    He went on Glenn Beck (he has now deleted this tweet). You know, the public health advocate Glenn Beck — oh wait, no, the antivax conspiracy theorist. That’s the one.

    You'll find produce stands with endless variety and an equal variety of supermarket supply. This isn't hipster farmers markets. Food and food varietal is life everywhere.

    ... do you know any of these vegetables? I picked 4, *just in the aster family*, of hundreds of produce varieties that you can pick up at a market in China you'll have trouble finding in the US, if at all. We in the US eat maybe 3 dozen varieties of vegetables, total.

    Honestly some of the best overview guidelines I found in the 2007 community mitigation guidelines (), which has been superceded by... a much shorter version without these rule-of-thumb figures

    Nothing is as fucked up as 802.3ad link aggregation under Linux It’s fucked enough so many people refuse to change master/slave terminology, which is our industry’s version of confederate statues… and then, there is linux link aggregation

    Correction: the image was sourced from lecture at . Didn’t check YouTube for slide decks; the image is in a slide from a Matsuzawa talk. I retract the first point here.

    You did not literally doctor an image, and I’m sorry to question the specific image you screencapped from a lecture on YouTube. You still are making claims unsupported by original research, and not answering those questions except by deflecting questions to the original author.

    The scientists are not inaccurate (though some are controversial), your claims are, and you've put their names on your own claims. Do you dispute this? Did Matsuzawa 2013 make this figure? Or did you make/find it elsewhere? Why did you put his name on it?

    After briefly skimming this any many others in the timeline, I get the idea that has a worrying pattern of making threads with author citations on claims the original scientific authors did not make

    I’m much more worried that 1) Matsuzawa 2013 did NOT have this figure, but cites it as such. As far as I can tell it’s not by Matsuzawa 2) Matsuzawa 2013 does not at all advance a Wernicke/Broca replacement theory, but a prefrontal WM development discussion

    Yeah ok I’m done with this account. Uggh I feel… *greasy* just skimming this timeline.

    Ok a quick scan leads me to think this is an account that routinely takes (legitimate / good faith) research, makes fringe claims, cites original author names on claims they didn’t make, and push his own ventures. Like, this is a Not Even Wrong version of “energy efficiency”.

    Against all convention this… pop-sci VC promoter (??) has seemingly created his own diagram and put Matsuzawa 2013 on it, when that figure is NOT in the paper which also makes no Broca/Wernicke replacement claims - it discusses differences in prefrontal WM morphology development

    PSA: HMAC-SHA512-256 is, in fact, not HMAC-SHA512/256. Lest you lose an hour wondering where the problem was.

    IUCN (the intl org that classifies endangered species) published its ocean deoxygenation report this week at . My partner did a huge amount of work to lead author a chapter on tuna & billfish impact, with and others. Read:

    It was in the 30s and we went for mango dessert. Shivering, no regrets
