@Daojoan it's what guys do! Build fast, break things, trip over the wreckage ~ lose billions, should try it some time 😅

If you're wondering how the gunman got past security at the Trump dinner event - there's a video in this article, he ran through the security checkpoint.

It looks like an officer accidentally shoots another officer as he runs past them.

Also, a police dog spots him before it all happens in the video - but the police officer calls the dog back, not realising anything was wrong.

But, while I am always happy to see favorite writer dress down the usual suspects, I see my role being to represent the #nonquant potential where numbers games are abandoned for just doing something for someone when you know it's good, and knowing that your investment of your time and effort in your community will pay you back, just not in quantified fiat.

The public increasingly hates Flock, the odious surveillance operation, but public officials don't care. They pretend to dislike the grotesque abuses of privacy, but they keep renewing (and starting)contracts with the sleazy company. If it's in your town, raise hell.

Glucose trackers aren’t just for diabetes anymore. Healthy people are using them to see how food, sleep and exercise affect their bodies in real time.

But without clear guidance, all that data can be hard to interpret and may lead to confusion or unnecessary anxiety.

@arstechnica standards?

I'm processing Vulkan shaders so hard right now

Hey @helv how are you

Le combat contre la #Hadopi, c'est 17 ans de lutte (les débats à l'Assemblée datent de 2009 !). La Quadrature du Net s'est créée précisément pour lutter contre ce texte. Le combat judiciaire a commencé, lui, en 2019. Nous sommes passé·es devant le Conseil constitutionnel puis la CJUE, pour qu'enfin le Conseil d'État nous donne raison aujourd'hui.

Good evening everyone

@aral it is difficult to imagine the candidate for a job at Palantir who does not have some stab of understanding (brushed aside next moment of course) that they're joining a sordid cause. surely one must be aware, in joining such a concern, that it's like joining forces with Morgoth?

If you're in #California and like #morel #mushrooms , you might want to get up to the Sierra National Forest in the next few days and do some #foraging in the recent burn scars.

It's going to be a massive morel mushroom year and it's just starting.

McKinley Grove Road opens tomorrow and is the eastern edge of the Garnet Fire footprint. That could be a good area to look.

Another good area would be in the Creek Fire burn scar which runs from the Bass Ranger District to the High Sierra Ranger District. You can access it from many different roads because it's a massive burn scar. If it was me, I would probably check out around Huntington Lake

These mushrooms were found in a recent controlled burn area (from about three years ago) and there were about 50 more of them in a 50x50 foot area this morning. They were at an elevation of about 5500 ft under a canopy of living trees.

Happy foraging!
