5 things that'll drive authoritarians nuts over the next 10 yrs: 1. Universal, interdiction-resistant, P2P gig economy 2. Growth of untraceable cryptocurrency txns 3. Commoditization of 3D printed guns 4. Uncensorable social posts for all 5. Ubiquitous encrypted comms/apps
Different opinion: code will gravitate towards platform primitives (e.g. Web Components, WebGL, etc.), because when pressed to deliver the best performance and long-term supported code, platform APIs will beat all else over a long enough timeline.
the factor in which framework is no longer humans, it's the models react (+maybe vite) might become the last web frameworks we use
This should be a clear cut use of self-defense. When someone is being gang beaten, let alone when assailants are using a pistol to do so, it's absolutely a case of 'imminent great bodily injury/death', which authorizes the use of lethal force to repel. Free her immediately ✊

Most people don’t need faster payments. They need a reason to save. Every cycle, there’s pressure to make Bitcoin “useful.” Like unless you’re buying coffee with it, it’s not real adoption. But the real unlock isn’t spending. It’s saving. When you’ve lived through…
Islamic theocratic regimes are pure cancer, they systematically regress everything to a primitive 7th century state of existence.
The destruction of antiquities, arts, and culture in Syria is heartbreaking, in an attempt to erase Syria's 10,000-year-old cultural identity. No art, no music, no civilization, no future.
The insufferable left is now trying to label the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad as Nazi b/c it suggests 'good genes'. Sane people think 'genes that make someone attractive', but to lefties, it's 'genes of a master race trying to enslave mankind with a jeans ad'. Pure 🤡 energy
ohhhh haha like GENES!! i get it! she has good jeans like she has good GENES! hahahaha like in a nazi way!! totally!!!!!
This guy, who fraudulently claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, thinks this phishing email about Ledger discovering an ECC-breaking quantum computing mechanism, is real, which just underscores how far from an intellect like Satoshi he is 😆
One might say that with the Tea app giving up such a disastrous inside-the-park homer on an ugly unforced error, the Box Score is not looking good 🤭
There is “I fucked up” And there is “I built an app and accidentally leaked the drivers licenses of thousands of women on the internet” level of fucked up RIP

Claude should own the "you're absolutely correct" brand. Print shirts and shit. Would go so hard.
Getting tired of hearing about the wild success of the first libertarian administration in nation state history? Oh sweet summer child, Milei hasn't even taken his final form yet 😎
Javier Milei is so popular in Argentina, his political party, @LLibertadAvanza, is officially represented in all 24 districts of the country. Polls suggest the party is on set to become the majority party in Oct. Giving Milei an opportunity to take a chainsaw to the state.
🤣 They hate each other, priceless
This could literally pass as a scene straight from The Office
If Latin America births a libertarian revolution based on Milei's stratospheric success in Argentina, good for them, but how funny would it be to see the US spiral into retarded socialist governance just as LatAm finally manages to shake it off after losing generations to it? 😆
Milei Effect Hits Ecuador: President Noboa Slashes Ministries, Axes 5,000 in Bid to Shrink State Is the Chainsaw Revolution Spreading Across Latin America?
A teachable moment in the annals of vibe coding:
TLDR the Tea app stores everyone's photo and ID enuncrypted in a public firebase storage bucket. Hahahahahah. Was this vibe coded?
Reminder that Snoop narrating Planet Earth is still the most quality content
Government spent BILLIONS on high-speed rail. After 15 years there’s not a single operational high-speed train funded by that. The only high-speed thing government does with your money is waste it:
Is there a better song to kickoff a lifting session? If so, I do not know of it 🫴⛽️🔥 youtube.com/watch?v=azCq5q…
In Argentina, I watched a currency die in real time. Not metaphorically. LITERALLY. Prices changing in 24 hours. When westerners ask “why Bitcoin?” I think about the grocery stores with three different price tags in one week. You don’t get it until you live it.
It'll be impossible to beat this custom jersey riff, bar is too high now 🤣
Buddy went to Seahawks training camp today and got JSN to sign this. Might be the greatest thing I've ever seen.
One of the basic mistakes socialists make is claiming that markets aren’t efficient or rational but assuming that states are—even though state actors are as fallible as market actors and have weaker incentives to make good decisions
The government spends about $222,000 per second. Thus, a $100 donation would cover roughly 0.000451 seconds (or 451 microseconds) of spending.
you can venmo the United States to help pay off the national debt
