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

I'm old enough to remember when "blockchain" was called "MySQL database with two tables and an arbitrary number of logins"

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…

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!

I just gotta say this, and it might take a while and I am probably gonna cry...

I get into a lot of discussions with people who have no idea the state of world we were actually in leading up to @realDonaldTrump, nor where it was going to end up. Thank you God!!!
The #AmericanPeople have been forced into basic slave labor. Unions took over personal #freedoms in the work place, making it impossible to do anything without the #mob without risk of getting fired. #Unions also allowed people that did nothing to keep their #jobs
without recourse. #Goverment stepped in and made it necessary to have a #supervisor, #assistantsupervisor, #manager, #directingmanager, they gave quotas on #race and #gender that had to be met. They all but destroyed #business in #America

0/ Coming in HOT today with a thread devoted to a bunch of #crypto- and #blockchain-related events that took place over the past 24 hours or so. Here we go!
1/ ⛽️ I wasn't joking about that 'hot' thing, for @GetGitcoin have introduced Gas Price Heatmaps (gitcoin.co/gas/heatmap).

Assess the price vs. speed tradeoff vis-à-vis @ethereum gas. Super useful!

Built by @FrederikBolding. It's a visual representation of @ETHGasStation data.

UNBELIEVABLE

#HillaryClinton was First Lady, senator, Secretary of State, 1st woman nominee of a major political party & won more votes than anyone in US history except Obama 2008.

Texas board votes to eliminate Hillary Clinton from history curriculum dallasnews.com/news/education…
One of the many reasons this erasure of @HillaryClinton from textbooks matters is because Texas is the main purveyor of textbooks in the US.

She's being erased in all 50 states.
