You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe.
We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

The man @NYCMayorsOffice is trolling gave $400 million to @MSKCC_BreastCA cancer hospital, $60 million to @SuccessCharters & $40 million to #NaturalHistoryMuseum. So, yeah Zohran, I think Ken Griffin is “paying his share.” Such a jackass, juvenile move to play @DSA class warfare with Griffin. Grow up. @nycgov @CMFrankMorano @CM_KMarmorato @GaleBrewerNYC @CMSandyNurse @SpeakerMenin @LincolnRestler @OsseChi @JoannAriola32 @vmmalony . Zohran, put the ego aside & try showing appreciation 4 this philanthropy.
The reason this debate is so insane is because support for a wealth tax can come from only one of two positions:
1) You do not understand the absolute basics of how the world, economics or money works
2) You do understand, and are a compulsive liar
It really is that simple.
It is genuinely mind-boggling how few of the loudest voices on a wealth tax don't have even the most basic understanding of the economic impact of taxing unrealised gains.
You don't need to be an economist to understand this, just 45 seconds of thought will do.
A+ grade act of self-care as an adult:
stop booking cheap economy flights with shitty travel agents through Skyscanner.
Please God
Europe is so back.
No more cookie banners, if member states approve of the proposal.

The irony of using your H1 screen real estate to slag off a famously well designed competitor instead of communicating what you actually do.
we’ve been building in silence
reimagining what productivity should feel like
today, we’re opening the waitlist for slane.

Don’t assert how things should work when you clearly don’t understand how those things do work.
Makes you look like a moron.
If a company can break the entire internet, they are too big. Period.
It's time to break up Big Tech.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
AWS is not a monopoly. It represents 30% of the web.
Sen. Warren also overlooks the fact that many providers went down because their services relied on a single AWS region, a malpractice that is not Amazon's fault.
It did not affect Google, X, and many others.

If you celebrate the murder of another person because that person had different political opinions to your own, you are, and I cannot stress this enough, a vile piece of shit.

Adding to this - the amount of shit that Python lets AI engineers get away with is something we’ll never be able to forgive it for.
There is an inverse correlation between your usefulness and the number of regular meetings in your calendar.
You can drag my cold, dead body off this hill.
I will scream this from rooftops if I have to.
If you introduce an additional database in to your environment to support one extra data format in the name of technical purity you are not a competent engineer.
JSON in Postgres is absolutely fine for 99.99% of use cases.
The comments. My god.
Few better signals of incompetence in an engineer than optimising for complexity on the altar of technical scalability.
