Stock photos of busy parents on the computer, rated for realism: 1: Mom has both hands on computer, child seems to need no supervision at all. Work is getting done. Mom is even smiling! This sucks, 2 out of 10.

No, coronavirus is NOT like THE STAND. It’s not anywhere near as serious. It’s eminently survivable. Keep calm and take all reasonable precautions.

Wow, clever trick to use transparent alpha channels on "gendered" image selections and then observe how the ads we served.

If you read one thing today - read this: This is paper demonstrates how automated ML based ad-targeting systems are de facto discriminatory along race, gender, age lines when advertising for housing, employment, or credit. IMO serves as an outright indictment of the practice.

1. Ok, here's a quick thread on a simple question that seems apolitical but isn't. How easy is should it be to open and run an independent store? Late last month, the Republicans on the FTC gave their answer. They decided independent stores should die.

So, a shipment of crickets for the lizard arrived via FedEx today. It was my first time ordering bulk crickets off the internet, and I naively assumed that they would be in like, a bag or some other contraption to facilitate easy transfer to another container. They were not.

@sandbags Nice! Sounds like a successful experiment so far. I'm at a place where I'm relying more and more on my Chromebook for work stuff, and haven't at all missed the MacBook (in fact I prefer it). The PixelBook has a tablet-like interface. It's great.

@sandbags Do you have an actual desktop computer? I haven't for years. I can't imagine giving up a laptop, and in fact haven't used an iPad for years either!
