or Windows. Worth a look!

@textfiles Gotta be a tiny memory leak

@Pinboard It is not a popular opinion but Logan’s Run had the right idea. Let’s just call it “generous and global application of term limits”

@Carnage4Life Wait so .. it says here on the Microsoft Advertising Blog that you're Group Program Manager? https://t.co/nrZAk1q3gV Anyway, you're not going to find many people crying crocodile tears for Facebook, or "advertisers" here.

@Carnage4Life "if you're running a campaign where you want people to go to your website, it is less likely to happen through Facebook." -- that's a *good* thing, as it encourages them to use other methods. It's only bad if you're Facebook.

@Carnage4Life "Facebook had, when I was there, roughly 90% of the conversion market of ads in politics, period," .. and that's.. *not* a problem?

@Carnage4Life I'll try to remember that, Guy Who Works for Bing and is Totally Unbiased on the Matter

@Carnage4Life How does that even work? Plenty of places to advertise. Dig deeper than Facebook, or if you can't.. maybe it's because they're a monopoly? 🤔

@Carnage4Life Oh no, who will defend the poor online advertisers. This reminds me of the “what about the shareholders” line in The Incredibles.

@Pinboard @ken_keenan I’d say over 70 yeah, likely, but up to 70 these days is likely safe in terms of no major cognitive decline.

@Pinboard @ken_keenan “performance on tests of vocabulary or general information, are consistently found to increase until at least age 60” https://t.co/NPt2EqHZkI

@Pinboard @ken_keenan Life expectancy has increased since then.

@Pinboard Life expectancy constantly increasing has been calamitous for progress.

@KristyT We had a doula for twins and it was hands down the best money we ever spent

@Carnage4Life It’s almost like Facebook is a monopoly

@robwormald yes! This one was crossing to the group

@Pinboard It is a nice touch that the clapping hands have an explicit white skin tone

Every time @pinboard is like “why do people have children anyway” I’m gonna refer him to this letter 🤣

The game looks amazing as well https://t.co/Ek1B24ekAm

There's a fun page here for random image data as well (though I wish there was a random color per-pixel option) https://t.co/Xaool1D2xZ

@atmosfx I had a pleasant Brand Interaction™️ today

@atmosfx Sweet Jesus why would you post this

2017 + 5 = 2022 https://t.co/7AUsIJOz4D

@tconroy well nobody's perfect.. EXCEPT THE WASD CODE

@textfiles nightmare fuel

@chetfaliszek they def released this too early. I found the recent beta basically unplayable for several days

@Carnage4Life I don't think it's gonna stick, personally, like New Coke

@Pinboard oh yes it is full on crazytown out there https://t.co/JvWKmrqAZq

@Pinboard such optimism! We'll surely get someone worse than Trump

@Pinboard still infinitely better than more Trump
