I'm an attorney -- a Patent attorney with experience in copyright, data law, and contract law -- currently working for a law firm. I'm a big fan of software freedom and think federated networks are part of the secret sauce that will make the internet right.

In my spare time, I enjoy judging moot court competitions, watching absurdist comedy, and writing about menswear.

Stretchy pants are the worst pants. They are not comfortable, they do not look just like chinos, they do not help you "perform" better in the office, you are horribly confused.

Also, they're destroying the planet.

Stop wearing this shit.

We Must End the Scourge of Tech Pants

Nobody has ever looked good in “performance chinos.” It’s time for the sloppy, synthetic simulacrum of trousers to go the way of the dodo.

"A group of about 50 #French #Jewish #children, aged 10-15, were kicked off of a Vueling flight in #Valencia along with their camp director. They were enroute back to #France.

The group was singing #Hebrew songs onboard the Airbus A320, triggering objections from crew. Vueling staff reportedly called #Israel a “#terrorist state” and didn’t want Hebrew singing onboard. The camp director, a 21‑year‑old woman, was forcibly removed from the #aircraft and “#arrested and #beaten.”

CNN noted that this problem goes beyond Grok. It doesn't need to. We know about this. We've solved this. They just don't care.

CNN also noted that the results are worst when it comes to Jews. Honestly, not surprising. All conspiracy theories seem to come back to us.

AI’s antisemitism problem is bigger than Grok

When Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot began spewing out antisemitic responses to several queries on X last week, some users were shocked.

Ever since Microsoft Tay, we've all been aware that AI can get super racist if we let it. Most have been competent enough to put guard rails on it. Most.

Conspiracy theorists and racists love the less-moderated corners of the internet, because they're great places to spread racist bullshit.

Match made in heaven.

Crude subsidies and protectionism have never been good economic policy, but keep throwing politicians at the problem instead of economists, they'll get it right eventually.

US manufacturing faces a tough road ahead despite efforts from Biden and Trump

Democratic President Joe Biden handed out subsidies to chipmakers and electric vehicle manufacturers. Republican President Donald Trump is building a wall of import taxes – tariffs – around the U.S. economy to protect domestic industry from foreign competition. But American manufacturing has been stuck in a rut anyway. Biden’s subsidies haven’t had time to deliver many factory jobs, and some of them have already been overturned by the Republican Congress. Trump’s tariffs help some manufacturers but hurt others. And the erratic way he’s rolled them out has paralyzed factory managers who don’t know what to plan for.
