Once when I was young, around 8 or so, we had a garage sale. My siblings and I were killing time riding our bikes along the sidewalk and this guy stopped in. But he wasn't there to buy anything.
He went up to my mom, introduced himself and said he'd stopped because he saw us...
OK, YouTube just announced very huge news for people in my world....they are going to start monetizing shorts and sharing the revenue and everyone (including, in some comms /YouTube itself/) is saying that creators get 45% but that's...not true.
So let's talk about that:
Some might have seen the recent coverage by @rebexxxxa on @launchhouse, of which I was the only person to go on the record with my name and opinion on the matter.
Here are my thoughts based on coliving situations, and what I've heard over the past two years.
A thread 👇
A company asked why it was so hard to hire a good writer. I told them it was because good writing is an illusion: what people call good writing is actually good thinking, and of course good thinkers are rare.
Last month, three computer scientists proved the NLTS conjecture, attacking one of the most important problems in computational complexity. @mordecwhy reports: quantamagazine.org/computer-scien…

I have a theory that higher-entropy political views are a good thing. The more ways that you deviate from either Rs (if conservative) or Dems (if liberal) means you are engaged and not just buying the combo meal.
To me, how well regulated the militia is needs to be judged by outcomes. If people die every day from gun violence, the regulation is by definition a failure.
Government intentions are meaningless; results are what matter. Conservatives agree on this for everything but guns.
How can we create a useful definition of "well-regulated militia"?
