NotesAnyone heard of a Django app for managing teams within a site? Less like project management, more like WoW guilds. http://t.co/UgRYd5LOuNFeedUnfurl
NotesShould blog about why I *haven't* quit Facebook, my privacy settings are wide open, and don't care if they make money http://t.co/wAyKqTpdkoUnfurl
NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "Maybe in doing so I'll help people remember that Facebook is not the Internet. It's just one website, and it comes with a price."Unfurl
NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "Telling effective and responsible remote workers that they can no longer work remotely — not because they’re bad at it, but because some other people might be bad at it — will only make those people less effective at their jobs. "Unfurl
NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "What are the reasons, good or bad, that cancer means a half-million- or million-dollar tab? Why should a trip to the emergency room for chest pains that turn out to be indigestion bring a bill that can exceed the cost of a semester of college? What makes a single dose of even the most wonderful wonder drug cost thousands of dollars? Why does simple lab work done during a few days in a hospital cost more than a car? And what is so different about the medical ecosystem that causes technology advances to drive bills up instead of down?"Unfurl
NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "This is Pretty Hate Machine, re-imagined in its entirety on eight different 8-bit systems, so I've named it "Pretty Eight Machine". Sound configurations include: SID/6581 (Commodore 64), POKEY (Atari 800), straight 2A03 (NES), AY/SCC+ (MSX+Metal Gear 2 or Snatcher cartridge), SN76489 (Sega Master System), 2A03+VRC6 (Famicom+Castlevania 3 cartridge), LR35902 (Game Boy), and OPLL (MSX-MUSIC or Japanese Sega Master System).

NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: " “We received about 60 text messages from people complaining about the stacking in the program,” said Lars Mytting, whose best-selling book “Solid Wood: All About Chopping, Drying and Stacking Wood — and the Soul of Wood-Burning” inspired the broadcast. “Fifty percent complained that the bark was facing up, and the rest complained that the bark was facing down.” "Unfurl
NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "This misinformed constituent is of the belief that most undocumented workers are on welfare. The reality is that this is one of the biggest fallacies put out by the Right Wing echo chamber. The work ethic of the undocumented worked many times exceeds that of the American worker and many times employers turn a blind eye to find these workers. There would have been no housing boom without these workers. The lifestyle of the suburban families with lawn service and homecare would be much less appealing as they travelled into the inner cities to work during the day and flee by night."FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "Drones kill a lower ratio of civilians to combatants than we’ve seen in any recent war. Granted, many civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other such wars were killed by our enemies rather than by us. But that’s part of the equation. One reason to prefer drones is that when you send troops, fighting breaks out, and the longer the fighting goes on, the more innocent people die. Drones are like laparoscopic surgery: They minimize the entry wound and the risk of infection."FeedUnfurl
NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "I’ve got a theory, of course. It’s not because cyclists are annoying. It isn’t even because we have a selective memory for that one stand-out annoying cyclist over the hundreds of boring, non-annoying ones (although that probably is a factor). No, my theory is that motorists hate cyclists because they offend the moral order."FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "I cannot imagine how any civilised country could do better. I cannot see how any country can be truly civilised without it. If my family and I had had to deal with the vagaries of insurance, forms, debt, extra disaster or extra anything, I suspect we would have proceeded directly to becoming burdens on the system ourselves.
