Full 5-star reviews on Amazon are now a great indicator of cheap garbage.
Wow! 36 out of 36 reviews give 5 stars! And all left today!
Hey look, this reviewer has left 10 reviews, all for deep-discount knockoffs, all today! He must know his stuff!
Here's a piece of garbage I bought last year. Hey look! Here's the same graphics with a different brand name, and now a full 5-star rating! They must have totally redesigned it! Oh, weird, it's not there now.

So... are flights into LGA grounded, DC airspace closed, and this is The End? Or is there a 41-min delay at LGA like what's been happening for weeks but coded differently? Careful reporting, clear language badly needed here to avert another epistemic collapse story in the making.
The idea that this is of a kind with what's been happening throughout the shutdown but FAA staffers are coding it differently to send a message comes from here. (One can interpret this for or against The End, of course, but it seems less a sharp break.)
This sure doesn't look like D.C. airspace being "shut down entirely."

AOC is more right than wrong, but it's not because algorithms are made by biased humans. For example, racial disparities in criminal conviction rates make it provably mathematically impossible to eliminate disparities in sentencing algs. See @tnajournal:
thenewatlantis.com/publications/a…
Algo racism is an input, not a code, issue. Or in human terms: it's a rare case where you can mathematically prove the folly of reposing hope in software to cure entrenched social ills.

Again, read Tafari Mbadiwe's supremely insightful @tnajournal essay: thenewatlantis.com/publications/a…
Example: That blockbuster ProPublica investigation damningly found that false positive rates for the COMPAS sentencing algorithm were twice as high for black defendants as white. propublica.org/article/machin…

Re: lettuce: has anyone tried adding more blockchain?
I was about to apologize for what a bad joke that was.

Did you like the Dornean Gunship, Braha'tok-class? You will love the Arrestor Cruiser ! A story certainly better known, but it will have taken 43 years to appear (extremely briefly) on the big screen. Let's go for a new #StarWars story
Arrestor Imperial Cruiser - Solo : A Star Wars Story ( @RealRonHoward 2018)
Concept art (1975) by Colin Cantwell.
@RealRonHoward Present on the screen for a second or two in Solo: A Star Wars story, this design would go back almost to a few details, to 1975, when the Star Destroyer had not yet won the design that we know.

I Received the below message from a #Friend and found it #TooGoodNotToShare ..

What is A.A.A.D.D.?

It is Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

#ThankGod they now have a name for it ..

Read on more to learn about #AgeActivatedAttentionDeficitDisorder ..
This is how it manifests:

I decide to #water my #garden
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my #car and decide it needs washing

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car

I lay my car keys on the #table, put the junk mail in the #garbage can under the table and notice that the can is full

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first

I love game music too darned much.
2. de Blob - "Splashback" by John Guscott



The soundtracks to both of these games are pure, peppy gold from beginning to end.
3. Dark Souls II - "Majula" by Motoi Sakuraba



Of all the great music in these games, this is the track that ended up sticking with me most.

“Close your eyes and imagine a space in your house, a space that is 8 meters square. Now imagine a steel bed, a chair, a concrete bench, a toilet without a seat and a shower. Without walls or doors…”—@BassaMontse

“Are you overwhelmed? Well, now add an iron door that squeaks every time they close you in, old, gray walls, a tiny little window where you can only see a barbed wire covered wall, and you won't be home. You'll be in Alcalà-Meco jail.”
