  • This seems shitty for consumers, but I think it’s not new shit - it’s just a window into the reality of exploitation we have all been living with our entire lives and it’s uncomfortable to confront that giant turd we don’t like to think about.

    Retailers like maximum profit and they are going to point to supply/demand to justify it. With these digital price tags, they’re just equipped to do it more quickly and more often.

    At first, I was thinking: What if I grab an item from the shelf and then it’s 20% more expensive by the time I get to checkout. Then, I realized they’re just going to claim I saw the final price on the checkout summary and should have denied the purchase at that time.

    If we legislate anything, it should be the clarity around checkout/returns imo.

    It feels like the novelty of an attempted XPOTUS assassination wore off in less than 48 hours. That’s crazy.

    Nobody around me is even talking about this anymore - not at work, not on social, not at the grocery store, nowhere.

    Idk if that’s due to everyone being super jaded or because it’s Trump. If it’s because it’s him, then I wonder if it’s because nobody gives a shit about him or if it’s just not surprising someone would take a shot at him or just because it’s irrelevant to his candidacy or what else.

    1. It is OK not to be happy all the time.

    2. It is also OK not to be the best, or even to be the worst!

    3. It is OK to acknowledge your behavior or thoughts are bad and to really experience your negative behaviors and thoughts - you can regret or feel sadness about them without looking away to escapism.

    Finally, even if you are the worst among your peers, at least you aren’t as bad or sad as characters of old fashioned tragedies and cautionary tales which are meant to give kids intuitive understanding of the three principles above.


  • I wonder if you could capture a high quality, multitrack recording of this emergence event to get a multidimensional audio sample from unique times/geographies where these groups emerge.

    With an audio sample that could only come from this specific event every 200+ years, you could set up a program that survives your own death and triggers only when it happens again.

    I’m not sure what the utility would be, but I’d watch it on Netflix for sure.

    When you have privacy settings, what you really have is a lie.

    It starts out with good intentions, like those in this post, but eventually everyone forgets that the platform still sees your posts and does not give a shit about selling them.

    I would rather acknowledge from the very beginning that this entire system is not private, so there is never such a misunderstanding.

    Everyone should post and comment with caution, just like you use caution with what you say in public places.



  • IBM did it first. It wasn’t a secret. There was a Watson Health group dedicated to training ML models on medical records from large insurers and hospital networks. Among other things, the game plan was to have the system provide oversight for the notes of physicians and other medical practitioners - to spot poor quality/repetitive notes and alert the practitioner and/or their boss to the risk of malpractice/inability to bill for the encounter.

    Don’t glue it shut, paint it shut with an acrylic paint or nail polish. Try to stick to the surface with the paint - you could even paint it to cover it/obscure it’s location as well.

    This way, if you ever need to remove it you can delicately dab acetone over it to dissolve the acrylic and it will open once again!
