Amalgamate is superb, another sunil 7drl banger! Managed a score of 955, which I think is as far as I can go +- random chance. Highly recommended!

It's absolutely wild how many times Volvo has managed to refresh this platform. They are basically the same cars as in 2015/2017 but now they have 150km range plus electric and they still look amazing.

Our pets are both Catriotic Catnadians, which is to say we have managed to switch them off of US-made cat food to a Canadian product. The dimmer of the pair for a while refused to believe it was food…. Still using MAGA litter though, and despite the mean-spirited propaganda joke therein, we’ll switch that too. #caturday #DumbAssMAGATradeWar Related

RE: https://mastodon.social/@tristanbuckmaster/117233413705701198 A remarkable achievement: Alpöge and Buckmaster have managed to push one of the major promising approaches towards constructing blowup solutions to fluid equations --- as developed by Cordoba and Martınez-Zoroa --- to establish finite time blowup for many key fluid equations, including 3D incompressible Euler, with a smooth forcing term. (Previous work by these authors on similar equations could obtain a smooth forcing term for the IPM equation, and a subcritical but not smooth regularity for other equations.) The arguments hav… Related

This talk by (my former colleague) @kevinriggle is a superb 80/20 for startup founders who want to do more than nothing re: security but are not sure where to start with a small team. Quoting @MicroConf Kevin Riggle did security at Akamai, Stripe, and Lyft before starting his own consultancy. He argues at MicroConf that most cybersecurity advice is written for computers we stopped using twenty years ago. Here's what to do instead. 🧵 startups Related

I have some news. But first a little backstory. Almost exactly four years ago, I drove down to Mountain View for my first day as a Google employee. I was fifty-four years old, and somehow had managed to avoid ever having a proper job over that entire period, other than a few startups that I had founded in my twenties and thirties. At that point Google Labs, which had just been formed a few months earlier, was headquartered in a fairly anonymous looking suburban office park off 101, closer to Office Space than Silicon Valley on the Mike Judge spectrum. And as it happened, my first day at Googl… Google startups Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
