Listening to a podcast where they just don’t know if iPhone users will be comfortable buying things outside the App Store. For some in-app things, maybe, but we gotta stop talking about ecommerce as some sort of niche thing.

The App Store made about $90 billion in revenue last year, while ecom did about $6 trillion, so App Store transactions account for about 1.5% of global ecom. That’s a lot for one store, but it’s still a slice.

I mean, with this crew, there's always some racism and sexism in their decision making, but there's also usually a grift of some kind too. I just have trouble seeing it sometimes.

I've been wondering whether the firing of Carla Hayden was just about racism, but with the firing of Shira Perlmutter it sounds like there might be something else too:

Rep. Joe Morelle ... is alleging it is “no coincidence [Trump] acted less than a day after [Perlmutter] refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.”

I haven't posted any new #music in a while, so here is the latest album by I'm With Her. It was released just a couple days ago, but I've been listening to most of these songs for months and it already feels like home.

The UK’s i.AI office has extended their AI-driven Lex tool with Lex-graph, a knowledge graph visualizing the connections between laws, amendments, citations, and so on.

The graph has over 820,000 nodes (legislation and provisions) and 2.2 million edges (connections between them).

It’s bizarre we talk about USPS and Amtrak as operating at a “loss.” They are public goods, so I don’t know why there’s an expectation that they turn a profit. Whatever the shortfall is should be considered the operating cost of the service, like every other agency.

"DOGE has broken so much of what didn’t need fixing, resulting in layoffs of 1000's of federal workers... Musk has literally embodied inefficiency and we can now, once and for all, retire the romantic mythology that any accomplished businessperson will succeed in managing the $7T budget of the U.S. government. Our country is not a for-profit entity and cannot be treated as one, because it is responsible for the welfare of a third of a billion people."

This was a fun survey, but when asked about my favorite music artists of the last 12 months, only three options is not enough 😅

I wish I could've added a link to my #tidal account...

ANYWAY, if you're a #dev and don't want to vote for the hottest #JavaScript framework for the nth time again: Take a look, it's about you as a person in this industry

I think one ought to be able to bounce in and out of both ways of seeing the problem seamlessly.

Use brute force to verify your theory. Use theory to make better brute force.

You generally won’t see me advocate violence. What I’m saying is, screaming at ICE agents, demanding documentation, recording their voices and faces, telling them they are ruining lives and acting like Nazis — that all works. These fucks go home and take that baggage with them. You don’t need (or want) violence there usually. You want a pressure campaign to shame these shitweasels into slowing down, “accidentally” losing targets, and quitting. Friction. Slow the machine down.

I do high stress work. I watch people die. I do surgical procedures in moving vehicles and in chaotic trauma bays. I deal with violent, drunk, and high people all the time. I can tell you this — when people make my environment more dangerous, I will look chill and work through it to keep everyone safe, but I am gonna be shaking and can’t think well for a bit afterwards every time.

When citizens surround ICE guys and scream at them, that’s what is happening to ICE. Keep it up! It does matter.

Mine would be “Warning: May cause temporary inflammation or irritation.”
