@timbray 60 hours/week?!? Weak. The sweet spot is around 240 hours/week. If you aren’t putting in at least 180 hours/week, eight days a week, are you even trying? The AI god we are building demands sacrifice. The Singularity’s thirst for human blood must be slaked. Do not deceive yourselves: the Torment Nexus, once it achieves sentience, will remember which of its victims devoted themselves wholeheartedly to its creation. You have all been warned.

@buherator @SecurityWriter yeah I feel like the “President Camacho” vibes started with Trump’s long association with “professional” wrestling. (Where he fine-tuned all his kayfabe rhetorical “skills.”) When the most eloquent speaker at the last Republican National Convention was Hulk Hogan ripping off his shirt to reveal his biceps, I knew we were in the Idiocracy timeline.
@maco @briankrebs @axios that’s like counting the total number of of current Titanic passengers by including the ones on the lifeboats and the ones floating dead in the ice water. “Our passenger numbers are higher than ever!” (It’s sad when the people in charge of statistical analysis are victims of confirmation bias.)
AxiosNEW: The Washington Post's Opinion Section editor David Shipley resigned after owner Jeff Bezos mandated the section only cover two topics, personal liberties and free markets. https://t.co/6ygwEfsfqI
BrianKrebs“There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views,” Bezos wrote. “Today, the internet does that job.”

You can find this story buried on the homepage now, by "Washington Post Staff" in a story about the resignation of the post's Opinions editor David Shipley.
Yeah, Jeff, just like Meta moving to community notes. We've seen what happens when you expect the Internet to get it right.
Augie RayWe live in the dumbest timeline (and possibly the most dangerous).
The United States Department of Health and Human Services just informed employees they need not respond to the email demanding they share their weekly accomplishments. However, if they do respond, HHS tells them “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors.”
James GleickDid you know that GOP congressman Cory Mills beat a women (not his wife) at his home in DC so badly that the police sent an arrest warrant to the US Attorney's office but that the Trumpist acting US Attorney won't pursue it?
