It's all about group identity.

More of my communication is migrating to other mediums (especially stuff tied closely to code).

I have certainly been made a tool in this system by commenting on recent outrages.

This may seem extreme, but I agree that these bills will result in death.

I knew most of these, but broadly it was a big step forward.

Some of this won't happen for over a century, but still really bad potential impact.

This one is hard to follow, but it sounds like the last time the All Writs Act was used was in a very different context.

I figured the warrant covers the phone, but interesting to see a more nuanced legal argument.

I agree broadly with these, but a lot of them are also age-linked. It still feels weird to not celebrate an accomplishment.

Not surprising. I'm sure they'd argue that liberals have been messing with curricula for years and they're just offering an alternative.

Some interesting trivia on what inspired the E's more swept design.

Interesting hagiography, but I think even just this excerpt kinda cheapens the efforts of other black leaders by comparison.

Crossy Road is the 8-bit endless arcade hopper that started it all. Collect custom characters and navigate freeways, railroads, rivers and much more.

A strong data driven critique of the claim that class matters more than race in the liberal agenda.

I want to believe, but I don't know if it's enough.

I didn't realize they'd done some direct imaging. The timeline on some of these telescopes is too long!

Amazing work. I didn't realize the detection was before they officially started. Opening a new window on the universe indeed.

Easy transistor scaling is dead, but there's a ton of interesting work to keep squeezing more juice out of our chips.

Disgusting abuse of our freedoms because of nebulous fear of terrorism.

More orbital details, and why we haven't seen a hypothetical ninth planet yet.

Not surprising to see another way in which privacy is a luxury good.

This sounds interesting but probably too road centric.

No surprise there.

I knew a few of these. Gotta love all that brutalism!

Nice to see so many oppose the government overreach in this.

Interesting overview of forced retirement in the context of Scalia's death... By Ryan Park!

Boom. I think we do, and I worry that fear will win.

I've been saying this for a while. I think the anti-nuclear power movement ended up being a dangerous distraction.

Some broader geopolitical context.

This is a good point — Apple sells hardware, and increasingly they're selling not just a good experience but a secure one, even from the state.
