Call me old fashioned but this should be illegal and I side with @YouTube Creators put hundreds of hours of work and Alphabet spends money streaming HQ videos but it should be given to you for free? It's also very affordable...

Maybe but it's blocked in Switzerland because it's considered an "unlicensed online gambling site."
Kalshi is NOT a gambling company. Saying so is incorrect. I assume that people calling Kalshi “gambling” are uninformed, rather than being defamatory, but Kalshi is not “gaming.” It’s been decided in the courts. Please read the 15 pages of KalshiEx LLC v. CFTC (2024) before spreading misinformation Link: media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opin…

This is yet another example of @rorysutherland doorman's fallacy.
Your daily reminder that we need to discuss the labor market situation! MIT’s new “Iceberg Index” suggests today’s AI could already cover work equivalent to 11.7% of the entire U.S. wage bill – far beyond the visible tip of AI adoption in tech. I nstead of just counting layoffs, the study simulates 151 million workers and 32,000 skills to measure where AI could step in, giving policymakers and companies an early warning system for where disruption (or productivity gains) is likely to hit next. - AI is technically capable of performing tasks worth 11.7% of U.S. wage value, about $1.2 trillion across the economy - The currently visible AI exposure in computing and tech roles is only 2.2% of wage value, around $211 billion – roughly one-fifth of the true technical exposure.

"safety" duh 🙄

It makes me sad that Councilmember @charlesallen is putting Waymo's DC launch next year in serious jeopardy because of nebulous "safety" concerns, disingenuous given the sterling safety record of that service in other cities, particularly when compared to human drivers.

I think it was attempting to get you to stay at work longer, might as well stay: there's food, sleeping pods, laundry, day care, etc. This model is made redundant by WFH: why bring all the stuff from home to work, just WFH.
i worked at an office like this for almost 2 years and i can confirm that just like with any other things in society you have 10% of the people doing insane things generating revenue while other 90% do nothing, however u need this type of environment to attract the top 10%

Despite claims that "R is dead" on social media, 2025 has been an incredible year for #rstats: 💻 {ellmer} wrapping LLM APIs; 💻 {mcptools} & {mcpr} implementing MCP connections for R; 💻 Native parallel processing in {purrr} via {mirai} What else are you excited about?

The Truth is Britain is now a charming museum state with great culture and glorious displays; a superb destination but a leftover economic, scientific, and military power, so aside from having caused the Palestinian problem, what the Brits think has no relevance anymore.

Publishing fake, AI-generated stories and images of victims is not only a dangerous distortion. Such fabrication disrespects victims and misuses those people who try to learn and remember. If you see such posts, please don’t share them. Instead, follow the official Auschwitz Memorial page, where every name, every photo, and every story is based on rigorous historical research and the utmost respect for the truth. Go to: @AuschwitzMuseum

If, like Kyle, GIS is the backbone of your work then creating a package like {mapgl} is essential. That's why I created {ambiorix}. Reinvent the wheel, implement everything yourself: own your tools and the solutions they produce.
A benefit to dogfooding in FOSS development? If I need a new feature, I just implement it. I use {mapgl} across all my projects; recently I needed an easy way to format numbers in popups. The result: a new number formatter in the package, which is now yours to try! #rstats
