Gotta wonder why Ars said it this way:

“Twitter posts the code IT CLAIMS determines which tweets people see, and why”

Casts a bit of doubt.

Also, I heard that this had been leaked earlier, presumably by a disgruntled (and fired) employee.

Wouldn't social workers primarily have degrees in sociology?

Found this: "A bachelor's degree in social work (BSW) is the most common minimum education requirement however, a degree in a related field such as psychology, sociology, and public health administration may also qualify you for some entry-level jobs in the field."

Funny, because there's some truth to it?

Just wait. They're only going to get more persuasive.

I was going to point out clear bias toward the blue state.

Hanon has a special place in the soul of every virtuoso.

Looking that way.

We will put ours out 4/16.

Sadly our bluebirds continued their migration. but we had them for several days, a first.

If he's elected, he can continue Lightfoot's work. Soon there will be no wealth in Chicago at all.

I guess letting them work from home is not an option?

Turley: I recently wrote about the outburst of Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., screamed about gun control. After one member asked him to stop yelling, Bowman shouted “I was screaming before you interrupted me,” which could now go down as the epitaph for our age.

Aw-w-w-w.

Fantastic! 👍 👍 👍

Story on one company that does payroll processing that cuts checks using money deposited in SVB. Many of the payroll company’s clients are not even in Silicon Valley, the average income of the workers getting paychecks processed by this company is around $55k per year. 80% of the workers are outside of California.

Lots of rank of file middle class people would have gotten hurt had the government not step in. Bailing out the depositors, but letting SVB’s bond holders and stock holders suffer the consequences, and firing SVB’s senior management are the right things to do.

My second cousin.

The hell you say.

I always found the genealogy of "second cousins," etc confusing.

My Mom’s cousin… The Stoney’s Brewery Fortune nearly fell to our side of the family instead of hers… Oh well…

So David and Shaun are 2nds once removed?

She looks great— just turned 89. Happy Birthday!

Shaun is, David is her stepson, so no technical relation.

For construction, ya gotta have nailers. I've got 18g, 16g, 15g, stapler and a framing nailer. My 15 & 18 are oiless. Don't last as long, but they leave no oil residue on the board.

I'm no woodworker. I butcher a piece on occasion. My dust collection system is a broom and a dustpan.

This was my late morning espresso shot.
