But (as Cory @Doctorow) and Rebecca Giblin (@rgibli ) point out in their book "Chokepoint Capitalism" - interoperability is also possible for big tech monopolies. That we don't have it is a choice - by Big Tech, and also by regulators.

A general prenatal timeline;
8w: typical confirmation of pregnancy visit
12w: nuchal ultrasound and NIPT to assess risks (CVS can be used to confirm anomalies at this stage)
15-16w: amniocentesis, if preferred. Remember you wait days for results.
20w: anatomy scan

News: @LindseyGrahamSC will introduce a national abortion ban in the Senate tomorrow.
Unless something really unexpected has happened, this will be a 15-week ban. Very interesting that it’s being cast as a “late term abortions act” 👀

It’s not that complicated.
Vaccines, masks, and tests all reduce but don’t eliminate risk.
Using multiple layers reduces risk more, and more people using them reduces risk more.
Acknowledging that there is no magic wand isn’t anti-anything. It’s reality.

Federal coverage for COVID-19 treatment and testing for the uninsured ends today.
Coverage for vaccine administration for the uninsured ends in about two weeks.
The rationing of COVID-care by ability to pay begins.

went and translated that zelensky selfie video from the streets of kyiv, just to know what he was actually saying in response to the russian reports that he had fled -- so here it is for the rest of you, plus this music naturally felt right. enjoy.

Our trailheads along the I-90 corridor are impassable to most vehicles. High-clearance vehicles with AWD/4WD/Tauntaun Wheel Drive are recommended.

Just leaving the ER.
It was a long day. And a stunning amount of Covid.
Today I worked in an area that was temporarily converted into a makeshift ICU during the first COVID wave.
Here’s what different from then.
And also what challenges we’re facing with this surge in NYC: 🧵

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) praises Biden's testing efforts, his team's "responsiveness," and efforts to "depoliticize our COVID response."

1. Those who focus on “Most kids will be fine if they get #COVID19” are missing the big picture. If we let kids get COVID in the next few weeks (which is a foregone conclusion with #Omicron without multiple layers of protection in schools), we create some major problems… 🧵

Here’s a frustrating secret
Today - in midst of Omicron - millions of Americans are begging for access to rapid tests, thousands dying daily.
Get this:
many manufacturers with very high quality rapid tests are begging To ship 100’s of millions of tests to US
But can’t.

IMPORTANT:
RAPID TESTS DO WORK WITH OMICRON
"But why are some people staying negative in the first days they have symptoms??"
This is expected. Symptoms don't = contagious virus
This is literally a reflection of the fact that vaccines are doing their job!

I tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday. I am symptomatic. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I was isolated alone for over a year before being vaccinated because I am severely immunocompromised. I am scared and furious.

Very interesting notice of a potential rulemaking from the @FTC related to algorithmic decision-making (apparently anticipated in 2022).

Husband's school just awarded 20 hours of continuing ed credit to teachers for pivot to online learning last year. Love this recognition of their hard work, learning, and growth while under tremendous strain. No cost, huge value. #vted #meaningfulsupport

Pull is just generally a superior pattern for scaling distributed systems.
* clients can tell if they were interrupted, and retry
* clients can sleep $RAND to stagger update restarts
* central pusher node rapidly becomes resource constrained and bottlenecks
* etc
