Probably unrelated to the #NationalGuard shooting, but does anyone remember when a US attorney and the FBI paid a sex offender to entrap two Muslim men with histories of mental illness into a terrorist plot, that they then arrested them for? Oh yeah, that happened under Obama.

Usability, wie es nur die #DB in ihrer Lounge hinbekommt: Dort wo man seine Tasse zum einlegen des Teebeutels hinstellt, ist die Fläche minimal und Kante maximal abgerundet. Wer nicht genau hinsieht [oder gar schlecht sieht], dem kippt die Tasse weg und fällt auf den Boden. #deutschebahn

maybe i should have a website again
i've avoided it for years after deciding that i didn't like both the nature of my old writing and the reasons for writing

Evidence that AI is normal technology include AI systems that are good enough to be useful but not good enough to be trusted, continuing to require human oversight that limits productivity gains;
