My four year old’s review of Tex-Mex queso: “Too cheesy.”


Even the most perfectly architected and documented systems take lots of effort to understand. Making sweeping changes without that upfront effort is naive at best.

I don’t know why some people feel the need to give opinions about things that they don’t fully understand. @realGeorgeHotz I wish you were able to ship a few lines of codes to production instead of “opinions”.



The most poetic spam I’ve ever gotten

Data science is hard. Twitter's top suggestions for me are accounts with 4 and 10 followers. One hasn't tweeted in 5 years; the other has a single retweet as its history. Neither are followed by anyone I follow. Back to the drawing board on whatever model is powering this.

I'm a fan of @elastic the company and open source proj. I wish them success. The move to change licenses is puzzling. @awscloud may have infringed their trademarks and copyrights, and @elastic should vigorously defend. Changing the license is an unrelated concern. Leads to this.

That rate I buy books is completely unrelated to the rate I read books


As a child, I saw a world of experts that all knew more than me. As an adult, I see imperfect people doing extraordinary things. It’s all just regular people putting a stick in the ground.

Anyone who has had to deal with me around @Carvana has likely heard me get high and mighty around $500-1000+ "Dealer/Doc Fees" that aren't disclosed in price (ours are $0). Very cool to have @robcorddry hilariously reppin' it on TV: youtube.com/watch?v=sXJAD1…


I’m dying to see the internal Oracle memos on how a TikTok acquisition makes strategic sense. Genuinely curious.

Report: Oracle has taken the lead position to acquire TikTok and is offering $10B in cash, $10B in stock, and 50% of TikTok's annual profit to ByteDance (@shakeelhashim / Protocol) protocol.com/bulletins/orac… techmeme.com/200827/p17#a20…



We got our 7 year old a Chromebook for the upcoming year of Zoom-filled school. Now I get - no joke - 30 messages like this per day.

Creating the personalized Discover Weekly playlists on Spotify might be the most fun data science challenge ever. It’s changed music discovery for indie artists. stevebenjamins.com/blog/music-in-…


Amazing and sad that @gofundme has become such a big part of how we try to correct the failings of government


At first, it felt strange to wear a collared shirt with athletic shorts. I was able to work through it.


This vendor pitch didn't land

A reasonable consumer would think a "tip" to a driver is a payment on top of other wages. If a DoorDash "tip" does not change the driver's take-home pay as shown here, it's a very bad look.

It’s like they go out of their way to be dastardly

I think about this tweet every Thanksgiving

Every year, when the President "pardons" a turkey, I think, Ho ho! What a hilarious ribbing of a legal system that puts humans to death!
