Why the Raiders' Sales Pitch to Klint Kubiak Worked https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/onsi/las-vegas-why-sales-pitch-to-klint-kubiak-worked

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.
Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI.
After finding the document in the trove, I called her.
She broke down in tears.
“I’ve waited 30 years. I…

#potd A week ago I was cycling over sandy piste in Senegal, now this. After de-icing the bike cycling to the office worked quite well, because the city of Vienna is very good at removing snow from bike paths and streets. The pavements are in a worse state, because removing the snow there is the job of each house owner.

I spent Sunday with friends I hadn’t seen in a month or more. We baked cookies, worked on a jigsaw puzzle, shared stories. The story sharing consists of someone talking about a personal experience that would have seemed unthinkable a month ago: a friend with a missing relative, a car left in the street, a family who had 8 loads of laundry because they couldn’t leave the house, running on the ice and fumbling for the whistle while witnessing somebody being abducted right there, right in front of them.
After each story, there is really nothing to say. It is horrible. We nod. We know. We continue the puzzle.

I am trying to renew my US passport. I sent in an application via their online renewal system. It worked well - except that it is picky about photographs.
Well, the rejected the application because they now do not like the photograph that they had accepted.
And now they tell me dimensions - e.g. head 1.38 inches high. Well, I sent 'em a digital photo and unless they tell me the pixel resolution of their printers I can't tell 1.38 inches from a hole in the ground.

I am really interested in the linked.art initiative, but I’m finding it hard to wrap my head around it. What strikes me as particularly odd:

Yeah, icloud-photos-downloaded worked well and is definitely the only way to do this initial upload. Re-enabled ADP now.
I’m now using only external libraries on immich, one for those and one for auto upload. For the auto upload, I’m trying using nextcloud to upload to an external folder that’s also imported on immich as an external library, let’s see if that works.
Nextcloud doesn’t seem to be actually removing the metadata from the videos, that was just a handful of old videos that seemingly lost their metadata when my father duplicated (maybe to take clips out of them? Idk) them.

An eight-month study at a US tech company finds AI tools didn't reduce work but intensified it, as employees worked faster and took on a broader range of tasks (Harvard Business Review)

AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It
One of the promises of AI is that it can reduce workloads so employees can focus more on higher-value and more engaging tasks. But according to new research, AI tools don’t reduce work, they consistently intensify it: In the study, employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so. That may sound like a win, but it’s not quite so simple. These changes can be unsustainable, leading to workload…

Totally normal problems.
So one day I had trouble zipping my winter jacket; around the final teeth, the zipper would stop catching. And when I tried again, I couldn't zip anything at all. Finally, at nth careful attempt it finally worked, and I had no more trouble that day. When I've turned, we looked at it, and decided that a loose thread must have gotten into it while zipping. Cut the thread off.
Next day, the zipper worked just fine in the morning. However, when I was about to leave the train, it suddenly stopped working. It seemed that I'm up for a cold day in unzipped jacket, but it finally caught a few minutes later, on the road. This time, I suspected the zipper. Tightened it, it started working again.
Today, I've tried zipping it three times to make sure it really works. And of course, as soon as I arrived at the destination, it refused to zip. I've tried again while walking, and it fell apart completely. Fortunately, the wind stopped blowing, and walking on snow was hard enough to jumpstart my metabolism fast. Finally, I've replaced the zipper and now everything works.
I wonder what tomorrow holds…
