You do realize you're on the wrong side of history when you argue about how your concentration camps are different from other concentration camps, don't you?

McDonald's uses an AI chatbot called "Olivia" for hiring. A pair of hackers found they could access every conversation job applicants had with it—including all the personal info they shared—by exploiting security vulnerabilities as basic as using the password "123456".

What has it been like shifting from reporter to media executive, managing a staff instead of filing stories yourself? And do you write any of the jokes at The Onion? Or are you strictly managing the business?

The Onion's process is deeply, beautifully inefficient. Every day, our writers take 150 headlines into a physical writers room in Chicago and whittle them down to maybe one or two. These people throw away the funniest sentence I will ever write in my life six times by noon every weekday.

The point of taking over this place was to preserve this process, which I learned this week is almost assuredly more rigorous than The New York Times.

That's why I don't touch any of it. I just try to get more people to pay attention to the output, and get our work into different mediums and new places. We brought back the paper, reinvested in the Onion News Network, bought a full page ad in The Times for something they were going to write anyway. The role is to make the world-class work they're already doing seep into everyday American life more frequently, and that's working.

You actually can do this, you know. You can just try to highlight the beauty of things you like and not try to vampirically extract value at every step.

If people get one thing out of this whole Q&A, I hope it's that. You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People don't actually want that

I learned a lot from this #OpenBSD #relayd talk, and I already put the information into production! I know the excellent OpenBSD manual pages document everything, but it is a bit different when you see it presented in a talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW8QSZyEs6E

The problem with being a huge nerd who grew up in the '80s and '90s, but who has since become an adult is being torn between the two perfect aesthetic forms of home computer existence - maximalism or minimalism.

I'd never encountered this Turkish proverb before today, but whoa, it sure explains why Donald Trump is being allowed to destroy America.

A Turkish proverb illustrated in four panels by artist Kait Bradley-Gooch: "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them." The first panel shows a flourishing forest, the second a close-up of an axe, the third words only, and the fourth a stump.

@petrillic Ansible is my go to

I successfully tested my #faraday boxen today. Working on something MIL‑STD‑188‑125‑{1,2} HEMP / RF blocking. It's a lot of layers, metal epoxy antenna, graphite, and carbon fiber.

I figure if I'm going to make a data vault I might as well go all the way and MIL STD's are made for field DIY so this let's me get creative.

With this first proof of concept, so far, I've been able to fully block cellular and WiFi. More testing is needed but next up is testing NFC and UWB and checking conduction across the various layers with a multimeter.
