Now the balloon is down I’m reminded of this: ‘Winston Churchill once said, “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing after they have tried everything else.”’

Ordered my 1st coffee at 10.30am, the 2nd one at 1pm. The Lebanese Lira lost value during that time, resulting in two different charges (the coffee price is pegged to USD) #Lebanon #inflation

I'm so proud of Matt + Harry who I've mentored over the years. They've put what they've learned at Apple & Nest to use on a problem that matters. Today is the starting line, I'm sure a lot will evolve and change with @Mill, but I am so excited for them. Onward!

A lot of people hating on #ChatGPT logic but just wait until they plug an ALU or math engine like Wolfram on to the side of it as an oracle

Iran shot down a Ukrainian International Airlines flight in 2020 and killed 176 people, and it seems to be one of those weird things that everyone has just forgotten about because COVID happened shortly thereafter

Fun fact: Wikipedia has 10 times as much money as it needs. Very little of that goes towards improving the encyclopedia itself, and NOTHING to the authors. Their panhandling is purely a grift for supporting the ever growing parasitic Wikimedia Foundation

We could probably make #OpenStreetMap mappers 10-100x more efficient, and have more fun, with some very simple tools built in to the site. Makes you wonder what has been doing all these years.
