A balaclava is what ICE agents wear to hide their identities as they engage in shameful Gestapo-like activities for which they should, in fact, be shunned from society
A baklava is a delicious layered pastry treat
Confusing one for the other could lead to comical misunderstandings

Seems to me that allowing law enforcement officers to wear masks covering their faces….encourages an environment where law enforcement officers aren’t as concerned about being caught on camera doing something illegal. 🤷🏻♂️

One of the easiest ways for the public to see the value of NOAA / NASA / USGS data is for broadcast TV, streamers, weather apps, etc, to simply start showing (sourcing) agency logos on graphics.
Repetition and visual association works.
Hurricane season would be a great time to start.

Personally, I think Congress should not get free health insurance unless they meet the same countable asset limit and income limit as people who receive Medicaid in their state. Seems fair to me.
In my state:
Single:
$1,304 / month
$4,000 asset limit
Married:
$1,763 / month
$6,000 asset limit

wild that we sent a huge number of guys to Iraq at the start of that war without rifle plates and now this is just how cops dress to frighten kitchen employees
Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

We are told to simultaneously believe AI is so "early days" as to excuse any lack of real usefulness, and that it is so established - "too big to fail" - that we are not permitted to imagine a future without it.
And since they can't deliver, they have to keep making the promise - the FOMO - bigger.

Had a lot of people recently reaching out to do off the record “on background” interviews where they ask me to explain a bunch of stuff to them. This is not something to do to people you do not know! I am not your free research partner. If you do this to people either compensate or quote them.

The more senior you get, the more you focus on mindset over methods. You already know many methods. You use and adapt methods like tools. But mindsets give you strategy & principles to approach problems & people. Here are 2 examples:
- exploration over certainty
- co-creation over control
etc.

Just saw this interview where the question was “how far do you think we are from having AI operate as a junior engineer 24/7?”
I cannot stress enough that I would pay a reasonable fee to 𝘯𝘰𝘵 have an unsupervised junior engineer operating 24/7 in our codebase.

Keep the Mission Impossible movies just as they are, but every time Tom Cruise is revived from certain death he should be just a bit slower, mentally and physically. Like… noticeable impairment.
