Just another IC here but I've seen middle managers just bureaucratize an existing process for their benefit. Something like: a) identify a process that is working well/delivering results b) insert a reporting procedure/step f

Probably a large donor's money spigot was affected (e.g. FAFSA private loan servicers) and the WH got a call from them. Same with the plan to deport prisoners, queue the calls into the WH from private prison lobbyists in 3,2,1...

An easier snowboard test is to tell someone to turn around and tell them you are going to give them a push. Give them a shove to the upper back and see which foot they put forward first to brace.

Older runner as well and have also had to take sporadic time off to deal with plantar fascitis, IT band, achilles, etc. Agree with listening to your body and what I'm hearing is slow down to stretch out my total running lifespan/d

I could see this being useful for a community-based website where it could be embedded into a page on the site (like an iframe), so many 'admins' could provide updates.

Agreed and I don't know. For that matter, why not an AI assistant for the whole website? I think chat interfaces might take over site search. So good luck with Gali! ...I'm surprised OpenAI has not made Custom GPTs easily embeddab

My son found work last year in a seaside town, I helped him in finding an apartment over summer timeframe. I looked online in the usual places and there was near zero apartment inventory which I though was odd. Then I pulled-up AirBnB and t

Great read! As 'flatlander' with no residency bias here (MA), I visit NH and VT often and would say VT is the better place for a casual visit (can't comment on live). Those NH billboards and box stores add-up whereas the enti

Good stuff! I actually had the same idea as I was building a custom GPT. Not as slick as your effort but if you want to take a look: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-lwQixzKwd-web-optimizer

Agreed. Peak studio album was Speaking in Tongues imho. I remember seeing Stop Making Sense at the theater originally and it had everyone dancing in the ailses (hadn't seen that before nor since).

The McGee series are fun reads, timewarp back to 60s/70s gumshoe work.

Indeed. How many centuries would Meta need to pay this fine before it starts to begin to hurt/be noticed I wonder.

Maybe consider a role 'following the money'? Perhaps your skills are even stronger than Gregg/Dean in either explaining/solutioning/selling/deploying the tech to solve your customer's problems.

It reminds me of a mooring exchange website I built 20 years ago, where boaters could freely exchange and/or temporarily use each other's moorings. I eventually pulled the plug because harbormasters were complaining about it and i

My first Saab odometer only had 5 digits (Saab 96). I remember it cycling past 99999, resetting, and ultimately driving it to about 13000 miles :)

Interesting to see Top Gear wax nostalgic on Saab when they regularly sh*t on them back in the day. Saab pushback on GM is good now but was bad then? I suspect their takes had no small impact on sales. e.g. https://www.youtube.co
